Serene and Quiet County Cottage Near HWY 50
Welcome to our secret Shangri La of the Sierras! This studio guest house is on our private 1 acre property. We live in the main house. The guest house has its own private entrance and fenced in yard. This natural setting is peaceful yet close to everything you need. 7 minutes from HWY 50. Free range chickens and bunnies on main property. Not a good place for loud noise or partying but a calm quiet place to hide and restore yourself.

This great little cottage style home was perfect for our purposes as we awaited the completion of our home construction. It’s also a perfect stay for those who are looking for a peaceful location which has the feeling of remoteness yet close to many great locations and activities.

We have stayed at the “Serene & Quiet Cottage” several times. It is always clean and cozy. We travel with our two golden retrievers and the fenced yard is very nice and convenient for them. Communication with the owner is always quick and easy. And the cottage is conveniently located for wineries, Apple Hill, downtown Placerville or other local sites. You do have to pass the high school to get to and from the cottage from Highway 50 or points north, so plan accordingly. It can be very congested at times!

My grown daughter and I stayed here for a peaceful weekend away. It was very quiet and easy. We saw deer in the morning and were able to go to town quickly for our a pedicure and groceries.
We had a wonderful weekend in this small and peaceful home.

Property was exactly as described and was a very private little cottage. Sarah was super communicative, and made our stay very enjoyable. The space provided us ample room and was much more enjoyable than a hotel. Would stay again!

It's a cozy place, secluded, and safe. The locals are friendly and the nearby restaurants are super Tasty! We visited Yuki Sushi (Amazing Cuts!!), Rey Mimosa (super friendly, food great) and Papa Italian Restaurant (absolutely to die for). There's a Chinese place too, but we didn't have the extra time to visit it. I will say it's a popular place. Yes, this property was great for us.

We enjoyed our 4-night stay in the cozy cottage with our two golden retrievers. There was plenty of room, the cottage was clean and had everything we needed to eat most of our meals in during our stay. The communication with the host was simple and had a quick turnaround. The owners give you all the space and privacy you would like. We would definitely stay again.

Our daughter was coming from out of town for the holidays and when their flight home got cancelled due to weather, Sarah was very accommodating in letting them extend their stay.
