Every year we spend a weekend in the Sonora/Columbia/Jamestown area to kick off the winter holidays and ride the Polar Express out of the historic Railtown State Park. This year we decided to rent a house and bring our dogs-- and we are so glad that we did! This is a lovely, wonderful, comfortable home in a beautiful hillside neighborhood with expansive views of the Sierra foothills. It's equally close (5-10 min drive) from the charming towns of Sonora, Jamestown and Columbia State Park. It has comfortable beds, a terrific kitchen, great bathrooms, and cozy living areas. What our 12 and 14 year old boys loved the most was the garage with the air hockey- billiards- ping pong table! They spent hours in there having the best time while my husband and I relaxed, read our books, and knit in the living room with views of the mountains! We are already looking forward to a return trip! The owners are very kind and considerate and are very well organized- we had everything we needed and knew we could call them if something unexpected came up. They gave us great restaurant recommendations in Sonora, too!
