Another great stay at Happy Hollow, i've been coming here for the past several years for much needed reset and relaxation and this place never disappoints. The home is well set up with everything you need and is always spotless. The large large is like having your own park that my daughter and her dog absolutely love playing in. There are plenty of great restaurants in easy walking distance including sushi, pizza, burgers and an ice cream shop that we always enjoy. Our next stay is already booked, thanks Janet for being such a great host.

The house (home) provided the perfect getaway for the four of us, a sister vacation. We loved that downtown was just a short walk away and both Calaveras Big Trees and Lake Alpine just down the Highway. The host’s attention to detail was a huge plus. From a very well stocked kitchen to a plethora of indoor and outdoor games to chocolates waiting beside our beds, all of the small details that make for a comfortable stay were masterfully crafted. It was a wonderfully memorable holiday made so by an exceptional place to stay! Thanks to Janet for sharing her home with us!!
