Beautiful secluded home
My husband and I had a wonderful stay here! The guest house was clean and beautiful. It was such a treat for us and a great way for us to wrap up our babymoon road trip. I would recommend this place for anyone!
Really enjoyed our weekend in El Dorado wine country. The property is fantastic, everything was just perfect and we really had a great time.

Just stayed in this little gem and couldn't have asked for more. Everything was perfect!
Lovely, comfy & cozy with everything you need for a perfect getaway of rest & relaxation. Loved watching the quail, jays, & robins in the surrounding area, plus all the deer the evening of our arrival. Great find!
