About this property

The Garden Cottage House with stunning large pool/jacuzzi, baby grand piano

From this centrally located country home and garden, you can unwind and enjoy small family get-togethers. You will find surprises at every turn as it is entirely equipped with every possible amenity that one could hope for and more.
The gorgeous park-sized pool and spa is superb. The jacuzzi is large enough for small children to swim! The pool is surrounded by beautiful landscaping, jasmine vines, and baby fruit trees. The heating of the jacuzzi and/or pool is not included in the base price but varies by season. Please ask for details. A BBQ is available if you are more of an outdoor gourmet! Enjoy the garden views of the sunset poolside or make s’mores at the fire pit. There is a children's playground outdoors with a cozy toddler swing, regular swing and a trapeze bar. There is plenty of space indoors for play and activities. Games, cards, juggling, puzzles for all ages, an oversized smart t.v., a large array of books, cookbooks, etc... Adults and supervised children can play piano on the stunning electric baby grand piano. This property feels like a private oasis in the middle of the city.
A private gate encloses the front yard at night and the large back yard is completely enclosed . An outdoor Ring/Doorbell camera faces the entrance/entry pathway for extra security. A smart lock allows you to have your own personal entry code. All night "partying" and in/out guests will be asked to leave. We welcome caring folks to enjoy the special beauty of this home and the stunning backyard with a diverse array of flora and fauna. Special events by permission only with possible event fee. Ask about non-shedding tiny pets with pet fee by permission on occasion. No allergens may be introduced. Thank you.
Thus, if this fits you, then we welcome you to book this nearly historical estate home in the heart of Citrus Heights and centrally located in the entire Sacramento region.
Hosts are always available to help, assist, and guide you to a memorable experience.

We had an amazing time. Ginger is an amazing host. We arrived a little early and was able to meet her and her daughter. Not only were they so accommodating but they are just genuinely nice people. The property was well stocked and had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were beautiful and amazing. Thank you so much Ginger for such a lovely stay. We will definitely stay with them again.

Hi Linda, It was so nice to meet you and so fun to get to help you set up! Thank you for both beautiful bouquets of flowers.

My family fully enjoyed our stay here. Both the inside and the backyard of the house were clean, spacious, and comfortable. We appreciated the air conditioning indoors and having our own private pool with shaded areas to cool down in the summer heat! The house is centrally located in the Sacramento area, near many restaurants and stores. Our hostess, Ginger, was friendly and accommodating and quick in responding to my messages. We would definitely rent this house again. 10/10

We had our annual sisters trip and it was amazing. Joe and Ginger were wonderful host. They were there for anything we needed. The house was comfortable, clean , and absolutely beautiful. The beds were comfortable. We spent most of our time outdoors because the weather was perfect but most of all the backyard was amazing. We spent a lot of time in the pool and sauna. The house was very well equipped. We will definitely come back again.
