It has a combination of hardwood floors (living room, dining, stairs, and landing and tile (lower stairs and entryway) and plush carpet (in the four bedrooms) for you to enjoy. Three discrete redwood balconies circle the top level of the home furnishing nearly a 360-degree view of the surrounding country. The wrap-around deck about the swimming pool is also a good place to repose after a day’s activity and drink in the rustic grandeur that abounds the home: the mountains, a plethora of birds (including a flock of wild turkeys), deer, and other animals, and the lap of green and a carpet of flowers along the foothills (during the winter and spring seasons, golden grass during the summer), the drooping mature oaks, the free form in-ground Geremia pool, the 20-by-20-foot covered gazebo and fenced garden with sprinklers and drip irrigation. The sound of the river is hypnotic, lulling you to readily fall asleep on the deck or in the gazebo for an afternoon siesta. The gazebo, furnished in a living room style with a comfortable sofa and chairs, cushioned stools, and coffee table is equipped with a refrigerator, a large table, and several extra chairs that can be used for more sitting. It is located 115 miles North-East of San Francisco Bay Area, about the same distance from Lake Tahoe, 75 miles from Sacramento, and 25 miles from Stockton. Besides the local beauty one can enjoy, there is a lot to see and do in the greater Calaveras County. These range from the historic and picturesque gold rush towns to the great foothill vineyards and taste rooms, microbreweries, and pubs to the eclectic art galleries, antique shops, and gold rush museums and the Heavenly Valley snow ski resort which is about 1 hour away. Then there are the natural wonders: the hundreds of limestone and crystalline-filled caves and caverns–-many that you can explore on your own but there are also public ones (cave city, mercer and moaning caverns being examples), the abundance of lakes and reservoirs (some of which are listed below), Big Tree and Stanislaus Natural Forests and ski resorts (such as Bear Valley which is about an hour away). You can enjoy different activities in all seasons–-winter and summer sports, hike and bike, go gold-panning or horseback riding, fishing and boating as well as enjoy a round of golf on professional courses laid out along canyon ridges in the pines or among 200-year-old oaks in rolling hills. \* WIFI - Because of the remoteness of the home from the main wIFI hub, we use a Verizon hotspot - good enough to browse the Internet and check email. Lakes, water views, and fun: Calaveras County in general, and the Central Sierra Foothills, in particular, are blessed with a great number of beautiful lakes and reservoirs. Examples: HOGAN RESERVOIR--A 7-minute drive from the house; LAKE CAMANCHE--a 15-minute drive from the house is located on the western side of the Sierra-Nevada foothills; LAKE MELONES--A 45-minute drive from the house; and LAKE TULLOCH-–Located south-east of Valley Springs, at a distance of about 20 miles from the house Keywords: House ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Not inside house the house. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a zoo - On a lake - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Boat - Golf - Water sports equipment - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81820000/81811300/81811211/25b74b55.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful 2 bedrooms vacation home!

As noted that a room is locked, u can't get to the pool from the room that is closed off, which would be so nice to not have to go to the backyd, from the front door, but the river is right there and u can hear it, which is even better. We had to drive to fish, because of grandkids are a lil young to hike that route but it was overall great! ##### Annette K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara S.

The only challenge was that pool was cold even though it was sunny. I wish they had a headted pool or I would not recommend the place if you are going for the pool. We had barbeque and some amazing time with friends / family - its a nice get away not too far from the bay and the location is nice.

Pool was nice too but unfortunately it did rain on one of the days we were here. This place would be perfect for the summer especially with it having a pool. Outdoor deck is a nice area to relax and enjoy the scenery. Even had deers walk by the back while we were bbqing. Just a few mosquitoes, other than that we enjoyed out stay. ##### Ben V.

The whole family spent the whole time in the pool & enjoying the view. If you bring enough food & drinks you won't need to leave at all. Even my daughter noticed how relaxing the sound of the river is. She wouldn't normally notice these things. Great house & overall great experience. ##### Eric S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie S. May 22, 2019 #### Gorgeous view off pool deck. I rented this home for the family of my new son-in-law during the weekend of the wedding. We checked out the home when we dropped off welcome bags. Home is definitely not handicapped accessible and had a bit of an odd smell, but was plenty spacious inside for several couples. The pool in the back of the house had a gorgeous view of the river down below. A bit pricey for a winter stay, but well worth the cost if you will have time to spend outside in the pool with the view! ##### Debbie S.

This property is truly one of a kind. The house is large and easily accommodates multiple families. It is an older home, so don't expect a ton of bells and whistles. But it is clean and large. The property is absolutely stunning! The view in the back of the home over the river valley looks like a computer background and the pool area was THE highlight of our trip. The property manager, Maria, is great to work with and very available throughout the process. Overall, a 5-star property, and we will be back! ##### Eve-Maridy R.

Sep 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good property for 5 friends Property manager had mixed up the date of arrival and the house wasn’t ready when we arrived. Took a couple of hours to clean while we waited by the pool. The living room furniture wasn’t conducive to watching TV comfortably but we didn’t really want to watch much TV. The pool area was very nice. Some of the kitchen cookery/dishes weren’t very clean and we ended up washing most things before use. The owner was pleasant. ##### Vicki L.

My husband and I stayed at our home next door, and our children and their spouses stayed at the VRBO. The living room was big enough for all of us to be able to sit and talk. There were two tables, which fit all ten of us inside, and there were tables outside, which also accommodated ten. There were plenty of plates, silverware, pans, cooking utensils, glasses and knives. The outside area was spacious and offered shade, if needed. The pool was large enough for everyone, and pool toys and beach towels were provided. The view was gorgeous, and plenty of lounge chairs offered a chance to enjoy it. We shalll definitely return! ##### Barbara D. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill S. Jul 28, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun in the Pool We had a great week in this house. We spend hours and hours swimming, playing and floating in the pool. We grilled outside most nights, but usually ate in because of pesky bees (that were only around when we were trying to eat dinner). Lots of great places to sit outside. We loved the view from the yard and the balconies. Hearing the river all the time just added to the ambiance! When we weren’t swimming in the backyard we went fishing and kayaking (with our own kayaks) on New Hogan Lake. We also went to Lake Alpine for the day which was lovely although crowded. We recommend going early. The kitchen had everything we needed. Overall, the house met all our needs. ##### Jill S.

We celebrated our son's 18th birthday here. The house has a great pool and there was lots of room -- a huge deck and shaded gazebo and lots of little nooks and crannies hidden about to retreat. The sound of the river and the gorgeous views were stunning. And the stars at night -- Wow! My son and his friends slept outside one night just to take it all in. They had a fox sighting! The house and kitchen was plentifully stocked -- no need to bring any of your own cooking equipment at all. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The property has many, many stairs! It was good exercise for us, but something to know if you need single floor property. ABOVE and BEYOND: Our arrangement was a bit complicated and it required a lot of communication with JP and Rosa. They were incredibly helpful and got back to us right away with every question we asked. They went above and beyond to work with us to make our stay pleasant and fun for our son's birthday. Thank you so much! ##### Meredith R. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura N. Aug 25, 2010 #### Great house, not so great professionalism We had a small group of friends come to stay at this beautiful property over a late-July weekend. We had an amazing time in the pool, enjoyed the gorgeous view, and lounged around in the gazebo. The house itself was wonderful & we have no complaints about our stay there! What we do have issue with is the fact that it took the owner well over the 21 days to return our deposit. Time was of utmost importance in getting the money to him when we wanted to reserve the house, and so we expected the same courtesy would be given in refunding the deposit. We had to contact him several times in regards to getting the money sent back, which we found very unprofessional. We would love to say that we would stay here again, because the house was amazing, but we are sure we could find something similar with a little less hassle in getting refunded on a deposit we made sure was to the owner in a timely manner. ##### Laura N. ### 8/10 Good #### christine s. Jul 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice views by the pool. Very nice location, pool/patio was nice small refrigerator out by the pool was great for snacks and drinks in 90+ weather. You cannot beat the view and sound of the river 5 stars for that. My only complaints was most of the window coverings were not functional and you could not close them. Some were also broken. There is no lock on the master bedroom door. Other great stuff is kitchen has everything you needed. Refrigerator has an ice maker which was nice. We prepared most of our food at the home and used the grill by the pool for dinners. We also loved the large table by the pool and grill to eat our dinners. Wi-Fi is not that great just for emails, and we could not watch much tv which was fine. My husband had a Teams meeting and he was able to connect using our personal hotspot. FYI there are a lot of stairs to get to the pool I think about 20, and there are 3 levels in the home. This is not a problem for most but for frail elderly or wheelchair bound this would not be a good place. There are 4 bedrooms all nice 3 on 3rd level upstairs and 1 downstairs 1st level, which my old teen enjoyed. The host were great to communicate with. ##### christine s.

He wanted to go fishing so I was looking for something close to the lake and accessible to water. Maria and Jp were very responsive and accommodating through my whole experience. I had many questions before I booked and they were very quick to answer back. The home was very clean, and had plenty of space for my group of 8. The house was also stocked with plenty of dishes and condiments I needed for the weekend. The view from the house is absolutely breath taking as well and made the home feel very cozy and welcoming. Even though Maria suggested the lake close by for fishing my husband was able to do most of his fishing down at the river, all 4 men caught many trout! The hike down to the river is not for the faint but it is very manageable. I really don’t have any cons to say about the house. At one point the wifi did stop working but we were having such a good time we didn’t even notice. It didn’t effect anyone and I didn’t reach out to Maria and Jp to ask to fix the problem. If I absolutely had to say this awesome house was missing something the only thing I could say would be a hot tub. Other then that everything was perfect! We had the best weekend in this beautiful house and we absolutely can’t wait to go back! ##### Mercedes M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Keith B.

We had a lot of questions before we arrived about how the kitchen was stocked since we'd be cooking in unfamiliar territory. It was just a quick matter of a note to the very helpful owners to get answers. Super friendly and very clear communication. Once we arrived we enjoyed the beauty and serenity of the location. The house was well maintained and the grounds and surrounding area was clean and neat. The ability to open up the garage door really helped expedite our unloading (and later reloading) of the cars. While there, I broke a chair and when I let the owners know, it was a simple matter to resolve the issue and pay for my damages. My only complaint about the entire experience was the painfully slow internet. I wish this was disclosed before we arrived so we could have planned for it. Instead it was an unpleasant surprise. If you're expecting to do anything more than check your e-mail (one at a time) then bring your own hotspot and ensure you have cellular coverage because the internet at the house will disappoint. However, if you're looking for a place to disconnect then this is the right choice for you. ;-) We look forward to booking the property again so we can enjoy the pool and outside deck area more and now that we're aware of the bandwidth limitations, we'll bring entertainment rather than rely on being able to stream anything. Recommended! ##### Keith B. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ruth b.

It really does have a stunning view, and the whole outdoor area is spacious, relaxing and comfortable. Sitting by the pool and listening to the river run by down below made it feel like a resort setting. Inside, the four bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The kitchen isn't large but it had plenty of space to cook large meals, and we used the grill as well. We loved having the big table outside for dinners and the covered lounge area. Note that we were visiting in the fall when the weather was nice. Hot, but not too hot, so it was perfect for enjoying the outside. ##### ruth b.
