Log cabin house in historic Columbia
This is a gorgeous property settled at the edge of the state park land that goes for miles. Three acres on the property with lots of fun activities for the kids. A loft with pool table that converts to ping pong and dartboard, trampoline and rope swing outside. 3 acres of space on the property to roam and can also hike up through the state park land which is bordering our property. Both bathrooms have bathtubs, upstairs has a claw foot bathtub. Hi speed Internet and Wi-Fi. By popular demand we have added a Mr Cool mini split AC unit in the upstairs loft and master bedroom areas along with the 1000 sq ft AC unit downstairs keeping the super hot days cool inside. It also heats for the Winter time. Each bedroom has its own character with none of the bedrooms stacked with beds. The master bedroom has a loveseat and a vanity. There is also a bookshelf with a variety of books to choose from. There are extra roll out beds in the hall closet and the living room couch has a hideaway bed.

We loved the location and seclusion! The cabin is well appointed and maintained. There is an obvious pride of ownership by the Host. Communication with the Host was outstanding and pleasant! Will certainly come back to this cabin again!
Owner was very responsive and accommodating; very helpful and nice. Cabin was cozy and spacious. Grounds were beautiful. Lots of deer, turkeys and quails. Very close to Columbia.
We wanted to get out of town for the first and this was just right. Nice property and the quiet we were seeking. The owner was very clear about everything and we had no issues or problems at all. We gladly recommend staying here and I’m sure we will again!
Everything about this property was amazing. Communication, check in, cleanliness, and description of the property. Cannot recommend enough!!! Fabulous!!
This was the perfect place to stay for our visit! The cabin has everything you need, warm, cozy and relaxing. Would stay here again. Beautiful spot! Easy communication with the owner. Thank you.
Me, my husband, and nephew took a trip to this beautiful cabin. Let me just say this place was so wonderful. It was quiet, relaxing, just really nice. We can not wait to visit again. Also being so close to Columbia State Park was so cool, it brought me back to when I would visit with dad as a young child.
We rented this house to show my niece and nephews the history of Gold Country. The location was great for this purpose.The house was stocked with everything we needed. The kids loved the trampoline and the ping pong table. We also love to cook and it was a great kitchen our culinary needs. I would recommend staying here.
Great property, very peaceful… had a pool table, ping pong, and a dart board we all played, our sons first games of pool👍 very cool “old school” town, felt like it brought you back the the 1800s
This is a wonderful property in a great spot. A very peaceful and well-equipped retreat. Easy to Sonora and Columbia (obviously). But also a good base for trip to Calaveras Big Trees. Yosemite Valley is a little further (2 hours) but still worked nicely as a day trip (with early departure to ensure a parking spot!).
An amazing peaceful and quiet property in the middle of nature! This property served as a great "home base" for our family of 4, plus 2 dogs, to explore Gold Country over the 4th of July week. The house kept us cool and comfortable even during triple digit heat. John is an amazing host and is truly invested in making sure you enjoy your stay! As other reviews have mentioned, there are a lot of burs this time of the year, and we brought a "fur rake" with us that was a lifesaver for us and our dogs.
John's home and property are a slice right out of paradise. Quiet, peaceful and relaxing. This was our 3rd stay at this wonderful home. We absolutely love the property and the privacy. Nothing is more amazing than having coffee on the deck, listening to the birds and watching nature in action. It truly rejuvenates your soul!
Thank you John for being such a phenomenal host and opening your home to us again! We look forward to our next stay.
My family (mom, bother, sister in law and 10yr old nephew) all met in Gold Country this year for thanksgiving. We had a great time and this house worked really well for us. It was big enough to hang out and had a big piece of land all around (it's right next to state park). It was comfortable and the wood burning stove (the main source of heat)n made everything cozy. It was fun to see the wild turkeys in the morning! The kitchen was pretty well equipped and we brought the necessities for making a Thanksgiving meal. John was super communicative, responsive and helpful, from directions to the house, how to use the TV and other house things. He also gave suggestions for seeing the towns nearby. I loved exploring Columbia, Sonora and Murphy's. I'd love to go back to this house again when we're in that area.
A beautiful home just a few minutes drive from the downtown area of Columbia State Park. The owner was kind enough to call and chat about the property, which made us feel very comfortable. Lots of living space including a loft with a pool table and ping pong table. My son and I had quite a ping pong tournament. My daughter had a headache after touring Columbia and enjoyed a soak in the claw foot tub. The owner allowed our dog to come, so we enjoyed a gorgeous walk through the state park next the the property. The home is very clean and well maintained. It’s obvious the owners take pride in this beautiful home. Check in and check out was easy and reasonable. We definitely recommend this home!
We stayed at this home in early August 2023. Two families , 3 adults and 4 kids amongst us . Three boys (ages 10 and 12) and a “surly” girl of 14. We all had a great time; John was great too as he checked in with me prior to arrival and gave specific directions on the home, getting up the “hill”, DO NOT slow down when approaching the hill (there is sign saying that too), and then at top of hill take a HARD LEFT (gps will not tell you to turn right)… John also gave great information and suggestions for excursions (Moaning Caverns , etc.) be careful not to overload washer, if you use it. The place was comfortable, had enough AC units to keep things cool; clean, ping pong table, billiards; tree house; kids had a ball exploring outside. We would consider going back ….thank you John
House and property are great and perfect for families. Location is so close to so many fun things in the area and host is very accommodating and communicative. Will definitely stay again.
Great host! Very responsive, helpful and friendly. Our stay started the day after Christmas and we were very pleasantly surprised that there was a beautifully decorated Christmas tree still up for us to enjoy! Nice touch.
This is a great house on a large, private lot. The kids loved the rope swing, trampoline, and treehouse. The porch was a great spot to have dinner and enjoy the evening. The house was clean and great for our group. The host was very helpful and gave us a ton of great info about the house. The check in process was easy. Looking forward to staying here again!
Our family loved staying at this cabin! It was perfect for our two young kids with a treehouse, trampoline, and swing as well as plenty of space to run around. We went boating on New Melones lake and explored Columbia. The owner was very helpful and detailed when we had questions. Highly recommend to anyone staying in this area especially those with kids!
This place is amazing, it sits in a perfect wooded setting in the historic town of Columbia. The house was beautiful, spacious and well maintained. Its on a dirt road but no one had any issues even in two wheel drive. Winter maybe another story. The property was very picturesque. We spent every morning outside on the deck. It felt very tranquil. This place made our vacation. We will definitely be rebooking!
