About this property

The HideAway in Somerset

An incredible home with stunning views from the porch or take a short hike to the top of the hill for an amazing 360 degree panoramic view. So nice to sip some champagne or have a beer watching the sunset.

This amazing home has 2 first floor master suites with private baths, 4 upstairs bedrooms (that are larger than most master bedrooms) with each pair sharing jack-n-jill bathrooms where each room has its own sink area. A game room with a poker table, foosball table, pool table, air hockey, TV, games, weights, and a treadmill.

The wrap-around porch is extra deep with a beautiful local view and a pleasure to relax on while sipping wine or having a rootbeer float. The pool has a 30-foot waterslide, a waterfall, and a spa with a pool area bathroom. A propane Bar-B-Queue is also available poolside, in fact the house has 3, one Traeger smoker on the porch, along with a large Propane barbecue, and another propane barbecue located up at the pool.

Such a magnificent vacation rental; where it will be tough to decide where to enjoy your meals, on-the-porch, poolside or at the dining table that comfortably seats 10.

Wine tasting abounds on Friday through Sunday and locally we have historic Jackson, Placerville (aka Hangtown) and numerous micro-breweries and vintners. Our favorites wineries are Saluti Cellars in Somerset and Iverson's Vineyard Winery in Fairplay.... and we love the food and the beer at Solid Ground Brewing. Attending a wedding locally? Then, this is the perfect place for up to 12 adult guests. Parking... you could park 20 cars here and have room for more without a problem.

Do you have a baby or two? Not a problem there are two cribs and two high chairs for your convenience.

Multiple ironing boards and irons. Two full-length mirrors in case a bride or groom want to get a full view before the "I do" moment.

Note: My wife, I and our Golden Retriever (Ruby) live in the barn-dominium located about 75 yards from the main home. If you need something, we are there to help, otherwise we will leave you to enjoy your stay.

What a great surprise location

This was an excellent location for a retreat. It was expansive with plenty of places to gather and to be alone. There were plenty of large bedrooms and private bathrooms. The kitchen was perfect for group meal preparation. The game room was a fun space to turn off the work and enjoy some recreation.

The HideAway is simply incredible. The property is so spacious & private. The kitchen is very well appointed and has just about everything you could ever need. The bedrooms are big, clean & comfortable. There are many different areas where you can just hang out and relax. I highly recommend this property, and would definitely love to come back when the weather is warmer, to utilize the pool and spa.

Family Vacation

This was our second time renting this property and we will keep doing so as long as it's available. It's the perfect house for family gatherings. We are from NY and have family in the Placerville area so staying at this house is convenient for everyone to gather at. The house has everything you need and more. The pool is the perfect place to hang during the day and the enormous kitchen is the place to hang at night. There is so much space and the game room is the perfect way to end a day. We'll be back in a couple of years!!

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Dean - 408.460.5965

Host profile image
30+ years in Silicon Valley in many different roles with a number of patents. Nearly 20 years as an elected official on both a High School Board and City Council. My wife is my best friend and we have 4 beautiful children together along with a late addition to our family who are all doing wonderfully. One lawyer, one nurse, one firefighter, one property manager, and one child development expert! We bought this place as our retirement shangri-la.

Why they chose this property

Simply an awesome, private, beautiful setting and home that is perfect for large family gatherings and reunions or maybe a weekend getaway with 4-6 couples sharing wine tasting and fine dining. We named it "theHideAway" because it is the complete escape from everyday busy life. It would also be excellent for a weekend executive team retreat with the spouses and significant others exploring the local wineries and breweries. Historic Jackson and Hangtown are nearby along with Colma and the wine country.

What makes this property unique

Pool - Beautiful pool with a built-in waterslide and spa.
Game Room!! - Huge game room with a pool table, card table(s), foosball table, air hockey, a treadmill, dumbbells, and a weight machine.
Privacy Galore! - None of the bedrooms share walls with adjacent bedrooms. They all have at least 3 walls separating them from the neighboring bedrooms. Two downstairs master suites and the 4 bedrooms upstairs share jack and jill bathrooms.
80 Acres of privacy.
