This place is so freaking cool! It's a must stay if your in the area! It's even worth going out of your way to go! I'm already planning next trip it was so fun even in the colder months!
Everything about our stay was great. Communication with the property owner was very easy and the check in and out process was smooth. The house and amazing pool made for another great long weekend getaway!!!

Hosts helped us by transferring our stay from July 2025 to April 2026 due to a death in the family. Once we got to the house we found out that the pool was not heated, even though their policy states it will be heated after March 15th. The host stated he would not heat the pool for our stay. The house temperature was 78 degrees and we wanted to turn the air conditioning on. You had to ask the host to do this and they said to open the windows. We had a pregnant woman and elderly people and needed the air conditioning on. We repeatedly asked the host if we were going to be able to use the air conditioner during our stay and they did NOT give us an answer. The host became frustrated because he had a hard day at work and then evicted us. We left the next morning because children were already asleep.
Location was as described with nothing hidden. Host was easily accessible via text group chat. We would be happy to stay at this location again in the future.
Comfortable space for our group of 12. There was a little confusion regarding the bed configuration/setup, but management was responsive and we got it squared away fairly quickly.
The property and pool were beautiful. It had all the supplies you would expect and everything worked without any problems. The hosts were responsive. We would definitely like to stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Laralyn
I manage a home for now "empty nesters" who no longer are in need of their large home. In turn, they are making it available for others to enjoy its great location and amenities.
Why they chose this property
Such a unique location, private but yet close at close to a 45 minute drive to Sacramento International Airport. A short drive to Tahoe, mountain biking trail, lake & river access, historical downtown Auburn and its beauty. City access while enjoying enormous privacy like this is hard to acquire at the same time. A short 25 minutes to quality shopping in Roseville Galleria and surrounding stores. Near Rocklin, Granite Bay, Loomis and Lincoln... Folsom with its well known Dam and recreational lake is also less than a 35 minute drive. Property is just off Hwy 49 for easy access to I-80 East (Reno or Tahoe bound) or west (Sacramento bound, I-5.) Wedding Ceremonies, Receptions, Holidays, Family Reunions all can be held on the large property. Central to surrounding areas; Grass Valley, Nevada City, Colfax, Meadow Vista, Wheatland, City of Cool, Foresthill, American River Fork... SO MUCH to do and see here!
What makes this property unique
City access plus privacy and seclusion makes this location a rare find. Hard to come by with the private waterpark like backyard allowing relaxation and enjoyment that you're unable to find at a hotel or event center. We are minutes from shopping, golfing, fuel fill, pharmacy, restaurants and organic foods! And yet when at the rental, you feel secluded and peaceful!
