Wonderful Property within Walking Distance to Old Town Folsom

We extremely enjoyed our stay. The property was wonderfully located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to old town Folsom where we enjoyed eating at several yummy pubs and restaurants. We enjoyed long walks around the lake and visited the local zoo. The property was very nicely updated and clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend and plan to stay here again when I come back to Folsom.

Wonderful !

We loved our week at the cottage. It is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything needed to be “at home” while away from home, including a very comfortable bed. Also, the location is quiet and an easy short walk to the charming town.

Super clean and modern cottage

Cottage, located above a garage up a flight of stairs, was super nice and comfortable. Nice outdoor deck for dining as well. Well equipped kitchen, big shower, and a/c for the hot days. Very short walk to historic Folsom, and a walking and bike trail along the American River.

Love this cottage!

Every time we stay in Folsom, we stay here. Perfect 1/1 for my husband and me and our two small pups. Right next to MILES of cycling/jogging trails and the river, mere steps to historic Folsom with all its shops and eateries, but nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Maureen is lovely always. One of our TOP rental experiences. Highly recommend.

A Heavenly Place

Our stay here has been fantastic. We love the location, which is a few blocks to the Folsom Historic District, including restaurants, shops and coffee places. Also it is within walking distance to trails along the Folsom Lake. This unit is well equipped with everything you could want. It is artfully decorated. It is well furnished with a very comfortable bed. The deck is surrounded by trees with sun and shade and equipped with tables and chairs. The owners are friendly, responsive and helpful! We have stayed here previously and it is still as lovely as we remembered it. This is a gem of a heavenly place! We highly recommend it!!

Perfect location either with out without dogs.

With my dogs, I loved that I could get on a trail along the river right from the apartment. Without you are also a few blocks from the interesting old town. The owners are attentive to detail, responsive and have provided everything you need for a great and comfortable stay.

Fabulous getaway!

We had an amazing time! We didn’t get out much except to the lake but boy, did we make use of the spool! It’s big enough to do 4-5 crawl strokes depending on how tall (long?) you are - big enough for my 3 year old and I. Maureen, Tom, Rocky & Nala were impeccable hosts! The cottage is MUCH better than the pics posted. It’s beautiful, spotless and very well stocked! We’re looking forward to staying here again next year. This was my first time using VRBO and if this stay was indicative of what I have to look forward to, I will be a frequent user. 5 stars!

Little Piece of Heaven

I stayed at this cute cottage with my husband, 2 kids and dog for a week, and absolutely loved every minute of it. My kids loved hanging out in the spool while my husband and I enjoyed the lovely surroundings. The area is quite and the neighbors across the way were really nice, they give us suggestions of where to go and which restaurants to try. There's lots to do and lots of new places to eat. The owners were super nice and accommodating. We had fresh cookies and jam waiting for us when we arrived. We would love to come back and spend time in our favorite town and lake. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

Stay here! It is amazing

Where to start? The cottage had everything - fast WiFi, amazingly efficient air conditioning, beautiful furnishings, comfortable bed, kitchen with everything (stocked Keurig, cooking pans, utensils, big frig, etc). Quiet streets to walk the dog. Super close to downtown Folsom. We were moving into our new home and the location was perfect as it a couple miles from supermarkets, target, furniture stores and all the other places we had to grab things for the new house. The owners obviously have this process down pat. Efficient and easy checkin and secure locking up process. The unit has been newly remodeled and is gorgeous. There is wonderful natural light without direct sunlight. There is a relaxing outdoor deck that has giant shady trees and is home to two entertaining squirrels. I could go on and on. Stay here!

Attention to detail

The big stuff everyone knows...location, cozy cottage, clean and comfortable etc etc but the beauty is in the details. Like... a bottle of good wine, fully stocked Keurig, half & half, dog bowls for any puppy, welcome board with local activities on it. This makes you feel thought of and really welcomed.

About the host

Hosted by Maureen Picarella

We love old town Folsom! This picture was our 30th anniversary photo, taken at a favorite spot on the American River, just steps from our home and the cottage. As a working couple, we know how hard it is to fit in quality time...living in this area gives us the opportunity to be active with our family/dogs, get out to dinner, shop and enjoy all of the events the Historic District has to offer. All without ever getting in our car. Maureen has spent over 30 years working in the field of property management. Remodeling this cottage and making it comfortable for our guests came naturally!

We look forward to meeting each of you and hope you feel as at home!

Why they chose this property

Yes, you can stay in a hotel nearby...but why, when you can spend time in this comfortable, modern cottage? As close as you can get to the action in old town Folsom, yet so peaceful and quiet when you're ready to relax.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, private location, yet a few minutes walk away from everything the Historic District has to offer. Owners on site, very responsive to questions or concerns that may come up.
