About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gorgeous Riverfront Home, VHR# 073569, TOT# T65183

Newly remodeled, spacious home on 4.5 acres, 300 ft of riverfront. 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, updated kitchen, wrap-around deck, 1 formal living room and 2 dens. Please note that, while the property appears to be private, there are neighbors close by. County ordinances prohibit excessive noise at any time, especially during quiet hours (10PM-8AM), and excessive noise may result in forfeiture of security deposit (loud noise or amplified music that may bother the neighbors is not allowed).

The space
Spacious home with 300 feet of waterfront on the South Fork American River. 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, updated kitchen, large wrap-around deck, 1 formal living room and 2 dens, 4 woodstoves. Beds include 1 king and 2 queens. The main level has 3 bedrooms, each with a nearby bathroom.

Riverfront - 4WD vehicles can drive down to the river area from the house, or there is a pathway to walk down as well. For those interested in swimming or dipping their feet into the water, please note that the entry into the river can be rocky and slippery; we do not have an easy sandy beach access area, so please use caution.

Guest access
Entire home, 4-acre yard with 300 feet riverfront. Please note: There is an outdoor flagstone patio located under the oak trees that IS NOT accessible to guest use. This area is for use of owners only. Our apologies for excluding this area, but It is too close to the neighbor's house and use of the patio ALWAYS results in a complaint or call to the sheriff, regardless of time of day/night.

Other things to note

Campfires: Are prohibited due to new county vacation rental regulations.

River chairs: There are red adirondack chairs at the riverfront that are locked with a cable lock. The code is 9110. Please return the chairs to the original location and relock after use.

Internet: We have the best internet service available in this valley. It is often slow and sometimes unreliable.

Phones: Please note that AT&T cell phones may not in this area. Verizon and Sprint both work well.

Pets: Pets are not allowed.

Smoking: Please do not smoke inside the house.

Televisions: There are 3 TVs - one in master bedroom, one in upstairs den, and a large flatscreen in the downstairs den. These are all smart TVs for using Netflix/Amazon/DVDs, etc., but please note there is NO CABLE/SATELLITE service available.

There are two properties that share the riverfront area (6791 and 6801). You may encounter folks from the other house, though there is plenty of riverfront space to spread out.

Please note that this area has a strict noise ordinance for quiet hours starting at 10PM. Please be respectful of this time limit, as noise travels quite well along the river. Also, excessive noise or loud amplified music are not allowed at any time.

River fun: Water flows on the South Fork of the American River are controlled by the upriver Chili Bar Dam. Water is released at certain times of the day and certain days of the week, which fluctuates throughout the year and depending on rain conditions and power needs. Please check Dreamflows website for a schedule of anticipated release times, and note that the water typically rises at our house around 1-2 hours after release from the dam.

The River Store nearby should be able to take care of your watersports needs. The section of the river that the house is on, is called "C to G", and is ~ class 2 whitewater. Our home is located downriver from a rapid called Gremlin, and just upriver from a rapid called Old Scary.

Access to the American River or just sit on the deck and listen to the upstream rapids, geese flying in or watch and listen to the rafters as they have great fun rafting the river. Wonderful amenities and just minutes to Coloma and Placerville to delve into gold rush history.

Perfect house above the river
Great house and location. The kitchen was the most equipped we have ever seen. Living spaces were huge, master bedroom was isolated away from the living area and very quiet. In the morning we could open all the windows and sliding glass doors to the deck which was a perfect place to drink coffee, watch the deer, and enjoy the view.

A Hideaway Gem
We booked this property to be near the wedding venue at Bayley's Barn in Pilot Hill. It was everything it promised to be. We lingered on the veranda in the mornings with coffee and in the evenings with Prosecco. The only unfortunate part was that the roll down shades were broken and we had to hand wash all the dishes, cutlery, and glassware before using. Otherwise everything was great!

Mixed Review
This is a lovely home and mostly very clean. Our big issue was the oven and stove. We couldn’t use the oven because it smoked so badly…we ultimately figured out the cleaning cycle and cleaned it ourselves. The stove top was quite greasy and required cleaning before we used it. The host was very pleasant, but difficult to get hold of and did not help resolve the cleaning issues.

This house is AMAZING!
We stayed here with friends that we hadn’t seen since before COVID, and this house was the PERFECT setting for our reunion! The house has everything you could possibly need - to say the kitchen is fully stocked is an understatement. The rooms are cozy, there is plenty of room to spread out and visit, the deck so super spacious snd has beautiful views and the river area was fantastic! Serene and private. We loved it, can’t wait to come back!

Amazing Property
This was an amazing rental that met all our needs. Definitely spacious for 8 people. Beautiful home and beautiful scenery. We fully enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the river. The kitchen was well stock with cookware and spices and condiments. We love items that are left behind for the next guests and not thrown out. This was an A+ experience and I would highly recommend.

Wonderful property. Location was easy to access with many places to visit nearby. Perfect spot to escape to enjoy special family time. For us it was less than a 15 minute drive to participate in all family events with easy drive which was important since we were not familiar with the area.

Utter bliss
Fantastic location for nature lovers. Fox, deer (fawns, bucks, does), quail, songbirds all in abundance and not at all shy. We found activites for all ages and inclinations, including botanical gardens, fine dining (in Placerville), an abundance of historical sites and museums, river rafting and miles of hiking trails, many of which are also good for running and biking. The house was spacious and the kitchen well-equipped for gourmet cooks. Wide choice of books to browse, and board games and puzzles, for when the weather invites you to stay indoors. Highly recommend this unique spot!

This place was everything we were looking for! The house/cabin was a great size for 6 adults and 1 child with river access less than a two-minute walk away. It was extremely clean and had every amenity you would need - especially the kitchen. There is plenty to see and do just a very short drive away, we were delighted with our stay. Stacey was always prompt and kind with her responses. Thank you for sharing your home!

I Loved this house! It had everything we needed and was so beautiful. The house was very nice inside and out. The deck was Amazing! I loved the view from the deck of the river and watching the rafts go by. We went to this area to go whitewater rafting for a few days and had a blast!
