This airy home was base for a week in Calaveras County for me and a friend. It is far enough away from the downtown and highway that when sitting on the deck, you enjoy the chatter of the birds in the trees. The beds are comfortable, and after a long hike in the woods, the Jacuzzi tub feels great. The grocery store is about an 8 minute walk, and another 8 minutes to the Murphys Hotel at the heart of Main Street. The kitchen is adequately supplied for basic meal preparation. We visited San Andreas and Angels Camp, and Murphys seems to have the liveliest Main Street with lots of places to eat and taste wine. We liked lunch at Grounds. The Sequoia redwoods at Calaveras Big Trees State Park are spectacular. We were lucky to have this and another day hike before a prescribed burn turned the air smokey. Communication with the host was good. I would be happy to stay here again.
