We had a wonderful stay at Coloma Cottages by the river. The cottages are clean, cozy, and…read morewell-equipped, with the option to rent a cottage or pitch a tent depending on your preference. The property is peaceful and less crowded than nearby campgrounds, making it ideal for relaxing by the river. It's also within walking distance of the charming town of Coloma, and we would definitely return for another getaway.

The gorgeous design and attention to detail with the structures design and both interior and exterior design, are breathtaking. The infinity pool with stunning views is like we have never seen before, and the sunset over the valley as seen from the front of the home, is magnificent. We highly recommend staying with them or hosting your event at their beautiful home.

To simply describe our stay at Casa Bella Verde, IT WAS MAGICAL. We live in San Francisco so having…read morethe luxury of just gazing out into the middle of nowhere with complete silence doesn't exist. Our son was turning one month and that is exactly what we were looking for, a couple of days away from the busy city life. We didn't want noises of cars driving by, people roaming the streets and having conversations outside of your bedroom window. I came across this place while surfing airbnb and we couldn't have been any happier that we found it. Briana was a great host! She gave me a call within a few hours of me booking the place online. She advised me that it would be smart to have all of my grocery shopping done prior to arriving at Casa Bella Verde as there are no stores in the immediate area and she also advised me of the unpaved road that is leading up to the house when you turn off the main road. Having the knowledge of these things was very helpful. The "guest house" that you stay in has everything that you might need to have a weekend (or even longer) of relaxation. The guest house is very modern with the amenities one might need and not need. We were particularly fans of the jacuzzi hot tub which is big enough to fit 4 adults. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the deck which has some amazing views. As a host, we couldn't have asked for a better one. When we got there she did a walk through with us to explain to us on how all of the gadgets work (everything is very high tech.) The fridge was stocked with eggs, some english muffins, and orange juice. As we were making dinner we realized we forgot olive oil and balsamic, I had asked Briana is she by chance had any and without a doubt she did. Within a couple of minutes of me asking I was able to walk over to the main house and there was what we had asked for on the kitchen counter. Thank you for everything Briana and I look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

I booked the cottage because of the beautiful website tour and for a nice little getaway during…read moreChristmas. Nikki was very sweet on the phone and my family was very excited about our 5 day stay on the American River. When we arrived the first thing we noticed was the river is about a 100 yards downhill from the cottage. I was a little dissappointed about that. The next thing that we noticed was that the cemetary is about 6 feet from the master bedroom window... we knew about the cemetary, but didn't realize that this was the view from the master bedroom. One thing that I didn't take note of, was the fact that there is no T.V. upstairs or internet access. While there is a T.V. downstairs, it just plays vcr and dvd's. The downstairs is also almost impossible to heat without getting the upstairs too hot. The t.v. room does have a small stove type electric heater, but it doesn't heat the lower bedroom at all. My daughter and grandson had to sleep on the futon so they would not freeze all night. My guess is that the downstairs will stay nice and cool in the summer months. Now the best part... there is a rooster right below the master bedroom and it starts to crow way before sunrise. Usually it starts up at 5:00 a.m. and crows until 7:00 a.m., this was very disturbing and we all hated it. The chickens are cute, but the rooster should be moved from this relaxing vacation rental. The property is very pretty and the river is also very pretty. We were told about the bakery/coffee shop down the road, but when we got there, it had a sign "closed until January 4th". This cabin would be great if all you want to do is read books and relax in the winter months. I would probably be back in the summer when there is actually something to do.

This is my third time staying at the River Rock Cottage. We continue to return because it suits…read moreour families perfectly. We have stayed twice in the winter and once in the summer. It is very well maintained, and is comfortable, with everything you will need to relax. The cottage is very clean and Nikki is a great hostess. The kitchen is fully stocked with all appliances and dishes you will need, and there are plenty of extra blankets to keep you comfortable. Outside, the kids had great fun roaming the property and playing by the river. They also enjoyed the chickens and duck, which Nikki even let them feed. This is a beautiful place to relax and have some quiet family time without the noise of the city. I greatly enjoy that there is only a TV downstairs, because we wanted a quiet environment, free of electronics when we vacation. I highly recommend this cottage, and we plan to return at least annually!

We were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway close to Sacramento, and Coloma Resort was exactly…read morewhat we had in mind. It's only about an hour away and just a short drive from Placerville, making it an easy escape into nature. We stayed in South Fork Cabin J, one of the resort's select pet-friendly cabins, and absolutely loved it. It was the perfect blend of camping and glamping with a fully equipped kitchenette including a stovetop, microwave, sink, toaster, dishes, and utensils, plus a private bathroom with a shower, two A/C units, and a spacious living area to relax after a day outside. My Goldendoodle, Bailey, had the best time exploring the property and curiously checking out the river. We loved relaxing in the Adirondack chairs along the water, and there was plenty of open green space along with giant chess, Connect Four, and cornhole. I also appreciated the multiple dog waste stations conveniently located throughout the resort. Check-in was incredibly easy since we arrived after 5 p.m. Our paperwork was waiting on the corkboard at the front gate, and we received our gate code by email the day before arrival. The staff were wonderful, especially Joey, the Reservations Manager, who took the time to recommend local activities, resort amenities, and nearby historical sites. The resort also has beautiful riverfront cabins and campsites, a cute camp store stocked with souvenirs, firewood, and forgotten essentials, plus a unique one-year rebooking policy that lets you reserve the same accommodation for the following year if you fall in love with your stay. We also highly recommend grabbing a coffee and a bite to eat at Argonaut Café. Overall, Coloma Resort is a beautiful, peaceful destination whether you're looking to camp, stay in a cozy cabin, or enjoy a dog-friendly weekend in nature. We can't wait to come back!

Stayed here for 3 nights, and unfortunately the experience was frustrating due to the lack of staff…read moreavailability. I went to the front desk four separate times during normal business hours and never once found it open. I had a time-sensitive question and was unable to get help, and calls to the front desk also went unanswered. On our last day, we needed assistance locating the dump station. When we went to the front office, there was still no one available. We also encountered other guests actively searching for staff and unable to find anyone, which makes it clear this isn't an isolated issue. The lack of basic amenities was also disappointing--there is no WiFi or laundry on-site. While the location is beautiful, it seems to be the main reason this place stays in business, as the customer service and amenities do not meet expectations. The bathrooms were acceptable, but the shower pressure was extremely low, which made it difficult to use--especially for anyone with thick or textured hair.

None of the…read morethings that apparently happened to the negative reviewer happened to my 12 year old daughter, her 70 year old grandmother and I when we stayed there in June of 2013. The cabin was pristene. My mother in law is a stickler for cleanliness (like way, way overboard) and I was nervous about this but she was delighted with the accommodations. The hot tub was crystal clear when we arrived (by the way, I am pool and spa certified, nationally, and you never change the water between uses or guests... that is ridiculous. That is what chlorine, bromine and filtration systems are for. The grounds were so secluded and private, we never saw another soul (except for the horses on the adjacent pasture and a few deer). There simply wasn't a single thing lacking. The owner called us once, just after we arrived, to ask if there was anything we had wished was provided or that we forgot to bring, and to wish us a happy stay (as well as for my daughter to come up and feed the horses if she would like). We never heard from her again. The price was unbelievable for what you get. Like, I thought there must be some mistake. And deposit/cleaning was simply not an issue. I do tend to pride myself on tidying up any place I stay on vacation, as I myself have occupied the thankless (and well under-tipped) profession of cleaning up after people who wrongly believe that they can make as big a mess as they want simply because 'someone else is paid to do that'. Someone else is paid to scrub the toilet and wash the floor, strip, wash and replace the linens and wipe away all traces of your visit. They are not expecting to heavily scrub after a careless trail of filth. I've never had a deposit withheld. Perhaps it's a good rule of thumb to tidy up after yourself. I loved Walker's Cabin - so much that a conversation more than three years after my stay with a couple gal friends prompted me to look it up and see if it is still available for rent. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat - and for me, that includes round-trip flights from Seattle and a decent drive in a rental car. Absolutely worth it.

We stayed in the Bella Vista honeymoon suite. I loved it. It allowed my husband and I to talk. There's a calming and clarifying vibe to the room and the place in general.
