The house is great, the fishing pond was incredible. Nice and quiet good place for a secluded weekend. Everything was exactly as advertised, the hosts were excellent. One of my favorite VRBO experiences
Such a great spot - secluded, great view, lots to explore nearby. Sarah and Matts have clearly put a lot of time into thinking about what will make this space special. I loved the sauna, cold plunge, massage chair, and relaxing on the porch. I hope to be back someday!
Host was very thoughtful with all the little extras and special touches to make the stay comfortable and fun. Our corgi and kid were welcome and entertained. Amazing views at sunset and star gazing. Even had a red moon! Loved the paddle boats, fire pit and swinging chairs on the deck. Hot August days lovely at the pond and we want to come when there are wildflowers in late spring next time.
Everything was as advertised. Amenities were excellent. Beautiful scenery and peaceful setting. Really enjoyed the pond, sauna, massage chair, and fire pit. Convenient location for the family after my son's basketball game at Sonora High. Would highly recommend for some quality family time.

Thank you for choosing our home! Hope you'll visit again!
A little tricky to find so I’m glad we first went in the daylight to find our way. But once we were there, it’s a beautiful place with a great location for checking out the stars at night and very secluded and quiet.
We had an excellent time at our stay at the hilltop tower in Vallecito. Everything was clean and working well with beautiful sunsets in the evening. The area was pet friendly, and our dog loved being outside in the open air with a place to run.

Property was quiet and relaxing. Kitchen was stocked with all the extras, milk frother, oil, foil, etc… No distractions for our dog (except wildlife, to be expected) She loved recharging on the deck in the sun! Hiked down to the pond explored on the paddle boat, took full advantage of the massage chair, cold plunge, and sauna each day. Didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit, but it looks amazing, great setup. Great hammock chairs in the deck. We came to relax and that’s what we did! Thank you. (We don’t have kids, but looks very kid friendly and it was VERY dog friendly)
We loved everything about our short stay in the tower! The views, the sunset and the stars were amazing and so peaceful.It feels you are on top of your own hill overlooking the valleys left and right, with great hang out spots outside, downstairs and upstairs on the balcony where the sunset is at it’s best.The owners made us feel very welcome and taken care of, with the little details in the house and all the amenities that were there. Wish we had more time to explore the area, so we definitely will be back!
We were looking for a nice, serene vacation spot away from the hustle of daily life and we found it! Really neat spot located near both moaning and Mercer caverns as well as downtown angels camp and Murphys. Very clean and comfortable. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. Not to mention, we watched the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets From the third floor. Our young son loved the property. I have already recommended this spot to family and friends!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The house was spotless and clearly well maintained. The views from the home are stunning — peaceful and scenic, with open skies that make for great stargazing. One of my favorite features was the idyllic pond a short but steep walk from the house — calm, quiet, and perfect for unwinding.Another bonus is the location. It’s only a short drive to Moaning Caverns and Natural Bridges, two amazing sites that are absolutely worth visiting while you're in the area. This place is a perfect mix of comfort, cleanliness, and natural beauty. Highly recommended!
Wow, what a dreamy place!!! Its was a bit of a "splurge" for our budget and worth every penny. The property manager is incredibly helpful and responsive and provides you with so many special amenities. The kids caught their first fishes in the pond! The BEST unexpected bonus was finding a bunch of geodes on the gravel lot!!!! The kids loved finding them and then spreading them out for others to find. A great stay for a family!
We were in town for a concert at Ironstone Amphitheater. Since we procrastinated a bit in booking, my wife and I were pleasantly surprised to find something within about 15 minutes of the theater, and as a bonus, with a beautiful vista view! We loved drinking our coffee on the top balcony, overlooking the ridge. It was a delight to have so many amenities, even thoughtful complementary satin eye masks on the bedside tables, and a s'mores kit in the fridge. Would love to stay again when we have a long weekend and can take advantage of the fishing pond. Simply a delight.
Getting to stay here, hosted by Sarah, was amazing. The location is beautiful and so private. It was the perfect little getaway for our family. Sarah is a fabulous host who left no stone unturned in making sure the property was perfect for our stay. Even down to little details like multiple charger cables in each room, the milk frother to accompany your morning coffee, the s’mores packs, and more were such special touches. They also went out of their way to help us out when we had a little car trouble. I’d totally stay here again in a heartbeat! Go visit the lookout tower asap!
