A Great Riverfront Vacation Retreat, Near Lakes, Golf Courses and Rolling Hills

We had an amazing time! The house was very spacious and clean. We loved having our private pool overlooking the river. The gazebo was awesome for afternoon cookout by the pool. We highly recommend this property. JP the owner was very helpful and responded in a timely fashion!

This was an amazingly relaxing property for our family vacation of 8 adults. Beautiful setting and views of the Calaveras River. Short drive the heart of the Gold Country from Murphy's Jamestown, Angels Camp, Sutter Creek. We rented a pontoon on Lake Comanche for the day which was a blast, spent a day at the Sequoia National Park. And the best part "no TV" even though there is one the family opted for family game nights, cards, monopoly, Uno etc. Not to mention BBQing by the pool or just lounging around doing nothing., JP is amazing and answered all our questions before and during on week visit - its most likely going to be our go to property for short or long trips.

We loved our stay at JP's home in Valley Springs. It was extremely warm that weekend, and the beautiful pool and deck were just what we needed. The home was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 2 young children. Would love to come visit again!

Would love to come back during the summer and use the pool... Great BBQ area, great for families to come together and relax in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere where tv and internet isn't really a thing to do

The house and back yard pool was great. Enough space for me and my family, House was nice and organized. Very spacious with nice view and a quiet neighborhood. The only bad thing I got to say about this house is when the living room lights went out for an hour but came back on. Owner was very helpful in solving any problems and easy to get a hold of. Would strongly consider coming back.

Lovely location close the the river; nice pool and comfy rooms. Very nice deck and gazebo.

Four of us friends had a very enjoyable reunion here. We found the house comfortable and well stocked. It was nice that there were so many bedrooms. There is a balcony outside the kitchen with lovely views where we would have our breakfasts or dinner. We enjoyed hearing the river and watching the many birds. It was fun seeing the turkeys fly into trees at night to roost. There is a big outdoor area by the pool that is nice to sit around. The manager was particularly responsive and helpful as well as knew interesting places to visit. Hot during the days but nice and cool at night. We would definitely come back.

My girlfriends and I, along with our children, have stayed twice at this home, and we loved it each time. The house is spacious, and the bedrooms are on different floors (just a few steps up or down) from the main living area, which is perfect if you have little ones who need to nap during the day or go to bed early at night. The property is near other homes, but it feels like no one else is around, so it is very private. The pool and surrounding area is beautiful - you couldn't ask for a better view. We loved having the gazebo as well; we could get out of the sun for a bit while still enjoying the outdoors. This is a great home for families or girlfriends to rent if you want to just relax and be low key.

My husband and I were on a week-long get away from the Bay Area for some fun and relaxation. It only took a short two-hours to arrive in Valley Springs. We were so amazed at the beautiful view and sound of the Calaveras River below the property visible from the pool area. The pool itself was so lovely to just float on while watching woodpeckers in the tall trees growing next the property and the covey of quail roaming around, along with some deer. We hiked down to the river and found the rope swing. Unfortunately, the river was running fast and we weren't able to find an easy access into the river. Be sure to bring hiking shoes and long pants. One day we even spotted a couple of fly fishermen on the river. On the really hot days sitting in the large well-furnished gazebo was a real treat. There was even a mini-fridge that came in very handy. My husband cooked up some delicious steaks on the gas grill and at night we watched movies under the stars on my laptop. There is even a video store in town. The home is large and very well stock. I found the beds a little firm for me and preferred the large queen size air mattress. I was excited to find a NutriBullet in the kitchen and used it often to make smoothies. There is no internet but we were able to get cell service through our AT&T. The Dish TV for news was on the blink but we really didn't miss TV. We had our kindles loaded up with books. The washer and dryer in the garage came in handy and it was nice we could pull our car into the garage to keep it out of the hot sun. The owner provided many pamphlets of things to do in the area. When we weren't lounging in the pool, we golfed at the La Contenta Golf Course in Town, Saddle Creek Golf in Copperopolis, visited the Big Trees State Park in Arnold, and had an all-you-can-eat lobster buffet at Jackson Rancheria. Staying in and cooking was easy and the Mar-Val Grocery Store in town is pretty big and they make really good deli sandwiches. We also treated ourselves to Roundtable Pizza in town. We felt so relaxed and pampered. Can't wait to go back again.
