Casa Gardenia River Front Home

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Desiree went above and beyond to make our stay incredible. Traveling with an infant is never easy and she truly went over the top for us. Pack and play was set up when we arrived and there were snacks, play mat, and new toy for him. She was so easy to communicate with throughout the whole weekend and so thoughtful.

B St Bungalow- West Sac Getaway

AntheiaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We stayed at Sean's bungalow as we were moving out of our house and couldn't have been happier! The house had more than enough space for our family and a fantastic fenced backyard that our little one really enjoyed. Everything is also labelled inside the house, and we appreciated this attention to detail so much as it made finding things very easy. Sean is also very responsive! We would definitely recommend this house, especially if you're looking for somewhere to stay for longer periods and need a little bit more space. Thanks again!

Folsom Zen Home, Sanctuary on 1 Acre

ChloeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This property is everything we could have wanted for our group. Instructions were clear and concise so we knew what to expect. It had plenty of space for 11 people and had all the things we needed. We spent a lot of time cooking in the kitchen which included all the items to fix all the meals we had planned to make. Rooms were spacious and clean. One of the bathrooms did have some towels hanging behind the door instead of folded so I am unsure if those were used or clean. But besides that, all the bedrooms and the bathrooms were clean and stocked. It did not feel cramped with all of us in the house! The master bedroom is an extra bonus with the heated floor, tub, and shower. The backyard was also very beautiful even though we did not get to spend a lot of time there. Amber was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire duration and even before our stay. We were very very lucky to have found this beautiful home and we look forward to future bookings with Amber!

"On Folsom's Walden Pond" Best location in Folsom!

MaryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Hidden gem in Folsom! All major shopping and dining are a short drive from this restful home. We needed a place to stay for a Celebration of Life in Placerville, CA. I'm so glad we picked this location in Folsom. It was calming, peaceful, and a great place to relax. Enjoy your coffee on the patio and watch the wildlife scamper among the trees or serenely glide across Walden's pond. Will book again when in the area.
