When I arrived at Walker's Cabin it was already dark outside. The owner's had arranged to have the lights on my stay started and continued for the next few days without a hitch. The place was immaculate with everything I would need or want. Instructions were well thoughtout and easy to follow when needed. I hope to return again and again over the years enjoying every season. I would not hesitate to recommend this location for folks in need of a retreat. Thank you.

Clean and comfortable, enormous amount of private space. Nice very large hot tub with view. Owner responsive, but not intrusive. Dog owners beware: this is heartworm country. After I returned, got my dogs tested, and gave them heartguard. I would have preferred it without the deer head mounted in the living room, but overall it's a very nice private retreat in the hills.

LOVELY GOLD COUNTRY TREASURE - SUPER KID FRIENDLY!

Walker's Cabin is a lovely retreat for anyone. Although it boasts the luxuries of modern life, there is so much else to do, we never touched the television remote. The property is expansive, but fairly flat for easy accessibility. My 1 1/2 year old son had a blast running the country road to the pond, and the extra perk of small children's play area with a sandbox was a hidden surprise! This home is decorated country cute and is homey with its fountains and fireplace. We enjoyed tooting around all day on site, and then watched the star filled sky from the hottub at night. I would definitely visit again; truly an amazing treasure in the foothills. The owners were also very easy to deal with and respectful of our privacy.
Owner response:Thank you! We appreciate your business.

Secluded, charming cabin

This cabin is very clean and charming. It is very secluded. We stayed here for 2 nights and never saw another vehicle or human. We did however see a lot of wildlife. We saw deer, quail, wild turkeys, many birds and frogs. It's a perfect place to get away from it, but still be connected ( we had cell service ). We enjoyed the farm trails. We had a lovely dinner on the patio ( the weather could not have been more perfect) and star gazed as night fell. We look forward to a winter stay.

Amazing Escape

What a treat!!! The grounds are just amazing. Tons of hiking trails, Wonderful BBQ area by the pond, and a beautiful cabin. I highly recommend this place to all who want to escape and try something different. The dirt road was a little tricky for a low car, but what a jewel at the end of the road. The cabin had everything you need plus more!!!! We went whitewater rafting and it only took 15 min to Lotus. Valeri provides you with all kinds of information to make your stay a fabulous one!
Owner response:Thank you Lauren for your kind words of praise. Good News the road is now paved!!!! Bring your low car back and be amazed at how nice it is.

We stayed at Walker's Cabin in the middle of the winter during a heat wave! It was beautiful and serene. During the time we were there, we had business to take care of in the area, but this place is absolutely ideal for those who can simply get away and enjoy the surrounding 100 acres. There are incredible trails for walking and horse back riding, as well as mountain biking. What fun that would be! The cabin is comfortable, cozy, and comes with a fully equipped -- all the amenities! And Valeri is so helpful! We'd like to return some day when we can just "while away the hours"! I wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Honeymoon weekend October 2010

We give Walker's Cabin our 100% thumbs up - for comfort, unsurpassed beauty, amenities, cleanliness and charm. The photo's don't do it justice. We enjoyed vistas of oak covered hillsides, and in the morning, deer and songbirds which greeted us on the porch. The furnishings and decor inside are elegant and all new. The seclusion was perfect - the 15 minute drive to local shops and dining was no problem for us. We also felt special to be staying on such a historic site - old mines are laced along the well marked trails which we shared with wild turkeys and quail who ran through the brush. Amazing!
Owner response:Mr. & Mrs. M came back and enjoyed there 1 year anniversary here as well! Thank you for making Walker's Cabin your tradition!

My husband and I took my daughter and her boyfriend river rafting on the South Fork of the American River. We stay for one night at Walker's cabin, it was like getting away for days. The environments & views from the decks and the ponds were so relaxing and inviting. We brought food to prepare for dinner and breakfast which turned out to be a great idea because we did not want to leave! The layout of the cabin is perfect, you can cook, grill and play a game on the dining room table at the same time. We hung out by the pond after a walk on the property for happy hr and apps before sunset. We watched the sunset from the cabin deck while eating dinner. Then we took hot tubs before going to bed. We woke up and went for an hour walk on the property. The trails are fantastic! Don't miss the story about the Walker's, good background history for the area. The mix of nature, birds and wildlife with the way the cabin is equipped makes for a perfect stay. We'll be back, but next time for a few days! Loved it!

Wonderful, Private and Serene Getaway

Although this was a last minute getaway for our family of 4, the accomodations were 1st class. We were pleasantly surprised by the attention paid to the details of not only the cabin (which is more like an upscale smaller house with outdoor hot tub--not a typical cabin), but also the elaborate pond/lake with all kinds of play toys for the family--paddle boat, fire pit, grill area, ping pong table, outdoor shower (one at the pond and another upscale one at the cabin). What an awesome place to be! We also went River Rafting on the American River and if you are interested in doing this--make sure to ask Valeri--she can get you 20% off with RiverRunners---Thanks Valeri (&Rand) for making our last vacation before schools starts a fabulous one!

This is THE perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. We saw wildlife everywhere, including baby turkeys on one hike and baby (blue?) birds in the deck birdhouse (luckily no rattlesnakes!). Hosts were great - attentive but not overbearing. The pond area was the perfect place to spend a summer day swimming, boating, lying on the sand. Gorgeous views everywhere. Read books, hiked, BBQ'd, soaked in jacuzzi, relaxed, relaxed, relaxed!! SERENE, PEACEFUL, GORGEOUS! Highly recommended. We can't wait to return!
