  Our stay at the Urban Cottage has been our dream. My husband is just retired and we were looking for a wonderfully long chance to spend more time with our son and his wife, and lovely grandgirls, Mia and Anna. We had a chance to go to softball games, music programs and even be present for the losing of teeth and the advent of braces. It is those everyday moments that we have so dearly missed. The cottage has provided a perfect backdrop for all of this. Lori, it is like you have anticipated our every need. And even today, our last full day, (sniff), I am discovering little treasures in your home - wonderful little pieces of sculpture, beautiful serving dishes and the best stocked library ever. I am an amateur watercolor devotee and have been blessed with many painting opportunities. Doug and I love to garden and we arrived with the camellias, saw the beginnings and full bloom of the roses, and are enjoying the wonderful scent of the jasmine. We love our home in the Midwest, but will be more than happy to call this a second home, Thank you Lori for being a perfect host.

  We just spent two months in the charming urban cabin and were delighted and will definitely return. The location near the park, library, local markets and restaurants is ideal. The house itself is well appointed with luxury linens and towels. The breakfast nook is a delight with the camellias at the window. The large dining table is great for family We had 12 for pizza and all enjoyed the place. Our grand kids could play in the garden and walk to the park. Lori is very accommodating and aims to please. There is great feng shui in this place. Everyone who visited loved it and felt comfortable. We hope to return soon and repeat this positive experience.

  The Urban Cabin in East Sacramento exceeded our expectations! This beautifully-maintained, charming home is spacious, clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. It is situated within walking distance of a number of restaurants, a nice market, a nearby park, and many beautiful neighborhoods. It is also but a short drive from mid-town Sacramento, should you want to see an IMAX movie, walk the neighborhoods of the "Fab 40s," or explore your restaurant options. The neighborhood is quiet and the beds comfortable, so you should sleep well. Lori and Kevin, the owners, have compiled a very helpful notebook which will answer any questions you might have, about their lovely home, or about the area. They also have many great books available to read, games to play, and a DVD player should you want to rent a $1 movie from the nearby market. A complimentary bottle of wine is a nice touch to kick off a relaxing stay in this darling home. My husband and I give it our highest recommendation.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your urban cabin. Close to mid town, old, town and river park. Your home had everything we needed. Tastefully decorated from the pictures on the wall to the white plush robes in the closet. Even though it was a chilly week your home was warm and toasty. We enjoyed coming " home " every evening. We were waiting for our grand daughter to arrive and were comfortable the whole week. Loved the binder with all the info we needed menus. Marketsvetc. If you we're a first time Isidore it would be very helpful. Everything was clean and you were as charming as the cabin!!! Will come back

  Very nice house, beautifully decorated. Loved the historic neighborhood and easy access to downtown. The owner was very nice to work with. However, this house has maintenance issues: The floors were really dirty and I had to vacuum and mop as soon as we arrived -- not too fun after a very long drive. The doorknob was missing from one bedroom door and another bedroom doorknob came off in my hand. The kitchen sink faucet was faulty and hard to operate. The glasses in the cupboard were very dirty and had to be washed before use. There was no way to park in the driveway without one of us being forced to step into mud. It's unfortunate because with better maintenance, this house could be a fabulous place to stay.

  We loved our stay at the Urban Cabin and only wished it could have been longer. I felt at home immediately after walking in the door and was pleased to find everything in pristine condition. It was easy to tell that customer satisfaction is of the utmost priority. Beds were comfortable, beautiful backyard, ideal location near downtown and within walking distance to the wonderfully serene McKinley Park...we'll be back, for sure.

  After looking at a bunch of places, I settled on this place because of it's location and also multiple rooms. It was my brother's wedding and family from all over the states and even Korea came to attend. I knew the place had to be nice enough for everyone to feel comfortable and have a good time before and after the wedding. This cottage was perfect for that. The place is so tastefully decorated and has a full kitchen. We loved the long dining bench that we can sit around to eat and talk. We were able to house about 11 people one night, even though the place said it's for 6. This space is absolutely amazing. More than that, it is literally 5 minute drive from the high way and you can get anywhere in 30 minutes. I highly highly recommend this place, and if I'm ever in Nor-Cal again I am definitely booking this place again.

  My family recently rented this property for a relaxing week-end getaway. To our delight, it was very comfortable, charming and cozy. It is very clean and well maintained. The backyard says "come spend some time here"! The house brought back many memories of the home I grew up in. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to spending time there again!

  Just a wonderful alternative to a hotel stay.We enjoyed the patio area and the ability to have guests over for visits. We appreciated all the info left for us about shops and restaurants in the area. Pam and I would recommend the"Urban Cabin" to anyone.We have been coming to Sacramento for ten years to visit our son;this was by far our most comfortable visit.

  We had a wonderful stay in Our Urban Cottage. Everything needed was anticipated and provided. We felt "at home" away from home. The photos gave us a real glimpse of what to expect. Tips to places to visit and dine were utilized with pleased results. The owner was most helpful in booking the cottage and in accessing it. We were close to downtown activities and enjoyed walking the beautiful, peaceful and inviting neighborhood as well. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone.
