Lake Folsom digs

We have stayed at Donna's place multiple times. It is comfortable and well stocked with linens and kitchen items. It is always interesting to see the view of Lake Folsom and how it changes depending on water levels. Donna is attentive and very responsive.

Lovely in every way

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Casita d'Amore. It was lovely in every way. The neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful. Donna was wonderful with communicating with me in advance about everything I needed to know and answering all of my questions. The casita is spacious and lovely and has beautiful views of Folsom Lake. I was there to bike the American River Bike Trail, and the casita is very near to the trailhead, and a great place to return to and relax after a day of activity.

Perfect location; everything you need

This is our 3rd time staying here and it is a perfect location overlooking the lake with a path to the lake nearby. The unit is well equipped with all the creature comforts: soft towels in abundance; comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen; washer/dryer; good shower, etc. Just the best!

Donna is a top tier host, everything was perfect. The Casita exceeding our expecations. The views and proximity to the Lake were fantastic. Donna communicates extremely well and all our needs were met. We can't wait to be back and hope someday to rent out the Main house!

Lovely spot close to lake

This is the third time my daughter and I have stayed here when we attend the TBF races. The casita is perfect for us two and so close to trails and the lake - we rarely use the car once we are here. The casita is clean and well equipped- I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Granite Bay.
