Working and Refreshing Retreat
This was the second time few co-workers from Sacramento meet for a few days on a working business retreat away from daily interuptions. One of us wanted to go home to his family at night which worked well since it was only about a 40 minute commute. The place is very well furnished and clean. There is lots of natural light inside and nice outdoor seating areas. I suspect we will be back.

Every base is converted
Heron Cottage was the best VRBO experience we have had to date. The house was immaculate as and up to date. We usually feel like we have to clean the dishes before we use them in most rentals, but Heron Cottage was so well maintained that we didn’t think twice about using the right of the shelf. The home was extremely comfortable. The A/C is efficient and super quiet. There house is extremely quiet. We slept with the windows open and were never bothered by noise. It truly is a wonderful experience. The owners have thought of everything and have taken great care to ensure that everyone needed was on hand!

Magic
This is my second time staying at this home and it won’t be our last. The house is immaculate, the location is so beautiful and peaceful and the hosts are the nicest ever! I asked about a floor fan for the sake of white noise and they made sure there was one there when we arrived! They’re flexible and gracious and I can’t wait for trip #3! If you’re thinking about this place, you won’t regret choosing it

Absolutely the perfect spot. The hosts Rick and Chris are very sweet and communicative. The house itself is well thought out and has all the things you could possibly think of. Sitting out on the back patio, drinking a cup of coffee and listening to the birds was perfect!

This beautiful cottage is very comfortable and cozy. The beds are also comfy, linens are great. It is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need for a week or a months stay! It is squeaky clean, dishes are beautiful and the views are amazing❤️. I am making another reservation for next week to bring my husband …just to relax and unwind💙. The wood work inside is gorgeous and…an old fashioned-but new-bathtub…so luxurious! Lights are all labeled so there is no guessing!! This place is pure heaven!!

A literal dream
This place is as peaceful as it gets. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s the cleanest vacation rental I’ve ever stayed at. The home feels very cozy and inviting with every single thing you could need/want. The location is very easy to get to but you feel in the middle of nowhere in the best way. To make it even better, the owners are the sweetest and most accommodating hosts I’ve ever worked with. Communication was wonderful and they were so friendly and warm themselves. I will be back very soon and if you’re even debating this home, you won’t regret it!

Excellent & Refreshing Cottage
Beautiful, cozy, and very well cared for property, inside and out. Rick and Chris made the cottage very warm and welcoming, giving attention and thought to every detail. My wife and I had a relaxing and refreshing time during our stay. The surrounding area of Meadow Vista, and the whole Sierra foothills, are an idyllic setting. We hope to return for another stay in the future!
