Much Needed Getaway
We loved our stay! A couple of notes: the vaulted ceiling and draperies they have up there aren’t being dusted/vacuumed, but if they were we’d have literally nothing to say except how much we loved our stay! Make sure to reserve the pool and spa area!

What a nice, hidden gem! We loved our stay, and the pool/relaxation area overlooking the valley was so peaceful. We wish we could have stayed a week! The property is close to several wineries which is very convenient so you don’t have to drive far. Just what we needed for a little getaway! The only issue we had was that we did leave a breakfast allergy recommendation but it wasn’t adhered to. Otherwise everything was easy and we will be back!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. So sorry to hear about the mishap with the dietary restrictions. We were out of town and my staff should have been aware of it since I left instructions about it. Once again I appologise.

From checking to breakfast they didn’t miss a beat . We were notified about the smoke of the continuing fires in advance so we surely did appreciate that . It was surely not as bad as I thought it would be and we had an amazing stay ! My partner and I were celebrating our three year anniversary and we could not have asked for a better spot to celebrate and add to our wonderful memories together.

We really liked this place. It looked a little bit mysterious as we were almost alone there. Also the place and decoraruons made us feel as the characters of some fiction book or movie))) Unfortunately, the evening of our stay was spoiled by smok from the Mosquito fire. However this was not the owners and keepers fault, on their end everything was great. We loved the pool and breakfast which were the one of the reason that n of choosing this place.

Beautiful Place to Stay
This is a lovely place to stay, with beautiful grounds, outstanding views, lavish accommodations and ample amenities. It would be nice if some sort of breakfast option was available for early risers (9am is a bit late) and if there was a little more flexibility for dietary restrictions.

Absolutely wonderful stay! So peaceful and relaxing, my Husband and I really needed a getaway. We loved the perfect basket breakfast delivered to our room every morning. The view from the property is breathtaking, overlooking the Coloma Valley and American River. I highly recommend this place for those wanting to truly relax.

This is a hidden gem I would recommend to anyone. We were visiting family in Placerville and this place was available to us. We thought it might be to remote but it wasn't at all. Very peaceful and quiet with breath taking views of the town of Coloma, which is where gold was originally discovered. The grounds are well manicured and lots of local wildlife. The owners were very friendly and informative. We will definitely be back!

A short but wonderful stay, with an amazing view! The location is great, and so nice and quiet. The bed was cozy, with lots of pillows, and soft sheets. And the room was clean, and had everything you need. I was pleased to see that the soaps provided were cruelty free. The inn keepers were very kind, and accommodating with our plant-based breakfast request, which was very yummy! Very impressed with our stay.

Great location less than a mile from Gold Hill Vineyards. Beautiful property and comfortable accommodations. They are still operating in full COVID19 lockdown mode like it's 2020 but that's okay. The self-check-in was easy and they deliver a delicious breakfast to your door. If you need anything you simply text the proprietor and she responds very quickly.
