Wooded Retreat is a private studio apartment separate from main house, surrounded by trees and nature. Sitting on your deck you feel as though you in the trees. Watch deer, wild turkeys and rascally squirrels working feverishly gathering pine nuts!! Please feel free to explore the grounds. Walk in the woods, or sit on our man made beach, around the fire pit watching the sunset! Take a nap or read a book from the library on the hammock. Only spaces we prefer you not explore are the garage and main house & deck please and thank you. We have two mountain bikes, and for winter we have two snow sleds ( see pics) available for our guests to use at no extra charge. You must however have a truck or proper restraint system for transporting them. We are approximately 10 min. to Twain Harte, 12 min. to Sonora, 15 min..To Jamestown, Columbia State Park and Airport, 30 min. To Pinecrest Lake and Dodge Ridge Ski Resort depending on weather and road conditions. Phoenix Lake Golf course is a beautiful 9 hole course a very short 1/2 mile from our property, perfect for hitting a quick bucket of balls! We have numerous lakes, hiking/biking trails, and we are approximately 1 hour to the gate of Yosemite National Park.

- "Great cabin!" - "Forest and Ginger's cabin behind their house is a beautiful retreat for vacation. My partner and I stayed in the cabin during our visit to Yosemite; it's about an hour drive to the western park entrance, and about two hours from the cabin to the Yosemite Valley. The cabin itself is very well maintained and has everything you need (outside of an oven/range, but the owners have a nice gas grill outside for your use). We enjoyed walking around Sonora during our day off from hiking and had breakfast at Bon Appetit multiple times (excellent French pastries, quiche, and crepes). Overall, we highly recommend!"

- "There’s so much I could say but I want my review to be helpful to others when choosing this property because you should!! Lisa and her husband Brendan are amazing people and have a gorgeous hidden gem. They left us great recommendations on what to do in the area and we’re very attentive. My boyfriend proposed to me during our stay and they brought us treats! The Sonora birds nest will be a recurring trip for us! Even though our stay was during the crazy rain we were cozy and loved the views, at night you can hear the creek and it perfect. If you’re going in the cooler months make sure to bring warm clothes! It does get chilly and Lisa does make sure you know this which we appreciated! Thank you so much for the best trip ever!! - The future Mr and Mrs Christensen "

Owners live upstairs but the layout of the house is such that there will be no contact. Of course, owners are available if needed. Bed is a Cal King and you have access to a small yard.
- "We were up in Sonora for the Easter weekend and needed a place for two people and close to downtown. This property met that need. It was less than 5 minutes walk from the main street, easy to find, and plenty of parking. The property was the perfect size for two people. We really liked that the kitchen was separate from the sleeping/living room area. Everything was updated - light fixtures, plumbing, appliances, bathroom. The kitchen had everything we needed. The added plus was the Roku/Hulu. We just logged into our Roku account from the tv and watched our shows as if at home. Mark was also great at communicating with us. Answered my questions and the whole checkin/out process was super easy. Overall, will rebook again when next time in town."

Book for a week or more and get a discount! A traveling nurse's haven, this cozy home is anything but ordinary. European styling with comfort and functionality in mind, this adorably small home will welcome you at the end of a long work day. Vaulted ceilings give you space to breathe, while a full kitchen gives you space to create. Fully furnished with the traveling medical professional in mind, it's only 5 minutes to shopping, 25 minutes to skiing, hiking, and biking in one direction, or food, trains, historic parks, and antique shopping in the other. Roughly 90 minutes to Yosemite National Park, or the city of Modesto. We have some *VERY* friendly deer in the area, please do not let them into the house!
- "Love the place it was very relaxing definitely will stay again very quiet no noise just perfect. The owner was very lovely. I definitely recommend this place it’s more adorable than staying in a hotel. Very cozy place 5 stars " - "First the positives. The property was well stocked and clean. The location was not bad either easy to find and not too far away from the shops and stores ect. The downside to this property is they describe amenities such as a pool, and hot tub. This is a trailer park there is nothing like that there.

- "This place was a mess! Dog hair everywhere, beds not made and had soiled sheets, no clean towels, toilet was gross, bathtub was filthy. Basically the bathroom looked like it hasn’t been cleaned for months. No instructions on how to use TV or WiFi. Had to ask the host for every little thing. Reached out to the host about the condition of the place and he was very dismissive. If I can put zero rating I would. Don’t rent this place!" - "The only way the host would respond is when I contacted VRBO. The property was so filthy I wouldn't even bring my luggage into it. VRBO did NOTHING for me. I had to reverse the charges with my credit card, which they did after I showed them the awful pictures of the place. I will not consider VRBO again."

- "Beautiful location. Comfortable property. Great communication from manager." - "The home itself is nicely renovated & in a great location. Unfortunately housekeeping standards are super low & the property manager is defensive & unhelpful. Upon arrival we emailed her regarding the mess we found including food spilled in the kitchen drawers, dirty cookware, dishes, & utensils, food on the carpet & furniture, stained towels, sheets, & bedspread. There was also an animal dropping under master bed & trash under dressers & on the side of the bunkbed. Property manger sent housekeeping the next morning with more stained sheets & towels. Unfortunately I did not think to call VRBO while we were there as I thought local property manager could take care of it. She did not & said replacements were adequate. They were gross! VRBO was not able to help after stay ended even though they asked property manager to at least refund housekeeping fee. No refund was given. VRBO said they would try to contact owner, but I've waited over a month now without response. Hopefully the owner sees this review & finds a new property manger or at least insists on a new housekeeping service."

- "We were the first users. All new structure and furnishings. Minor teething problems, e.g. needed corkscrew, supplied within an hour. Owner/manager delightful, helpful. 15 min drive to groceries, restaurants. Upstairs loft/bedroom inconvenient for older or disabled folks (low ceiling), but downstairs couch conversion is excellent and comfortable. Excellent kitchen, shower, toilet, and all amenities. Very enjoyable visit."
