Wonderful place to stay. Beautiful master bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom and well designed laundry/utility room. Because it is just a one bedroom cottage, those who sleep on the pull out couch and trundle beds have a cozy experience in the living room, which is what this grandma was looking for!

Close to the main house, but still a very private stay. Lovely, quiet neighborhood, good for morning and evening walks with our dog. The cottage itself is lovely: beautifully decorated, comfortable King sized-bed, and all other necessities, especially AC as it was in the 90's during our stay! Close to Old Sac, downtown, and wonderful family-owned restaurants nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Sally Nichols

Host profile image
We are semi retired, originally from East Coast. Adult daughters and grandchildren are all living in San Francisco and Sacramento. We built the guest house to accommodate their frequent visits with growing families. We are golfers, skiers, tennis players, gardeners and pet owners.

Why they chose this property

We have lived in the main house for 35 years. Guest House stands on the site of the original barn and caretaker's cottage, which we tore down in 2013. Lot size is 1.3 acres, leaving a huge lawn in front of the guest house patio. Very private, cozy. Shady, large pet enclosure.

What makes this property unique

Private outdoor space, fenced in yard for occasional dog tenants. Dogs must be approved by owner. Plenty of parking. Cabin style interior with all new (or antique) furnishings and appliances. Dedicated wifi. Significant weekly discount going to $126 per night with 7 plus day rental.
