Location: Coloma, Gold Country & High Sierra, California, USA (Off Highway 49 near Marshall Gold Discovery State Park) View Map

Accommodations:  House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 10)

This perfectly located retreat sits on two acres of beautiful gold country land and river; ideally nestled on the South Fork of the American River at Highway 49. Offers your own private beach, fishing holes, gold panning, and wildlife viewing. Very spacious (1800 square feet) and lots of windows/views.

After a day of river rafting/kayaking, wine-tasting (three miles down the road is our family's winery, Venezio Vineyards & Winery), or fish in our river, fire up the BBQ outside while watching the kids explore for gold or lounge in the hammock while reading a good book. The kitchen is fully loaded with appliances and there is a pub table in the dining room that seats eight people with an additional kitchen bar with stools.

After dinner, cozy up to the fireplace in the family room in one of the overstuffed couches (they do suck the life out of you) with a glass of wine and gaze at the beautiful view of the river or play a round of poker in the rompus room while the kids play one of the many games available.

Take a bath in the jetted tub and retire into one of the newly furnished guest rooms for one of the most peaceful night's sleep this side of the West. There is one king bedded room; one room offers two queen beds; the other room offers a bunk bed (two twins) and a full bed. For those guests that don't mind sleeping on the couch, we offer three comfy couches, along with a great place to camp outside that overlooks the river. There are two showers and two bath tubs. Towels/linens are available.

Pet Friendly: $25 per night; per pet and $500 refundable security deposit.

  • Our group of ten stayed at this lovely house last summer to attend a wedding nearby and to raft down the the river. I feel compelled to write such as late response as now I am using the vrbo service to spend time in the Big Island this fall and appreciate comments by others. This place is hands down better than any motel you could rent nearby. Very clean and well maintained. The owners were true to their word too. Thank you! The only complaint was that 2 of the stove burners were not working properly. I can live with that. Great air conditioning. You might need that in the summer here. We launched our raft on the river across the street for a fantastic adventure down the American River. Consider wearing protective head gear when going down and cinch up that life vest. A friend of ours was a previous guide on the river and led us down. Do not go down without trained and experienced guides. We would highly recommend this place and would like to revisit. Sincerely, Kevin
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks, Kevin! You would be happy to know that since your visit, we have remodeled the entire kitchen and now it's spectacular with a NEW stove that works entirely. Visit again! Carrie (owner)

  • We were looking for an alternative to a hotel or lodge while traveling to Coloma for a wedding, boy did we find it! You have such a beautiful home and location, with a short distance to Venezio Winery where the wedding/reception took place. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxed environment to celebrate with family and friends on such a special occasion. We can't wait to come back and enjoy the area again and again.

  • We had a lovely experience at your home. We were looking for something more rustic than Napa yet with all the creature comforts we are interested in, it was a great fit. Your home is lovely and would like return this summer for a little R&R and enjoy the river when it is a bit warmer. Thank you for being so easy to work with.

  • This house is wonderful, full of all the amentities that you could possibly need. It is very warm and cozy and has a feel of home for sure. If you want to read a good book curled up on the couch next to the fire, this is the most relaxing place to do so. During the summer there is always activity going on in Coloma or just sit by the river and relax and wave to the people kayacking or rafting down the river. This place is a great house to escape the city life or whatever you may be wanting to take a break from.

  • As a Bay Area resident, I was looking for a nice get-away not far from home, but which would give me a sense of space and serenity. My wife and I shared the house with a group of close friends and had a fantastic time! We spent our days along the river and our nights either cooking and celebrating at the house, or at the nearby Sierra Club restaurant and bar. There was lots to do in the area, though we ended up spending most of our time near the house. The fishing was great (though the catching was tough!)

  • This rental was perfect for our family because of its proximity to the river. We love to whitewater kayak and raft. You can literally walk down to the river and put it. Such a great location. The Sierra Nevada restruant and Sierra rising bakery/coffee shop are also walking distance for some great food and atmosphere if you want to mingle with locals. We will be returning soon. Thanks so much Frank

  • This place is amazing. It is so comfortable and relaxing. The river is beautiful! You can relax on the banks while just a minute from home. Great location too. We had such a great vacation and thanks so much for making such a beautiful home for us to enjoy. We will come back again for sure. Thanks again!

  • This is a very beautiful, serene and well kept house. If you are looking for a getaway from the city or your suburb, this is perfect. My family and I really needed a place to relax and regroup. The smell in the air, tranquil river, great walks, beautifully decorated rooms and hand crafted stone fire place. It's fantastic. We had a really wondeful time and can't wait to go back to relax some more. Thank you!
