Rangpur Lime Shooters
(ala May Sunset Magazine)Time: 20 minutes, plus at least 2 hours to chill. Think of these shooters as a really, really good margarita you can pick up with your fingers (or a spoon). Just make them for your next party, and watch your guests' eyes light up. They're from Cal Stamenov, chef at Marinus restaurant at Bernardus Lodge, in Carmel Valley, California. Stamenov also likes to play with other flavor combinations, like Meyer lemon juice with vodka instead of tequila.
Serves 6
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup fresh Rangpur lime juice; or use 2/3 cup fresh lime juice plus 1/3 cup tangerine juice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- Ice
- 1/2 cup silver (white) tequila
- Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, or kosher salt (optional)
- Wedges of Rangpur lime (optional)
1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water. Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Add citrus juice and sugar; cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until steaming, 3 to 5 minutes. Nest pan in a bowl of ice water and stir until cool, then stir in tequila.
2. Line a 4 1/2- by 8 1/2-in. loaf pan with plastic wrap, letting wrap hang over ends. Pour citrus mixture into pan, cover with another piece of plastic (not touching mixture), and chill until firm, at least 2 hours and as long as 1 week.
3. Uncover pan. Holding ends of plastic wrap, lift gelled mixture on wrap onto a cutting board. Cut into 18 squares. Transfer to a plate. If you like, sprinkle with a little salt and garnish with lime wedges.

This work… oh my… thiiiiis work… thought it would be a death of me but wanted to finish it so much no matter what and finally FINALLY uh~
There was actually a sketch somewhere out here. Ah, here it is^-^) and a WIP… changed a lot, huh…
After so many centuries, Aithusa is nearly as large as Kilgharrah was… Merlin's developed magic had been able to heal the white dragon, relieving her of the crippled bones and stunted growth caused by her long captivity. He would always feel guilt for what Aithusa had suffered, though she felt nothing but love and gratitude for her kind, sad-eyed Dragonlord… Well, after many a tantrum about having to wait in dank caves and dense woods for Merlin's too-brief visits, he'd begun (with varying degrees of success) to transform Aithusa into a much smaller form so that she may visit him as well. He'll admit that it's nice to have some company while waiting for Arthur…
Ah, so I drew (and wrote) this in response to freyambrosius's request for "Merlin with cats"! Was gonna just draw him being smothered with random fat kitties, but then I got lost in deep head-canon territory, lol… Hope it's enjoyed! ^^
Anon asked: Could you draw Merlin and Arthur staying warm together?
This probably isn't what you meant exactly but it's Arthur trying to keep Merlin warm?? uvu;;
he looks like a happy little puppy
merlin + power growth
i mean what
…I want you to always be you.
Acceptance is the key to be truly free
Will you do the same for me?
Attack of the Slash Dragons and Gwaine and Morgana are shippers.
(….I got lazy with this one)
Best Merlin Quotes ∞ (no particular order)
…remember that kiss meme thingy from months ago (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)ིyourfriendlyneighborhoodstalker said: MERLIN ARTHUR #1 <3 (on the forehead)
I was in the mood to draw Merlin with an undercut again! Also, since buffycuddlespigs requested "some more tattooed Merlin" a while ago, I threw that in as well… Punk!Merlin was pretty much inevitable! x)
i still cant believe this is even a thing
round of applause for colin morgan everyone

We present a simple scheme to determine the diffusion properties of a thin slab of strongly scattering material by measuring the speckle contrast resulting from the transmission of a femtosecond pulse with controlled bandwidth. In contrast with previous methods, our scheme does not require time measurements nor interferometry. It is well adapted to the characterization of samples for pulse shaping, nonlinear excitation through scattering media, and biological imaging.

NIVNew International Version
1After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
4While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5"A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown."
When he said this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear."
9His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10He said, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,
" 'though seeing, they may not see;
though hearing, they may not understand.' # 10
Isaiah 6:9
11 "This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. 12Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Will Middlebrooks: 'I have to prepare like I'm the starting third baseman for the Red Sox' |
01.07.14 at 8:07 am ET |
A year ago, Will Middlebrooks' fate was seemingly etched in stone.
Working out at Athletes' Performance in the Dallas area, the third baseman was heading into the 2013 season carrying the expectation that he would not only be starting for the Red Sox, but serve as an important presence right in the heart of the team's batting order.
This, however, has been a very different offseason.
The good news for Middlebrooks is that there is no rehabilitation when it comes to his injured wrist, as was the case heading into last spring training. The injuries to his back and ribs have also fully healed, allowing for seamless workouts at Mike Boyle's facility in Woburn.
But, besides improved health and relocation, there has been one significant change this winter. Middlebrooks' existence as an everyday player for the Red Sox isn't nearly the slam dunk of a year ago.
He fully understands the situation: If Stephen Drew re-signs with the Red Sox, the presence of the veteran shortstop, along with Xander Bogaerts, makes the left side of the infield a crowded place.
"I haven't talked to anyone about it," he said. "I haven't even talked to Stephen. I have to prepare like I'm the starting third baseman for the Red Sox. So I'm going to prepare, because regardless of what happens I'm going to be playing baseball somewhere. I'm hoping it's in Boston because this is where I want to spend my career. I love it here. We'll see, but, like I said, I'm going to be playing baseball so I have to be ready."
It would be human nature to be distracted by the roster uncertainty, especially considering there are just 40 days until pitchers and catchers report. Middlebrooks, however, seemingly has managed to keep his peace of mind throughout the process.
"I wouldn't say it's hard," he explained. "I have enough trust and confidence in my ability that I'm going to have a job somewhere regardless of where it is. I want to be here. I don't want to go anywhere. I want to play in Boston. Every player's dream is to play on the team that has a chance to win the World Series every year, and not many people can say that. This is where I want to be. This is the group of veterans I was introduced to the big leagues with and these are the guys I want to play with."
What Middlebrooks has heading into his upcoming season (which will begin with a Feb. 1 arrival in Fort Myers) is the security of another professional season under his belt. It just so happened that that year included a World Series championship, and what seemed liked a decade full of setbacks.
He would play in just 94 major league games, hitting .227 with a .696 OPS but with 17 home runs. There were 45 more games with Triple-A Pawtucket, the place he somewhat reinvented himself before reemerging with the Red Sox in August.
"It's one of those things it was a year I wasn't happy with how things went. I'm just trying to get back to where I want to be baseball-wise," said the 25-year-old. "We won a World Series, which was great, and there was experience from that to gain. But what a lot of people don't see is when you struggle and don't do well, that's when you learn the most. It's all easy when you're doing well, it's a cakewalk. But when you struggle or try and play through an injury, that's when you really learn. It's nice when you're teammates are on your side. You really, really gain a lot of knowledge from it."
But after another step back surfaced in the postseason, with Bogaerts taking the everyday third base job throughout the World Series, Middlebrooks admittedly still needed some separation from the season to fully soak in the lessons learned from '13.
While last season was unfolding, it wasn't easy for the third baseman to digest the reality — for a second-year big leaguer things weren't all that bad. He not only had a World Series championship under his belt, but in basically a season's worth of games (169), his combined numbers came out to 32 home runs and a .756 OPS.
"Probably not until the season was over," he said when asked when he could fully appreciate the lessons learned last season. "I was so frustrated. Just knowing I was not the player I am. I was very frustrated. I wasn't happy with it. Probably a couple of weeks after the season was over I was able to sit back, look at it as a whole and really see what I learned from it.
"Most people would take that opportunity to be selfish about it. Honestly, for the most part, Major League Baseball is a very individual sport. That's why I think this team was so good this year because it was about the team, it was about the guy next to you. I honestly fully bought into that. I think that's something else that got me through this year. To be selfish would have been the easy way out, but that's not who I am."
And one talk, in particular, helped move along the maturation process, leading Middlebrooks to his current optimistic state.
"David Ortiz came to me and said, 'You think this is struggling? This isn't struggling. Struggling is when you're being paid millions of dollars, then it's hard. You're young. This is the beginning of your career. There's a learning curve. You're still very new to this league,' " the infielder remembered. "Just to hear him say, 'Everything is going to fine. Everybody has been down.' … I had so many guys help.
I'm really excited about getting on the field again. … I want to get with the coaches and get with the guys. I'm excited to get going again."

Drop all cases against Anecita Rojo and probe the military
Anecita Rojo is innocent of the charges filed against her by military forces in Negros Occidental.
She was nabbed by police intelligence operatives last December 7, 2012 without any warrant of arrest and was dragged out of a Church convent in Bago City.
She and more than 50 others were charged for the death of Lt. Archie Polenzo during an encounter between the NPA and the military on March 7, 2010.
The Office of the Chief Justice, through lawyer Ma. Lourdes Oliveros, chief-of staff of Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno,has already referred last February 12, 2013 the case of Rojo to Justice Sec. Leila De Lima for appropriate action while Commission on Human Rights chairperson Rosetta Ann Rosales was also furnished a copy of the letter.
In the light of this development, we request Secretary De Lima to hasten the dropping of charges against Rojo especially after Cadiz City Regional Trial Court Judge Renato Muñez has ordered the Cadiz City Prosecutor's Office to conduct a reinvestigation into the case.
We ask Secretary De Lima to order the immediate dropping of the charges since we believe that the case against Rojo is not in the interest of justice but a persecution of non-government and development workers who are working for the poor and the disadvantaged.
We also ask Chairperson Rosales to order a moto proprio investigation into the malicious prosecution of Rojo, development worker Zarah Alvarez and all others whose only crime, if it can be considered a crime, is to tirelessly work for and push for genuine social change.
This is a large-scale violation of human rights and we ask Rosales and her office to take a firm stand so that those who use the law to commit crimes against freedom and justice will be held to answer.

CHR Chairperson Loretta Ann P. Rosales - Department of Justice

Butterfly Garden
Our 15% off Friday Focus products at The Funkie Junkie Boutique this week are the filigree metals. I've been surfing the net looking for wholesalers for these fun little products and found some great prices which have allowed me to reduce the prices on most of the filigrees. Plus this week they are another 15% off.
I was responsible for doing our Friday Focus post over at Frilly and Funkie today so I put together this tag to highlight some of these fun products. All of the metals started out bronze and I altered them, which I dearly love to do :) For the butterflies at the top, I used the Weathered Copper Vintaj patina kit and then added a quick brush of the color Clay from the Rusted Hardware Vintaj patina kit to give it a little more verdigris feel - love the way they look with this treatment and so totally simple, you just paint it on. Moving down the tag, the white butterfly was something I had made for an earlier project but hadn't used. It was altered using the Ranger Antiquities embossing powder in Weathered White, then I sponged a bit of Vintage Photo over it because it was a bit too white for this piece. For the daisy, I painted it with Snow Cap Alcohol ink fixative and the leaves were painted with the Vintaj Weathered Copper patina kit, then all the pieces were sanded slightly.
And that's it. I just have so much fun using metals on my work. Of course they can be used in their original bronze color, but there are so many possibilities for altering them. One of my customers told me last week that she used the Tim Holtz Metallic Distress Stains to alter a bronze key and it came out terrific. I use embossing powders and the Vintaj patinas plus Alcohol Inks on occasion. So check out Friday Focus at The Funkie Junkie Boutique, it's a great time to stock up on these little gems!

It's better to have one good pair of shoes than a half dozen cheap ones, because the cheap ones look cheap even when they're new, but the new ones look good even when they're old. Quality by definition is the best you can get for your money. If you buy a pair of shoes for $500 and they last you 10 years, that's $50 per year. If you buy a pair for $100 and they last you six months, which was the more expensive? I think the Old Money WASP guys were just cheap, so they always bought the best.

A Human Element is an amazing fantasy that will have you screaming for more.
The beautiful cover is only a prelude to the wonderful story inside.
A Human Element by Donna Galanti
GENRE: Paranormal Suspense
To see my full review, go HERE, but I will give you a taste…
I felt such tension, suspense, fear and dread for the characters, that I was talking to them. Shouting at them. Telling them to watch out. He's coming.
I had thought A Human Element was paranormal, but it is so much more. They come from another place. A place out of this world.
I never saw the ending coming. Fantastic. I kept trying to figure it out and felt tortured and pained as I raced through the pages – I HAVE to know – now!
I am sitting here, finished, looking at nothing, in complete disbelief. Awesome! Donna Galanti's imagination knows no bounds.
5 Stars
Evil comes in many forms…
One by one, Laura Armstrong's friends and adoptive family members are being murdered, and despite her unique healing powers, she can do nothing to stop it. The savage killer haunts her dreams, tormenting her with the promise that she is next. Determined to find the killer, she follows her visions to the site of a crashed meteorite in her hometown. There, she meets Ben Fieldstone, who seeks answers about his parents' death the night the meteorite struck. In a race to stop a madman, they unravel a frightening secret that binds them together. But the killer's desire to destroy Laura face-to-face leads to a showdown that puts Laura and Ben's emotional relationship and Laura's pure spirit to the test. With the killer closing in, Laura discovers her destiny is linked to his, and she has two choices—redeem him or kill him.
The man could hear the child's bellowing cries coming from underneath the blanket covering it. She pushed the child into his arms as if eager to be rid of it. He took the bundle and handed the nurse his packages. The nurse began to close the door when he heard another far away cry.
The man wedged his foot in the door. "What was that?"
"N-Nothing." The nurse looked up.
The man risked looking her in the eye.
"The girl is in pain and won't keep quiet." She clutched the envelope and folded her arms across her sagging bosom.
"It sounded like another baby," he said.
"It's just the whimpering slut. Now she's paid double for what she's done." The nurse took a step back as if aware she had said too much already. She glared at him. "Now go on. You have what you wanted. And so do I." She shut the door in his face.
The man in black stood there for a long moment, considering the woman's choice of words. What if another child had been delivered and the frigid woman and country doctor kept it secret?
He decided to keep this information to himself. He would find the opportune time to use it. He was a patient man. But first, he had to see for himself. He peeled back the child's bunting and looked for the first time into its yellow eyes. For that moment, the baby fell silent.
"Welcome to Earth X-10."
The baby resumed its wailing.
The man turned with his noisy package and melted into the darkness satisfied, as the doctor had been, that the night's events had provided him with more than he had asked for.

Join America's favorite summertime tradition with Shark Week: Jawsome Encounters on DVD (and Digital) from Lionsgate. For the past 28 years, Discovery Channel has captured the world's attention with Shark Week, an annual televised event that explores the ocean's most magnificent and terrifying creatures. Featuring 13 fintastic episodes from the 2014 season (never before released on DVD) just in time for the new season of Shark Week!
I remember watching JAWS for the first time, as a child, at the drive-in theater with my parents. I was terrified, yet so intrigued and still am to this day as an adult. The shark still holds the mystery, fear, and respect that I felt towards it as a young child, but still I watch the JAWS movies and Shark Week over and over again. This new DVD is just as intriguing and captivating for me and I've watched it with my 11-year-old son, who loves the magnificent shark just as much as I do.
Get this new DVD at retailers everywhere and watch Shark Week on the Discovery Channel!

Creating a beautiful cake as a baby stroller/buggy can be an impressive way to celebrate the anticipated birth of a child and the mother-to-be. Of course, these cakes can be made for birthdays and other festivities as well. Stroller cakes can be flat, one-layer cakes, or they can be a standing three-dimensional design with wheels and a handle. Stroller designs are basically the same shape. Some are slightly more round than others, but all include the bed, wheels, handle and a small canopy.
Other People Are Reading
Flat Cake Designs
Flat, one-layer cake designs are the easiest and quickest ways to make stroller cakes. These designs can have rounded edges or you can make them from square or rectangular cakes. Cover large doughnuts in icing to make the wheels of the pram. Lay a small baby doll "inside" the carriage. Use lace and ribbons to trim the cake. Make canopies from a separate piece of cake, or even a small piece of fabric. You can also use hard candy to decorate the stroller.
Standing Cake Designs
A standing, or "upright," cake design is by far the most challenging to make. The bed portion of the stroller cake can be set directly on narrower strips of cake that are frosted at each end as "wheels," or it can sit on plastic tiers. The props can be hidden behind the stroller's wheels. To make the canopy, cut a round cake smaller, or cut a small piece of cloth and attach it to the cake with toothpicks. Pipe cleaners wrapped in ribbon make a great handle for the stroller. Use fondant can to make "ruffles."
Layers & Tiers
Layers can be added to most designs to feed a larger group of people. When creating a flat cake, layers can be stacked directly on top of each other with frosting between, or they can be stacked with tiers. Stacking several layers is the best way to create a freestanding stroller cake. If tier props are not available, stack the layers on top of each other on the platter; you can draw "wheels" with icing on the sides. If doughnuts are used as the wheels, they can be placed next to the bottom layer and attached with toothpicks.
Cut Outs vs. Cake Pans
Depending on your time restraints and decorating expertise, you may choose to purchase a stroller-shaped cake pan. These are available at stores that provide party supplies or some baking supply shops. That would be the quickest way to get the basic shape for a flat cake design. If you feel a little more daring or creative you can use your own basic baking pans and cut out the specific shape you need. When creating a standing cake design you may wish to cut out your own designs and use various sized baking pans. Draw your designs on heavy paper and cut them out. Then place them on your cake and cut around them.

We had a great experience. Everyone was really friendly, the straw bale cabin was clean and comfortable, and dinner was delicious vegetarian fare. We joined the evening meditation and afterwards took a night hike up the road. The stars were fantastic, and the Yuba River is just a 5 minute drive away. We wish we could've stayed longer but had to run first thing in the morning. Hope to return sometime!
Roger2016-09-26T00:00:00ZI had such a wonderful stay at Pleasant Valley Sanctuary. It's a beautiful spot in the hills, perfect for those seeking quiet time in nature. Good hiking and walks near by. The creek, which runs through the property, and the gardens (where much of what's eaten is grown) sets the scene. Jaime and the others there are kind and accommodating. After a few days and nights at Pleasant Valley, you will begin to feel renewed! I can't recommend it highly enough.
Katharine2014-02-27T00:00:00ZThe views were beautiful and the meals were exceptional. It was a nice quiet place to get away for a day.
Chelsea2015-08-31T00:00:00ZThe retreat center is special spot. We really enjoyed the privacy we were afforded within the communal setting as well as the healthy food and the kindness of the residents and interns. Although the separate bathrooms and small cabins don't lend themselves to a typical vacation experience, this is a great getaway if you're looking to have a more simple and communal experience.
Zeina2015-10-13T00:00:00ZWhile booking jamie was prompt and courteous. The space consists of a delightful yurt within a intentional community (mahayana-ish, western woowoo, yoga practitioners) of permanent to semi-transient residents. Upon arrival we were directed to the communal hub/ kitchen, took a brief tour with one of the more permanent residents, settled in and went to explore the yuba river and surrounding forests. The yurt was impeccably clean, well lit, comfortable and nestled within a chapparel/ interior live oak forest full of deer (one of which I fed kale for an hour or so; Jaime sorry if I engendered a desire for particulars of your garden) and curious, semi-feral cats . Overall we only had one point of contact; the initial tour of the grounds/facilities. I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a quiet, thoughtful environment.
Michael/Melissa2015-09-07T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay at the Pleasant Valley Sanctuary. We arrived and were greeted by one of the yoga interns, Katie. She showed us the grounds and gave us directions to the hike to the Yuba River. It was a nice hike, though very steep. We returned just in time for their tasty home-cooked dinner using many vegetables from the garden. We enjoyed conversation with the company of the other visitors and a few of the residents. The cabin was quaint and simple, and had a deck where we enjoyed the peaceful sounds of the mountains. In the morning there were a few deer in the meadow next to us. Overall a lovely stay. Though, unfortunately, we never got the chance to meet Jamie.
Casey2014-04-28T00:00:00ZBeautiful place, beautiful people. Was more than I could have asked for. The residents at the retreat center were excellent teachers of yoga and meditation and prepared delicious vegetarian food. They were warm and welcoming to us and offered helpful suggestions for hiking. The facilities were clean and the experience felt very intimate and rejuvenating. Look forward to visiting again!
Kyle2015-07-13T00:00:00ZWonderful place to relax and recharge! Lots of bugs so be prepared to bring bug spray. The outdoor shower is really cool, that was probably my favorite thing about the place. The hosts there are really nice and accommodating. It's a great location if you're looking to go swimming in the nearby water holes. The yurt itself gets kind of hot in the day, but cools off a lot at night. This is what I would consider glamping on a budget :)

Awesome again! MJ's place just feels like home, happy I was able to stay there again♡
Amy2016-06-24T00:00:00ZLoved her place as always, but more importantly, my 2 boys loved it too! They went on an acorn harvest walk and met the horses down her road and had a great time. And MJ is so thoughtful, she bought them their favorite sweet cereal (Lucky Charms) and grapes..she is just a wonderful host. And her sofa bed is the most comfortable one I have ever slept in!
Amy2016-07-16T00:00:00ZMj was very welcoming and provided clear directions for getting there. She remained in communicvia text and email and responded quickly to inquiries. The guest house and the surrounding property are very beautiful, better than what the pictures showed. The place was exceptionally clean.
Susanne2016-11-28T00:00:00ZMJ is a sweet and as my friends would describe her, an absolutely adorable person! She greeted us as we arrived onto her beautiful property where there were deer and birds wandering around! She gave us a quick and thorough tour of the property and the room, giving us a lot of tips on where to shop and things to do. I'd definitely stay here again! Also, check out the state park a short drive from her property! It has a beautiful river!
Kenny2017-01-06T00:00:00ZMJ is an amazing, wonderful hostess, with a fantastic room for rent. The location is beautiful, peaceful and enjoyable in a wooded/ranching area. We loved absolutely everything about this rental. Private entrance, private deck, private bathroom and kitchenette. We stayed for three nights. I have only stayed at four Airbnb locations, but this was the absolute best. Nestled in "Gold Country," with 20 wineries within 20 miles and with many outdoor activities available. One of the things we enjoyed the most was just sitting on the deck enjoying the wildlife.
Missi2016-06-29T00:00:00ZAs always, a very nice place to stay..I check in, take a deep breath, and feel like I am home! Mj is the hostess with the mostess♡. She always goes out of her way to be accommodating, and it is so appreciated, thank you Mj!
Amy2016-07-03T00:00:00ZMj is a great host. She made me feel at home, her cottage is so comfortable:) I would recommend staying at the cottage to everyone!
Amy2016-07-11T00:00:00ZLiked it so well, we extended the stay. This is exactly as advertised and a great place to stay.

We had a great time at this spot. It's definitely in the country and great for solitude. House was bigger than I imagined and was very clean. Yard was the perfect spot for your dog or kid to run and play and multiples tables and chairs for eating outdoors. Stacy was super available by phone. I hope to stay again!
Danielle2016-06-16T00:00:00ZStacy's home is wonderful! The house is very clean and the kitchen is fully stocked with any appliance you may need. Dining outside under the big oak or reading by the pond...this place is really special. Highly recommend!
Meredith2016-08-23T00:00:00ZAmazing experience!

Ben2016-12-05T00:00:00ZBeautiful, secluded place in the middle of the countryside! The pond and landscaping in the backyard is lovely, and the home is spacious and staged very well. Stacy was very responsive and was a great host!
Jennifer2016-10-05T00:00:00ZThank you Stacy for letting us enjoy your beautiful home. This is a truly a fabulous property, very well furnished and equipped with everything you need. My kids really enjoyed the pond. We loved our little weekend getaway so much we booked it for a week next month. Highly recommended!!! Thanks again!
Peter2016-06-13T00:00:00Ztastefully decorated; very well stocked kitchen; beautiful surroundings; very private and peaceful; no internet and cellular service (at least not with T-Mobile); extremely responsive host -- definitely recommend and will return in the future!

This is my third time coming back to this cabin - says it all! Such a beautiful spot, now becoming home to happy memories. This trip was the first time we took a dip in the pool and it was blissful as the sun went down.
Kathleen2016-08-05T00:00:00ZTara responded quickly to a last-minute late night request and made us feel welcome.
Georgio2016-03-19T00:00:00ZTara was great at communicating with us and making things clear and simple. We immediately felt welcome and relaxed.
Kimberley2015-09-08T00:00:00ZWe had another wonderful stay at Tara's cottage. It's perfect for our weekend getaways to Nevada City and the Yuba River.
Dustin2015-09-05T00:00:00ZWe feel lucky to have stayed in such a peaceful, relaxing place. Tara couldn't have made us any more welcome. Everything was as described and better. The bed was the best we stayed in on our 3 week trip and I couldn't fault a thing. I would love to stay here when I return to visit my family in the area again. Highly recommended!
Andrea2015-08-06T00:00:00ZPerfect for a weekend off the beaten path. It was quiet, lit by the sun, surrounded by winding roads. The listing was just as described; you have to see this place for yourself because it is far better in real life than in the photos. :) The property stays cool as it is surrounded by trees, so I would not worry about the lack of air conditioning. I did not want to leave the comfortable bed with soft sheets and a foam mattress topper. I loved my short stay here! Thank you Tara for hosting my first airbnb trip.
Vanessa2015-09-08T00:00:00ZLovely quiet spot to get away. Only sounds are the acorns falling on the tin roof, the horses and cows chewing in their pasture, the faint crunch of tires on a gravel road. Great escape in a lovely corner of the world.
Brendan2015-10-27T00:00:00ZWe loved the cottage! It was just as advertised and we felt very welcomed by Tara. We were in the area for a wedding and were looking for somewhere to spend the night. All the hotels were full, which turned out to be quite a blessing! Staying at the cottage instead made our weekend a true getaway. The location is lovely and peaceful! We enjoyed our morning tea on the porch and walk by the pond! Thank you Tara for a wonderful stay!

Samuel Harkous2016-12-16T00:00:00ZGeraldine is one of the most attentive and thoughtful hosts I've met. She's very responsive and it's clear she cares a lot about providing a great experience. She went above and beyond by recommending hikes, bringing us baked goods, and suggesting restaurants in the area. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying with Geraldine. You'll really enjoy your visit!
Dan2016-02-17T00:00:00ZGeraldine was great and her studio was just perfect for our needs. The space was clean, private and very peaceful. It had everything you need and the croissants offered were superb. We really enjoyed the our stay and will definitely be back in the future.
Nicole2016-03-28T00:00:00ZOur stay in Geraldine's studio was incredible. The space was bright, clean, welcoming, and well prepared for visitors. We enjoyed strolling down the pebble path to the local winery and dining at Cafe Collage. We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on the porch and the mellow atmosphere. We were pleasantry surprised by all the local beauty and charm. We were looking for a space to relax and found that in Oregon House. Highly Recommend!!
Christine2015-04-26T00:00:00ZOur stay at Geraldine's studio cottage was amazing. Geraldine took such great care of us at all stages of our visit. Before we arrived, she asked us questions and provided tips to make sure we got the most out of our trip. She helped us arrange a winery tour and dinner plans. She also provided several suggestions for hikes and park visits. Her guest book is a valuable resource. The studio is very clean and comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful. The room overlooks rolling hills with green bushes and trees. You can hear the sound of cows and lambs in the distance when you're relaxing in the hammock. In the morning, you wake up to songbirds and fresh air. Geraldine is a warm and gracious host that creates the best possible experience for her guests. We had a very relaxing stay and would recommend this property to all our friends.
Artin2015-06-23T00:00:00ZWhat a lovely stay! Geraldine was a fantastic host and was really welcoming. She gave my boyfriend and I a tour of the land then gave us the key to our room and let us be. There's a single cooktop, dishes, and a fridge so cooking is very easy! My boyfriend and I made spaghetti for dinner and then eggs and oatmeal for breakfast! Oh! Geraldine also provided delicious croissants and cow's milk. The room looked and smelled AMAZING. She had lotions and sprays that were so relaxing, what more could you want? We will definitely be coming back if we are in the area. We highly recommend her!
Kia2016-07-06T00:00:00ZGeraldine made us feel very welcome and was very accommodating! We enjoyed the patio that evening and the next morning. Our quick overnight stay was comfortable and relaxing; everything was as listed but with Geraldine's kindness added, which made it extra special (the croissants were delicious,too). So glad we chose Geraldine's place!
Michele2015-07-24T00:00:00ZWe loved this Airbnb! The studio is a perfect size, the deck outside is just beautiful and the surroundings so serene. Anyone staying here can't help but feel recharged. It is a small town so you can't expect a litany of restaraunts, however there is one incredible restaraunt -Cafe Collage, a French and Tunisian fusion run by a delightful man and Geraldine knows a local Patiserrie who will deliver artisan croissants to your door. I ate 4 of them in 2 days. Geraldine is also a wonderful host, oozing kindness and glowing happiness. She very much adds to the surrounding serenity. It is 44 min from Grass Valley but Highly recommended :)

Joerg's place is a great spot to getaway and live in a quiet environment. We enjoyed our stay but we recommend people bring food / snacks due to the lack of places to eat around the area.
Matthew2017-02-17T00:00:00ZJoerg is a kind and knowledgeable host who made me feel at home since the moment we first talked. His place exceeded my expectations beyond the photos and description. He is very practical and down to earth with excellent advise for things to do in the area. The arrival and overall experience went smooth as Joerg was very available and helpful. I am lucky to have found his place and will definitely come back soon. Strongly recommended!
Alain2016-09-02T00:00:00ZGreat place, great people! The apartment was really nice, large and high quality, with everything we needed. Bathtub, good heating, good internet. The owners were great, we had some fun. I'll be back in spring with my family for two weeks. Thanks guys!!
Gabriel2017-02-22T00:00:00Zvery cozy and quiet place
Sergey2016-09-28T00:00:00ZCozy and comfortable but not the best place to cook up a storm. Be prepared for minimalist living and bring some good books to read. Very quiet and great for unplugging and exploring the nearby Yuba river.
Kishen2016-11-26T00:00:00ZJoerg met us as we arrived and helped us find a suitable place to park our boat on the property. He then made sure that our bedding was taken care of. Joerg left us a bottle of wine in the refrigerator and made us feel at home. Joerg is a super friendly man and a pleasure to speak with.
Harry 2016-11-15T00:00:00ZAmazing experience! Joerg was a phenomenal host - made me feel welcome immediately upon arrival. Accommodated a late arrival and even greeted me in the driveway to help show me to the structure. There were beers and wine available to ease in after the long drive which was greatly appreciated! The place itself greatly exceeded expectations. More than enough space, unique and inviting layout and clearly brand new. The bedroom is sunken a couple steps down which gives it a cozy vibe but both the living area and bedroom had plenty of space for additional guests. I was pleased to find a fill-sized fridge and kitchen area stocked with everything you'd need for a quick meal. Joerg was able to provide some hiking locations and restaurants nearby to make the most of my stay. Highly recommend Joerg's place either for a romantic getaway or, like me, a weekend of solitude in a beautiful area.
Sean2016-09-22T00:00:00ZJoerg and Nancy were great hosts, friendly accommodating, and very responsive to messages and questions we had. Their dog Heidi, a German Shepherd was very friendly and welcomed us as well by wagging her tale. The beautiful newly build cottage is very specious and the 3 of us fit comfortably. It was very clean and quiet. They also provided all the basic necessities in the bathroom and kitchen along with water, a bottle of wine, beer, pasta, snacks and delicious almond cookies which we really appreciated! This place is very quiet and away from the streets. It is just a short drive to the Yuba River. During the night you can see the Milky Way Galaxy and giant stars that illuminate the sky. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Joerg's place!

Sue and Phil personally welcomed us to their guest apartment overlooking the lake. Sue took the time to walk us through the apartment to explain the amenities, how to start the fire in the fireplace, etc. The furnishings were nothing short of beautiful and Sue set up the rooms to to the finest detail. Everything in the bedrooms, bathrooms, living room and kitchen was provided. The location has to be the greatest along the lake, with a view on the patio and looking from the apartment out to the lakefront. The parking for our car was conveniently located in the driveway next to the apartment. We stayed in the area for almost a week over the Christmas holidays and we're already looking forward to visiting our children and grandchildren next time where we will certainly ask to stay here again!
Bryan2017-01-05T00:00:00ZI took a trip with my two kids Thanksgiving weekend. We wanted to relax and visit my boyfriend, his kids and extended family. To stay at Sue's beautiful "apartment" was such a treat. I'm so happy that we got to be the first guests to this great listing. The apartment is really an extension of a very beautiful large home, built as it's own space - a private entry, with well thought out accommodations for groups, families, couples, etc. The Rivenrock apartment is adjacent to the home of Sue and her husband Phil. It is a spacious 3 bedroom layout with a flowing decor, plenty of sleeping accommodations and comfort and luxury in every room. This is located on Lake Wildwood, a prestigious gated neighborhood in Penn Valley. We were thrilled that the apartment was so large and spread out. The common area was perfect for eating, cooking and hanging out by the fire to watch movies and play games. The kitchen was well equipped with t basic needs and plenty of plateware and cookware, etc... and major appliances so you're set cooking most meals. Each of us were very satisfied with our rooms and comfy beds, in fact each room had it's own bathroom. They were equipped with spa like amenities such as a steam shower and a jacuzzi bath - what a treat. The house itself is on the lake front as you can see from the photos. Waking up to that gorgeous view was breathtaking. You are able to get to the dock and waterfront within a minute or so, by just walking down the stairs within the property. About the hosts... Sue and Phil were so sweet and genuine. Sue provided me with information on everything I needed ahead of time to have a great stay and really went out of her way to make us feel so welcome. The kids were really excited that she invited them into her house to play ping pong during a rainy day. That extra touch was very meaningful and appreciated. Overall this was a fantastic, relaxing trip in a gorgeous apartment. Visiting will leave you feeling like you stayed at a 5 star hotel. We will be back soon. Thank you so much Sue and Phil!

Elisabetta and Julian were fantastic hosts! Their directions to the house were accurate and included pictures (very helpful). The cottage itself was everything it promised to be. Quaint, cozy, with all necessary amenities. The yard is private, with grass that felt like carpet. It was the perfect place to relax. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. We're already planning a return trip!
Tyler2016-09-27T00:00:00ZThe cottage is amazing! It's private, quiet, and clean, but the best part of this home is the hammock waiting for you in the private outdoor space. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway then this is the spot! There are also a lot of nice little lakes in the area with amazing hiking trails. It's definitely a hidden gem!
Dana2016-10-10T00:00:00ZIf you're looking for a secluded private vacation for two this is perfect spot. My fiance and I were celebrating our anniversary and it couldn't have been better. Elisabetta and Julian greeted us with a lovely card & sparkling wine. In the morning offered us complementary authentic cappuccino when we bought their delicious homemade croissants. They even brought us a beautiful orchid. Elisabetta made us reservations for our anniversary dinner at the local restaurant (do order their spinach ravioli- best I've ever had) The bed was very comfortable and firm (just how we like it). The cottage itself is small, secluded and peaceful, just what we were looking for. You can tell Elisabetta has great taste in decoration too. The kitchenette is small but fully equipped to make quick meals such as scrambled eggs. But the best part is how attentive the hosts are. They will make you feel welcome and provide for anything you might need. 100% recommend any couple staying here.
Francisco2017-02-21T00:00:00ZThe neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Actually the cottage looks sweeter in person. It is tastefully done and comfortable. We felt very relaxed there and enjoyed resting in the two person hammock while watching the night sky. When we come back, this is where we will stay.
Dave2016-09-25T00:00:00ZRented this nice little cottage for my parents over Thanksgiving as we were spending the holiday with my in-laws and there simply wasn't enough room for everyone to sleep. This place was perfect...cozy, quiet, private, and clean. The hosts, Elisabetta and Julian were very friendly and had great communication from beginning to end. This place is would be great for anybody looking to get away and decompress from the hustle and bustle of life.
Daniel2016-11-28T00:00:00ZThe photos really do not do Elisabetta and Julian's cottage justice. The space is small but well-appointed and furnished with a great sense of style and attention to comfort — everything has its place and you can tell Elisabetta and Julian took great care in making it a homey space for guests. We only had a short stay and didn't spend much time at the cottage as we were visiting family nearby but we found the space very warm, cozy, and private. The outdoor patio is nice and you have your own separate enclosed yard. We wished we had more time to enjoy the hammock! As for the hosts, we cannot rate them more highly. They were incredibly kind and accommodating, communicative, and very flexible and understanding when we had to arrive late. When we arrived (after following their very helpful, detailed directions), they welcomed us to the cottage and made us feel right at home. After our long, weary journey, it was so nice to step into their peaceful rural oasis, already pre-warmed and made up for us. I highly recommend them as hosts!
Alissa2016-10-19T00:00:00ZIf you want a relaxing and quiet get-a-way, this is the place! I went there to get some writing done, and it was perfect! And Elisabetta was a wonderful host! Always available and responsive. And so very welcoming. The cottage is amazing! It's all modern and new, and super clean. You have at least 2 of everything, cups, glasses, etc. and the things were actually nice. There was a cutting knife that actually cut! The place was decorated and put together with a lot of thought and attention to detail, from a little tea set to the choice of shower products. What the picture from the yard doesn't tell you is that that is your own little private patio and yard. There's a hammock, also not well visible in the picture, which is super comfy and will relax you within a minute! The place is technically in the woods, you can't hear a thing! There's a small store down the road that even sells some locally made goods. There is great hiking just a 10min drive up the road at Emerald Cove, I went for a run there on the trail along the lake which was just wonderful. Yuba Harvest Cafe serves very good grass fed burgers, sweet little place that tries to source locally when possible. I was not able to check out Cafe Collage down the road, but I will next time. Elisabetta also set me up with a massage Therapist down the road, Camilla (not even a 5min drive). World class! And I've had massages all over the world, literally. I went back the next day for another one. A little detail that I really enjoyed, Elisabetta is originally from Italy, and Camilla is originally from the Netherlands. Supposedly there is quite an international community there. I'm also originally from Europe, and I love to meet people from other places. I hope I can go back again before I leave the state!
Alice2016-10-06T00:00:00ZElisabetta and Julian were absolutely wonderful Airbnb hosts! They were incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about the area. We were in town just to explore a new part of Northern California and Oregon House was the perfect place to visit. There were beautiful hikes, Cafe Collage (a great local restaurant), and nearby towns like Nevada City. The Bamboo Cottage was such a relaxing place to stay, it was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. I highly recommend staying at the Bamboo Cottage!

A darling cottage with a fantastic kitchen and comfy bed you won't want to leave behind! Anne & Salim met us at check in and were warm and welcoming. The place was a great jumping off point for some adventuring through nearby towns during the day (Nevada City, Downieville) but such a comfortable place to stay cozied in to cook at night. Lovely decor too!
Lauren2017-01-03T00:00:00ZAnne and Salim's home was a perfect getaway for my wife and I. They welcomed us at the home with warm tea and gave us a tour of the house and property. The next morning Anne brought us some fresh croissants which were excellent. We were not able to make it to Salim's restaurant down the street, but it looked and sounded amazing so we will definitely be sure to try next time we are in town. I highly recommend booking with Anne and Salim.
kevin2016-04-11T00:00:00ZI had an excellent experience! The house is gorgeous and much nicer than the photos. Salim was incredibly accommodating. So glad I stayed here.
Joe 2016-06-28T00:00:00ZThanks Anne & Salim for being such great hosts! We had a great and relaxing 3 day weekend from the hustle and bustle of the city! Thanks for your great hospitality and great conversations!!! Thanks for introducing us to Lola, she's adorable! Your place was a perfect getaway! Thanks again! We hope to be back during the summer!
Savathdy2017-01-02T00:00:00ZVery tidy and serene. Salim was in touch and able to meet us with the keys. Hosting was above and beyond my expectations and when we arrived late afternoon there was a chilled bottle of white wine and some salty snacks waiting for us in the kitchen.
Rebecca2016-07-22T00:00:00ZIt was an impressive memory spending my vacation time here. Anne & Salim offered me so nice and warm welcome. I appreciate everything they did, from supplying foods to keeping in touch with me, to make me feel home and secured. The house and all rooms are also amazingly beautiful with glamorous decoration. So private and quiet that anyone can find a true relax. I wish I could have more time. (And sorry Anne & Salim that I couldn't make it for your lunch invitation on the last day….so dense schedule and too much fresh ingredients I bought.)
Pea2016-01-11T00:00:00ZI've been lucky enough to travel a lot and experience many different accommodations in my life. My experience at Anne and Salim's perfect little cottage was magical. From the amazing attention to decoration detail to their warm and loving hospitality, the experience was truly one of a kind. I can't recommend his place enough. I'll be back FOR SURE.
Daniel2016-06-09T00:00:00ZThis lovely 2 bedroom home is located in the quiet countryside of Northern California. It has recently been totally renovated and radiates taste and charm. Don't miss a chance to have a meal at the host's restaurant located minutes away on the same road. The food and wine was superb. Salim and Anne are wonderful hosts and will make you feel right at home. It has good internet if you need to work. However, no TV, so bring a good book and make yourself cosy. I rather enjoyed a few days without the news!

This house is Amazingly great for us. It has great rooms and surroundings. We walk around the pond with nice view. Very relaxing. Inside was full of stock of staff such as things in the fridge and a dozen of farm eggs from the owner. They gave us another dozen when we leave. Alicia and Brandon were so nice in hosting us. They have changed the trundle bed to a queen size before we arrived. Thank you for all their efforts. Definitely recommend to anyone who want to have a nice vacation on the foothill of sierras.

Colette warmly welcomed us to her exquisite home, which was perched on a hill with a spectacular view of the foothills. During our stay, we had some problems with the water, but Colette, despite being far away, sent people over to remedy the issue right away. She was responsive and proactive, and our experience was hardly affected. Her lovely home is beautifully decorated, the air was fresh, and the area very peaceful for a relaxing time away. Thank you, Colette!
Rosie2016-11-29T00:00:00ZMy husband and I had a wonderful stay at Colette's beautiful Oregon House. Geraldine, the house manager was very accommodating on our late arrival and even left us fresh milk from her farm next door. The house and property was exactly as described in the listing and we will stay again on our next trip to the area. Thank you Colette and Geraldine!!
Jim2016-07-02T00:00:00ZGeraldine, Colette's house manager, is delightful and so helpful. Having stayed here before I didn't think it could get any better. The only difference was a longer stay this time, which simply made the place better. The area is full of low key, simple pleasures, far from any 'nightlife' which is just what we were looking for. Another lovely visit!
Kristin2016-09-06T00:00:00ZMy fiancé and I enjoyed staying here more than we could have ever imagined! Everything about this place is wonderful. Geraldine, Colette's friend/neighbor took very good care of us during our stay. The house is full of great books, beautiful furniture, and great art. Best of all was the terrace overlooking beautiful green mountains. It was so peaceful and quiet and very private.
Liz2016-07-25T00:00:00ZI loved staying at Colette's place and Geraldine was fantastic on logistics. Honey and Ebony were a treat too.
chris2016-08-25T00:00:00ZWe had a fantastic stay at Colette's. Our only regret is that we only stayed 8 nights and not longer. Colette was out of town but Geraldine organized a very smooth arrival for us. The information book she left was very helpful for finding good restaurants like Salim's fantastic Cafe Collage open from Thursday till Sunday. Also don't miss Lake Francis with its breathtaking views and the nearby Harvest Cafe. The house was very clean and very comfortable. Colette's house is a real French lady's house with all her personal amenities and goods. We rather felt at home and responsible for taking good care of her nest and the two cats who live outside of the house. The best part was enjoying the amazing view and the serenity of this little town. The weather was warm in the day and cool at night and remember that you're in nature because you'll see many birds and bugs and the neighbors are far from each other although the one's we met were very kind. The king bed is extremely comfortable and the bathroom spacious however watch your water consumption because we have a drought in California. The Wifi was great as well as her sound system with the many CD's to choose from although the best is to leave all electronic devices back home in the city. We highly recommend this house and location and would love to come back soon. Thank you Colette & Geraldine.
Steve Stepan2016-08-10T00:00:00ZWhat an absolutely superb place! Incredible house - well decorated, clean, comfortable, everything you could need. Amazing view of the valley. And just a terrific host. Really good value too. Can't recommend this place enough!
Ron2016-12-28T00:00:00ZColette was very warm and welcoming, and gave us wonderful details about her cottage and the surrounding area. The cottage was amazing; not only was it beautiful, but it was filled with delightful antiques, every accessary imaginable, including magnificent books, and it was located in a very private and lovely location. The resident cats were just the perfect touch to make it feel like home, they greeter us after ever trip (I think they just wanted more food-LOL)! We really enjoyed celebrating out 52th wedding anniversary in this magical home. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. Dick and Sharon

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
WilliamJesse was a lovely host - greeted us with enthusiasm and warmth and was very responsive to our needs and requests throughout our stay. He added some personal touches that really helped us feel heard and attended to. The actual home that Jesse has created is pretty amazing, glamorous indeed, as far as camping goes. Beautiful vistas, and a layout complete with both practical and tasteful amenities that were clearly well planned. The price felt a little steep, and yet we are so glad we went. We loved our trip and highly recommend it.
Alexis2016-06-13T00:00:00ZReally enjoyed our stay up at Jesse's place! The arrival was smooth, the place well-taken care of, and the experience truly unique. Being close to the river was perfect, and we had no trouble finding plenty to do on the property itself. Highly recommend this spot!
Frank2016-07-18T00:00:00ZJesse was a true delight and nothing but a generous and thoughtful host. The property was gorgeous and the waterfall -wow. There is nothing I can say bad about Jesse or he's place. You can tell he has put a lot of work, devotion and love into his property. I would nothing but recommend this magical and stunning place. It was a true blessing to find such a great place to crash for a few nights while staring up at the stars.
Madison2015-10-15T00:00:00ZJesse and Sonya were so great to work with. They were very easy to communicate with from the start and during our visit. We were two families traveling with 4 young children + dogs and had a lot of questions. They did a fantastic job making us feel welcome and well taken care of. The spot is beautiful but can be very hot. That's why it was so great that they had canopies set up to keep the sun off -- and of course a dip in the swimming hole was refreshing, too. Having the large tent, mini fridge, bathroom in the RV, grill etc made "camping" with small children much easier than the alternative. The only thing I would say is that the campsite is built into a hill and has the water very close (both of which are very clear in the description) so if you have very young children a pack-n-play/crib is crucial for safety (and for the parents to enjoy themselves as well :). We'll definitely be back!
Ragan2016-07-27T00:00:00Zfirst off, while being a little bit pricey for my cheap self, Jesse's place was fantastic and still a good value for a tremendous experience. The waterfall was nice and isolated and the whole place was exactly what i imagined it would be. This is probably not a place for everyone, but if you like what you see, i can say that it is definitely that and more! We had a bit of communication difficultites when first arriving, but Jesse and Sonya were extremely gracious hosts, and after arriving were determined to work out what we needed. With our concerns met and our satisfaction exceeded, my wife and i were more than happy to recommend this site and these hosts to everyone. they truly cared about our needs and greatly enjoyed sharing their little slice of paradise with us. The waterfall was breathtaking, and the lights at night were very romantic as well. My wife also demanded that i brag on how great the coffee maker and the provided coffee was. Jesse has great plans on expanding and making this place even greater, and i would love the opportunity to try coming back later to see his vision come to fruition. Great hosts, caring people, and a unforgettable paradise.
Sam2016-08-16T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful time at this waterfall-centric space! Falling asleep next to the waterfall was a dream. We really enjoyed grilling and making food, and it was so nice to have a fridge while out in nature. This place was incredible for our large group of dogs, who were able to roam off leash with us nearby and explore so happily. Air mattresses were super comfy and we enjoyed the little hike up to the sunset spot. We just had some trouble checking in--not Sonya or Jesse's fault, but the property got messed up by guests the night before, so we had to wait several hours for check in, but the hosts compensated us money back. Jesse was accommodating in getting new chairs for our group and a gazebo so the people camping could have some shade during the day. Weather was perfect and it was very convenient to be down the road from the Shell where we could get additional ice for our coolers. Unfortunately, we had problems working the outdoor shower/tub and the water pump stopped working. Jesse sent someone to fix it a few hours later. In the meantime, we got water from the springs a few miles away for free! I'd say this property is indeed magical but felt in transition to us. The hosts were very very nice and accommodating with all of the issues we ran into. Jesse even brought us an extra air mattress and coffee cups :) Sonya was amazing in talking to me days leading up to it to accommodate our large group. Also...lots of yellow jackets in the summer! Be wary! Tiki torches around the property were very effective in keeping away any mosquitoes.
Lucy2016-08-10T00:00:00ZJesse and Noah were wonderful hosts, we enjoyed our stay immensely, thanks to the spectacular landscape and their super hospitality. Because the land has been in the family for generations (and Jesse works to keep it that way), their knowledge, devotion, and love truly manifests during your stay.. an all around awesome experience!

The place is amazing and Lisa was wonderful and responsive host. The views are spectacular, and as the description says there are no curtains so it does get very bright in the mornings (the house faces the rising sun), so pack your eye masks if this is going to bother you.
Mitchell2016-07-23T00:00:00ZMy family and I came to stay 2 days during the Christmas break up until Christmas Eve. This house is very beautiful, clean and spacious and georgous view of Lake Wildwood, but unfortunately we will not be back. Unfortunately the whole downstairs was freezing and very uncomfortable. The heater was not working and the kids could not enjoy their own space, rooms or tv / lounge area. They also couldn't shower or bathe since it was so uncomfortably cold. They slept with lots of layers in and lots of blankets, complaining about how cold they were. The next day the host Lisa advised that the heating company would be there to take a look... turned out the entire heater had to be replaced. 4 men were coming in and out of the house, smoking and leaving doors wide open in very cold wet weather for about 4 hours. I also had to speak with them throughout the day which made me feel like I couldn't relax. The inconvenience of having them around was not fun and disrupted our family vacation. I asked Lisa for a discount for the trouble and she denied this request and said that she could "find my family a hotel". While I understand things happen in homes, I was taken aback by Lisa's cold response and lack of empathy during our communication about the issues. It was a big stress, dissapointment and disruption to have to deal with for half of our stay, but Lisa stated it as a minor issue. I could have easily gotten over the heating issue or decline of a discount ...Having hosted many times myself I know and feel that the care, warmth and attention you give to your guests is paramount to a great trip. And we did not receive that. In short, we didn't have a great stay... the house is beautiful, but I won't be back due to the negative experience both in the house and with Lisa. I've seen other negative reviews about Lisa, so I hope this will help improve the situation.
Sonya2017-01-06T00:00:00ZSuch a great experience! Great communication with Lisa, beautiful home, well equipped and very comfortable- magic Thanksgiving!!
Mary Jo2016-11-28T00:00:00ZMy family and I LOVED everything about this house! The beauty, style & location is exquisite! Our group included my 92 yr old uncle who managed to avoid stairs because his beautiful, huge room with bath was on the main level. The lower level rooms were equally large & lovely, with amazing lake views. We had no problem keeping warm and comfortable in all areas of the home. We cooked a delicious pasta and bruschetta, had wonderful breakfasts, played games, enjoyed a football game on one of several t.vs, and especially enjoyed the views of the lake and sunrise vistas. The house was fully equipped with bright dishes & mugs, pots & pans, & big kitchen workspace; plenty of towels, nice linens, and beautifully decorated. I chose this place for the 8 of us & as each one arrived they were stunned by the beauty & size of the place, and it's amazing views from most every room. Lisa was prompt to respond to any question, and was so very gracious and kind. We had absolutely nothing unresolved, and our stay, and our host Lisa, couldn't have been more perfect! This is exactly what our family needed, and was more than I dreamed. Thank you, Lisa!
Maria2017-01-17T00:00:00ZHow was great (massive, with amazing view). And Lisa was terrific.

David and Lisa2015-04-16T00:00:00ZRich was an amazing host. The room was perfect. It was quiet, private and very cozy. The ranch was a fun getaway for us city folk. Thank you Rich for letting us into your home, being so hospitable, and cooking up fantastic breakfasts.
Lisa2015-09-08T00:00:00ZLoved The Three Sisters Ranch. Rich made us feel right at home. Gave us a tour around the ranch, directed us to where some of the historic sites are, and some great places to go if we wanted to do some shopping and places to eat. His breakfast was so good with food from his ranch. We had no schedule so we could be early risers or could sleep in and hewas willing to accomodate our schedule with breakfast. When I get a chance to go back to the Grass Valley area, The Three Sisters Ranch will be at the top of my list to stay.
Kim2015-02-07T00:00:00ZRich is a warm & generous host. Vacationing at "Three Sisters Ranch" was more like a home away from home. Rich's local knowledge and willingness to share makes planning the vacation a breeze. Rich and his 3 adorable dogs were there to welcome us on our arrival. We being vegetarians, Rich was accommodative by preparing healthy and tasty vegetarian breakfast for all of us. He helped us with a hand drawn map of local scenic spots and that guided us through out the vacation. Three Sisters Ranch is set in a beautiful location with easy access to a lot of scenic places. The ranch is well maintained and the home is clean with an unique charm of its own. The serene setting with grasslands & cattle grazing makes it an ideal location to unwind and relax. In short, we were made to feel very much part of the home and it was hard to bid farewell and head back! Thank you Rich for the wonderful vacation, we will be returning soon.
Dhruva2015-12-31T00:00:00ZBrian was very hospitable, he waited for us despite the late arrival time, everything was ready for us and was as described. The ranch is vast and lovely. Our dbl bed was comfy, room nice and there was enough space for three of us with extra living room. Brian was very friendly, gave us many suggestions, catered to our desires with specially prepared breakfast (fresh baked corn bread and smoothies!), told us many interesting things about the area. We felt welcome in his home and had a nice stay.
irena2015-07-30T00:00:00ZRich was very jovial and helpful to discover the area and to find the interesting spots and entertainments. I loved the authenticity, tranquility and the peacefulness of Rich's ranch, with the cows ruminating in the field below. The breakfast was a treat with the produces of the ranch. I enjoyed my stay at the 3 sisters Ranch even though it took a little while for the heat from the living room fireplace to go up the bedroom upstairs. I recommend this place, Rich is a wonderful host.
cecile2015-12-11T00:00:00ZWe chose to stay at Three Sisters Ranch because we wanted to be close to the outdoors, in a quiet environment away from towns and cities, and have access to beautiful mountain streams and rivers. Okay, so far so perfect. We also were pleased with the prospect of being on a small farm, because both my wife and I had that experience as children. This farm was ideal for that. We were hoping for spacious, comfortable accommodations with a homey atmosphere. Check. And we thought it would be a welcome bonus if the host were congenial and interesting, and could make a good farm breakfast. Couldn't have done better!
