The owner of property was one of the most accommodating hosts we’ve ever had! Living area and dining room furniture seemed new and was very comfortable. They did have all amenities and plenty of keurig coffee. Kitchen was not very clean and I know owner was unhappy about that and asked management company to refund some money. Take your own cleaning supplies if you are picky like me. Overall we enjoyed our stay!Location is great—very close to all the gold country spots to see.
Our stay was absolutely enjoyable. The house was clean, comfortable spacious, and the outdoor deck had the most beautiful view. The host was very quick to respond and communicative when we have questions. Highly recommended would stay here again.
We had a long weekend in the Gold COUnrty around Sonora, CA. Sonora Hideway was perfectly located between historic Columbia and downtown Sonora. Roomy, clean, well appointed and very kid friendly.

Terrific house in Sonora
We enjoyed our stay very much. Lovely home. Had everything we needed. Very comfortable.
Close to downtown Sonora, easy drive to Bear Creek and Strawberry for snow fun. Beds were comfortable and Kitchen was well appointed. There were a few minor issues but the host more than made up for the minor inconvenience.
We had a wonderful weekend. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and in a peaceful location. We loved the outdoor sitting area with the view of the valley and appreciated that the house was kid-friendly and dog-friendly.
The house was well equipped with amenities and was quite comfortable. A lot of extra bonuses were found in the garage (play time!). An extra bonus ....close to Sonora businesses and restaurants. We'll definitely keep this spot in mind when we revisit the area.

Beautiful Stay
This was an amazing property. It was easy to get in and out of. The views were phenomenal. It was clean and well kept up. It was about ten minutes to Columbia and Sonora. The neighborhood was quiet with lots of animals. We had no trouble fitting 10 people. We would absolutely go back again.
Our family had a wonderful stay. The home was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything you could need. We were a short 10 min drive from the places we planned to visit, and when our daytime adventures were done, we enjoyed playing games and watching the views from the expansive living/dining space. Thanks for making your home available. We'll be back!

Great for families
It was a great experience for our three families. The house had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. There were plenty of plates, utensils, and cookware. The house was very kid friendly and even had a set of dishes just for young kids. We loved the great views and the expansive upper deck. The owners were very pleasant and responded to my questions right away.
5 star stay - nice, clean and roomy with fantastic virws
Usually with houses for vacation rental it’s a hit or miss with not everything turning out as expected. This place was exceptional and an exception to that. We were 11 people from ages 17 to 60 and a small dog. And everyone had a fun and relaxing experience to remember. The basics(heat, working shower/toilet, kitchen, entertainment options etc.) were perfect. The rooms were great and were stocked with extra towels, linens for everyone. Separate levels meant all the kids could hang out separately from the adults. The sunrise/sunset views were on a whole different level. We were even visited by deers on the last day of the journey. I’d definitely come back to this place.
This is a lovely property on a peaceful and quiet street surrounded by trees and a garden. The home was big enough to accommodate everyone in our family and our little dogs loved it, too. Beds were clean and comfortable; we loved the big soft pillows. The open living/dining area allowed us to all hang out and play our trivia games. The sunset on the back porch was breathtaking; porch patio set was clean and comfortable. The house was bright, clean, and welcoming. The garage had a standard J1772 EV charger which was an added bonus; we were able to charge all three of our EVs with no issue.
The hosts were very helpful, communicative, and handled everything well. They were quick to respond to questions
The only issue we had was the water temperature at the kitchen sink - one small turn of the lever to the right produced extremely hot water. This was a minor blip compared to how much fun/relaxation we had at this location. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
