Great home with lots of amenities to keep adults and keeps entertained and pampered. So many fun activities from video games, pool table, ping pong, archery, and more. But we didn't even get a chance to do that because we were so enthralled with the pool and hot tub. The property is quite large so you feel like you're escaping to a private retreat. However, many stores and attractions are within a 10-20 minute should you need anything. Highly recommended for groups with kids as the place is large enough to accommodate multiple people while still providing privacy.

The home was in a beautiful area with deer and turkeys on the property and fantastic views. The home is large and well equipped for a large family or gathering.

The property was gorgeous. Games, pool, quiet. Everyone happy kids-grandma. The property owners helped us figure out logistics.

Perfect stay for our annual family gathering! The house was plenty spacious for adults and kids, the pool was a much-needed amenity to cool off in the 100-degree temps, and the area was very fun for exploring. The big kitchen made it very easy for cooking family meals, and with four bedrooms + the game room and office, we had ample sleeping space. The A/C kept us cool during a very hot stretch. In our few days here, we loved strolling through the town of Sonora, exploring historic Columbia, visiting the Moaning Caverns and Angels Camp, and also a nice drive up to Pinecrest Lake, which is so scenic and very refreshing. The property is very private and offers plenty of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. In all, a wonderful stay in a beautiful area with plenty to do (for all ages).

Just what we had in mind, meals and swimming together with a lovely view and privacy.

Great property, feels secluded but close to town. House has plenty of room for everyone to hang out together or to retreat to their own space if wanted. Host was quick to respond and super appreciative of our feedback. Only recommendation would be to supply more towels, one per person meant we were waiting on laundry for showers on day 2, 3 and 4 of our trip. With laundering fees and guest fees over 6 people we definitely expected enough towels for our party of 11 for pool and showering. Overall- great trip, nice owner and thanks to the pool guy who visited once during our stay and helped with some of the pool features. Would return again!

One of the best rentals. Everything is supplied.. have never seen a place so well equipped almost like being at home, even items for our dog. The cleaning crew gave us a spotless home and questions were answered in a very timely manner with easy checking... 1st class rental

My husband, son, myself and our pups had a wonderful stay at the Phoenix Lake - Cedar Ridge home. This home and property is beautiful. The home is large, clean, plenty of space, comfortable, private, had everything we needed and then some. You are in the hills surrounded by trees and wildlife but shopping and food areas are just a 5-10 minute car ride. We had a wonderful time enjoying the pool during the day and the TV/game room at night - watching movies and playing pool. We saw deer and wild turkeys daily, even a mama turkey with quite a few babies. They hang around the area but don't bother you. We stayed for 5 nights and only went somewhere else 1 day. There was so much to do and its so relaxing, we enjoyed just staying at the house. The internet works great (I had to work some and we were streaming but never had any issue) It was hot while we where there and the AC kept us cool both up and down stairs. Veronica is a great host, always available, and check-in and out is as easy as can be. It was a great stay and I would definitely like to go back and bring more of the family next time!

The property is great and very relaxing. The outdoor spaces are really nice. We had three minor issues. The indoor freezer was full of food when we arrived with no room for our food. The office sofa bed was had not been cleaned recently so we didn't feel we could use it. The hot tub heating instructions were scattered and hard to follow, spanning multiple pages. Those could be better, but we eventually figured it out.. I would stay here again though, it was nice

This was our second year coming to this house and it's been a lifesaver during the pandemic. We have family in Twain Harte and Sonora so we can have my parents and my brother and his family come to the house after our nine and six year old niece finish their online schooling in the mornings. It's great to have a private pool and the space to eat lunch and dinner with older grandparents, two unvaxed children and our unvaxed infant, who is seven months old, and feel safe. The house itself is really well equipped for family fun and Veronica the property manager is extremely responsive and helpful.

My family and I booked this property over Labor Day weekend. We were sad when our Lake Tahoe plans fell apart due to the fires but it all worked out for the best! Veronica’s home is so spacious and lovely! The photos are accurate. This home had plenty of room for our party of 13 - and then some! We went swimming every day (highs of 90s), we grilled, and ate on the deck. We watched the hummingbirds, wild turkey, and deer throughout the day. The house is equipped with toys to keep the young (and big) kids entertained. I cannot say enough about this property. Highly recommend!

Had a bachelorette party here for the weekend and it was beautiful. We loved our stay

We had a fun time in Sonora. House was great, perfect for family with kids who are big enough to enjoy the massive tv/game room. Unfortunately, we had two days of smoke but the house was large enough for the kids to be in one end and adults were able to play cards in peace on the other!!!! It actually worked out really well. Owners were very responsive when contacted with any questions and made several suggestions as to what to do in the area. Pool was cleaned regularly by a maintenance person and hand several floats and chairs poolside. We lived by the pool, so this was greatly appreciated. Only feedback we would have for the owners, is there is some upkeep on the house that should be done. But overall the place was great and I would recommend for a family vacation.

We enjoyed a wonderful holiday at this lovely home. The setting was secluded and quiet amongst the trees with deer and other wildlife spotted daily. Veronica was a kind host. You could tell this is a much loved home enjoyed by their own family. Our family enjoyed the great pool to cool down from some very hot weather. There were plenty of towels for the pool. The grandchildren really enjoyed the games room. It was also great to see them enjoying other activities like puzzles and card games too in such a relaxing setting. There were several TV's and we enjoyed watching the Olympics in the evening together) The kitchen was well equipped for our family dinners of 10. We were very impressed by the well stocked supplies. There were ample sleeping arrangements and comfy beds. The area is terrific with several small historic towns to explore and the kids just loved the "Moaning Caves". We had hoped to visit Yosemite as it is close but reservations are required even for day visitors at this time, so plan ahead! The house was perfect for a family gathering and we will be back. Thank you Victoria.

What a beautiful setting! This is a large comfortable mountain home with lots of room for our three generations of family, nine of us. The beautiful pool and attached hot tub occupied us for many hours! The game room and ping pong in the garage were a hit. Lots of “extras” provided. It’s very private. Thank you for sharing your home!

We celebrated our parents 45th wedding anniversary! The house had ample sleeping arrangements and lots of games to occupy all age groups. The pool was our gathering place during the heat wave and It was awesome. Everything was comfy and we were impressed with a well stocked kitchen. The owners/ manager were very responsive when we discovered the upstairs a/c was not functioning. Super place would definitely recommend and we will be back!

This is a really fun property with so much to do. The game room, the pool, the ping pong table, and the kitchen were some of the highlights of our stay. The property is in a very convenient location to many places (super close to Safeway which is a plus). The home is in need of a couple maintenance things but overall was very comfortable and enjoyable.

This is a beautiful place, in the country but not too far from civilization (and a grocery store). I had my 49er Birthday Party here so it was a mixture of family and friends, all ages. The house is perfect for a party such as this (game room, pool/spa, multiple decks and outdoor spaces, BBQ, big kitchen with lots of fridge/freezer space), or just a week/weekend getaway to relax by the pool and read. I actually slept outside under the stars! (This was a choice as there are plenty of places to sleep) If you like animals, you will see wild turkeys (and their babies), deer, a multitude of birds, including hawks; if you're not fond of animals, rest assured they kept their distance. The kitchen is well stocked for meal-making and there is a large dinning area to sit all together inside as well as out. (I would bring a tent canopy when eating outside as it is very hot in the summer; they do have some umbrellas though). The host was very accommodating and friendly and returned calls and messages all throughout the rental process; I really cannot say enough about our stay and the property itself, just wonderful! This is also a dog-friendly property, unfortunately I lost my dog just before the trip, but it would be a dog's heaven (on earth) as well! I highly recommend this property and would love to return sometime, just know they book up fast! Enjoy! = )

What a beautiful home and property. 5 of us went for a mini vacation and didn't want to leave. The home is beautiful. There is a huge family/game room upstairs. Plenty of decks and places to relax with a coffee (or wine) and I have not even mentioned the pool or the kitchen!! We cooked a lot. Well stocked. No small detail overlooked. It's spectacular there. Veronica and John get right back to you if you have a question. It was a great trip. Highly recommend it.

Great place, very clean, well stocked. Perfect for a family or 2. We really enjoyed our stay. If we ever happen to go to Sonora again, we would stay at this house.

A wonderful, quiet mountain spot for a family retreat. With the combination of pool, hot tub, pool table, ping pong, games, TV, great kitchen, etc we were able to have a wonderful family vacation with plenty of space and activities.

This was a great respite for a close getaway. Lots of things to do at the house. Loved the visits from the wild turkeys and deer. And the hot tub was great at night. The house is well lived in - with everything you need.

Our small social bubble had a fine few days in the Sierra foothills. The house was within striking distance of both Dodge Ridge and Bear Valley ski areas. It is well appointed, with everything needed to prepare meals and relax. It is a quintessential vacation house.

This is a great property with all the space you need for a large family or group. We have a blended family and there was plenty of space for all. There was 12 of us and it never seemed we were cramped. From the pool table, dart board and entertainment room over the garage, the puzzle/boardgame room and the ping-pong table in the garage, not to mention the spa, we all had a wonderful time enjoying the property and our family/friends. This is a great property located in a very centralized location, as you are close to Dodge Ridge in the winter and close to several lakes in the summer. We all highly recommend this property for a group of friends and or family. Looking forward to staying here again!

Our "family/friend bubble" had the best time. Veronica was really great at communicating . The house is big and the perfect size for large groups. The younger kids had so much fun in the pool, finding all the toys around the house. The older kids had fun in the play room. No one wants to leave! Thank you Veronica for opening your home to us. We will definitely be back. -Monica

Beautiful house in a private setting. Room for the family to spread out or join together for dinner or a swim. Shopping centers are close but far enough away to remind you that you are on vacation

This place is amazing plus It’s super accommodating for families with little ones. I wish I would have known about this place sooner, I would have booked it earlier and for longer. This place is a must if you have little ones.

Great house , fantastic pool great getaway to swim and enjoy family time during these crazy times .

This is a wonderful property that is well maintained and beautifully landscaped. The home is expansive and suited our group of 10 well. Bedrooms are well appointed and beds were comfortable. We enjoyed bbq’s and time on the two decks. Most of our time was spent poolside which we really enjoyed!! We will definitely return !!

We had a great time in this house. Beautiful area, comfortable house, great outdoor features. We would like to rent it again next year.

If I could give this home more than 5 stars, I would. Veronica was wonderful!! She replied quickly to our emails. The home and it’s surroundings were beautiful!! We enjoyed the swimming pool, pool table, and ping pong. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed cooking together. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Amazing game room! Well stocked, nice floor plan, good communication - would visit again!
