The Charming Home with a Pool, Hot Tub, & Fire Pit
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
This is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation home located in a quiet residential neighborhood on the south side of a California town, with quick access to Highway 99. It offers a warm, cozy, home-like atmosphere designed for weekend getaways or weekday business stays, sleeping guests across three queen beds (with a queen air mattress available on request).
Amenities & Recreation
The property's standout features are its outdoor swimming pool, stand-alone hot tub, and fire pit, all set in a backyard with trees, plants, and bushes. The pool is unheated and includes a shallow wading/seating area that is separate from the hot tub; a professional service cleans both once a week, and guests are given a skimmer for incidental debris. Additional amenities include air conditioning and heating, a full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, a washer, free Wi-Fi, free two-car driveway parking, cable TV, an ironing board, and a crib for young children.
Policies & Services
The home is strictly smoke-free both indoors and outdoors, with a $250 cleaning fee charged for violations. The host is reachable by messenger, text, or phone throughout the stay, and a father-son landscaping crew tends the yard weekly on Sunday mornings.
Location & Dining
Several bus stations sit within roughly 800-900 meters, including Bogue Rd P&R and Bogue Rd & Ramona Ave, though the area is best navigated by car. A wide range of dining is within a few kilometers, from Tasty Tavern Bistro and Chili's Grill & Bar to Sizzler, Delicious Dumpling House, Pete's Restaurant and Brewhouse, Sutter Buttes Brewing, Lumberjack's Restaurant, Ranch House Steak House, and the more distant First Bite halal restaurant. Sacramento International Airport is about 45.7km (roughly a 32-minute drive) away.
Best for
This home suits families, groups, and pet owners seeking a private, pool-and-hot-tub equipped retreat rather than a standard hotel room, thanks to its three bedrooms, kitchen, crib, and pet-friendly policy. It also works well for weekday business travelers needing a quiet residential base with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and easy Highway 99 access, or weekend leisure travelers drawn to the pool, hot tub, and fire pit.
Travel tips
A car is the most practical way to get around, since the home sits in a residential area with easy Highway 99 access, though several bus stops are within about 800-900 meters. Budget roughly 32 minutes for the drive to or from Sacramento International Airport, and plan meals around the many nearby restaurants, from casual chains like Chili's and Sizzler to local spots like Tasty Tavern Bistro and Ranch House. Note the weekly Sunday morning landscaping visit and unheated pool when planning swim times, especially in cooler weather.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the home's cleanliness, spaciousness, and inviting interior, along with the quality and cleanliness of the pool. The safe, pleasant neighborhood setting and proximity to numerous restaurants and shops are frequently highlighted as major positives. Recurring minor criticisms include overgrown trees near the front of the property and a need for more upkeep in the backyard and pool area, as well as a request for mirrors to be added in two of the bedrooms.
