Amazing property
Perfect location! Just a few minutes from everything you could possibly need. Very peaceful and serene property. Three ponds, with one available for fishing right outside our door. The hosts are available if you need them, but otherwise it's like they're not even there. We visited this property at the same time last year, for the first time. Needless to say, this place will probably be an annual tradition for us! Thank you Sandy & Tom, for sharing your amazing property with us, see you next year!

Beautiful in the end
I was looking forward to staying at this property because of the country setting. And that aspect of the property, was the highlight of my stay. Very peaceful. Lovely. I had a problem with some cleanliness issues, and contacted the owner who quickly resolved the issue, which I greatly appreciated . I do find positives and negatives with this property. The views are beautiful and it is definitely peaceful. However, I find the over abundance of children’s toys to be odd. I think they should be stored away. Also, the kitchen is very sparse with regard to spices, utensils, and cooking supplies. You should bring anything you think you need or else plan on eating out. I think the construction of the apartment is excellent. However, the interior could be greatly improved and updated. As a single person without a family, I am not that interested in looking at toys all over the place. Again I stress that the architectural design of the apartment is excellent but so much more could be done with it. I did not watch television, but I thought thought the futon should have pillows to make it more comfortable to watch TV. The place is small. If you have more than three people I think he would feel cramped. Would I return? Yes.

Comfortable country stay with kids
We drove up from the Bay Area to see friends that live nearby, and thought it would be nice to allow our twin 5 year old's to experience a little bit of nature. The guest suite delivered - clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Our children enjoyed feeding the animals, and making scrambled eggs (thank you Sandy). We "pretend" fished in the fish pond, just casting into the pond with the provided poles. It was lovely. We also took a hike on the Monte Vista trail (2 minutes or less away), which was perfect for little ones. Location is country, but a 5-7 minute drive to Safeway and restaurants.

Back home again
Very nice place brought back great memories of our home and time in Shingle Springs!! Great views and beautifully kept property. One improvement would be to add a stove/oven, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Thank you for your hospitality!

Quiet and peacerful
Very clean, and quiet. Great location, you feel out in the country, although very close to all El Dorado Hills/Folsom has to offer.

Rural respite
The guest house overlooks three ponds with a stream flowing into the first and onto the others. Across the pond we saw alpacas. There are also chickens and lots of wild turkeys and a friendly, sweet old Labrador that greeted us a few times. The accommodations were spacious and beautiful. It was chilly, so we didn’t spend much time outside. It would be fun to explore the property and greet the animals in warmer days. Truly a lovely rural spot and yet convenient to shops and restaurants about 10 minutes drive.

Great family experience
The suite was a perfect size for me, my wife, and our 2 year old son. It was 100 degrees outside but the A/C kept us cool inside the house. We got to feed the alpacas, chickens, ducks, and bunny on the property. We also caught fish, played in the mini playground, and best of all, hang out with their super friendly dog, Jack. Restaurants, supermarkets, Lake Natoma, and Folsom Lake, are all less than 15 minutes away. Must try the beef noodle soup at Rice Express, the fried chicken sandwich, Old Folsom burger, and Tiramisu cake at Represa Grill. The owner, Sandy was very nice and quick to respond to text messages. We really enjoyed our stay there and hope to visit again soon.
