Perfect location in a beautiful setting!
This property was perfect for exploring the area and participating in a local cycling event! The cottage is clean and comfortable; the kitchen was well-stocked with tools for making meals; and the location was very, very quiet. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful; I am only sorry that, because of my schedule, we never got to meet in person. :) I would recommend this property to anyone coming to the area. I look forward to returning and staying here again! Thank you!

Excellent Place
Sweet Oakes was an excellent place to stay in the Siera Foothills. The place was clean and loved that we could cook dinner at night. The owner gave great recommendations for nearby hiking trails & wineries. The owner even met us nearby late at night to ensure that we found the place. And would go back just for the banana bread!!

Never again
Owner really should update listing to read, "converted garage/mother-in-law quarters." She should also let potential guests know that if your 2nd guest isn't with you the 1st night but shows up the 2nd night, simply to go to sleep, she will pound on the door and demand $100 cash or kick you out. I've stayed at any vacay rentals and never encountered an owner such as this. If you want to be watched and micromanaged while you color, maintain appropriate volume and leave everything the way you found it but still get told next time I better tell her exactly who might be staying with you, this is your place. Otherwise, literally pick anywhere else.

Guest booked property (not a garage conversion) for one person but came with three adults. I was concerned when I saw a 2nd vehicle after dark and knocked on the door. Nobody was "kicked out." It’s illegal to defraud an innkeeper. This guest is not welcome back. (Did not see this review until today.)

This is a wonderful place to stay for two people. The host provided a bakery treat of our choice, orange juice, eggs, coffee, condiments, cream, and truffles. The place is peaceful and clean. The king size bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this vacation cottage.

We enjoyed our stay very much! This home is located in a very quiet, peaceful area. Our host. Terri, was communicative and responsive. She left us homemade banana bread. What a delicious welcome! The bathroom has been recently remodeled and is very pretty and clean. The cal king bed is so comfortable and we slept great! Will definitely visit again.

Terri and John were amazing hosts! Their guest house was super clean and extremely well equipped. The extra little touches (the homemade apple tart, fresh flowers, the well-stocked refrigerator) made our stay even more special! The picture of the view from the deck was what sold us on this property, and we were not disappointed! Sweet Oaks is a peaceful retreat.

Perfect Location!
Sweet Oaks was the perfect place for us to enjoy a quiet, beautiful weekend. Close to wine tasting, restaurants and has it's own deck w/ bbq with a relaxing view of oak covered hills, bird watching, and a lovely rose garden. The attention to detail included fresh flowers, a very well stocked kitchen, lovely soaps, and a home made lemon tart. This is the cleanest VRBO we have stayed at. Owner's pride shows in every way. We were very pleased with our stay, and hope to go back soon!

Great Stay
Very nice guesthouse with absolutely no amenity you could possibly need overlooked by the homeowners. It is a very comfortable space and was completely spotless! Perfect for my much-needed little getaway to the beautiful foothills. Practically in the backyard of the numerous wineries and close to the fun small old 49er country towns for dinner and shopping. Highly recommend.

Little slice of Heaven on earth
I choose this property for the beautiful landscape. The picture off the deck sold me. This property was more then we expected. Beautiful from inside the home and on the deck. It was quiet, peaceful and just the get away we did not even realize we needed. We Celebreated our 37th Anniversary. ❤️ We plan to return in the fall. Terri and John are very courteous hosts. We enjoyed the extra touches to make it feel so welcoming along with all the comforts of home. Maureena

Attention to detail
Attention to detail is what comes to mind after staying at this property. For example, there’s not just a cellphone charging station, but the cables are included as well. Everything one could possibly need when staying away from home for a few days, is available and looks as good as new. The owners are very helpful and go above and beyond to accommodate any requests. I highly recommend this property.

Quiet Stay in Amador County
This is a cute quiet place in the country outside Plymouth off the road to Fiddletown. It is perfect for a quiet, relaxing get-away for a couple. Everything thing you need is there including some special touches such as farm fresh eggs and homemade goodies. Close enough to towns to go out if you want and plenty of other activities in the county to do.

Perfect post-Thanksgiving stay
My husband and I wanted a quick get away after Thanksgiving. I found Terry's place and it was everything we needed. It was very clean and had many extras we were not expecting. Terry made our stay with those extras she included. We cannot wait to come back in the spring/summer when we can enjoy the beautiful patio. Thank you Terry and we'll see you again soon.

Everything was homey and sparkling clean!
The property is absolutely gorgeous! Even though it was a rainy weekend, we managed to sit out under the oaks, listen to the birds chirping, and enjoy a glass of wine and a slice of the banana bread that was kindly left out for us. The fridge was stocked with eggs, butter, orange juice, and a selection of hot sauces -- we were all set for breakfast Saturday morning. Sweet Oaks was a perfect size for the two of us, and stocked with everything (and I do mean everything!) we could have wanted or needed for a cozy weekend away. I hope we have the opportunity to return soon!
