This property is worth the money paid. The pool and spa are huge and well maintained. We are very pleased, my family members from around the Sacramento area were very happy and visited during the week we stayed and 14 came for a bbq, backyard party! Plenty of room and our dog loved it too
The home is a cozy cottage. Upon arriving the spa was ready and heated. The home was clean and comfortable. Favorite parts were the warm but roomy family room, spa and the large jet tub!

Our stay at the garden cottage was amazing!! Gingers attention to detail is something to see. Everything you could possibly need was provided and the pictures did not do her house justice. One of the best homes we have ever stayed at. Thank you Ginger!!
This lovely property exceeded all of our expectations! The house was beautifully furnished with so many thoughtful touches that made our stay truly exceptional. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could have needed to cook meals, and the abundance of games, toys, and items for babies/children was incredible. The pool was sparkling clean and the grounds were impeccably maintained.But what really made this stay so wonderful was the warm and welcoming hosts. They were a pleasure to interact with and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. This was hands down the best rental we've ever stayed in, and we can't wait to come back.
Property is beautiful and very well cared for. Met the owners and they are terrific. The property is tucked back from the street so it seems like you are away from people which was very relaxing. Just what we needed. And we really enjoyed the pool.

The property and has was even more amazing in person! Large fully fenced yard, lawn area, pool, and hot tub. On the same property as the owners but still secluded enough that you don’t feel like you’re a bother to anyone. Easy parking, full amenities throughout the house, cannot wait to stay again!
I met up with some friends to catch up. This was a perfect relaxing place to do that. Ginger was so gracious and accommodating! Loved it all!
