It truly was a pleasure to host you and your husband. we are so pleased that you enjoyed the Captains Cottage. We welcome you back anytime with open arms!
My sister was getting married down the street at the heirloom Inn. So we decided to book the Captains Cottage and what an amazing stay it was! Lidia made everything so easy from checking in to checking out. The house is so well kept and has so many amazing details. I had my two small babies and my neice and the house couldn’t have been more perfect!

Your family was a pleasure and we would highly recommend you to future hosts.
My friend and I booked this property to go wine tasting with our two daughters. It is a super cute house, very clean, and well equipped with everything we needed for a fun getaway. We even received free tasting passes for two wineries, which was above and beyond what we expected. We all had a fantastic time, watched Jaws for the 50th anniversary of the movie in the living room, and loved the super quaint back yard.Thank you so much!

Thank you for staying at the Captains Cottage. We look forward to your return visit. Thank you so much for such a wonderful review!
This place was perfect for my sister, her daughter, and myself when we came to Ione to visit other family. It is located near some very nice shops and the property manager was very attentive.
The name "Captain's Cottage" is well earned as there is a nautical theme in every room! And don't miss the octopus in the garden (especially at night).
I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to an opportunity to where I can return.

I competed in a horse show only 20 minutes away in Rancho Murieta and was relieved coming back to a super comfortable bed with a beautiful backyard patio. It was a nice quiet location which was a great change from living in San Francisco!

Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your staying at the Captains Cottage and we look forward to your return visit!
Everything about our stay was easy and just as we hoped for. The check in and check out was such an easy process. The host even made sure we had a battery pack in case the power went out during a wind advisory. The home was very clean and organized and she even provided a few snacks and everything we needed for coffee in the morning. We were there for a wedding in town and it was nice to not have to worry about the rental and just focus on the wedding.

We look forward to your return visit.
This lovely house is located in a quiet neighborhood. The property is clean and well maintained, but the thoughtfulness of the host is what sets it apart. All the toiletries, snacks, a book of things to do, coupons for wine tasting... And the backyard is a wonderful spot to just sit enjoy. Although we didn't have kids with us, the kids books, toys, and outdoor activities were a really nice touch.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We’re so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to your return.
Our circumstances of having to stay at this VRBO were under complete stress, but Lidia and Joseph made our stay very comfortable and under the circumstances they allowed us to have our fur babies with us and we didn’t have to board them. We had a glitch with the a/c unit, I messaged lidia and Joseph was there to fix it 5 minutes after messaging them. Their communication is impeccable! The kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean which is a huge thing for us. If you have an event to attend in Ione, ca I highly recommend you reserve this quaint home. You feel at home.

Thank you for your wonderful review!
I am so pleased that our Captains cottage was such a delight for you.
We would be pleased to have you stay with us again!
My husband and I spent three nights in Ione. My only regret is that we had such a short time. This place is perfect for anyone who wants to explore the surrounding area. There is a lot to see. Don Luis Mexican Restaurant was just what we needed the first day for a yummy early dinner.
The Captain's Cottage had everything we needed. Leeda went out of her way to make sure we were content. The home is in a wonderful quiet residential neighborhood with a lovely backyard for conversation, brunch or reading. The positive reviews can be believed. I will return anytime we are in the area.
