Situated on the Sacramento River in the quiet town of Anderson, CA Riverside Homestays provides the perfect balance of serenity, close to nature and the wildlife we enjoy here, while at the same time being only a few minutes away from great Redding Restaurants, shopping opportunities, and all the beauty that Northern California offers.

Up to 8 people can relax in our brand new large hot tub which sits between the house and the cottage for all to enjoy!



The Riverhouse

This 2500sq foot executive home offers the rich ambiance of natural wood beams, large picture windows, and comfortable furnishings. The spacious open plan living area flows out to the expansive deck area that's perfect for large groups, family reunions and retreats. 3 comfortable bedrooms help everyone enjoy rest and refreshing nights of sleep. The large professional kitchen and 6 burner wolf stove with convection oven make cooking a pleasure. Consider hiring a private chef for a truly unique meal experience. Two bathrooms with showers are available for all your group needs but the large master suite also provides a private jacuzzi for a truly intimate escape while family and friends enjoy the rest of the property. On the back kitchen deck there is a full-sized washer and dryer to care for any washing needs that may be required with children or after enjoying one of the many adventures here in Northern California.



In the living room and the master bedroom there are Smart TVs you can enjoy watching. The Spectrum App works like cable TV with lots of channels. In the writing room, there is a tv monitor with HDMI cable so you can hook up your gaming device if you want to bring that with you.



The Cottage

The adjacent free-standing cottage is a great single bedroom love-nest with a comfortable queen bedroom and its own split A/C unit. The living area also can sleep 2 more adults on a queen air-mattress we store in the closet. In the shower area, there is also a small combo spin washer. A full kitchen enables guests to easily manage a different diet strategy if necessary.



Together up to 14 guests can enjoy the property together in beds for 4 couples plus 6 singles.

The 1-acre yard, a grand redwood deck, along with a riverside deck provide plenty of uncrowded space for everyone to enjoy.

This is a gated property for added safety and privacy. The electric gate opens with a different code beginning with the # symbol and closes with the key button next to the kitchen door of the house. Guests may find this code on the check in instructions in the Airbnb app.



The Neighborhood:

We live on a quiet dead-end street on the edge of the sleepy little city of Anderson, CA close to exit 670 of I-5. There is a public boat ramp at Anderson River Park about 1 mile east of us. Only 10minutes to the North is Redding and Bethel along with many wonderful dining and shopping opportunities. Theory Coffee Roasters is a local favorite. Don’t miss stopping at the very unique Sundial Bridge. Many people love going up to Mt Lassen National Park. The volcano blew it top less than 100 years ago and boiling mud pits are quite a site to behold. Shasta and Trinity County and known as adventure zones. Mt Shasta and Shasta Lake are great places to see too and it’s very easy to hire a party boat there. Fishing guides are available to take you out in the Sacramento River to find the best fishing spots.



Getting Around:

We are only 2 hours north of Sacramento, 3.5 hours north of San Francisco. Conveniently located close to the I-5 exit 670. We are also close to the Redding Airport and there are rental cars available there too. We are on a dead end street so only residents use this road making it safe and private.



Other Things to Note:

Pets are allowed but please clean up after your dog. We do provide some poo bags both the house and the cottage. Dogs must be house trained and no vicious dog breeds are allowed. There is a $50 pet cleaning fee added per dog to remove any allergens caused by shedding.. We do not allow pets in the pool nor hot tub nor alone in the house.



Wednesdays, our pool man will be on-site to perform the regular weekly pool maintenance. Our cleaner Carrie, is also available to assist with cleaning if you desire. She charges $25/hour. Our property manager lives in a studio unit behind the garage. Our maintenance team may be onsite working on a variety of ongoing projects during your stay but everyone will be respectful of your private holiday. You may see them on-site doing lawn care or taking care of the garden. Their private service area is in the basement and will use a separate service entrance so there are no shared areas officially on the property and rarely any direct contact.



If you need anything, please feel free to call or text us and we can usually respond quickly. My number is visible when you book and in my profile. Our property managers are Hannah and Jordan who live in the ground floor apartment. We send their phone number in an email so if something breaks or you can’t figure something out, they are always most helpful and considerate. They also provide safety and security on site.



Thank you for choosing Riverside Homestays.

Wonderful Property

We enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Sacramento River House! The accommodations are just as it was advertised. However, the view of the River is so much better in person. We will definitely stay at this property again!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay Rick. Each season has its own beauty too. Hiring a fishing guide can take you to some of the best places along the river and they provide all the gear you need to bring home some great fish to grill up for dinner too.

Piece of heaven on earth

We enjoyed our stay at the river house. We loved the views of the river from most of the house, the large backyard oasis and the swing down by the river. Staying on the river made the Redding heat so much more bearable and we loved spending the cool mornings and evenings down at the water. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Gorgeous Property with Superb Hosts

Our stay was fantastic and couldn’t have been better. Check in was smooth and seamless. When we requested an extra sheet set for the pullout bed, the hosts brought them right over. This house is incredible. It has all the creature comforts and amenities you’d need to entertain a family with a wide variety of ages. Add in the fact that the property is right on the river and we quickly realized we found the perfect spot for our long overdue family vacation. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing views but...

Pros: Amazing views & big swimming poolCons: Many things are broken or not working around the house, smelly bathrooms, dirty floor & bath towels (maybe the previous guests wore shoes inside the house), and the grass got a lot of duck poops & mosquitoes. My son got many bug bites inside the house and it swelled up to the point I had to take him to the hospital.

Riverhouse Pros and Cons

Overall we had a good time. Now for pros and cons... PROS- House was clean, cottage and studio were nice, pool was big and deep, plenty of outdoor seating, air conditioner was good and property size was big enough for yard games. CONS- No water pressure in the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Barely anything coming out of the kitchen sink. Duck poop everywhere. Ants in the kitchen the last day. Also ants around the pool area. BBQ tank was empty which they came and filled the next day. Security gate doesn't work. The river deck was broken months ago due to dam release but wasnt fixed for my trip which sucked because that was one of the main reasons I rented so I could bring boat and fish from. Ground is not safe for toddler down by the water because it goes downhill. Bird poop all over chairs and fire pit down by river which Rob did warn about bugs n birds so that was expected but needed to be cleaned to use. Couldn't get the key code to work on the cottage or the main house and when I called about it the house manager had an attitude. And the biggest issue was being told 1 month before that we didnt pay for how many were coming, which was paid 1 year before and had to go round n round with Rob and go through VRBO to get this resolved. So make sure you get in writing what u are renting becuase the number of people Rob says is being payed for and what the add says don't match. Luckly we finally got it settled but it caused undue stress the month before.
