Breathtaking Views!
In town for a wedding at Forest Hill Lodge. Two couples. We booked 2 nights to take advantage of the fall weather. We couldn't have been happier with the property. Secluded, newer home with all working appliances. Only about an hour's drive from the Sacramento area. Took us 50 minutes from Folsom.

Beautiful views
This is a beautiful home with gorgeous canyon views. The sunlight does come in bright and early and there aren’t window coverings in the two main bedrooms. So if you aren’t an early riser and don’t use a sleep masks, you woukd want to consider that.

Great spot
We got rained out from some nature adventures by oddball August weather, but the home was beautiful and property and views are great, which helped us make the most of a mostly indoors stay. No problems with host or communicatiins, everything was smooth.

A Great Escape!
My husband and I had a relaxing and peaceful stay. The view was amazing and walking through the door and taking it in never got old over the course of our four night stay. The home was immaculate, comfortable, and well-stocked. The locals were very friendly and welcoming. We had a tasty breakfast at Mega's Cafe and made several trips to Worton's Market for groceries. We also went into Auburn one evening and had a delicious meal at Josephine's French Restaurant. Finally, we went to the Ralston Picnic area which was about 25-30 minutes from the house and it was a pretty and secluded little area along the American River that we basically had all to ourselves with exception of two kayakers who left shortly after we arrived. In all, it was a great little escape from our everyday lives. Carlie was a gracious and responsive host, and I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful home.

Fantastic Stay in Foresthill
We had an amazing stay at Carlie's Foresthill home. The house was so thoughtfully decorated + came fully stocked with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Carlie was very responsive when we reached out with any questions and her directions for how to use things in the house were very thorough and clear. My absolute favorite part of the house was just how stunning the views were - from every single room in the house you had the most breath-taking views. I would recommend this house to anyone who is coming to Foresthill for a getaway or for a wedding in town - it's the perfect location where you feel secluded but it's so easy to get to town. Cannot recommend this property enough. Thank you, Carlie for a wonderful stay!

Picturesque and remote
Beautiful property overlooking forested gorge. Recent 2022 Mosquito fire burned through the area, but plenty of forest and views remain. Only suggestion, not necessarily a complaint, is the house lacks any window coverings and the sun and heat (especially in the summer months) can be overwhelming. It was 72 degrees during our stay and remote shades would have been nice. Peaceful and updated getaway home.

Peaceful and Beautiful
Four of us stayed here for New Year's and enjoyed our stay. The views are outstanding but do understand that this home is amongst a burned (and recovering) area. It was quiet and peaceful. Although the kitchen is nicely appointed in terms of all manner of appliances, if you intend to really cook in this beautiful kitchen, you may want to bring your favorite pot or pan.

Views for days!
Loved the relaxing feel of this property. Very quiet and serene. No matter what anyone in town says about the views from various places, the very best were from the beautiful back deck. Take a minute to bop into the cute shops in town. Also, the IGA grocery store was very well stocked! Loved our stay.

Amazing views from a beautifully outfitted modern getaway
Truly an amazing modern home which is beautifully outfitted with art and furniture. An expansive view of the Desolation Wilderness mountains set right on the Western States trail. Great sleepy mountain community of Foresthill with just enough food and entertainment to offer options to staying put in this great home. We will be back.

Beautiful and relaxing stay
This house is amazing to stay in. It’s beautiful and clean and has an amazing view. For the overall rating I have it a 4 out of 5 stars because while the house is very new, the hot tub outside seems very old. It didn’t keep its heat long and even got chilly before we decided to get out. Other than that, it’s a very nice place to stay. Will definitely come back.
