About this space

Mini fridge, Microwave. Coffee, tea and hot cocoa. WIFI. Smart Tv. Patio with the decorative pond and waterfall. 3 miles to historic Placerville and its unique shops. 6 miles from Coloma (Gold Discovery Park). Close to Wineries, Apple Hill, Christmas Trees, Rafting, Kayaking, 1 hour to Skiing.
Guest access
You are more than welcome to wander the property and enjoy. The horses (Gentry and Flash) keep the pasture mowed. The chickens in the orchard are entertaining. If you go into the pasture or orchard please close the gate to prevent the horses and chickens from escaping. A flock of wild Turkeys and quail wander through frequently, as well as deer. The walk down Beals Road (approximately 2 miles round trip) is an interesting walk. Our part-time dog has moved on with her owner. She shows up occasionally and promises lots of friendliness. The pond and waterfall brings a two fold enjoyment. Along with the serenity, the variety of birds that come to the pond can be very interesting. In the evening the gold finches and other "locals" come to get their baths. So if you are sitting by the pond around early evening you may be scolded by these birds, after all it is bath time.
We have a smart TV. Tired of watching movies? Try our old time radio complete with old time radio shows, like the Green Hornet, Amos and Andy, Jack Benny. Check them out and enjoy your stay.
Other things to note

The location is perfect. Far enough out of town but close to restaurants. The room was enough for the both of us, a nice cozy place. The wild turkeys and deer in the morning were a plus.

This place was perfect for us. Visiting friends in Placerville, it was clean and had everything we needed. We didn’t see the hosts, but the entry instructions were accurate and there was a book inside with additional info about the property and local activities. Am looking forward to returning because a)it was great, and b)to visit the chickens and horses next time!

Cute and clean, filled with history of the Placerville area. Small cottage with enough room for two (when we stayed inside). The decks around the cabin and pond were decorated so well and it was peaceful just relaxing in nature.

It’s the cutest little cottage, they have coffee set out, and a vintage fancy stove and mini fridge. The heat was difficult to figure out but once I got it turned on it was able to keep a comfortable toasty temperature. Only down side is 10 minute showers due to a small hot water tank.

Perfect location near downtown Placerville and not far from the start of the Apple Hill region. Everything was outstanding! Owners were very nice and Sandra, the Owner’s sister checked on us to ensure our stay was going well. It’s a nice, quiet, quaint cottage and met our needs very well. We enjoyed the private deck next to the fountain and pond with some wine one evening. Highly recommend!

Miner's Cottage was a quiet, relaxing place to stay while visiting Placerville. It's a short drive to downtown Placerville and many nearby wineries. The property is lovely, and we enjoyed talking with our host Cindy and visiting the horses, cats, and chickens. We hit Placerville during a very hot spell, and the A/C & ceiling fan in the room made for a comfortable stay. We also appreciated the comfortable bed, and enjoyed the art and interesting miner decor in our room. We would stay here again.

We were looking for a quiet place to stay for a few nights as a break from the daily grind of work and life. Miner’s Cottage was just what we were looking for. It was cozy, quiet and all our hosts were kind and helpful.
