Darling perfect house near downtown Sonora. Walking distance to all the fun things downtown and also groceries. My kids and I came for a nostalgic getaway since I spent all my childhood summers in Tuolumne. We had a lovely time. The house is very nicely furnished, WiFi and private backyard. Charming in every way.

Thank you so much for your kind words Kat — it truly means a lot! I'm so touched that you chose our home for such a special nostalgic getaway with your kids. Knowing that it brought back memories of your childhood summers in Tuolumne is incredibly meaningful. I’m so glad the house felt like a charming and comfortable home base for your trip — and that you enjoyed the backyard, the location, and all the little touches. You’re always welcome back anytime you feel like revisiting those memories or making new ones. I’d love to host you and your family again! Warmly, Lauren

Sonora High Homecoming

A historic early 20th century neighborhood with some amazing Victorian homes. A great walking experience to the Gold Rush downtown. A good hike though back to the property. We walked down Stewart St and home on Washington St. The property was a home that fit the period. Comfortable amenities and an inviting front porch to watch the traffic go by. We didn’t spend anytime in lower level patio. Everyone we passed on our walks were friendly and welcoming.

Close to town

We enjoyed our stay in Sonora. It was close to my family and the event we attended. Communication with the owner was odd. There was a lack of response at times. The house was clean and comfortable. The bathroom shower is a bit un safe. There was nothing to hold onto to get in and out of the shower. I thought I was going to slip. It would be helpful to have sufficient paper towels in the kitchen and toilet paper in the bathroom. Overall, a good stay.
