Miners Cottage

About this space
Cozy Private Cottage in a country setting. A retreat to recharge the soul. Two miles from Hwy 50. Ideal for 2 people, Queen bed, Quality linens and towels, Closet, bathroom with large shower. Mini fridge, Microwave. Coffee, tea and hot cocoa. WIFI. Smart Tv. Patio with the decorative pond and waterfall. 3 miles to historic Placerville and its unique shops. 6 miles from Coloma (Gold Discovery Park). Close to Wineries, Apple Hill, Christmas Trees, Rafting, Kayaking, 1 hour to Skiing.
Guest access
You are more than welcome to wander the property and enjoy. The horses (Gentry and Flash) keep the pasture mowed. The chickens in the orchard are entertaining. If you go into the pasture or orchard please close the gate to prevent the horses and chickens from escaping. A flock of wild Turkeys and quail wander through frequently, as well as deer. The walk down Beals Road (approximately 2 miles round trip) is an interesting walk. Our part-time dog has moved on with her owner. She shows up occasionally and promises lots of friendliness. The pond and waterfall brings a two fold enjoyment. Along with the serenity, the variety of birds that come to the pond can be very interesting. In the evening the gold finches and other "locals" come to get their baths. So if you are sitting by the pond around early evening you may be scolded by these birds, after all it is bath time.
We have a smart TV. Tired of watching movies? Try our old time radio complete with old time radio shows, like the Green Hornet, Amos and Andy, Jack Benny. Check them out and enjoy your stay.
Other things to note
I am a 5th generation resident of El Dorado County. We will be more than happy to assist in answering any questions about the area. We have a restaurant guide available for the Placerville and Coloma/Lotus area. Two Wineries, Gold Hill (also a brewery) and David Girard Vineyards are within 4 miles of the cottage.

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

It’s the cutest little cottage, they have coffee set out, and a vintage fancy stove and mini fridge. The heat was difficult to figure out but once I got it turned on it was able to keep a comfortable toasty temperature. Only down side is 10 minute showers due to a small hot water tank.

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!

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.

I absolutely loved everything about the Miner’s Cottage! It was all I hoped for and more. I found it to be nice and cozy with a comfortable bed. The heating and air conditioning unit on the wall worked perfectly. Being a coffee lover, I was delighted to see Black Rifle coffee pods offered, which are some of my favorites. Tom and Cynthia were wonderful hosts and made me feel at home but gave me all the privacy too. They were also so generous as to encourage me to wander around their property and to enjoy their horses. The 2 mile walk on Beals was a highlight as well as sitting by the lovely pond. It was so serene and I felt so peaceful, restored, and rested when I left. I will definitely come back! I’d love to make this an annual retreat! Highly recommend for a nice quiet getaway!
Welcoming arrival!

The cabin was very cozy, so very clean. Everything I needed was in the cabin. It was Quiet and the surroundings are beautiful. There is a lovely koi pond with a small waterfall as you walk in the gate. I’m ready to re book. I would return here anytime. It is a perfect getaway!

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.

Perfect location near downtown Placerville and not far from the start of the Apple Hill region. Everything was outstanding! Owners were very nice and Sandra, the Owner’s sister checked on us to ensure our stay was going well. It’s a nice, quiet, quaint cottage and met our needs very well. We enjoyed the private deck next to the fountain and pond with some wine one evening. Highly recommend!

Miner's Cottage was a quiet, relaxing place to stay while visiting Placerville. It's a short drive to downtown Placerville and many nearby wineries. The property is lovely, and we enjoyed talking with our host Cindy and visiting the horses, cats, and chickens. We hit Placerville during a very hot spell, and the A/C & ceiling fan in the room made for a comfortable stay. We also appreciated the comfortable bed, and enjoyed the art and interesting miner decor in our room. We would stay here again.
