Private suite holiday rentals in Calaveras County

This is what serenity in the mountains is all about. Spectacular views, cozy, well appointed and genuinely nice people. I highly recommend.

The place was exactly what we were hoping for: personality, comfort, cleanliness. The owners were very responsive and friendly. Would have loved to stay longer!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful, start to finish. The place was gorgeous, extremely clean, and had everything you could need and more, all of the amenities were fantastic, we felt right at home. It was very peaceful and the property was so beautiful. Pat was one of the best hosts we have ever interacted with. Pat was very friendly, flexible, quick to respond, helpful, and generous. We cannot recommend this place enough. Would absolutely return here if we are ever back in the area. Thank you so much Pat for such an amazing and special stay.

Kamala’s place was a perfect base camp for my weekend fishing trip. The location was great: easy walking distance to restaurants, groceries, and other services. If you need a lot of luxuries or blazing fast WiFi maybe this isn’t your place, but if you’re looking for peace and quiet in the forest, than I highly recommend this place. What set the experience apart for me was the Sarah’s proactive communication and responsiveness.

From the moment we arrived at Whitto Mine Retreat, we were enchanted by the peaceful country setting along scenic Whitto Mine Road. Tucked away yet comfortably close to Sonora (about a 10–15 minute drive), the property felt like our own private haven. Cleanliness & Comfort: The guesthouse was immaculate—spotless floors, crisp linens, and a kitchen stocked with essentials. The queen bed was incredibly comfy, and the living area felt warm and welcoming after a day of exploring. One thing to note is the narrow, gravel approach road—it’s manageable but worth reading the host’s directions ahead of time. Also, cell reception is spotty (verizon was okay; AT&T didn’t work), but Wi‑Fi was consistent. Overall: Whitto Mine Retreat is a true gem—a clean, comfy, and peaceful guesthouse tucked in the foothills near Sonora. Ideal for couples or small families seeking a bit of rural charm with modern comfort and close proximity to downtown shops, Columbia Historic Park, and Yosemite (just ~90 min).

We had a wonderful time under the circumstances of losing the matriarch of our family. Mae’s place was a safe Haven for us to sit on the patio, sharing memories, and celebrating a wonderful life. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful space and for being so empathetic to what we were going through. I now know Airbnb is a way to connect with other humans and to expand our capacity for empathy. Thank you for all your understanding Mae. Absolutely wonderful place to stay.

Kathy’s place made it all feel like home (but cleaner and with better vibes 😄). Super comfy, quiet, and had everything we needed — plus the little touches were so thoughtful. Kathy, you're a rockstar host! 5 stars from us ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thanks for the amazing stay — we’ll definitely be back if we’re ever in the area again! – Mason & Ashley 🚗💖

This was a perfect escape for us into the big trees area in California! Rachel‘s place was exactly as pictured and felt cozy and welcoming. We showed up very late at night and struggled with finding the driveway, but most people show up earlier than us! The little cabin included lots of nice touches like board games, books, a puzzle, some cards, details on things to do in the area, and brand new high-speed Internet. We hope to visit again next time we are in California.

The place was serene. It’s a part of Plymouth that we had not explored. The scenery was bucolic. The place has all the essentials for 2 people and the kitchen was well equipped. . The bed was very comfortable and the shower had great pressure. We spilled a few ounces of wine in the bedroom. We were proactive and cleaned the carpet and sheets. They looked great when we were done. We reached out to the host about the issue and how we solved the problem. She was wonderful about it. It is difficult to find king size beds in the Plymouth area and even more difficult to find a well appointed place in a bucolic surroundings. We can’t wait to return .

Grear host! Easy to communicate!

We had a great two night stay for Yosemite firefall. Loved the hot tub. Appreciated the coffee, yogurt, and granola that was provided as a courtesy. Slept well. We would return if we were in the area!
