This is our 4th time staying here. We love the fact we are allowed to bring our dogs and the back yard is fenced in. It's quiet and we sure look forward to coming back.
This is our favorite place for a weekend getaway and Kim is the most awesome hostess ever. She has truly thought of everything. We will continue to come back.
This is a great place to stay and itâs dog friendly. Close to Columbia State park and itâs a short drive to Jamestown and Sonora. It was very peaceful and so much wildlife to watch as we drank our coffee in am. Would recommend this place to anyone:)
Located perfectly for the areas we were looking to explore, old gold rush towns and nature trails. Nice to be away from everyone with the location of the bungalow. Nice to have such great parking right in front. The backyard was fenced in and very nicely filled with flowers, decor. Wildlife strolling by every day was fun to watch. The bungalow is equipped nicely with everything needed for a comfortable stay, including fresh eggs left there for us, thank you. Our old dog, "Daisy" loved it there as well. Loved our stay and hope to stay again.
Our two days in this comfortable cottage was absolutely delightful. The cottage has been well designed and thoughtfully equipped by congenial hosts. We appreciated the easy access for mobility-challenged seniors, and we enjoyed daily visits from the deer, birds, and turkeys (and a hopeful turkey vulture one day as well).There is lots of good info in a thick notebook Kim has prepared. History-rich Columbia is a fascinating place to visit, and if you're there at the right time, you can enjoy a Sierra Rep performance at the old Fallon House Theater as well. Enjoy your stay; we sure did!
My husband is a gold panner and wanted to go to Columbia. His favorite town. This cute bungalow was perfect so close to town and had everything they needed. Will definitely return
This little house is the one of the best places we've ever stayed in. Just up the road from the town of Columbia. And the mosaic backspash in the kitchen area is so beautiful! The cute little garden area outside on is so peaceful!
I stayed here for a week and then added two more days because I loved it so much. It is a very sweet, private cabin with a lovelybackyard from which youcan watch the turkeys and deer mosey on by.But my favorite was the absolutely gorgeous sunset every night.
Lovely, Peaceful Sanctuary - canât wait to return!
Bixel Bungalow was a wonderful place to stay. It was spotless, well-equipped with anything one might need and extremely comfortable. The thoughtfulness that has been put into the space canât be overstated. Itâs a place that makes you want to relax, and makes you feel at ease - despite being equipped with quality furnishings and beautiful local art. We brought our dog and she too enjoyed the space and lovely yard. Kim has thought of everything - including fresh eggs left for us to enjoy, onsite items for a pet (ex: a shelf of towels specifically for a dog), a thorough and extensive guest book that includes information about local sites, restaurants, activities and history. We were there for only an overnight but itâs a place so calming and relaxing we plan to return just for the purpose of staying there to read, write and relax. Kim made the process of booking, exiting and answering any questions simple and convenient. She was prompt, clear in her communications and thoughtful. I canât imagine anyone not enjoying this space and we look forward to returning soon! Thank you Kim!
We stayed the weekend before Christmas. Lots of activities and shopping in the town of Columbia and nearby Sonora. Excellent spot in the foothills with many birds to watch right out the door. The bungalow was immaculate (and nicely decorated with original artwork and mosaics) and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. We were warm and cozy in our little cottage!
The bungalow was perfect - clean, cozy, private with a fully fenced yard for our pup, too! Kim was a dream to work with. Only 20 minutes to Murphys, less than 45 minutes to Big Trees and walking distance to the cute historic town of Columbia. Just an awesome visit!
Charming cabin, very private, short distance to historic Columbia State Park lots of great walks. Plenty of activities in the area or perfect for just staying in for a night.
A lovely retreat! Wonderfully appointed one bedroom cottage. Everything you need. Multiple sources of caffeine which is always appreciated. Cream, sugar and fresh eggs! Wish we had stayed there a few more nights! We will be back to explore Colombia and recharge in this lovely space!
This was a return trip for us and it was as wonderful as the last time. They put in new furniture in the living area. While we were sitting on the patio, we saw a couple deer walking by and we also saw a turkey of all things. There were also some humming birds in the garden and we really liked watching them. This place has everything you could need for a comfortable stay, just need to bring some groceries. If you forget anything there is a SaveMart nearby in Sonora. The owners are really great and very responsive with communication. We'll definitely be back!
We enjoyed our stay for Mother's Day weekend. The house and property exceeded our expectations, and the location was central to many activities. We will be back again!!
