Albert - I’m so glad you enjoyed the big TV for your weekend of gaming! I hope the WiFi kept up with all the fun too. Thank you for choosing our place, and you’re always welcome back anytime!
The house was a perfect stay for us. Excellent and quiet neighborhood yet still very close to old town Folsom with its cozy and enjoyable atmosphere. We enjoyed the many trails next to the lake and river. The house was exactly as portrayed on the website and with nice decor. The hosts were efficient and very responsive and helpful

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the quiet yet convenient location of the house.

It's wonderful to know you took advantage of the beautiful trails along the lake and river—they really are a highlight of the area.

Well designed home with attention to every detail and guest needs. We could walk to historic downton Folsom. I also was empressed with craftmanship of perfect renovation (tile, trim, painting etc.). Thanks for great visit!

Thank you so much, Dan! I really appreciate your kind words about the home and the renovation details—it means a lot. I’m so glad you enjoyed the location and your time in Folsom. You were a wonderful guest, and you’re welcome back anytime!
The hosts (Lisa and Jim) were very welcoming and their hospitality was exceptional. We arrived to a very nice card and some snacks. The washer and dryer went out before we arrived and they were there working on it and eventually replaced it when they didn't have to. The home was beautifully furnished with everything you could think of and included a small Christmas tree. Although the beds were a bit hard for our liking, we firmly believe they didn't want to make it too comfortable for us so we wouldn't overstay.

Thank you so much! It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the home, the holiday touches, and the welcome goodies. I appreciate your kind words about our hospitality. Jim and I were happy to make sure everything was in great working order for your stay. And your mattress comment gave us a good laugh! They’re memory foam beds, but everyone has their own comfort preferences, and we appreciated the humor in your note. You were wonderful guests, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
The property was great; clean, comfortable, well maintained, quiet, and close to everything we wanted to do. Lisa was an amazing host, super communicative and providing thoughtful welcoming touches. The listing shows an EV charger onsite which isn’t currently there, but Lisa found me a list of compatible fast charging stations in the area which worked for us. Highly recommend staying here, especially if you’re looking to be close to the historic district.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I'm so glad you found the home clean, comfortable, and convenient for everything you had planned. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and I really appreciate your kind words about the experience.
I also appreciate your note about the EV charging setup—we originally listed the 30-amp outlet available in the garage, but I completely understand how that could be confusing. I’ve since updated the listing to make sure expectations are clear moving forward.
Thanks again for staying with us, and I’m so happy the nearby fast charging stations worked out for you. You’re welcome back anytime!
Very nice two bedroom for a short 9 day vacation. It was close to old town Folsom, easy walking distance. Kitchen was well stocked with all essential tools. It was a pleasure communicating with Lisa. Television service seemed to be "app only" channels
We went from VRBO often and often properties are not as described. This one is even better than the listing: obviously newly renovated, beautifully designed, great new touches that make the place seem like home. Really cannot thank Lisa enough for her kind and prompt communication - and the many 'goodies' left for our enjoyment! If you rent here, please do not trash the place in any way, so others can continue to enjoy the space!
