Excellent Location

The only recommendation is that another mirror be added.There is only 1 mirror located in the bathroom, for two bedrooms. Location is quiet with plenty of parking, towels, dishes and well equipped kitchen.

About the host

Hosted by Elliot Graham

Founded in 1999, proprietors Sherrie and Elliot Graham purchased a picturesque 34-acre parcel of rolling hills and sprawling oak and pine trees. The property, which is a portion of the old Meyer’s Ranch, was bare with the exception of a historic barn, once a notable stopping point for miners to change horses en route to Placerville. The Grahams’ dream of owning and operating a vineyard and winery was born in the early nineties, when Sherrie worked as a retail wine manager and buyer. Like many enthusiasts of Sierra Foothills wines, Elliot and Sherrie first explored Napa and Sonoma before discovering the splendor of El Dorado County. By this time, Sherrie was working as an advertising executive and Elliot worked in sales in Sacramento. A three-year search for the “perfect” property followed, before finally finding and purchasing part of Meyer’s Ranch on Grizzly Flat Road in Somerset. Both left their jobs, relocated, and concentrated their efforts on transforming the barren property into their dream of a home, land, vineyard, and winery.

Why they chose this property

In 2017, we completed construction of our dream house, which is also located on the vineyard property. After moving into our new house, we decided to transform the house we called home for 17 years into The Vineyard View Cottage. We are now proud to offer it to anyone who enjoys the peace and tranquility of living in a vineyard.

What makes this property unique

The Vineyard View Cottage offers some of the most dramatic sunsets you will ever see. After a day of wine tasting, rafting, or relaxing by the lake, The Vineyard View Cottage is the perfect spot to open a bottle of wine and watch the sun disappear over the vineyard.
