What a great surprise in small-town Sonora. The hosts have really thought of everything--well above and beyond the basics. Everything is impeccably clean, the patio and yard are an oasis with the ducks and chickens and doves below. Both bedrooms are very clean and comfortable as are the bathrooms with deluxe, blue-light bidet seats. Our hosts were great at showing us the place, making us feel at home, and then remaining discreet during our stay. Both they and their home are rare gems.

Villa Sierra was part of a wonderful introduction to Sonora. Communication was outstanding, Radim met us upon arrival, helped with bags and gave us a quick tour. The place was spotless, and they clearly have thought of everything. The home was welcoming - well stocked and very comfortable. A home made pie and bottle of wine was part of our welcome, as was a stocked refrigerator and snacks (some complimentary, some for a small fee). LR area was expansive and comfortable, beds were wonderful, towels cozy, shower and amenities very nice. Great wi-fi as well as on demand channels for use. The location is less than 1/2 mile from main street in Sonora so super convenient. There are a set of stairs to access the home, so be aware if that's an issue for your party. Make sure you spend some time on the deck and look for some of the wonderfully unique chickens they have! Would definitely recommend and return - thank you Radim for such a lovely visit.

We loved our stay here. Radim is a wonderful host. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, fresh eggs and lots of chocolates. House smells divine and has a very beautiful patio with lots of flowers/greenery in it. I’d definitely like to go back to Sonora just to live in this place again. One thing that I do not like is the misunderstanding between Expedia and the host though. I had to pay extra because Expedia didn’t communicate the number of guests we had in our party to the host and they have different price policy for the house based on the number of guests.

Love it! A+
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house! It was perfect for our girls weekend gateway. Hosts were so attentive, friendly and accommodating. We have fresh eggs from their house chickens for breakfast, house was stocked with fresh fruits, food, drinks and lots of variety of chocolate. Some of the items were complimentary, while others were available for purchase at a very reasonable price. It saved us a trip to the grocery store, good selection! They even had non-dairy ice cream(which my vegan friend was stocked about) All you need for comfortable stay was provided, beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms clean and stocked with shampoos and soaps. But most importantly convenient location, just couple hours drive from Yosemite down the scenic view road. Definitely recommend this house and their hosts A+ job!

What a wonderful experience, from the moment we arrived. We were greeted by the host who helped us with our luggage (with face shield and gloves). The villa was beautifully prepared and we appreciated the fresh eggs, veggies and food that was available after a long cross country flight + 2 hr drive. My mother and I were travelling for my brother's funeral, and the kindness and hospitality was a blessing. We had the whole back deck overlooking the chicken coup and garden, and plenty of indoor space. We were so busy during our brief stay that we didn't have time to grocery shop or dine locally, so we were so appreciative of the loaded fridge and freezer (very reasonably priced items). We would love to return for a longer stay and to enjoy Senora and local areas (when covid 19 is not an issue) I highly recommend this sweet spot! Just be careful if your traveling with physically impaired, there are several steps to navigate to get down from the road.

Incredible Stay
Absolutely incredible stay! The house was comfortable and spacious, and very clean. The hosts were so kind to us, showed us around the property (and used PPE), offered us fresh eggs and vegetables from their chickens/garden, and had a plethora of for-purchase snacks and drinks in the house (at an extremely reasonable price too). The house is wonderfully decorated, quiet, with a lovely patio to sit outside and enjoy nature. The patio itself has a grill and chairs/tables, etc. Basically anything you could want in a home is available here. We used the house as a “home base” between San Francisco, Yosemite, Rainbow Pools (recommenced to us by the host), and King’s Canyon.

We really enjoyed a mountain getaway to Sonora. This home was a little oasis off the beaten track of Hwy 49 that gave us easy access to caving, Calaveras Big Trees and golf was great. It’s was as beautifully designed inside as the pictures showed, we did not spend time outdoors... the hosts were very kind and welcoming. We would stay here again.
