This place was so clean, cozy, and in a great location. Check-in and check-out were super easy. We had everything we needed. They thought of everything: coffee bar, extra throw blankets, stacked wood ready to be used inside and for the outdoor firepit. The outdoor patio area was beautiful and private.The beds were very comfortable too!Thank you for a great place to get away!

Chris and Rick were attentive to every single need of ours to make this the most enjoyable family reunion/vacation ever! They were more than accommodating. We loved every second of our stay. We enjoyed the beautiful cottage with every single thing we needed stocked, and the backyard BBQ, sitting out by the firepit, enjoying conversation with family members. We cannot say enough great things about what a wonderful experience this was. We will definitely return! Pat and Tim

We had such an amazing time at this peaceful little stay! The pictures don’t do it justice, the home was clean and in such an amazing location! We loved the wrap around patio looking out into the woods and all the lovely touches our host had. Everything was well stocked and everything we needed was stocked in the kitchen! Rick and Chris were great host and even reached out to us when we forgot something from our stay. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

Heron Cottage is truly a tranquil retreat! Chris and Rick are experts in the hospitality department. They have made Heron's Cottage a very special place that is warm and welcoming. Like the other reviews, we found the cottage to be very clean with much attention to detail. Heron's Cottage is by far the most enjoyable rental we have stayed in. If you need a place to stay in this area, this is the place!

Hosts show pride of ownership in every aspect of the property. Looks like new, super clean, nicely decorated. Their attention to detail in providing for their guests is extraordinary. Property includes fully equipped kitchen, multiple tables and chairs on the expansive deck, a fire pit, a propane BBQ, and even hiking gear. Wonderful stay.

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!

Heron Cottage was a true retreat! Rick and Chris were amazing hosts. The pictures don't do Heron Cottage justice! It was a lovely home with so many special touches, fresh flowers on the table and a wonderfully stocked kitchen. Everything from the linens to the dishes was excellent quality. We are trying to find another time to get back there.

It was a beautiful, clean and we'll maintained cottage in the middle of the woods amongst the foothills of the Sierra Mountains in Northern California. We have traveled the world and rarely had such comfortable accommodations anywhere.

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!

We enjoyed Heron Cottage. The location is quiet, clean, and close to a lot of different activities. The kitchen is well equipped, the outdoor seating and fire pit were enjoyable, the feeling of being in the trees was lovely. The house is cute and well taken care of. Everything was clean, labeled, and well organized. Would definitely stay here again.

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.

There is no other place I’ve returned to 4 times for weekend getaways. Heron Cottage is perfect. There really isn’t anything that could be improved. The hosts are very kind and thoughtful, and everything is in order. This cabin is spacious, very well appointed, comfortable and peaceful. I highly recommend making a reservation and exploring surrounding areas.

This place was far better than expected. It is immaculate (unbelievably clean) and peaceful. Bedrooms have a beautiful view of the trees. Everything is high quality, and you will find attention to detail where you least expect it, I could write a list. The best of all are the hosts. They are friendly and always looking for the best for you. We had a great time here.

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
