We had a great stay at Kyle’s cabin. It was exactly as advertised and Kyle was very responsive to our questions and needs. The area and river was beautiful and we’d book another future stay.

This would have been our second time at this cabin, but we did not get to go there because we were notified at the last moment that there was some sort of a leak at the sliding glass door and the host cancelled it. I had my girlfriend flying to me for this trip and it totally ruined our plans. I got a full refund, but she lost money when she cancelled her flight. Otherwise, the host has been pretty good.

Amazing Private Cabin RIGHT on the River!

Loved this cabin! We used the Traeger grill, the hot tub, walked along the River and ate meals outside on the deck. Would definitely go back again!

Cabin is in a great location, right next to the American River. Can clearly hear and enjoy the sounds of the river. Cabin is very clean. Excellent internet connection. Check-in process is quick and easy. Host is quick to respond to inquiries and works at keeping lines of communication open.

Perfect Getaway!

This property was just what I was looking for. Tucked away by the river, the home was modern, clean and comfortable. I enjoyed coffee/wine on the deck watching the water. It was close to plenty of hiking and recreational opportunities. Would definitely stay here again next time.

Relaxing week

We wanted to relax for a week after travelling around California and that is exactly what we got. It’s a lovely cabin in a great location with fantastic river views. If you want to relax and read a book with a glass of wine while the river flows past the porch this is the place to be. Fantastic.

Great cabin by the river

Stayed with our family of 3 and had a great stay. The cabin is clean and comfortable with cozy blankets and furnishings. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner. The property is close to highway 50, but the river almost completely masked road noise. There's a fire road along the river to walk along. Overall great, and I would stay again!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was in a beautiful location close to the river, and we appreciated being surrounded by nature. Overall, we had a lovely time, but there were a few things that affected our experience and kept us from giving it five stars.- The sound of the river did not cover the traffic noise from the road. We could hear traffic all the day and night. - We eat healthy but the kitchen the pans appeared err Teflon and were scratched, so we did not feel comfortable using them. We ended up using the stainless-steel pot we brought with us for almost everything.-The stove and oven also produced a strong gas smell each time we cooked. The disposable lighter was very hard to work with, so a rechargeable lighter would be a sustainable improvement.- The fan above the stove was quite unclean and had a strong unpleasant smell. Because of this, it was difficult to ventilate the kitchen and get rid of the gas smell.- The oven itself also smelled strongly of gas, almost as if gas were leaking. A more efficient / electric stove would be a better environmentally sound option. - the products such as dish detergent, dish washer plastic lined detergent , cleaning products, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner were not eco friendly and not purchased from conscious companies. We’re happy we brought our own sheets and towels and soup. We left zero garbage behind and did not use their plastic garbage bag.

Restful Cozy River Cabin

We loved the Cabin. It was just as it looked online. I didn’t feel the need to clean anything before I settled in. It was well stocked and very comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding luxurious. We spent all our time at the cabin outside on the deck. The amazing view of the river was all we needed!

Riverside sanctuary

I spent a Sunday -Tuesday with my father and brother at Kyle’s riverside sanctuary. It was and is the perfect place to spend time with family. The sound of the river is a perfect background for a fun and meaningful time with those you love. Give it a shot. You won’t regret it. Ben B

Beautiful Setting

Nestled amongst the trees and overlooking the river, the Cozy Cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway! It was extremely spacious and well-equipped with everything we needed to feel right at home. Communication with Kyle was outstanding, with a very quick response time. Although traffic noise could be heard outside during peak periods, the large back deck was still perfect for outdoor dining and just relaxing. Located only 15 minutes from Placerville and 45 minutes from South Lake Tahoe, it was a very convenient home base for our day trips. I would highly recommend Kyle's Cozy Cabin!

Great Location

My husband and I had a very peaceful stay at the cozy cabin overlooking the American River, which is quite beautiful. Even though we were there in July, everything was so green with wild flowers! We cooked during our stay, and found the kitchen limited in some conveniences. The microwave is fantastic however! There are stairs to the bedroom loft, which may be tricky if you have mobility issues.The cabin itself is beautifully lanscaped and decorated on the interior. Overall, I highly recommend the cozy cabin if you're looking for a quiet getaway!

Pure Heaven

My husband and I were speechless. From when we checked in at night on a night that was snowing to the next 4 days we could not believe our senses. The cabin and it's mother nature surroundings were beyond words. Pure one with nature. The Owner Kyle was also so helpful and communicative when it came to questions or reminders. This experience was something all people need. We will definitely be back again and again. Thank you Kyle for making our honeymoon something we will never forget.

Amazing experience

Let me begin that the cabin was spotless clean when we arrived! Everything is set up very nicely, the kitchen is well equipped with anything you might possibly need as well is a nice grill on the property. Atmosphere inside the cabin is very homey and romantic, perfect for a getaway from the world while staying close to the city. There is a wood fire place which makes the atmosphere even better, as well as fire wood provided and some stacked inside by the fire place for immediate usage. Nice TV and good speed internet. Silly thing but they even have make up removing wipes as a part of the bathroom hygiene supplies. The hot tub with river view is totally amazing, super relaxing. Nice deck and balcony with amazing views. Heater works very well to keep you warm there is also a generator to keep the power running during winter outages. Even during snowy winter, it is nice to take a walk and explore the river by the cabin. Kyle, the host, was nice, very responsive and answered every question we had. He also provided his phone number in case of any urgent questions. Cabin has a full manual on all things, which is very nice. Overall our experience was a 10/10, would totally come back here again and recommend it to all :)
