We loved this home! There was plenty of room for everyone. The upstairs gets a little warm and one of the air beds had a hard time staying inflated. However, I would stay here again. The sunsets in the hot tub were epic.
5.0
The house had plenty of space for the 6 of us. It was easy to enter the house with the keyless entry. It was very peaceful and had great views and not to far from town. We only had a few problems. The hot water heater was turned all the way down so we had to turn it up so we could get some hot water. We only had enough dish detergent for 1 load of dishes but when I let them know they delivered a bottle to us that day. The housekeepers/previous guest forgot the throw out the coffee grounds in the coffee pot. If you plan on cooking at the house you need to bring plastic wrap, foil, ziplock bags etc.
5.0
The location of the house was convenient for our holiday plans. The lay out of the home was spacious and accommodated our family. The kitchen is adequately supplied although it was necessary to wash utensils after each meal. The sheets and towels are a nice quality. The beds were firm beyond our preference and the pillows were flatter than preferred. Two notes of interest is; the front door is tied to WiFi and requires a palm contact prior to code entry; and the bedroom with two beds is up a flight of stairs. The owners were pleasant to communicate with.
5.0
Wonderful, peaceful location with amazing hot tub to watch sunset at end of day. Loved seeing all the deer walking the property throughout our time at the house. Clean and spacious for our group. Fun location to small town fun (note: Uber was not available and taxis were expensive). Found a great hike, winery that also had beer tasting for those non-wine types in our group, live music with fire pits to relax and enjoy, and lunch in downtown Sonora. Definitely recommend for weekend getaway!

The property is beautiful and spacious, easily accommodating 7 people. The kitchen is well equipped, and there are several areas where you can relax. The air conditioning and Tesla charger were both blessings, and the grill works great. Unfortunately, the beds were stiffer than what any of us preferred, and the hot tub was marginally functional. Otherwise this was a great stay.

This home is amazing with plenty of room for my family and in-laws. The description of the home was perfect. We were visiting for a family event and my elderly mom and aunt didn’t have to worry about stairs (huge plus for me).
A few of my favorite things about this place: the kitchen, the sunsets from the deck, the proximity to the events we planned, the hot tub, and the ease of contacting the owner.
I would definitely recommend this place to others.

The house was exactly as described in the pictures. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and responsive in answering text messages. We loved the proximity to Dodge Ridge and Columbia State Park. We hope to visit again!

We rented this lovely retreat last year for Polar Express and were very happy to do so again this year. The home is very comfortable and accommodated out family of 8 most comfortably. It is very convenient to the town of Columbia and to the Jamestown Railroad 1897 for the Polar Express experience for us and our grandchildren and their parents. We will certainly rent again next year if the grandchildren express interest in doing Polar Express again.

My family (me husband, 1 year old and 4 year old) and our friends and their 1 year old and the house was great. Everything we needed and the back patio to see the morning deer was truly amazing. The master was great and so much space we had a blow up toddler bed in there and could have fit 5 of them in there. Highly recommend this house to anyone!
Layout of house for those playing with kids: When you walk in - master is to the right along with a little room with piano (we did the baby’s port a crib and monitor in there and worked out great for doing middle of the night feedings)
To the left dinning room then stairs that lead to one room and bathroom. Back downstairs you have the queen and other bedroom and bathroom and then around corner kitchen and living room.

This was a great location. We had two families stay at the home while in the area for a wedding (4 adults, 5 kids). We had plenty of space for all. The home is well taken care of, an awesome kitchen… we felt very safe and enjoyed the remote views. We had a few deer and Turkey sightings which the kids loved. Very close to historic downtown Columbia. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this house. The kids said they want to come back and never leave the house next time! Lol we saw deer and wild turkeys daily. The hot tub was everyone’s favorite part, especially at sunset. We had some issues with the oven and the owner was quick to respond and offer help. I loved the close location to downtown Columbia!

The home is beautiful and the views are awesome. Very quiet and relaxing. Check-in was a breeze. The spa was great and the kitchen very well appointed; plenty of beds and bathrooms for our family and the primary suite is very nice. Proximity to town and amenities, including golf courses, a plus!

Great House/Great Stay
We stayed for a 3 nights with another couple and their kids and had a wonderful time.
The house was perfect and clean and only a short drive from the small mining town of Columbia and only a few minutes further down the highway from Sonora, a charming town.
Would absolutely stay again if we ever come back!

50th birthday sisters weekend
From the moment we pulled up to this beautiful house, we knew it was going to be a great weekend. The house was simply amazing! It was spread out and the 3 bathrooms is crucial when you have 8 women. The master bedroom is a retreat in its own. The view from the deck is amazing and a great place to watch the family of deer who seem to reside on the property. We cooked up some great meals in the kitchen with top notch appliances. Loved being so close to Columbia State Park. Such a great weekend!
