This cozy studio is nicely furnished with lots of windows and beautiful views of Folsom Lake. The bedroom has a specular view that is worth the visit.

This is our 3rd time staying here and it is a perfect location overlooking the lake with a path to the lake nearby. The unit is well equipped with all the creature comforts: soft towels in abundance; comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen; washer/dryer; good shower, etc. Just the best!

We visited family in the area and stayed here Sat through Tues. The bed was the most comfortable for us because its a memory foam, like we have at our own home. We gave the cleanliness 4/5 due to a few areas in the kitchenette floor had some spillage that was not wiped up from the maids. Looked to be something from the trash can was removed and they just didn't see what dripped on the floor, so not a big deal to report as we just wiped that up. The outside of the front area of this home had a lot of leaves debris, and it looked unkept, but we figured their gardeners may not have been there, or there was a wind storm ? Anyway, the rest of the unit was clean and it was separated from the guests in the main house. The only thing that was disturbing was the parking situation. The parking pad on the street was only big enough for 2 vehicles. The guests in the main unit had 5-7 cars at anytime and they didn't park well at all. The host did have to contact them upon arrival and then we had to bang on their door to ask them to fix their parking situation the next day as well. The host apologized for this inconvenience and provided a small gift upon check out, which we appreciated the acknowledgement of the parking issue we experienced. We liked the area where this home is located. We felt safe and it was quiet enough to get some rest after our long days of family visits. This host was great with communication and fairness of nightly rate for this unit.

Donna is a top tier host, everything was perfect. The Casita exceeding our expecations. The views and proximity to the Lake were fantastic. Donna communicates extremely well and all our needs were met. We can't wait to be back and hope someday to rent out the Main house!

Perfect for a honeymoon or a family stay. But know your children if you take little ones. My grandkids stayed the night twice, but only because they listen well. If it had been my other daughter’s children, the stairs would have been too inviting a play area. I could never have taken them. However, my youngest daughter’s kids (4, 10, 15) are every parent’s dream. I only had to tell the 4 yo once (day one) to stay off the stairs. The stairs are inside, so heavy (beach?) items can be left downstairs.
We all loved playing on the beach and fooling around in the water. The walk there was easy (after climbing the driveway). It brought joy to my heart to see my grandkids (and adult children) have so much fun playing in the water.
The set up is very lovely. The master bedroom has a large king sized bed, a coffee table with 2 chairs, night stands, entrance to the laundry room and bathroom, walk in closet with plenty of space for just about anything. And it’s well stocked! Bath robes (2), extra pillows, blankets, (I think) a privacy screen (I didn’t need to use it so can’t be sure), etc.
Romance is in the air with the glass enclosed, gas fireplace between the bedroom and living room. You can watch your kids from the bed or put up the privacy screen.
The kitchen is well stocked. Pots, pans, other cooking things are left of the fridge. There wasn’t anything I needed that I needed to cook that I didn’t find in the pantry or drawers. Spices are above the stove, amazingly well stocked.🥰😍❤

My 15 year old daughter and I rent this Casita whenever my daughter has a mountain bike race in Granite Bay. This place is just perfect for two people, and an easy bike ride to the park and lakefront (and starting line). It's always clean, has a well equipped kitchen and bathroom, and parking is easy. Donna is also easy to communicate with, friendly, and so reasonable. I highly recommend the Casita for anyone looking to get away. An added bonus is every time we stay here, my daughter wins her race! So there's that, too. 😄

This is the third time my daughter and I have stayed here when we attend the TBF races. The casita is perfect for us two and so close to trails and the lake - we rarely use the car once we are here. The casita is clean and well equipped- I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Granite Bay.

Donna is wonderful!!!

We had to find a place to stay temporarily… and Donna was willing to work with and our schedules. She’s been an amazing host. The best we’ve rented from.

This was just the right home base for us this weekend. Donna made sure we had everything we needed. We barely had time to scratch the surface of all the area has to offer. Glorious view of the sunrise over the lake. Hope to come and stay again!

Wow! Where to begin our amazing weekend away.
The location was PERFECT! Yes you can walk down to the bay from the house. It was a bit more work for us with a little one going down the hill, but it was perfect for the 1st day since the weather wasnt the greatest.
The casita is just like the photos. This place had EVERYTHING you needed. Seasonings for food, syrup for pancakes, coffee etc. Even ziplocks ans tupperwear. I loved that everything was labeled (what sheets went to what, extra towels etc). No need for ac the bay breeze was great. We had two cars and followed donnas directions. Our car safe in the extra lot down the street.
The place was just what we need for our family. We had a great stay. If you want to take a trip down memory lane check out there dvd collection.this is definitely a favorite place and will be back next summer! Thanks so much Donna.

Donna is a wonderful host. She’s there if you need her, but isn’t intrusive.
The Casita was everything we had hoped. Lake Folsom is beautiful and has hiking trails if you are so inclined.
A great place to stay. We will be back.

4.0 / 10.0
Note, this is the first negative review I'm writing after many VRBO stays.
The Casita is WITHIN the main home, so you're sharing space with other guests and the walls are thin. The family staying in the main home was incredibly loud and up till 2:30/3:00 am. Every time they slammed a door, the entire Casita shook. The only thing separating the Casita from the main home is a glass sliding door, so with several young men staying in the main house, I was not comfortable with just the clear slider separating us. The space appeared to be in slight disrepair. For example, a large mirror was laying against the bedroom wall and appeared to have fallen off long ago. And the closet light would come on randomly during the night. The smart TV has no instructions so wasn't able to get it to work. The one parking spot requires you to schlep up a long flight of stairs and a VERY steep driveway. Don't bring groceries or much of anything you don't want to drag up and down the driveway and stairs. Not a great place for a woman traveling alone due to previously mentioned glass divider. Neighborhood has many Trump flags flying still (Oct 2022), but the lake access is great.

Fantastic! Ease of assimilation. I'll remain until the 18th IF I could/can. My 3 other VRBO canceled while I was at SHOWINGS. Cancelation at such Late terminus, 6- 22 hr then @ 24hr. My flight out is on the 18th. I have 5 scheduled tours tomorrow.

It was ok.
1. Didn’t get check-in info. until less than an hour before scheduled arrival.
2. Couldn’t work smart tv. Asked for help. None forthcoming.
3. Shower rod and curtain crashed onto my wife’s head when she took her first shower. Very cautious and careful after that!

Amaazing Falsom lake views
Stayed here for a couple of nights to attend my nephews wedding celebrations. Perfectly maintained with one big befroom and a great living area. Great breeze comins from the lake. Did a couple of trail hikes by the lake. Bed was great. Had a comfortable stay. No issues

Folsom Lake slice of Heaven
Driving over the hill to the house your greeted with an expansive view of the lake that is beautiful. Used caution walking down the steep driveway to the welcoming entrance. Upon entering the front door your greeted with a staircase up to the cottage living area which is very comfortable, lovely views and lots of conveniences. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the lovely lakeshore. Lots of entertainment nearby and boat rental facilities at the nearby marinas. Donna the owner was available by text our entire visit and accommodating. Go for it!

The Perfect Little Getaway
We stayed in the Casita; the lake view is beautiful, the bed is comfortable, the shower is awesome and the lake shore trails are lovely and relaxing. Our host, Donna, took very good care of us. Thank you, Donna!
We also rented some Oru Inlet foldable kayaks at SUP California in Folsom and we went kayaking on Lake Natoma. It was the perfect little getaway!

Perfect!
We loved, loved, loved our stay here! The suite is beautiful, with classy, comfortable furniture and stunning lake views. The garden in front is sweet and calming; I loved sitting on the little balcony, looking at the garden while I sipped my morning beverage. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed, and we were able to cook meals. My favorite? This place is perfect for a person with allergies: The cleaning products used are very low-scent, there is absolutely no mold, and the living room furniture is leather. The only caution I would give is about stairs: Guests must be able to walk a steep driveway and climb 16 steps in a single, long staircase. The top step is the first step into the kitchen, with no landing. If I had toddlers, I would be nervous about them falling down the stairs, because the stairs start right next to the kitchen table. That was not a concern for us, though, because our children are older. We LOVED staying here, and hope to stay again in the future. Thank you, Donna!

What can I say? The Casita is Perfection!!
I have stayed at this location numerous times, and will continue to do so. I travel regularly into the area, and have no desire to stay anywhere else. The location is right on Folsom Lake. A great area for running, which I do. Quiet neighborhood and close to amenities. Donna, the host, is great!!

Paradise & Serenity at the Casita
This place never disappoints. I go here every trip to the Sacramento area. Perfect accommodations. The owners are 5 Star. Excellent communication. Look out the windows to see Folsom Lake. Running trail. Great neighborhood, quiet.
