We so enjoyed our second stay at this perfect place.

Richard and Wendy made us very welcome once again and we were able to enjoy a great deal of time with our grandson and his wife in this beautiful spot and great apartment - a real home from home and amazing wild life/ birds . We hope to come again next year.

Cute cottage in a gorgeous area

The house was just lovely, very well presented and had everything we needed... and more! The communication before and on arrival was very good and we didn't have any problems whilst staying at the property. The area is also very nice with just a short walk to the park and centrally located for easy access by car to all the areas of Sacramento.
