A wonderful cottage close to element 79 with a great set up that was comfortable for us and our 8 week newborn to share. Plenty of space heaters to keep us warm too :)

Nice retreat near multiple wineries

A great stay with only minor issues: (1) gate code was very temperamental and (2) you have to pull the cottage door towards you when trying to lock the door. Love the location. Close to wineries and a gas station.

No kids weekend

We always love coming to the Fairplay area. This was a new place to stay for us and we really enjoyed it. It has everything you need in a beautiful spot. Our only complaint is that the bed is really hard, too much for our liking. Get a foam mattress topper on there and it would be perfect.

Beautiful place

This was such a cute little cottage! It was our first time away in almost 3 years since we have kids so it was very special. Kelly allowed me to check in early so I could decorate the room to Surpise my fiancé . And when we got there, there was a welcome board personalized with our names and a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. It couldn’t have been any more perfect.

The Cottage

The cottage was perfect for our short stay. The owner was very flexible with our changing arrival time. The one thing that maybe could be improved was the directions to the actual cottage once you are through the gate. We missed the immediate left turn ( was not it the directions) and since we arrived after dark it was a little more challenging to find the access. But we found it fairly quickly and enjoyed the place very much. Thank you!

Wonderful escape

My husband and I “escaped” from the confines of sheltering in place to attend a funeral nearby. It was a delight to stay at the cottage and to get a change of scenery. As soon as we walked in, the place smelled refreshingly brand new! It was charming, clean and fresh. The cottage was appointed with fluffy white towels, high-end soaps and lotions, a well appointed kitchenette with microwave, coffee maker, toaster and small fridge. The cottage also had access to a sunny seating area where we ate breakfast and dinner (Chinese takeout) outside with a view of the property’s vineyards. Because of Covid, we were unable to wine taste at the owner’s Element 79 winery, but we were greeted with a nice bottle of zinfandel from the vineyard in our cottage. We look forward to coming back when they re-open for tastings! The winery is as inviting and trendy as the finest Napa wineries. Met the owners and they were delightful people. We’ll be back!

Efficient cottage on a peaceful property in the hills.

We spent most of our time at a wedding nearby and very much enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The host worked with our schedule and was immediately helpful when we were unable to figure out the gate. Thanks!

Wedding and Wineries Weekend

What started out as just a place to stay while attending a wedding in the area turned into a nice weekend get away. The Element Cottage was clean, comfortable and great place to relax after a day exploring area wineries and the historic town of Placerville. We will definitely return.

Clean, Quiet Cottage in the Vines

A wonderful overnight stay in a clean, quiet cottage in the vines. My only problem is we should have stayed longer. Checking in at Element 79 tasting room was delightful with a gorgeous view and wine tasting of their delicious wines. Our cottage awaiting us less than a mile away with a bottle of wine which we enjoyed as we watched the sun set over the vines with their autumn colors. Spacious, quiet, comfortable and clean. Highly recommend. We will definitely return and plan a longer visit to explore the area. Thank you to our gracious hosts.

Nashville getaway

The property was perfect for our group of 6 mature adults. The property is well located and close to Printer's Alley and Broadway. Very comfortable with high ceilings and the large comfortable Living Room. We had a running pool competition for the 4 days we were there. So fun. We will rent again if available next time we return.
