About this property

Wake up to glorious river views in private luxury, with no chore list!

Quiet 4 bedroom/3 bath home on the American River bluff above the San Juan Rapids. Breathtaking river views from the backyard, all 3 upstairs bedrooms, family rm, kitchen & both dining rooms. With private lawn, deck, bbq and expansive gardens. Laundry and well-equipped chef's kitchen, flatscreen TVs with Roku in living rm and all 4 bedrooms. 20 min to downtown Sac, Sac airport and 1.5 hrs to Lake Tahoe. Walking distance from Bannister Park’s river access and scenic bike trails.

PLEASE NOTE due to County regulations, we can have only two vehicles per booking, and there is no additional street parking available. We are also unable to host any type of event and are limited to 8 total guests of any age. While we have amazing river views from atop the bluffs, we do not have physical access to the river. River access is available quite nearby from several popular parks and raft/kayak launch points. Our natural setting means we are occasionally visited by local wildlife including bobcats, coyotes, and rattlesnakes. Please be mindful when enjoying our outdoor spaces.

Wonderful house for our family

We had a great stay in a beautiful home with a beautiful view of the river. We loved the sound of the rapids as we sat on the back porch. The house had plenty of room for 8 adults and had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend with family.

Spectacular View

Elizabeth and her husband are very gracious host, who ensure you have a wonderful stay. They checked in with us to make sure everything was fine and if we needed anything. She is very responsive. The view of the American River is spectacular. The house is in a quiet neighbor and it was a very relaxing stay. It is a large 4 bedroom with a lot of space. I would definitely stay there again.

Nice property, nice location

Very nice property that worked great for our group of 8. Only issue we had was with some of the appliances (difficulty in getting the oven to work, stove starter kept kicking after it was lit). Otherwise great experience. Hosts communicated well and check in was easy.

Beautiful Tranquil High End Property

Our family immensely enjoyed our stay at this tranquil property, surrounded by trees, overlooking the river, yet only a few minutes from a fabulous grocery store. The house is well supplied with linens, coffee, dinnerware, and plenty of seating and tables for a family. Our hosts replied promptly to all messages. The stairs are beautiful, just a heads up that if you have infants or littles that there aren't baby gates so you would have to watch them around the stairs. Our toddlers really enjoyed the friendly kitten, who loved to be petted. This is a well loved property. Here are a couple photos I took with my Samsung phone.

Lovely and peaceful

We are a group of old college friends in town for a memorial service. The home is lovely, spacious and peaceful in a tranquil setting with calming river rapids in the distance. Our hosts could not have been kinder and more helpful. Highly recommended and we will stay here again when visiting our college friend in Fair Oaks.
