Venues & Event Spaces near Lotus, CA

“Excellent place to stay, especially if you are planning on white water rafting. The food and staff were fantastic. It is a step up from tent camping but a great camping experience for the kids. Plus, there are showers and bathrooms that are well kept and clean.”

“Enjoyed Eden Vale for my wifes birthday. A wonderful, serene, and top notch place to stay. The massages were the best we ever had. The breakfast was fantastic, the room well appointed and comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic. My wife and I wished we could have stayed one more night and enjoy the grounds a bit more, especially out by the pond. A perfect place to just meditate and read a good book. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend Eden Vale for an anniversary or romantic getaway.”

“My partner and I explored this state park for the first time on Thursday. It's pretty spread out so there is a lot of walking if you do more than the museum but it's beautiful out here. If you come on a weekday there is likely going to be a field trip so I would recommend a weekend. There is a cafe in the park that we tried and enjoyed (see my review for the Argonaut Cafe) and the museum was interesting but just walking around the park was my favorite part since there was a lot to learn outside of the museum as well. I found this place more interesting than Sutter's Fort so I would check this place out if you are interested in the history of the gold rush.”

“We’ve been here a few times now. Each time we’ve received excellent wines, exceptional service, and always an outstanding view. We’ve been twice with Erin doing our pours and she is very attentive, personable and just friendly. She seems passionate about learning ( had a book open to learn about tasting notes, price range, and much more information to better her knowledge). She even recognized us during our second visit with her! We recommend this winery to all of our friends and have shared the David Girafd experience with friends who have brought more friends. Will come back as often as we can!”

“The Black Oak Facility is truly one of a kind. With the incredible support and tireless effort of Tracy, their onsite coordinator extraordinaire, we were able to bring our dream wedding to life. She was a standout — professional, responsive, and a joy to work with.

That said, the administrative side of the venue left something to be desired. The communication felt cold and corporate, lacking the warmth or personal touch we had hoped for during the planning process. It’s important to note that while the venue itself is stunning, you should be prepared to handle a lot of the planning logistics yourself. Aside from Tracy (who is hired separately), the venue primarily provides just the space.

In short: the setting is gorgeous, and if you’re organized and ready to take the reins — especially with the help of a fantastic coordinator like Tracy — you can absolutely make magic here.”

“Totally cool place!! Very comfortable family, dog friendly! You cannot have better or more knowledgeable servers! And did I say friendly!? I always feel like a King here! And most importantly, the wine is exceptionally good, and getting better by the minute! Over the last couple of years, the wine has improved. Most wine here is estate grown and bottled! A gem in Gold Country!
Yesterday, the shortest day of the year 2025, I went to taste some wines! I am loving the Cab Franc and Native Cabernet Sauvignon and Primativo Bianco. As always, friendly and fun!”

“We had our daughter wedding here last Wednesday Oct 2024.
I was highly disappointed as we walked on wet grass and sat on muddy chairs, my dress along with several others had mud on them, the next complaint I have is the food we paid for the Buffett and had to ask numerous times for to go plates I am shocked we were able to take our deserts home but nothing else. I’m wanting partial payment back for the food because there was a lot left over and I read that large venues like this is suppose to provide the to go plates. Well everytime someone asked for one it was an inconvenience, we paid for wine that was never was used but couldn’t take that home as well because no cap. So I don’t get it it’s ok to take our deserts home but the food no ? They rather you give away the food instead of it being thrown away is what I read on the California food law.
I didn’t pay for everyone else to eat off my dime. So if someone from this venue wants to reach out to me they can.
Other then those complaints the venue was nice but very expensive if your planning on having a wedding here.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I attended the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy performance at the Placerville Shakespeare Club on Friday, June 6, 2025. I thought the venue was the perfect spot for it. It was a wonderful old building and the performance was amazing and entertaining. I would definitely attend an event again at this venue.”

“My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights late April early May and we could not have been happier with the accommodations or the location. Our host were very hands on and took care of our every need. A delicious healthy breakfast was provided every morning to get us started. The Inn was centrally located to all of the restaurants and wineries in the area as well as being only 60 miles from South Lake Tahoe which was well worth the trip. To say the views from the pool area were breathtaking would be an understatement. We would definitely return here again.”

“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.”

“This morning my dog and I were here, as we are most day and we noticed a couple of guys. They were suspect looking. I watched them for a minute cause they were at my garden. I saw Tristian also watching. He called for someone else to come with him to check on these guys. He arrived within seconds. Also arriving quickly was a sheriff I think. We left. I knew my garden would be safe. I just want to Thank Tristian and Eric for their quick response. I never feel unsafe walking here. There are workers all the time and they keep a watchful eye. I also wanted to acknowledge the ladies that clean the restrooms. They are friendly and do an amazing job. I don't think I have ever seen the restrooms dirty. This is a wonderful place to have in this area to walk with or without a dog. Its very safe and very clean. Placerville does lack in parks so this is a gem. Thank you everyone”

“What an awesome family oriented camp site, the cabin are all very clean and the staff is super helpful. If you happen to be looking for a puppy the camp host has some Frenchies she is selling they are all paper and oh my gosh so so precious.”
