About this property

Wooded Retreat, Welcome to the Woods! Fun, Games! Destress,Quiet Private Setting

Wooded Retreat is a private studio apartment separate from main house, surrounded by trees and nature. Sitting on your deck you feel as though you in the trees. Watch deer, wild turkeys and rascally squirrels working feverishly gathering pine nuts!! Please feel free to explore the grounds. Walk in the woods, or sit on our man made beach, around the fire pit watching the sunset! Take a nap or read a book from the library on the hammock. Only spaces we prefer you not explore are the garage and main house & deck please and thank you. We have two mountain bikes, and for winter we have two snow sleds ( see pics) available for our guests to use at no extra charge. You must however have a truck or proper restraint system for transporting them. We are approximately 10 min. to Twain Harte, 12 min. to Sonora, 15 min..To Jamestown, Columbia State Park and Airport, 30 min. To Pinecrest Lake and Dodge Ridge Ski Resort depending on weather and road conditions. Phoenix Lake Golf course is a beautiful 9 hole course a very short 1/2 mile from our property, perfect for hitting a quick bucket of balls! We have numerous lakes, hiking/biking trails, and we are approximately 1 hour to the gate of Yosemite National Park.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Neglected property. No hot water in shower, due to scaling build-up. Deck visibly not safe, with decayed wood and loose banisters, two stories up! I imagined a single parent with child being horrified. Tripping hazard via corners of area carpets used to hide stains on wall to wall carpeting. Advertised Wi-Fi, instead had an unsecured Starlink connection, with no password. Deck was not private.Vrbo assisted me and I was moved to a safe clean place with a maintained and functioning hot shower.

Response from VrboOwner on May 30, 2026
Unfortunately, I believe Lisa ultimately was looking for a free stay all along. She was never without hot water for showering or anything else for that matter, she wanted to turn it up full blast which would not sustain the water hot for very long due to scale build up, which we were completely unaware was even an issue. She could have showered for hours if she wanted just not full blast!! We paid for emergency plumbing services to fix the issue. She then began asking for her money back. When I declined to refund because we immediately resolved the issue, she began her ridiculous list issues. First the balcony is completely structurally sound and safe, it might need a new coat of paint however. We also do not recommend the property for children, that is stated clearly in the listing, because of the second floor balcony, but it is completely safe. WiFi and every other little issue is just sour grapes because I was the one who had her removed by VRBO, after her constant harassment of me while at work!! I told them she was trying to harass me into giving her a refund and I was not having it and she needed to vacate my property immediately! I have been a Premier/Superhost on here and primarily on Air b nb for 8 years, I’ve hosted hundreds upon hundreds of guests, all 5 star reviews except for 3 four star reviews out of hundreds. Anyone who reads my reviews can surmise that your claims are ridiculous BS! May God Bless you and help you find peace

The perfect weekend getaway!

This was the perfect place for my husband and I to enjoy a weekend getaway! Lovely surroundings and very inviting feel. Adriana goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. We came for a country western music festival at the local casino, but there’s lots do and see in the area. I recommend this place to anyone needing to get away and relax!

Best Mountain Get-A-Way!❤️

Me and my girlfriend had such a wonderful stay at this upstairs cottage. We had access to our own bathroom kitchen and around the property riding the bikes was a blast. We accidentally left our phones in the house and had to ask for the pass key around 2 AM which was unexpected and luckily the homeowner was awake.Sorry guys for waking you! I give our stay a 10+ Plus lots of fun!
