Excellent place to stay that is very close to rafting and chilling at the American River and adorable downtown Placerville/Hangtown. Two great sized rooms, pool, and fabulous lounging areas. Great attention to detail and all the amenities you will need. We will definitely try to go back.

Wedding stay in Pacer6

This was a peaceful retreat from all the wedding events! We had everything we needed, including a late night swim to relax after the wedding. It is so close to town but it feels like a true get away from everything!

Serene Accommodations

The accommodations were very cozy, quiet and serene. The House had a beautiful deck overlooking forested area by the creek below. The house was very, very clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. It was really neat seeing deer, goats and wild turkeys near the property.
