About this property

The Garden Cottage House with stunning large pool/jacuzzi, baby grand piano

From this centrally located country home and garden, you can unwind and enjoy small family get-togethers. You will find surprises at every turn as it is entirely equipped with every possible amenity that one could hope for and more.
The gorgeous park-sized pool and spa is superb. The jacuzzi is large enough for small children to swim! The pool is surrounded by beautiful landscaping, jasmine vines, and baby fruit trees. The heating of the jacuzzi and/or pool is not included in the base price but varies by season. Please ask for details. A BBQ is available if you are more of an outdoor gourmet! Enjoy the garden views of the sunset poolside or make s’mores at the fire pit. There is a children's playground outdoors with a cozy toddler swing, regular swing and a trapeze bar. There is plenty of space indoors for play and activities. Games, cards, juggling, puzzles for all ages, an oversized smart t.v., a large array of books, cookbooks, etc... Adults and supervised children can play piano on the stunning electric baby grand piano. This property feels like a private oasis in the middle of the city.
A private gate encloses the front yard at night and the large back yard is completely enclosed . An outdoor Ring/Doorbell camera faces the entrance/entry pathway for extra security. A smart lock allows you to have your own personal entry code. All night "partying" and in/out guests will be asked to leave. We welcome caring folks to enjoy the special beauty of this home and the stunning backyard with a diverse array of flora and fauna. Special events by permission only with possible event fee. Ask about non-shedding tiny pets with pet fee by permission on occasion. No allergens may be introduced. Thank you.
Thus, if this fits you, then we welcome you to book this nearly historical estate home in the heart of Citrus Heights and centrally located in the entire Sacramento region.
Hosts are always available to help, assist, and guide you to a memorable experience.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Our stay at the garden cottage was amazing!! Gingers attention to detail is something to see. Everything you could possibly need was provided and the pictures did not do her house justice. One of the best homes we have ever stayed at. Thank you Ginger!!

This lovely property exceeded all of our expectations! The house was beautifully furnished with so many thoughtful touches that made our stay truly exceptional. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could have needed to cook meals, and the abundance of games, toys, and items for babies/children was incredible. The pool was sparkling clean and the grounds were impeccably maintained.But what really made this stay so wonderful was the warm and welcoming hosts. They were a pleasure to interact with and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. This was hands down the best rental we've ever stayed in, and we can't wait to come back.

Property is beautiful and very well cared for. Met the owners and they are terrific. The property is tucked back from the street so it seems like you are away from people which was very relaxing. Just what we needed. And we really enjoyed the pool.

The property and has was even more amazing in person! Large fully fenced yard, lawn area, pool, and hot tub. On the same property as the owners but still secluded enough that you don’t feel like you’re a bother to anyone. Easy parking, full amenities throughout the house, cannot wait to stay again!
