“Excellent historical park with lots to do and discover. Has all the elements and experiences of the gold rush era and has interactive elements as well. We love being part of the Coloma Community Market between November and April. Great vibes!!Restrooms: Public restrooms have flushing toilets and are clean by parks standards.Dog-friendliness: We see so many pets being walked along the trails. Very pet friendly.Picnic area: Picnic tables around the park offers a place to stop and eat during your ventures or after a long hike on the many trails.”

“Glad we came in winter to miss the crowds. The water is beautiful. We had campsite B and it was perfect. The store is great and has everything you might have forgotten. We will definitely return to Coloma and we've already picked out the spots we want to park in next.”

“Very nice winery. The scenery is amazing. We did a tasting and it was a wonderful experience. David M was super friendly and knowledgeable. The wines were quite good and reasonably priced. Honestly, it was much better experience than the ones we had in Napa. Definitely will come back if in the area.”

“Back in October 2022, I planned a romantic getaway here for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed in the premium suite called Gray Pine with our own designated parking space. The great thing about the premium suites is that they are located in a separate building and provide that much more serenity and quiet. This was our first time visiting and staying at Eden Vale, and I will say that both David and Karen go above and beyond with answering any questions or concerns.For my introverted self, I was happily content with the daily breakfast delivery of homemade vegetarian breakfast delivered to our deck location for that perfect blend of privacy meets sleeping in. Sometimes you want to eat bfast together, but not necessarily get dressed to dine with other guests. I do value that they provide vegetarian options and will ask about any dietary restrictions. These are small details that make the best experience. There's also a shared kitchenette between the two suites with a fridge to put any leftovers or drinks, etc. A lot of the room amenities are digital and very easy to use (at the click of a button). Clear instructions and plenty of space/indoor lighting/accommodations. I found the room to be cozy and romantic. There was a little kissing decor piece that I took a picture of just to add to that overall love feeling. Of course, the private deck with robes and a deep couples soaking tub was amazing. We would often go out there in the middle of the night with our cheeto puffs and wine glasses to soak in the bubbles while looking up at the night sky. So peaceful!If you check their website prior to reservations, they often have weekday specials going on where you could save a healthy amount on the daily rate. You can also add on enhancements to make the stay memorable. There's a cute little pond on the grounds with a boat reminiscent of a scene out of The Notebook. We didn't take the boat for a spin, but just looking at the landscape gave me those happy couple vibes. Honestly, the only negative we experienced during our stay in 2022, was that the bed seemed off kilter. It didn't seem level. Laying on it with my head feeling as if it was positioned lower than my body kind of gave a headache, but we did bring this to the attention of David and Karen. I would recommend this Bed & Breakfast to anyone wanting to experience a new landscape away from the bustle of city life, but still within a reasonable drive to Placerville, El Dorado Hills, and so forth. Thank you for reading!”

“Highly recommend Earthtrek for anyone looking to make a whitewater rafting trip along the American River. We stayed in their riverside deluxe tents and really enjoyed the location which despite being in near triple digit temperatures with the weather was very cool thanks to the location along the river. Jerry is a great host and an excellent cook. Meals were outstanding and well balanced. OARS is next to Earthtrek which made the location very convenient. Thank you Jerry!”

“When my husband passed away unexpectedly it was really difficult to find a place to have his celebration that wasn't super expensive. Not only are their rates good they also have a full bar with great bartenders but a full kitchen. Proceeds go to supporting our local vets.”

“This place is magical. Very pretty and very secluded. Deanna the owner is super sweet and will help and give ideas if needed. We had a family wedding this early fall for 150 people. They had a bar server and two young kids helping throughout the event. We highly recommend Fausel Ranch.”

“We had our dream wedding at this venue this past weekend! The staff went above and beyond to make it truly special, and we felt so supported throughout the entire planning process. I cannot recommend this venue and the staff enough!”

“Alphonso, it was an honor meeting you and spending time with you on this New Years Day 2024.We are so glad to have met you and spent time this evening tasting and having a glass of this pure gold. We also met a wonderful couple, Gary and Antoinette, planning their wedding. The sunset was just as good as the wine.”

“We have a holiday group get together every year the weekend after Thanksgiving. The staff always takes great care of us and today was no different!! Thank you for all the smiles and laughter”

“I'm a member of the Emblem Club of Placerville. We are a community service organization and have a lot of events to help raise things for our community. We use the Elks Lodge for our meetings as well as attend the Elks held events. The Elks Lodge is a wonderful location to hold events. It has a kitchen and a bar and plenty of space. The Elks themselves, although I'm a new member of the Emblem Club and am still learning about the Elks Lodge, I know they provide the largest amount of scholarships to students besides the federal government and do a lot to support the veterans.”

“Where do I begin? Black Oak Mountain Vinyards is one of my favorite wedding venues to DJ at. They always do such a great job providing an awesome wedding day for their couples and make everyone feel like royalty. The views are unbelievably beautiful and the options for guests to take pictures are endless. Black Oak Mountain Vinyards is one of the number one wedding venues in Northern California hands-down! Also, the staff is genuinely amazing at making you feel at home and welcome. It truly is their pleasure to serve you. Black Oak Mountain Vinyards definitely deserves a full five star review! There are no negatives about them!- DJ Grant Petersen”

“Visited as a vendor in my first show and although it was a very nice relaxed atmosphere there were not many people that turned out and I don't think there were any announcements or promotions leading up to the event to put the word out. I didn't see any. It was left to the vendors to advertise about the event the day of. If I attend in the future I will try to get more information and see if I can help with posting announcements leading up to the event. Everyone there was professional and helpful and ultimately it was a great learning experience. It would be a great little fair of people know to come.”

“The El Dorado County Fair occurs annually on the third Thursday of June through to Sunday. This year's 2023 fair ran from June 15-18. The theme was Country Nights and Carnival Lights... all day and night. I've been attending this fair for quite some time. My favorite events to watch are the livestock auction, horse riding drill team event, and the John Studebaker wheelbarrow racing. All of these shout out "community" and is unique to the area. I enjoy watching the auction and seeing the youngsters show their animals... pigs, turkeys, goats, rabbits, and Angus cattle. Plus it's pretty neat listening to the fast talking wise cracking auctioneer. The wheelbarrow barrel racing is a signature event unique to this fair. Yup, the race is named after the auto manufacturer. Contestants run an obstacle course pushing a wheelbarrow and filling a gunny sack filled with dirt. There's even a water hazard. Fun fact as a young man, John Studebaker made his way to Placerville to gold mine and ended up making wheelbarrows instead. With his hard earned money, he moved back to the Midwest to start manufacturing automobiles with his brothers.Must try food: +The local chapter of the 20/30 club makes a pretty awesome tasting taco. Slightly fried crispy shell tacos. And at $5, it's a bargain compared to the other food stand vendors. +My other favorite food vendors that were locally based was the Love Birds Coffee stand. They sell coffee drinks , doughnut, waffles, cookies, and Krispy treats. The baked goods are all homemade and hefty sized. The prices were a bit cheaper than the other food stands. I had a flavored iced coffee... delicious!!! +Some folks that we shared a picnic table with raved about another local vendor... Holy Grail Grill. The pulled pork soft tacos were outstanding! 3 for $12.Not to worry the fair had a ton of carnival food vendors...corn dogs, funnel cakes, Chinese food, soft serve, icees (including the over 21 versions), BBQ... you name it. Parking:There is no fairgrounds public parking lot. Parking is at the library. From there, a free shuttle drops off at the front admissions gate. They come around often so the wait time is minimal. The shuttle is handicapped accessible and has air conditioning. Admission: General admission is $12 and senior (60 and over ) is $10. They allow in and out fair entry, just get a hand stamp before exiting.”

“Food was amazing. The black and white was so delicious, best filet ever and the mashed potatos were so tasty. Live music was super entertaining. Had a really great dinner and will be back!”
