Malaina was a great host, respected our privacy and wow both my boyfriend and I were significantly impressed with the hot tub. Cool area to explore, malaina recommended a hike that gave a beautiful view of Lake New Malones. The bed was a comfy and there was a gate we could close off our space with for optimal privacy/comfort for puppy off leash. Thanks for a great adventure!

Weekend Trip to Joyful Heart
Malaina’s space was magical and Malaina was a fantastic, attentive host. We arrived a bit late and Malaina had started a fire and heated up the cabin for our arrival. The hot tub was a fun touch, the instant hot water was great, and we loved the outdoor shower! Perfect spot for a romantic, private getaway with spectacular stargazing and waking up to the birds singing.

Absolutely amazing place to stay. Scott was very nice and accommodating pack light because almost everything you need is there already. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful stay there away from everybody and everything. It truly is a hidden gem!

3 nights at Joyful Heart
There was everything to love and appreciate about this Jamestown getaway. I felt so close to nature, so relaxed, and so taken by the bird chorus surrounding me. Truly special. And the host, Malaina, was amazing: gracious, kind, caring.

16 ft travel trailer
We had a nice weekend camping at Pond Bank Waterfront. The property was easy to find and access. We parked our trailer parallel to the pond so that we had a nice view of it. We were the only ones accessing the pond so that was nice. We were aware of neighbors across the pond but they are far enough away that it was no issue. We really enjoyed watching all of the birds come and go to the pond. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful!
We liked that the location of the property is so close to things to do during our stay. We spent the afternoon on Saturday checking out the Kennedy Mine and Kennedy Tailing Wheels. Fascinating. Walking around Sutter Creek was fun too.
The only issue we had were mosquitos which come any place with water. Just be prepared for them to come out an hour or so before sunset. We didn't have any issue with them during the day.

Having a private reservoir to unwind at was a lovely addition to our weekend away. We explored some local trails with our dog and then came to fish and relax by the resorvoir. There are some neighbors with animals that are chatty but that is to be expected out in the country. We took out the paddleboat and enjoyed hours relaxing on the land. Thanks James!

Loved my stay here!
So peaceful and private .i didn’t see a soul the entire time.
The paddle boat was great and I appreciated the runner of artificial grass that was very soft
The pond is so refreshing and the sand beach .nice to lie on.
Note there is no picnic table but a glass table and a wooden stool, so as long as you have chairs it’s not an issue.
The gas grill does not work .
There is a large fire pit on wheels that will be awesome once the fire ban is lifted.
I even made a sweet duck friend! I’d come back just for him!

Amazing spot and host! We'll definitely be back! I'd say this spot is in between glamping and camping. Running portable water, a creek, outhouses (one that actually flushed), shower, pop-up trailer and structures to sleep in and under, the list goes on. So many little spots and buildings to camp and setup at for a scenic, private camping experience.

Amazing little camp spot, great for a family gathering, something to do for all. The canoe was such a plus! We enjoyed the entire weekend. Must love bird, cricket, bullfrog and neighborhood dog noises. We didn’t mind, lulled us to sleep

Stayed with my wife and kids at Scott's place and had an amazing time. Scott met us at the gate and helped us drive in. Scott is extremely friendly and showed us around the property, then left us to ourselves to enjoy our time there. The place is extremely private with nobody around, it doesn't get any better than this. We had our own private creek where the kids spent a lot of time fishing for crawdads. The campsite is right on the creek, and listening to the creek while sitting around the fire was priceless. If you are looking for a private getaway in the woods, this is the place. Scott has the place setup with multiple fire pits and chopped wood, there was charcoal and propane BBQs. Also camping stoves. Two huge tables with umbrellas. Tons of blackberry bushes with blackberries that taste like candy. We couldn't have found a better place to camp. There is even a small cabin and a barn. On the day we left our car battery died, and Scott was kind enough to send his son out to help us jump our battery. Thank you guys so much! This is truly a hidden gem and we were so lucky to find this spot. Thanks again for everything Scott, appreciate you!

Great spot. Perfect to fish, boat and relax with friends. Outhouse was a welcome surprise. Site is definitely exposed and hot, but its location on the water cannot be beat. One thing to note; the reservoir isn’t completely private. Two or three other properties have access to the water, but no one came out during our stay. Will certainly be returning in the future!

Very nice place to get away with the kids. Bring shade and tick. Very nice farm swings but wouldn’t recommend using them.

The homestead is a hidden gem just a few minutes from San Andreas, CA. You’ll have to go through a couple of very shallow creeks (our SUVs had no issue crossing — and Scott helped the family navigate!) and you’ll find a rustic campsite perfect for splashing in some creeks, hanging out under the shade of trees, and relaxing under the stars. We had 2 kids with us and they love playing in the creek and swimming with tiny fishes in the watering hole. The 2 dogs were also able to run around freely. The property itself had some very cool amenities like hammocks, swings, volleyball nets, basketball hoops as well as creature comforts like running water and toilets. There’s always something to do to keep the kids busy while enjoying each other’s presence. Thank you so much, Scott, for your warm reception!
