Beautifully furnished interior; convenient amenities; very charming. The owner spent time and attention to details was obvious. iPhone chargers, CD’s, etc. Felt completely at home, without the impersonal atmosphere of a hotel, at the same price.

Getaway Cottage

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.

The house was super charming. In a very quiet neighborhood would definitely come back love the way it was decorated the fireplace. Added such a warm coziness that was comfortable. Everything we needed was there.

As Advertised!

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!

Shingle Springs Hideaway

Quick stay but nice accommodations. Clean, comfortable bed, nice touches with candy and fresh flowers. We were able to check in early to drop off our things vs driving around with everything in the car. Sarah was accommodating. We weren’t there much, but was very comfortable if we had to stay for longer periods of time. Would stay again.

Cozy & Convenient Cottage

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!

Perfect retreat space

Everything we needed with no fuss or hassle. It was a small home like retreat that served the two of us and our older dog perfectly.( we just need to work on his relationship with chickens and bunnies.) we felt like this was our own private getaway, but a space close enough to food and activities. It was a perfect outside time also.

Quiet retreat close to home

I needed a quiet area for my dog and I to stay around the 4th of July that wasn’t a huge distance from my house. Sarah’s place was only 1 hour away and was perfect. My pup was nice and calm with the area being so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Sarah was an awesome and accommodating host. We will be back so don’t steal my 4th of July idea. 😉

We had a good stay with our two dogs. It is a cute little cottage. Everything was great. There are lots of nice touches and detail. For example, there are usb charging cords in the bedroom and living room. The only minor issue was the air conditioning. It is a portable unit and we were having a heat wave (111 degrees) so the little unit had to work really hard to keep the place cool. The fan was pretty loud. Under cooler circumstances, you could run it on a lower fan speed.

Relaxing Stay in Shingle Springs

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this pleasant get-away. It was, as the title says, truly serene and quiet. There are a few things that are very important to us; a clean place, a comfy bed, and privacy. This VRBO has all of that and more. The host was available for us, yet, let us have our space. She thought of all the little details, i.e., extra pillows and blankets, new toothbrushes, bottled water in the refrigerator, along with many other extras. The kitchen was well equipped, the shower was divine, and we slept like babies on the comfortable bed. We especially liked all the DVDs that were available, along with games, books, and streaming shows on the television. This sweet cottage is close to many recreational spots. We visited Placerville, Sutter Creek and Jackson. South Lake Tahoe was our planned day trip, but the weather changed, so we stayed closer to home base. You will love staying here. It is very peaceful, and if you're lucky, you'll see some wildlife out the window!

Foothill tranquility

We chose this property in large part for the location off the beaten path but within easy striking distance of the Folsom area. It provided exactly the peace and quiet we had hoped, and that made our down time and sleeping much better than somewhere busier. Arrival was smooth, and the property was clean, although no what I would call high level ‘industry standard’ clean. Given the length of our stay we also expected to clean as we went anyway. The kitchen was amply equipped and big enough for one person to cook at a time. There wasn’t much storage space in the kitchen, so we did smaller shops rather than a full stock-up process. The bed was comfortable, and the living space was sufficient for two people. The electric fireplace was great to knock the chill off most days, and when it was warm enough we enjoyed sitting outside. We don’t watch a lot of TV, but navigating the smart TV wasn’t super intuitive. We were able to stream on laptop or iPad just fine. Great WiFi strength. We run an online business and were able to do what we needed while there.

my family had an event in Shingle Springs and we ended up staying at this wonderful place. I don't usually write reviews but wanted to let other people know of this gem. Sarah was very accommodating to any requests we had. It was very clean, cute with books for all ages and DVD videos. There is a regular size fridge (love it) and anything you need to be able to cook meals there. The yard is safely fenced in and we had our puppy and that worked out great. There is a washer and dryer. It is a few minutes from my favorite place Lotus Park - Bring water toys. We stopped and got the best sandwiches from "Sourdough Sandwich Place" only a few minute away. Restaurants and shopping minutes away. I plan on staying there each time I am up near Shingle Springs. Most relaxing trip I have been on in years. Please check it out ! It will be well worth it. One other thing if you have kids and they like to race cars or go bowling you can go to Red Hawk Casino in Placerville for an adventure for the day.

You’re going to want to stay here…

Just the cutest little spot! I found myself wishing I had longer to stay. It was just me and the space was wonderful but it would be comfortable for a couple or two friends or a parent/child. It was peaceful and quiet and absolutely adorable. Comfy bed, thoughtful extras like chargers near the bed & near the couch, coffee pods and creamer cups, coloring books with colored pencils. The outdoor space was beautiful with mature trees! Wifi was great, TV had streaming options, and the fireplace with the flameless candles on top added so much charm. Host was friendly and communicative but nonintrusive. I hope to return sometime :) thank you for a great stay!
