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.

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!

Quiet cozy NYE

We went up here for the long New Year’s weekend. The rental was very clean, well furnished, and had plenty of things for us to see, read and watch. We especially noticed the decorations from different cultures around the world. Well, we didn’t see chickens and bunnies this time we did see some deer and a very friendly cat. Highly recommend it.

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!

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!

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.

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. 😉

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.
