The condo included "homey" touches like spices in the kitchen and a barbeque on the balcony. There was a large pool in the center, but we used one of the 3 other quieter ones. This was probably the cleanest condo we've ever stayed in. Ask for the golf course view! The location is perfect to do winetasting in Murphys--not high pressured (like Napa WAS 20 years ago) or the surrounding area. Don't miss the wine tour at the Ironstone winery. The music fests that the Ironstone winery host are worth booking a trip around (we just missed the Doobie Brothers in the outdoor ampitheater). The Saturday market in Aronold is great. Calveras Big Tree State Park (giant sequoia trees) is about 45 minutes drive, and Yosemite about 1.5 hours (don't miss Jamestown along that drive...great coffee/breakfast/lunch spot). The temps were hovering around 100 degrees the week we were there, but it still seemed pleasant. We flew into Sacramento, then drove to Santa Cruz and flew out of San Jose...both very easy to travel to/from. Angels Camp has a great grocery store, but lacks nicer restaurants...but you can find those a few miles away in Murphys. Also, the staff was very kind and helpful but not overly informed about "what to do" in the area...look at their discount board for local discounts.
