Very rural neighborhood. 25-30 minutes to Plymouth and Shenandoah Valley wine country. 35 minutes to downtown Placerville. 40 minutes to historic Sutter Creek. You will need a car to get to any neighboring towns. Local hiking directly adjacent to our property. You may want to bring hiking sticks if you’re interested in hiking to the beautiful Consumes River, which is about a 30 minute hike downhill from our property. Both of our dogs, Otto (an Anatolian Shepherd) and Lucia (an Australian cattle dog), will bark at you upon your arrival, but as they learn you are not a threat, they should settle down. Otto is a livestock guardian dog and protects our goats and sheep. He is an outside dog and sleeps outside at night. Please be aware that he may bark at night when wildlife is on or near our property. We will do everything we can to keep him as quiet as possible, but he is just doing his job. NO WiFi provided. We utilize our cell phones. Verizon and AT&T have good reception. Large TV with Amazon Firestick and DVD player provided. A limited selection of DVDs are available in the cottage, so feel free to bring your own favorites! Bring your own portable hot spot or a hot spot on your cell phone would be handy.
