From easy check in to locking up it was a wonderful stay. The interiors looked to all be freshly remodeled. Kitchen had all that we needed, including ample pantry space. Lots of seating, inside and out including down at river level. Spacious bedrooms all had beautiful furniture. We will definitely book this house again.

Relaxed at the River

A perfect quick getaway for our family. Enjoyed everything this location and home had to offer. Just enough to do without having to leave. Kids loved exploring the river on floats, skipping rocks, playing board games, smores by the fire, and a little hot tub time. Thank you for sharing this little gem of a spot.

True to listing

Very nice place near several cute little downtowns. No issues with the place which was very clean and well provisioned. The only watch out is the river. The rock are covered in moss and there is no shade so not ideal if you hope for days playing on the water.

Another great stay

This is our second consecutive year staying at the river house and it was wonderful for both visits. Very quiet property with lots of space. Outside is also wonderful as you have direct access to the Consumnes River. My kids really enjoy the room they get to stay in, as it has some cool bunk beds and a Pac-Man arcade cabinet to keep them entertained. Kitchen worked great for us to prepare multiple meals for breakfast and dinner, and I was able to use outside grill with no issues for a tasty Friday night BBQ meal. When not at the property we were able to visit Placerville and other surrounding towns very easily. Great stay for all of us, and I plan to visit again in the future!

Fantastic Peaceful Getaway

Lovely house inside and outside. The house was nicely appointed and the decor was done thoughtfully. The kitchen is fully furnished with cooking utensils, dishes, cookware, etc. It was also nice to have the BBQ grills available for grilling dinner. We also really enjoyed sitting by the fire pit to wind down the night. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. While all these features would entice us return, the location right on the river has us talking about our next trip there! It was glorious to spend the warm day floating in the water and melting away the stresses of life! We will definitely return.

Relaxing River Vacation

This is a lovely river side house that is nicely renovated, comfortable and attractively furnished. Our family was looking for a great place to relax in a change of scenery. We enjoyed several of the amenities like the patio, porches, fire pit, PacMan video game. The river side patio was positioned under a tree that provided shade where we could relax while watching our children wade and use our float. The river is not fast moving or deep, but it was cool and refreshing. We prepared meals in the well equipped kitchen and grill. We played games as a family after dinner. The location is remote, so we were impressed by the owner's ability to provide reliable Wifi internet which allowed us to stay connected. Great place to relax!

Amazing gem in paradise

Spent 3 nights here with my mom, 20 and 16 year old sons. Everyone of us enjoyed our stay. My 16 year old son loved the double bunk beds, pac man game and board games. The 20 year old enjoyed using the charcoal grill. My mom loved the hot tub. I wanted to move in to that master suite. We all loved the river! The river was a little shallow but calm and relaxing. Weather was perfect (july). The home is well equipped, kitchen supplies, gadgets, towels, shampoo, conditioner and other basics which was super helpful as i forgot some things. I cant say enough good things about this place. It is so spacious inside and out! Lots of seating and comfy furniture throughout! Great communication from the host. I will definitely be back!

We had a truly magical time at the River House for a weekend birthday getaway with our two young children. We chose the location for its proximity to Apple Hill (a 30 minute drive) figuring we could visit the farms early in the day and relax at the house in the afternoons/evenings. The house is very clean and well-appointed with a fully stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds and furniture. The outdoor space is impressive, with an expansive deck that overlooks a beautiful stretch of the Cosumnes River. The best part is the private river access just steps from the back door. We had a blast playing in the river, which had a gentle current and was only about 3-4 feet deep. The kids appreciated the bunk beds, PacMan and games in their room, and taking walks around the property marveling at the wildlife. We saw fish, a family of river otters, turkeys, hawks, deer, lizards, bats, and owls.The adults appreciated the hot tub (complete with mood lighting and a waterfall!) and crisp mornings sipping coffee on the deck watching the sun rise over the hills beyond the river.John was a diligent and caring host. He sent us easy check-in instructions in advance of our trip. When we arrived, he was quick to answer a question I had about connecting to the internet (our fault, not his). Thanks John for sharing the River House with us. We’ll be back!

Great house

We really enjoyed our stay at the River House and was impressed with it - the pictures were nice online, but the real thing is even better. One can tell when a property is prepped for VRBO only - cheap beds, minimum furniture, etc - well, this house is NOT like that! Lots of LOVE went into the house and the fact that the owner has their cabinet there locked, means that they also enjoy the house themselves - not just "out there to make a buck." The kitchen is very well equipped and both the sofas and beds are motorized (we did not even know until we read about it), like in a first class plane cabin. The river is great and it's a stone-throw away - right behind the house! We also met a couple neighbors and they are very nice folks. The house is next to a highway but it is not noisy at all (very sparse traffic and almost no traffic at night). We would (and probably will) go back here! John was also very helpful and very easy to communicate with. And finally, we liked the small memos here and there - such as which switch turns what - very helpful.
