About this property

Welcome to the Georgiana Slough - a gorgeous, slow-moving river that offers swimming, fishing, boating. Visit dozens of local wineries, then fish and swim directly from our waterfront deck. Or relax and enjoy a view of Mount Diablo as the sun fades behind the hills.

The River House is one-of-a-kind. This is the only house in the area that is built right on the water. Watch fish jumping, otters and beavers. We are surrounded by farms, and have a walking trail just at the end of our yard.

The River House offers beautiful views of the central valley, the diablo range, and surrounding farmland. And of course, waterfront access to the river. The huge deck sits right over the water. Fish for bass, catfish, or salmon directly from the house while relaxing with a book.

As soon as you arrive, you will feel you are in another world.

**

You have the main house, the decks, and the lawn. we live on the west end of the propery, which includes the area past the lawn and the garage. We are respectful of your privacy but we do live there so you may see us around.

You have access to the dock and water, but dock use is not exclusive. The river is public so boats and other users come by.

Delta Happiness

I perfect home on the river. Comfortable and welcoming. Supplied with all you need, plus more. The decks overlook the river and surrounding farmlands. Very quiet and peaceful with numerous areas to eat and relax. Excellent fishing off the dock! Host welcoming.

Perfect, serene getaway an hour East of the City

About 15 minutes between Rio Vista and Isleton, this lovely home does not disappoint. Very well stocked kitchen and home. Nice en-suite primary with a Murphy bed in the family room (which can be closed off for privacy). The multiple seating areas on the deck, which spans the length of the house, is where you’ll want to plant yourself.

Post Graduation Getaway

The views are amazing! Best part for sure. Kitchen very well stocked and the kayaks were great fun! Lots of outdoor seating areas, which we love. We chose this home because we attended a wedding at Grand Island Mansion, which was 20 minutes away. Overall, great weekend.

Perfectly Peaceful

This is a peaceful little place to relax, fish, take a walk, admire nature and wake up to a beautiful sunrise. Plenty of room for a family of four to hang out together or each find their own peaceful corner. We all loved it and hope we can come back again.

Beautiful waterfront property inside and out

Amazing waterfront property and private home right on the Delta! Hands down recommend this place to anyone searching for a place for some rest and relaxation. A very, very clean home with a kitchen that is well stocked. You have the house all to yourselves and it makes it feel like you are away from it all. Both bathrooms are amazing but the guest bathroom with the piano and sit in tub was just adorable. The house has a ton of character inside and was a perfect winter getaway for our family of 3 and dog though the home could probably accommodate so many more people. I could see how this place probably gets booked fast in the summertime since it’s on the water but having stayed in December, I think it’s just as nice. Still a great place to stay to enjoy nature. The owner was quick to respond to my questions upon booking the reservation. Appreciated that upon arrival the home was nice and warm too during this time of year. Check in was very easy and no complaints. Nice attention to detail inside and had everything that we needed to make it feel like we were at home. Cute small town nearby, only about 9 minutes driving distance where you can find a pizza place, grocery store, gas station, ice cream store and other fun shops. Truly enjoyed the peacefulness of the property and loved watching the sunrise from the deck each morning. It was nice to just relax, do nothing, not think about time and just be lazy for a couple days. Our Shiba enjoyed our daily walks as she saw squirrels and sniffed just about everything in sight. Amazing outdoor space with a large deck and patio. We enjoyed just about everything about this home had to offer and loved walking down the levee trail at the end of the property. Great place if you just want to get away and relax. My husband enjoyed throwing his fishing pole into the water and pointed out a couple sightings of an Elephant seal in the water. Love the small town feel and this property was just what we needed to slow things down a bit. Thank you, Alex for sharing your home on VRBO. We had an amazing time and hope to return in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Alex Pakter

I am a former school teacher, and I love to travel and explore the world.

Why they chose this property

There are other properties that are both easily accessible by road, are built directly on the water, and are close to the Bay Area and Sacramento. Ths is the only one!

What makes this property unique

We are close to both Lodi and Clarksburg wine areas. During the winter and spring the area is a bird migration point, with thousands of birds passing through every day. We get sandhill cranes, geese, ducks, egrets, heron, and many many more.
We also get marine mammals, including river otters, beaver, and sea lions!
**
Mid-week nature boost: Most people come on the weekends, but if you are able to arrange your trip to be here on Monday-Thursday you will see more birds and wildlife. Most of the river users and boaters come on the weekends, and the weekdays are extra-quiet. It's still great all the time, though!
