Top Sonora Hotel Reviews

Lazy Z Resort

10/10 Excellent

"It was a cozy little cabin that has an amazing pool I just wish it was heated. Great place to unwind and relax."

The Inn on Knowles Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The host is AMAZING. She is the kindest!! She makes the most delicious breakfasts I maybe ever had. Her decorations are impeccable and the vibes there are great. There are so many cats there!!! If you love animals you will love it there. My boyfriend and I stayed there for two nights and three days and honestly I want to go back. We went during the summer so it was HOT (we knew that before we got there). She told us the best time to go is in the fall with all the pumpkins and fall vibes and I and am definitely going to come back during that time. I highly recommend going to the Knowles inn. It really doesn't matter when you go. You'll have a good time at any point in the year! :))"

Prospector's Paradise - your resort destination in Sonora - Twain Harte!

10/10 Excellent

"The house was clean, spacious and had an incredible outdoor space. Pictures did not do it justice! What a dream for our group of friends and kids!*The only thing we would have liked was to be a little closer to a public lake or beach area. But either way I would still book it again."

Charming 4-bedroom house with WiFi and AC in lovely Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"The solid house layout with all of the modern appliances was great. A word of caution that the front door is 41 stair steps up from the driveway (15 of which are more shallow) with no railings, making the climb difficult for our mobility-challenged member. But once inside, we all loved and enjoyed the house."

Beautiful, Modern Straw Bale House

10/10 Excellent

"I had come across this property 3 years ago, but plans changed and we did not book. I’ve looked at other weekends over the years, but the timing didn’t work, until this year. I was so happy it was available when we wanted, and it did not disappoint. Cooking for the 6 of us was easy with a great kitchen stocked with plenty of cookware. I enjoyed quiet mornings outside drinking coffee and reading from an ample library on site related to the Gold Country. Pinecrest Lake just 35 minutes up the road. Easy to get to a few river access points and downtown Sonora for food, drink and shopping.Communication with host was clear and easy. We all really enjoyed our time."
