Prospectors Paradise Logo
Welcome to Prospector's Paradise, your California Sierras vacation rental resort!

Way back in 1849, this is where the great California gold rush started. Those prospectors who came with big dreams of finding gold and fortune were known as Forty Niners. The gold is long since gone but the spirits of those prospectors still remain in the high sierras. We invite you to come discover Prospector's Paradise in Sierra Mountains of California.

The Cabin

Your own private escape. The roughed mountains, forests, lakes and plains are the attraction of a real vacation retreat today. Prospector's Paradise is just outside Sonora, California surrounded by the beauty of nature yet offering all the comforts of home. Bring the whole family and maybe some friends, the house sleeps up to 13. Take a look at all it has to offer.

Cowboy Town

There’s more. Just behind the main house we pay tribute to the Forty Niners with a private Cowboy Town right out of the 1800s. This impeccably detailed replica of a western boomtown includes a jail, saloon, hotel, mercantile, cemetery and stable with pulley. Create your own Forty Niner adventures, then cook-up a BBQ in the outdoor kitchen or sit around the fire pit and enjoy s’mores. Bring the whole family!

The Area

This is the perfect alternative to the hustle and bustle of Lake Tahoe. Prospector's Paradise is situated in the same mountain range yet closer to the Bay Area. Pinecrest Lake is just a few minutes away offering boating, fishing, skiing and more. In the Winter there's plenty of snow and nearby ski lodges. The difference? This area is more laid-back, private and unspoiled. It's perfect for families who want their own retreat. Take a look at all the area has to offer.
