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.

Host Triple Booked Site
Host triple booked his amenities and upset the Labor Day weekend of about 8 people. I confirmed the morning of my stay that I was making my way to the cabin, and that didn't trigger his mind to check whether it was available. Drove 2h expecting a relaxing getaway just to get there and turn around. Otherwise, the host also has a camper directly adjacent to the cabin, and whoever is staying there may spill over into your site- so its important that your neighbors are good company as they may affect your stay. Would not be going back since the host is not experienced in managing rentals.

Initially drive in was disappointing because the site is surrounded by houses; however, after settling in and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL creek, it’s worth a trip. Greg was very responsive to our questions and concerns. We also stayed one night in the cabin and morning coffee on the deck was amazing.

The tiny cabin was great and exactly what we were looking for. We loved the gas lamps and the wood burning fireplace. Falling asleep to the sound of the running creek was perfect. We loved cooking dinner and then sitting around the fire pit. We definitely enjoyed our time here.

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Our stay at the cabin was absolutely delightful! Tucked away in a woodland setting, it offered the perfect escape from city life. The highlight for us was undoubtedly the private creek right in front of the cabin. The soothing sound of running water and the peaceful atmosphere made our mornings and evenings incredibly relaxing. We were thrilled to find that the cabin was pet-friendly, as we brought our two dogs along. They had a blast playing in the creek. The location was ideal for nature lovers like us, with opportunities for hiking and wildlife spotting nearby. The host Greg was friendly and accommodating, ensuring that our stay was pleasant from start to finish. Overall, our experience at the cabin was fantastic, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in nature. We can't wait to return!
