Restored Home on Verdant Property with Fishing Pond
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Restored Home on Verdant Property with Fishing Pond is a vintage, restored farm-stay style home in the Penryn/North Auburn area of the United States. It sits on a bucolic foothills property under towering oak trees, with a year-round creek and an idyllic fishing pond. The property is smoke-free and enforces quiet hours after 10pm in a quiet residential neighborhood.
Natural setting & outdoor recreation
A major draw is the on-site pond stocked with bass and bluegill for catch-and-release fishing, plus seasonal fruit trees guests can pick from depending on the time of year. Wildlife sightings are a notable part of the experience, with guests reporting frequent appearances of deer, turtles, and ducks. Use of the pond and related activities is at guests’ own risk per the property’s liability waiver.
Home features
The home includes a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, a washer, and an ironing board. For downtime, there’s a 4K TV with streaming options, along with indoor/outdoor seating and an outdoor grill. Guests should note the home is strictly no smoking, no pets (due to severe allergies), and no parties or large groups.
Location & nearby highlights
The surrounding area offers access to regional nature and culture, including Auburn State Recreation Area and Folsom Powerhouse, plus Bernhard Museum Complex and Tower Theater. Nearby points of interest also include Quarry Park and Gold Country Fairgrounds. For dining, options range from Valencia Club (VC) (about 753 m) to Penryn Grill (about 2.1 km), Greenhouse Penryn (about 2.0 km), and High-Hand Cafe (about 4.5 km).
Best for
This stay best suits travelers who want a quiet, nature-forward foothills property with on-site fishing and wildlife viewing, backed by a restored-home feel. It’s also a strong fit for longer stays that benefit from practical conveniences like a full kitchen, washer, and air conditioning. Guests seeking party-friendly accommodations or traveling with pets should look elsewhere due to strict house rules.
Travel tips
Sacramento International Airport is roughly 40 km away, so plan a car-based arrival and local driving for dining and area attractions. Quiet hours begin after 10pm, and the property does not allow large groups, parties, smoking, or pets. If you plan to fish, note it is catch-and-release, and pond/boat use is at your own risk under the property’s waiver.
