About this property

Riverfront Cabin in Coloma!

Located on a quiet eddy at the river's bend, this updated 1946 cabin on 4 acres is the perfect mix of hidden solitude and in-town location. Come dip in the river, play in the creek, lay in the sand, launch or land your craft! Fish, pan for gold, play fetch with Fido! Watch rafts, kayaks, SUP's float down the river--from the beach, covered deck, or living room. This cabin features 3 bedrooms and a large living room; the separate guest house may also be rented to provide a private, charming 4th bedroom. You will fall asleep to the sound of the river and babbling creek below! For larger parties a second cabin on the property may be available; cabins are situated to ensure full privacy yet offer convenient access if desired. Many activities and sightseeing opportunities abound locally--Gold Rush history, rafting, biking, hiking, and other Wild West adventures!

Disappointing Owner experience
We booked this cabin based on the room situation as listed for our family. Upon arrival, 2 of the 4 rooms were not as described and to add to this, the cleanliness was substandard. With the number of places available on VRBO, I would look elsewhere.

Great house, close to nature, very private
We were a multigenerational party of 8 and had a great time at this house. The location is perfect; the area has a lot to offer for a variety of interests (Placerville, rafting, Sutter Mill). However, we spent a few days just lazing on the river and relaxing, which appealed to all age groups. The house and property were as described on the website - no surprises. We especially valued the dining table where we could all eat together as well as a comfortable living room area where we could play games evenings. Jane was great and answered all our questions, and responded quickly during our stay as well. We would love to visit again!

Great riverside location. The property owner is the very close neighbor. Cute decor, comfortable. Nice shady porch, great view, Don’t damage anything, take a video of the house before you settle in so you don’t pay for damage someone else did.

So peaceful!
We had another delightful stay at Camp Lotus. We miss it already! The location is awesome with great river access. We spent many hours floating in blissful quiet, though the kids had a blast rafting and it is fun to watch rafters sailing by on the weekend days. The house itself is well stocked and the owners take pride in the property. They have made many upgrades since last year including an added bathroom and better dishwasher! We also had guests stay in the cute little “barn” bedroom adjacent to the main house; there is a king-sized bed in there and a lot of privacy. We ate indoors in the air conditioned dining room, as well as outside on the deck with a river view. So nice! We kept our menus simple as counter-space in the kitchen is limited. All in all, it is a wonderful place to get away from it all. Thank you, Jane and Paul, for sharing this gem.

Loved the beautiful, peaceful setting.
My spouse and I spent five days at this property. I only wish it could’ve been more! The setting is so serene (we went end of February) and we were fortunate enough to have spring weather. Loved all the wildlife and hiking in nearby trails. The house was very well equipped and clean. And the owner was extremely responsive to our needs and questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent Getaway
Jane was easy to get into contact with, helpful with recommendations on what to do in the area and was so surprised when she dropped off some fresh eggs at our doorstep the first morning there. The deck was amazing and the riverfront access was a huge hit! Would definitely be back again!

Wonderful stay!
We stayed for 3 nights and had such a wonderful visit. There was a little hiccup with booking the original cabin and Jane scrambled to accommodate us in the upper hill cabin on short notice. It was so appreciated and we loved our visit. The cabin is really clean and kitchen well stocked with basics. The town of Lotus has charming shops for needed items. We especially loved talking to the chickens :)

Exceeded my expectations. Pictures are beautiful but does not do this place justice. The family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and intend on coming back in the summer. Quick response from Jane with my questions was appreciated. No hiccups, just a beautiful Thanksgiving getaway.

Great Spot on the River
Wonderful location right on the river. Stayed five nights with four adults, two, kids and a dog. Was a little tight sleeping quarters but we were fine. House is a bit on the rustic side but was plenty enough. Would book this property again. *We did have a WiFi issue but was fixed with the help of the property mgr in a quickness. Bring charcoal no gas grill.

Real Relaxation!
We had a wonderful time at this riverside property, lounging about and floating in the river. The cabin's rustic charm was both comfortable and cheerful; it was the perfect antidote to our covid worries, as it was private and safe as well. A note to future travelers: the American River depth is controlled by an up-river dam. Check online for river flows so as to best time your rafting. You can use a professional raft company for a longer day trip, or just enjoy the river currents in front of the house. There was plenty of fun to be had right of the house beach.

Pandemic getaway
The cabin was wonderful. Beautifully furnished and comfortable, in a great location. We spent lots of time in the porch and at the rivers edge, watching the rafters go by. Couldn’t think of a better place to socially distance.

Great river access, wonderful house!
Our stay was very nice. The house is an older style, and had great features - wood ceilings, comfortable rooms, and a great porch overlooking the river. Considering the time of year (winter), the property was well-kept. Chairs by the river and plenty of space. The only issues we had were regarding proximity to a fairly well traveled road - we still would have stayed there, but it would have been nice to know. Also, there is construction on a bridge immediately adjacent to the house. The weekend was peaceful, but construction on weekdays began early and continued through the afternoon. Again - it wasn’t a deal-breaker, but until the construction is done, we will limit visits to weekends. Overall, had a wonderful time - Jane was extremely easy to work with and was very accommodating and informative. We will definitely consider staying again at another time.
