About this property

Guesthouse in the heart of Historic Folsom

"The Pig on Fig" is walking distance to Historic Folsom’s famous Sutter Street and Lake Natoma! Adorable guesthouse is just one block from the best restaurants, shops, bars and entertainment. Just a couple blocks away you'll find the perfect place to SUP, kayak, hike or cycle. Be neighbors with the famous Sutter Street Pig!

The guest house is our “back house” and is attached to our garage. We share a backyard fence but everything else is completely private. The home is best suited for 2 adults but can accommodate 3 adults or 2 adults with 1-2 small children. If you have more than 2 people, there is a small added fee. No pets, please. NO SMOKING.

The guesthouse is 750 square feet with a living area, breakfast nook and full kitchen downstairs and a spacious bedroom, bathroom and laundry room upstairs.

You have your own private front yard, backyard, and single car driveway. We are here if you need anything, or want to meet our famous pet mini pig, who the guesthouse is named after. But we also offer complete privacy if desired.

Great stay in a great location

Listing was as wonderful as advertised, quick walk to Sutter St. Beautiful home with everything needed for great stay. Owners were very friendly and communicative, and were very accommodating in finding time for our family to meet Winnie the Pig. Will definitely look here first for next visit to Folsom.

Great place in a great location

Only a 2 block walk to old town Folsom, and the American River with its many pathways. My wife and I enjoy walking and most everything we were interested in was within 1 mile of the VERBO. John and Amber were wonderful, very responsive, clean well kept and supplied home, even better than advertised. Was a very quiet neighborhood with friendly people. We would stay there again.

Cozy comforts. Great location.

Had a great stay. Well stocked kitchen. Location is perfect for walking to the historic district. As a baby boomer, the techie TV stuff was hard to navigate for me, but they younger folks probably consider it normal. I would stay here again when visiting my cousins in Folsom.

Comfortable and delightful!

This is a lovely little above-garage guest house located on an alley. The house was comfortable, beautifully decorated and full of thoughtful little touches that we appreciated. Parking is tight if you have anything larger than a small to mid-size vehicle, and the bedroom is above a garage so when the garage users open and close the door you can hear it as well as feel it--not a huge issue, but something to be aware of if you are a light sleeper like me. Beyond those two things, it was a wonderful stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We loved being so centrally located. We were able to walk to Old Town Folsom for meals and even caught a parade from a balcony during our Saturday morning breakfast. Would absolutely rent again. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely cottage!

I rented Amber and John's property over a rainy weekend in January with my 14 year old who had a mountain bike race at Folsom State Park. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. The main bedroom and bathroom are upstairs in a quiet well-proportioned cove, with the kitchen, sitting area and extra fold out bed/couch downstairs. My daughter was very comfortable sleeping in the fold out couch, and we found the kitchen to be well- equipped. I want to specifically call out the fresh coffee beans and grinder they supplied so my morning coffee was better than at home! Amber also provided me with a delicious bottle of wine which was a nice touch. The cottage is within walking distance of the historic district and had it not been storming the entire weekend my daughter and I would have enjoyed walking to shops and restaurants. Amber was also very responsive when I had trouble initially opening the door. Only one word of caution is that the driveway is relatively short which would make it difficult to park a large car or SUV. Plenty of parking on the street however.

About the host

Hosted by Amber Felts

Host profile image
My husband John and I have lived in Folsom since 2004 and we love the Historic District! We have two sons, a dog, and our pet mini-pig Winnie, AKA The Sutter Street Pig. We enjoy traveling but when we are home we enjoy walking down to Sutter Street for a bite, a drink, and live music. My photography studio is also on Sutter Street so we are usually around if needed but provide complete privacy as well.

Why they chose this property

We’ve always loved Historic Districts and after living all over Folsom, we knew this is where we wanted to stay. We love having a guesthouse for friends, family and short-term renters to come enjoy our cute little town. John grew up in Davis, Amber in West Sacramento and Orangevale.

What makes this property unique

You can park your car during your visit and get just about everywhere on foot! There is always something happening here in Historic Folsom. We have close relationships with the local merchants as well as an event list and local map to get around.
