Welcome to our secret Shangri La of the Sierras! This studio guest house is on our private 1 acre property. We live in the main house. The guest house has its own private entrance and fenced in yard. This natural setting is peaceful yet close to everything you need. 7 minutes from HWY 50. Free range chickens and bunnies on main property. Not a good place for loud noise or partying but a calm quiet place to hide and restore yourself.

Mt husband and I needed a place to stay for a couple of weeks while our house was on the market. This location fit the bill. Quiet, well located neighborhood with a great host. AND our furry family members were welcome! Would stay again.
This great little cottage style home was perfect for our purposes as we awaited the completion of our home construction. It’s also a perfect stay for those who are looking for a peaceful location which has the feeling of remoteness yet close to many great locations and activities.
My pup and I needed a quiet place for the weekend while the airshow event was scheduled near our home and jets were were flying over the neighborhood. Loved staying at this quiet peaceful home. Nicely updated and comfortable home. Sarah is a great host (my dog Honey agrees)!
Just the cutest little spot! I found myself wishing I had longer to stay. It was just me and the space was wonderful but it would be comfortable for a couple or two friends or a parent/child. It was peaceful and quiet and absolutely adorable. Comfy bed, thoughtful extras like chargers near the bed & near the couch, coffee pods and creamer cups, coloring books with colored pencils. The outdoor space was beautiful with mature trees! Wifi was great, TV had streaming options, and the fireplace with the flameless candles on top added so much charm. Host was friendly and communicative but nonintrusive. I hope to return sometime :) thank you for a great stay!
The house was super charming. In a very quiet neighborhood would definitely come back love the way it was decorated the fireplace. Added such a warm coziness that was comfortable. Everything we needed was there.
Very peaceful quiet and cozy. All the comforts of home. Everything in working order and felt very private. Loved the little yard area for my dog. Will come again when I need to get away.
This has been one of our favorite places to stay. The host thought of everything. The cottage had everything we needed to enjoy a quiet getaway from our busy lives. Ideal location to Red Hawk casino. We willdefinitely tell everyone and stay again.
We went up here for the long New Year’s weekend. The rental was very clean, well furnished, and had plenty of things for us to see, read and watch. We especially noticed the decorations from different cultures around the world. Well, we didn’t see chickens and bunnies this time we did see some deer and a very friendly cat. Highly recommend it.

Loved this place! Would come back here in a heartbeat!
It was a wonderful stay! The property was just as described and it was so nice we could bring our fur baby with us. It was so peaceful and relaxing! We would definitely stay here again😀 10/10!!
We have stayed at the “Serene & Quiet Cottage” several times. It is always clean and cozy. We travel with our two golden retrievers and the fenced yard is very nice and convenient for them. Communication with the owner is always quick and easy. And the cottage is conveniently located for wineries, Apple Hill, downtown Placerville or other local sites. You do have to pass the high school to get to and from the cottage from Highway 50 or points north, so plan accordingly. It can be very congested at times!
This is the second time we have rented this lovely, quiet cottage. It’s very comfortable and close to everything! Communication with the owner is always prompt and super easy! We’ll be back!
We loved staying at Sarah's adorable guest house. She is very kind and welcoming. Loved the visits from the animals, and the home is very quiet and comfortable.
My grown daughter and I stayed here for a peaceful weekend away. It was very quiet and easy. We saw deer in the morning and were able to go to town quickly for our a pedicure and groceries.
We had a wonderful weekend in this small and peaceful home.
Accommodations comfortable, location rural & quiet, but close to shopping, restauarnts & other places of interest. Hosts were very responsive to our needs.
