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.
