Cozy cabin perfect for one or two guests. Located in tranquil setting, close to shops and restaurants. Stay cozy with the wood stove and the soft glow of oil lamp. Rocking chairs on the porch overlooking the river and serene surroundings. Stone step path to private creek: take a leisurely stroll down for a moment of tranquility. WiFi available: stay connected if you wish to, although I encourage disconnecting to fully immerse yourself in nature. Barbecue grill available for your use. Bathroom with hot shower. Nearby hiking trails moments away. Close to historic Placerville and Diamond Springs. Experience a peaceful getaway at our secluded cabin. Perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking a break from the everyday. If you plan to bbq you’ll need to bring your own implements and kindling or charcoal.

Trailer Camping for the Win!
Greg, the host, was very easily accessible through the app. He was fast to respond and had easy to follow directions. He did not meet me at the trailer but walked me through all the steps to make the trailer work for me. The trailer is located on the side of a small hill over looking the creek, with the road into town located right behind it. There are many homes right next door to the camper but everyone was very quiet and nice. The front of the trailer does face a hill with pine trees so it does feel slightly removed from civilization. The trailer is not well stocked in kitchen goodies such as plates, sharp knives, cutting board, measuring utensils but does have a fridge with a freezer, stove and a toaster oven, and good water for drinking. It has a comfortable bed with two blankets, clean bathroom that is well stocked with shampoo and conditioner and soap. Very easy to get into town and Apple Hill is super close. Overall a good experience.

The little cabin was so cute and comfy! I absolutely loved it. The creek was so peaceful and the accessible firewood was a definite plus! If you’re okay with a minimalistic stay, this place is perfect!

This is an adorable cabin! It feels like the kind of place writers go to get inspired. Surrounded by trees, it sits right above the river, so you get white noise all the time! It's an incredibly relaxing place, and a perfect cozy getaway. At night, it's very quiet and peaceful. I definitely recommend staying here!

Pass
I was unable to spend the night due to safety. The listing leaves a lot of information out so I will assist. It is off a main road, lots of traffic, could not hear the creek. It is at the end of a driveway that services what looks to be 3 multifamily residences, not peaceful. The only window in the cabin would not open and I did not want to spend the night in a strange place with the door wide open. It was 96 degrees inside so sleeping without any sort of air movement was not an option. The cabin is a shed. The inside it is taken up by lots of antique furniture and decor, there is no room to walk. Huge wood burning stove takes up space. The toilet/shower/sink combo is very small, you have to use the toilet with your knees apart to fit. Water from the shower will drain out the door, you'll have to step in mud when leaving the shower. Nowhere to put the toilet paper or towel when showering. The cabin had not been dusted, swept or cleaned for a very long time. Previous occupant's trash was present behind furniture. Spiders and webs everywhere, be sure to remove the ones by your head before you sleep. The sleeping mat had food crumbs and dog hair all over it. No oil in the one usable lamp, broken glass shade, balancing dangerously inches from the door at head level. No matches. The little grill balances on broken pieces of what was a chiminea? Many of the steps going down to the creek are unstable and wobble.
