About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Halcyon House, make memories here! Welcome to your foothills wine country home.


Spacious Victorian style cottage, designed for relaxation, NOT for work crews, we’re sorry. Sweet front porch and large rear patio for outdoor living. Private, quiet location, yet steps away from dining, shopping and wine tasting in historic Amador City. Over 40 wineries are a short drive away.

Halcyon House has been a five star vacation rental since 2016, and have a loyal group of repeat guests. Join us and see why!

The house features a main floor master with king bed and full bath. Second floor includes one king bedroom and one queen, with second bath. Both upstairs bedrooms have dormers with day beds, perfect for kiddos or a reading nook. Kitchen is fully furnished with plates, glasses, flatware, pots and pans, small appliances and coffee, tea, creamer and sweetener.

Charming front porch is one spot for outdoor relaxation. Large private back patio offers lounge area, dining table and grill. Propane tank and grill cleaner are included. Please let me know if you run out of either.

We look forward to your visit, cheers!

Adorable house

Our stay at the Halcyon house in Amador city was perfect. We were celebrating my 2 granddaughters who just turned 21. The location was perfect..close to wineries, hiking, shopping and rode the rail cars. We would definitely come back and stay in the Halcyon House again!

Girls weekend

This is my second stay here. This was a girls weekend! There were five of us and the space was perfect. I will definitely be back over and over. This house has everything you need and even things you wouldn’t have thought you needed. The location is perfect for a girls weekend lots of games and laughs. Cocktails on the patio, a cute town steps away for food and shopping. Can’t say enough good things about this sweet little place. All of my questions are always answered quickly as well, which I really appreciate.

Relaxing weekend in Amador County

We stayed at Halcyon House in Amador City. The house was very comfortable for 3 couples. Everything in the house is updated and tasteful. It has a nice outdoor area but was too chilly for us to be outside. It's a very short walk to downtown. Marilee is the most responsive host I've ever worked with on a vacation rental. I hope to return to this house again - it's a special find.

Amador wine tasting

Property was very nice and had everything we needed for relaxing and cooking during our stay. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Many small added touches that made the stay as easy as being at home. Sorry the weather didn’t allow us to use the beautiful patio.

A 10 Star find!

This is wine country at its best. This home is not only very clean, it is classy and comfortable in every detail. We went to celebrate an anniversary and Marilee added some thoughtful, delightful extras to make our stay special. She was extremely helpful when we (uneducated in new technology) asked for some direction in using the thermostat. This place was the top of the line. We recommend it 100% and hope we can stay there again.

A true gem in the Gold Country

This was our second stay at the Halcyon House and when our stay is complete, we always feel a little sad. Both the property and host Marilee are warm and welcoming, and Halcyon feels like home. It is beautiful inside and out and has a well equipped kitchen. The location is quiet and a stones throw to downtown Amador City and a short drive to Sutter Creek and the wine region of Shenandoah Valley. We will definitely return!

Cute house, had everything we needed. The host was very helpful. It was a bit cold for people that live in Arizona as the heater only went to 72, however the furniture was cozy as they had throws that came in handy. Marilee thank you for your help!

Better than we could have ever imagined!

Having never been in the area before, we were thrilled by the location for one - one block walk to great food and cocktails at the Imperial, local brewery, quaint city. Everything we were here to do was a short drive. And once back at Halcyon House, it offered every amenity we needed - great attention to detail, very welcoming setting, indoor and outdoor areas that are comfortable and relaxing. I speak for all 6 of us when I say this is a wonderful gem, a home away-from-home, with a host who is friendly and responsive (not that we needed anything!) We highly recommend!!!

The Best-- hosts have thought of everything!

We've lived in the Bay Area and North Bay for 40 years and this was the first time visiting this area. Amazing! No surprise that this property gets such high ratings-- it is well-deserved: It's plush, comfortable, spacious, thoughtfully appointed and well stocked. Loved the huge, inviting back patio-- shaded, comfy padded chairs, beautiful trees and flowers. Kitchen was a joy to cook in. We knew we were staying during days that the town was closed but it didn't matter-- had long morning hikes and an easy 10- minute drive to numerous wineries for tasting and lunch, and loved returning to the home to relax and cook dinner. We're already looking forward to next year's return! Many thanks for sharing your home!

Amador City Treasure!

Just returned from two nights at this lovely property! There were six of us friends on a wine tasting adventure! This home was by far the best VRBO I've had the experience of using! It was private and in a charming setting. The host was diligent in replying to my inquiries! It was clean, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we could have needed, plenty of bath towels, etc! I would recommend this to anyone who would be going to this area!

Perfect Family Retreat

This was the perfect place for our family to stay! My sister just got married at Hotel Sutter but because my family is a larger than average we opted to get our own place instead of staying at the hotel. This house was PERFECTION! It is so clean and comfortable plus it has everything you could possibly need! I’m a self professed linen snob, the sheets and towels are lovely here, they even provide good toilet paper! The kitchen has all the utensils, appliances, dishes and serving ware you could possibly need. I really appreciated the great extras, I brought a steamer but there was already one there with the iron. My kids who had to share rooms appreciated how there was some privacy between the beds. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the setup and decorating of this home. My 9 year old LOVED the backyard play space, it was a wonderful way for her to decompress after all the formal events of the weekend. The location of the house is quiet, safe and secure. The hosts were easy to contact and there is also a local property manager if there is an immediate need. If our family ever has a need to travel to the area again we will be staying here. Thank you!
