Amazing property

Perfect location! Just a few minutes from everything you could possibly need. Very peaceful and serene property. Three ponds, with one available for fishing right outside our door. The hosts are available if you need them, but otherwise it's like they're not even there. We visited this property at the same time last year, for the first time. Needless to say, this place will probably be an annual tradition for us! Thank you Sandy & Tom, for sharing your amazing property with us, see you next year!

Beautiful in the end

I was looking forward to staying at this property because of the country setting. And that aspect of the property, was the highlight of my stay. Very peaceful. Lovely. I had a problem with some cleanliness issues, and contacted the owner who quickly resolved the issue, which I greatly appreciated . I do find positives and negatives with this property. The views are beautiful and it is definitely peaceful. However, I find the over abundance of children’s toys to be odd. I think they should be stored away. Also, the kitchen is very sparse with regard to spices, utensils, and cooking supplies. You should bring anything you think you need or else plan on eating out. I think the construction of the apartment is excellent. However, the interior could be greatly improved and updated. As a single person without a family, I am not that interested in looking at toys all over the place. Again I stress that the architectural design of the apartment is excellent but so much more could be done with it. I did not watch television, but I thought thought the futon should have pillows to make it more comfortable to watch TV. The place is small. If you have more than three people I think he would feel cramped. Would I return? Yes.

Comfortable country stay with kids

We drove up from the Bay Area to see friends that live nearby, and thought it would be nice to allow our twin 5 year old's to experience a little bit of nature. The guest suite delivered - clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Our children enjoyed feeding the animals, and making scrambled eggs (thank you Sandy). We "pretend" fished in the fish pond, just casting into the pond with the provided poles. It was lovely. We also took a hike on the Monte Vista trail (2 minutes or less away), which was perfect for little ones. Location is country, but a 5-7 minute drive to Safeway and restaurants.

Back home again

Very nice place brought back great memories of our home and time in Shingle Springs!! Great views and beautifully kept property. One improvement would be to add a stove/oven, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Thank you for your hospitality!
