"We were there for a funeral but the house was spacious and comfortable for the most part. We congregate together so having more newer, comfortable sofas and kitchen chairs would have been 100%, over the top. Chairs and sofas are well used that’s all. Other than that, we were very pleased."

"We loved our stay. Very clean and cute house. The private backyard and quiet street were perfect for our kids and dogs to have some space to move. It was a quick drive to all the places we needed to go and we ended up walking in land park every day because it's so close. Many great restaurants nearby as well. We will definitely stay here again as we come to Sacramento often."

Charming Storybook Home by Carr Jones

10/10 Excellent

"our stay at the hobbit house was incredible. We used to live in Sacramento and came back home to visit all of our family and friends and knew we needed a pool. The Hobbit house provided us that, space to host a small get together, with permission by the host, and good times were had by all. The house surpassed our expectations with its incredible architecture and beautiful blend of past and present. The host was easy to communicate with and we wish our stay was longer."
