About this property

Rare Find! Yellow House Sanctuary on Hinkle Creek

Want to feel like you are living in a tree house? The home is on a hill above the Hinkle Creek Nature Area. Five bedrooms – four upstairs with king size beds and one downstairs with a double bed. A large private backyard with a gigantic pool and hot tub, oversized patio and the shade is provided by a beautiful 200 year old blue oak tree. We are located about 2 miles from historic downtown Folsom. Family and living rooms have 96" TV's. Our dining room can accommodate up to 12 guest for family gatherings. This is a great place to relax, float in the pool, take a hot tub or just sit in the shade of the 200 year old blue oak tree. Access to the garage is not included. No Pets. No Parties. Family gatherings encouraged, but need to keep noise to a minimum - we have a beautiful patio for you to enjoy conversations and children playing in the pool, but playing music is not allowed. Hinkle Creek Nature Area is forty two acres of pure nature. It consists of a stunning trail that coils around gorgeous trees, petite pastures, and the Hinkle Creek. This picturesque nature area is wonderful for leisurely walks and trail running. When you get to the home we will give you directions to the Indian grinding rocks in the nature area. The nature area is serene and quiet … although you might be serenaded by the coyotes at night! Over the ridge beyond the Hinkle Creek Nature Area is the Lew Howard Park. This facility has a kids play ground, basketball courts, tennis courts, BBQ/picnic areas you can also enjoy.
Bring or rent bikes - the home is about 1 mile away from the American River Bike Trail, which runs from Granite Bay to downtown Sacramento along the beautiful American River and away from traffic - round trip is about 70 miles. You can also rent paddle boards/canoes to enjoy Lake Natoma which is adjacent to the Folsom Historic district.
Historic Folsom is a very fun place to visit. Lots of good restaurants, Saturday farmers market next to the Folsom Light Rail Station and even an ice-skating rink Thanksgiving through New Years Eve.
Special events are the Folsom Rodeo over the 4th of July weekend and California International Marathon in December (start line is about 1 ½ miles from the home)

The house was great, the host had excellent communication and was nearby if we needed anything. The backyard was excellent from the view to the pool and hot tub. We need to come back to enjoy the path behind the house that goes into a green area.

The hosts were very responsive and provided great information before we even arrived. Any questions we had during our stay were promptly answered. The house had great spaces for our family gathering, both in terms of living rooms for visiting and sleeping accommodations. And the views from the back yard and deck are really beautiful!

The Yellow House Sanctuary was perfect for our two-night family reunion. The home and yard are even more beautiful and accommodating than the photos depict. On one of the days, there were fifteen of us eating outside and enjoying the pool and jacuzzi while we visited. John was very helpful and prompt in answering my emails prior to our visit. We hope to do this again in the near future!

Great Place to Getaway

The house is great, well taken care of and setup. We had plenty of space and room for 8 people. You don’t feel at all like you are in a neighborhood in a city. The windows and very large deck facing the nature area provided a relaxing backdrop for our stay. The pool was perfect and it was a very short drive to the lake where we went paddle boarding. The hosts were very helpful and answered all our questions quickly. Would definitely stay here again.

Oasis for the Family

My family enjoyed a wonderful family reunion at this oasis. We had the perfect environment to connect and enjoy each other's company. This home had everything we could need and then some.

Beautiful house and setting

I was staying there with a group that was participating in a tennis tournament.--a bunch of us in our 60s. The house itself was very comfortable with everything we needed Spacious living quarters. Back faces a beautiful canyon, and there is a nice pool and hot tub in back. We even grilled some steaks and fish on the gas grill in the yard. The host and hostess were quick to respond to any needs or questions.

Amazing home!!

This house absolutely amazing!! The location is fantastic, very close to everything and a very quiet nice neighborhood. The home is GORGEOUS and even better than the pictures. The beds were all so comfortable and the living areas were perfect for our group and very comfortable after a long day out on the trails. Communication with the hosts was easy and very helpful. One of the best homes we’ve stayed in! Highly recommend if you’re looking to stay in the area!

Family event in Sacramento

I had to find a home where my mom, daughter and I could have our own privacy yet gather and have fun. The neighborhood was upscale and quiet with the views from the hot tub just as pictured. There was a mound of fruit and snacks left for us and the kitchen is fully stocked. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly. I am planning to stay here again in the future.

Spring Friends Reunion

This property was perfect for our group of 10. We are a group of Restaurant and hospitality industry people. The home was stocked with mostly everything we needed. And the Hosts were more than accommodating to meet all our needs. There are many walking trails in the nature preserve behind the house and we all took advantage of the beautiful scenery along the way. We have already planned to return next year. Highly recommend!

Wedding getaway

Visited the Sacramento Valley this fall to attend my nieces wedding. We decided to stay in Folsom because we have a family friend that lives in that area. We had our adult children and my in-laws join us. The property was accommodating for our needs. Early October was still warm enough to use the pool and the hot tub was nice for the cooler evenings. The property was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Fantastic Place to Stay

We have family in the Sacramento area but no one had enough space to house everyone under one roof so we rented this house. It was important to have a pool for the littles, a place we could play games, and just be able to hangout. This place had it all. There was a place for all ages. In one room, the littles were able to watch their shows, in the other room we could watch more grown up shows and in the middle we set up a table and had a puzzle going. At night we played games at the dining room table. Others spent a lot of time on the deck out back or in the pool. We were able to take family pictures in the back yard which was very well maintained. This was the first time ever that my mother was able to have all of her grandchildren in one place at the same time and the baby grandchild is 26 years old! Jane and John (siblings) were very responsive to everything. All of the beds were extremely comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay at this house again!
