Halcyon House, make memories here! Welcome to your foothills wine country home.


Spacious Victorian style cottage, designed for relaxation, NOT for work crews, we’re sorry. Sweet front porch and large rear patio for outdoor living. Private, quiet location, yet steps away from dining, shopping and wine tasting in historic Amador City. Over 40 wineries are a short drive away.

Halcyon House has been a five star vacation rental since 2016, and have a loyal group of repeat guests. Join us and see why!

The house features a main floor master with king bed and full bath. Second floor includes one king bedroom and one queen, with second bath. Both upstairs bedrooms have dormers with day beds, perfect for kiddos or a reading nook. Kitchen is fully furnished with plates, glasses, flatware, pots and pans, small appliances and coffee, tea, creamer and sweetener.

Charming front porch is one spot for outdoor relaxation. Large private back patio offers lounge area, dining table and grill. Propane tank and grill cleaner are included. Please let me know if you run out of either.

We look forward to your visit, cheers!

Bad travel-Good Wedding
Cute house, had everything we needed. The host was very helpful. It was a bit cold for people that live in Arizona as the heater only went to 72, however the furniture was cozy as they had throws that came in handy. Marilee thank you for your help!

I was so happy when I walked in the door - clean, charming, spacious, comfortable, and a very well equipped kitchen! Had a lovely week with my kids where we were able to spend quality time together and also all have our own space. Highly recommend and I will book this place again next time I visit!

Better than we could have ever imagined!
Having never been in the area before, we were thrilled by the location for one - one block walk to great food and cocktails at the Imperial, local brewery, quaint city. Everything we were here to do was a short drive. And once back at Halcyon House, it offered every amenity we needed - great attention to detail, very welcoming setting, indoor and outdoor areas that are comfortable and relaxing. I speak for all 6 of us when I say this is a wonderful gem, a home away-from-home, with a host who is friendly and responsive (not that we needed anything!) We highly recommend!!!

The Best-- hosts have thought of everything!
We've lived in the Bay Area and North Bay for 40 years and this was the first time visiting this area. Amazing! No surprise that this property gets such high ratings-- it is well-deserved: It's plush, comfortable, spacious, thoughtfully appointed and well stocked. Loved the huge, inviting back patio-- shaded, comfy padded chairs, beautiful trees and flowers. Kitchen was a joy to cook in. We knew we were staying during days that the town was closed but it didn't matter-- had long morning hikes and an easy 10- minute drive to numerous wineries for tasting and lunch, and loved returning to the home to relax and cook dinner. We're already looking forward to next year's return! Many thanks for sharing your home!

Amador City Treasure!
Just returned from two nights at this lovely property! There were six of us friends on a wine tasting adventure! This home was by far the best VRBO I've had the experience of using! It was private and in a charming setting. The host was diligent in replying to my inquiries! It was clean, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we could have needed, plenty of bath towels, etc! I would recommend this to anyone who would be going to this area!

Perfect Family Retreat
This was the perfect place for our family to stay! My sister just got married at Hotel Sutter but because my family is a larger than average we opted to get our own place instead of staying at the hotel. This house was PERFECTION! It is so clean and comfortable plus it has everything you could possibly need! I’m a self professed linen snob, the sheets and towels are lovely here, they even provide good toilet paper! The kitchen has all the utensils, appliances, dishes and serving ware you could possibly need. I really appreciated the great extras, I brought a steamer but there was already one there with the iron. My kids who had to share rooms appreciated how there was some privacy between the beds. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the setup and decorating of this home. My 9 year old LOVED the backyard play space, it was a wonderful way for her to decompress after all the formal events of the weekend. The location of the house is quiet, safe and secure. The hosts were easy to contact and there is also a local property manager if there is an immediate need. If our family ever has a need to travel to the area again we will be staying here. Thank you!

Perfect place for 6 women to enjoy. House is clean, darling and is set-up with everything one would need. We loved sitting out in the back patio watching deer walk past. The town is a very short walk and fun to explore. We are already planning our next girl's trip. Owner was very responsive. 5 star place for sure!

Wonderful home!
The house is lovely and wonderful for two couples traveling together because there is great privacy for each couple. Thehouse has everything you need and a lovely outdoor area for grilling or enjoying morning breakfast! Marilee is a great hostess and is a great communicator! It is a great location to visit local wineries, especially on the weekends. A lot of things are closed during the early week, but we loved the house and would highly recommend it!

Perfect in Every Way
We booked the Halcyon House to attend an event and celebrate a birthday. This house was just perfect. The backyard was so peaceful and welcoming. The walk into town was easy and there was a very fun event called Dancing in the Streets. We were having so much fun we didn't want to go to our event. Thank you Marilee for sharing your home with us and an extra big thank you for the "Happy Birthday" sign to welcome us. We can't wait to come back!

What an awesome rental!
We needed a rental to use as home base for our sons wedding in Sutter Creek and Halcyon House had us from the moment we saw the listing. A beautiful home, located on a quiet hill with gorgeous views no matter where you are looking. The home has plenty of space and all the comforts of home. Comfy beds, spacious areas to relax or entertain and just a lovely restored home. I cannot say enough good things about Marilee! She saved the day in many ways with her suggestions and assistance in connecting us with people in the area to make our rehearsal dinner and stay a complete success. Thank you so much, Marilee, for sharing your lovely home, your contacts and your genuine enthusiasm in making this not only a place to stay but a memory we will cherish.
