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

This is our second year staying in the house and we love it. It’s a beautiful location and fully stocked. The house is bigger than it appears in the photos. Look forward to staying here again and the future.
Perfect house for our annual reunion on the South Fork. It was so easy to fix meals, play games and watch the world series! The parking was plentiful and the views from the deck were beautiful!!
We loved it!
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.
We (grandpa, grandma, daughters (2), sonsinlaw (2), 3 yr old grandsons (2)) stayed here in mid December. The property is gorgeous with extensive riverfront and is well developed throughout. We were attending an annual family event and will definitely stay here next year.
Property is very spacious with plenty of room for my adult family of eight. All aspects of the property was clean. I most enjoyed access to the river with comfortable chairs with to chill in a peaceful environment.
The home was home was well kept. Plenty of large space to gather and for alone time. The only down fall to this place is that the county only allows for 6 person total. So you forced to choose who comes with and who has to stay home. On another plus side it had not perfect but great vehicle access if you have a truck down to river. Save us from having to walk up and down hill. And carrying stuff up and down
The home is close to town and the American river. It’s quiet with gorgeous oak trees and a spacious deck. Two bedrooms are located away from the living area, which makes it easy for large groups. The kitchen is large and well equipped.
This is a beautiful home in a wonderful location. We stayed there for my daughter’s wedding and it was perfect location. The host was wonderful and was very great in her communication with me. I would definitely stay there again!
We had an incredible time at a wonderful property. The house is spacious and nice, the property is gorgeous, and you are right on the river. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies. Everything was perfect, highly recommend.
Property was as described, spacious and clean. Easy to get down to the river from the house. A few close by beaches if you want easier access. 1 mile out from pizza, tacos and amazing pastries. Was a great little weekend away!
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.
Very nice house. I woukd recommend staying here. The downside is the nearly all locked and the dressers are full of the owners clothes. So dont bring tons of clothes here. This is clearly a family home and is full of personal belongings. Not an isdue for us but it is for dome
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.
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!
