Very happy, exceeded expectations. Hope to stay again! Felt like a cross between an amazing bed and breakfast and a resort. Had everything we needed, and so restful and beautiful place. Beautiful backyard. Can’t say enough. Hope to stay again!
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. The gladiolas are fully blooming and gorgeous and your sweet notes were heartwarming to say the least!
We hope to see you again the next time you come to town or need a special place for your family to gather. You are always welcome! Many Blessings,
Ginger and Joe
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

Hello Gecille,
Thank you for your wonderful review. We feel just as strongly that you and your family are wonderful guests. We are honored to have had you stay in our home.
Kindest regards,
Ginger and Joseph
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.
It was a beautiful property with an outstanding setting. We had a few questions and the owner was right on top of it helping us out. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone. It was very quiet and serene.
Beautiful Property. Very clean, great pool and beautiful yard. Everything was beautiful and loads of extras. Loads of games and books to read. House is on a community lot but is easy to access. Would stay here again.
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 was cozy and perfect for a family with a baby. Pool and Hot Tub were incredible opportunities to have family and relaxation time. Thank you for opening your home up it is incredibly peaceful and lovely.
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!!
Great home with a large back yard. Lots of toys for children and a great pool and hot tub.
