Massive, beautiful Sierra foothills property. The house's large, open floor plan made our gathering fun and communal. There's plenty to do nearby, but except for a few errands, we decided to stay on-site the whole time. Highly recommend!

Great secluded stay

3 households- 3 generations of family had enough room to spread out, really enjoyed the pool area and seating. House is close the lake, and had ample amenities for the long weekend. Wish we had some sort of garage access for unloading boat toys, coolers, etc.

Fantastic experience with Jessica who was so communicative and helpful. The property is lovely and is spacious enough to accommodate 12 people without feeling like we’re on top of each other. The open concept living space is great! Location to town and Dodge Ridge is convenient.

Best family vacation near Lake Melones

We had a fabulous time getting all 4 of our children and their plus ones together. Ages 20-36. There was enough space to not feel at all crowded and everyone loved cooking together in the amazing kitchen. Played lots of games, Bocce ball, played pool and played in the pool. The stars were amazing at night from the hot tub!!

Friends and family getaway

Our “village” had a wonderful time together at this special house. We’ve never been to Sonora and was a little worried we wouldn’t enjoy it but everyone from age 4 to 54 enjoyed it so much. The house alone had a lot to offer (pool table, swimming, acres to walk around) but it’s also so close to new melones lake where we rented a party pontoon and had a great time on the water. Jessica and her husband were very gracious and hospitable. Communication was great and they are flexible in accommodating our group. We would rent again!

Great Getaway

We were looking for a place to wind down and just hang out. This property was perfect! Isolated, yet 7 min drive to stores. We needed the space and and there was enough. The 4 bedrooms were neat and clean. The bathrooms and kitchen too were up to the mark. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, coffee and tea. The bathroom essentials like soap and shampoo were all available. We did not have to call Jessica once we checked in. If you need to step outside, you can take a nice long walk within the property itself!! Seating can be improved. (The bar stools need to be higher), an additional sofa if you are a large party would be nice.

A wonderful place inside and out

This house was the perfect setting for a bachelorette weekend - ideally located on top of a hill overlooking the property, 360 degree views and and a sun filled, private back patio with hot tub and pool. Even though it was April and pool was too cold too swim, it turned out to be perfect for a quick cold plunge or to hang out on floaties. The inside of the house is spacious with an enormous and well stocked kitchen open to the living room. The bedrooms are large with excellent mattresses and quality linens. With two additional air mattresses provided by the house, twelve adults were able to fit comfortably. Jessica, the owner of the property, was extremely helpful and accommodating, even offering to bring us donuts for breakfast. All in all a well deserved five star rating.

Perfect home for groups!

Jessica was such a great host and communicated often and promptly with us before and during the booking process! She checked-in to make sure we had all we needed. This home is perfect for a big group, there is more than enough space for everyone. The pool, hottub, fire pit, boche ball, etc was definitely a good perk! The home is secluded enough to really feel like you're on vacation, but not too far from town/stores in case you need anything. We did get visits from the ranch cat! Overall, it was a fantastic stay and would definitely stay here again.

Super responsive and professional!

Jessica and Brandon were super responsive. We had concerns with the wildfires, but they eased our fears with pictures and open communication. When at their home, they addressed all our questions promptly and were very proactive. Jessica noticed an air mattress leaking air, and she had an air mattress replaced and delivered to us shortly thereafter. The pool was a hit with our group. With temps 97-99', the pool was refreshing and the hot tub was very comfortable. All the kids had fun every day of our stay. Night swims were a great place for the parents to unwind and have some peace away from the kids. The bbq helped keep us all fed. We brought our own standard propane tank and hooked right up to the bbq. The massive kitchen was a place for us to get our grub and start our days. We unfortunately had an accident and Jessica and Brandon helped us through the aftermath. It's never fun to have problems on vacation, but Jessica's empathy, Brandon's help, and both of their communication helped minimize disruption to our trip. The ranch cat was certainly a daily visitor. She's very friendly, but we had a couple people who have cat allergies, so we had to spray the cat with water which was effective at keeping her away. Would have loved to get out and enjoy more of the massive property more. Boys had fun playing catch as we brought baseball gloves and mitts. Played bocce ball in the front yard and the kids had a blast. We visited the Moaning Caverns nearby and descending 165 ft into the Earth was certainly a unique experience for the kids. Will need to make plans to return and explore more of the area, including Yosemite. Thanks Jessica and Brandon for a wonderful stay!
