Fabulous House

My son, daughter, granddaughter and I stayed here during the CIM, watching my other granddaughter run her first Marathon. The house worked perfectly for our needs. It was very well appointed. "If they didn't have it, you didn't need it!" I have stayed at dozens of VRBO properties over the years, and this property was the most well equipped of all of them! The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Barb was very thorough with her check-in and check-out directions, and answered any and all questions very quickly. If we come back we will definitely try to stay there again!

Weekend of fun

We came down for a festival. I found this place and it was exactly what we needed. Barbara made the check in process super easy. She was very accommodating in allowing us to check in early. The house had everything we needed especially in the kitchen. Definitely a great experience overall. Would stay here in a heartbeat again.

Loved our stay!

We enjoyed our stay here! Clean, quiet home tucked away from the main street. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Air conditioning worked great! Barbara was a quick text away if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Place

Overall we enjoyed the place. Excellent communication. The Vrbo web site did not allow me to share the location with other guests and it always said" Pending" even after checking in still show the same! The mattress and pillows on the master was kind of old.

A fantastic stay!!

This home and the location were perfect for our needs. We wanted to hold a small family gathering and open house for a few friends for my father's 99th birthday celebration. From the start of our conversation with the hosts to the last click of the door as we left, it was a great experience. The home is spotless, extremely well-equipped, accessible for the wheelchair, spacious, lovely outdoor space, functional spaces and delightfully decorated. The location was perfect within Citrus Heights (could easily get to those places we needed to go for party prep, etc) and it's very close to my Father's adult care home. Our host was extraordinary. Very communicative, practical, accommodating and simply delightful. I would have loved to stay at least another week (mostly to recover from all the hub bub!) We could not be more pleased with our experience and profusely thank Barbara for being such a great human and wonderful host!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara and Scott Ruffner

We came to Citrus Heights and started our construction business 12 years ago, creating a successful business specializing in fire and water repairs. Construction has been in our blood for 35 years, and we have built many homes over the years.

When we purchased this beautiful piece of property, we knew that the peaceful atmosphere in the middle of the city was perfect for us. This house was designed, built, and decorated by us. While we love our home, we decided after retiring from our business that we would travel the country in our RV. However, this is still a home that we plan on coming back to eventually, so please treat this as you would your own home!

Sit on the decks, enjoy the outdoor kitchen, and appreciate the roosters crowing. Once the trees leaf out, it will be even more private, and since it is very shaded in the summer the cool breezes allow for enjoyable outdoor living!

Why they chose this property

While this property is situated in a suburb of Sacramento, and we are very close to I80, it is very quiet and private. There are many hospitals within short distances for traveling medical professionals, wineries either north, south and east of us, casinos, skiing or water sports in Lake Tahoe (99 miles) or Folsom Dam, many shopping experiences at either malls or quaint small towns in the area, and wonderful restaurants. We have spent many hours traveling to many special sites in the area. If you would like any recommendations, please contact us and we will be happy to share our experiences! We have always been explorers, whether it is hiking or off roading in our jeep, taking scenic drives, or checking out natural features.

What makes this property unique

Our home offers a great deal of privacy and seclusion with a great gourmet kitchen and large outdoor living area.

The office/bedroom has a private entrance. This room has a small desk with monitor, and twin portable bed if needed.

Sit on the deck(s), enjoy the outdoor kitchen, appreciate the hummingbirds, and listen to the roosters crow.
