We had a lovely stay at the cottage, close distance to the wineries and downtown. Will definitely stay again…the only suggestion would be to clean up the spider webs (I did get several spider bites, not fun and very itchy).

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.

Cynthia and Tom’s slice of heaven is everything they advertise and more! So comfortable and relaxing for the two of us when we come to Placerville to participate in the Home Show every year. The location is perfect, just a bit out of town but literally two minutes from everything. Buttercup pantry has the most outstanding breakfast. You’ll find Tom‘s drive-in has awesome burgers, sandwiches, fries, and onion rings, and their wings are outstanding.This is a must book if you are staying in Placerville

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.

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!

Cozy Cottage

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.
