Whether you’re a Sacramentan feeling a little cooped up or a visitor looking for a special experience in the City of Trees, picking the perfect home away from home is crucial.

We scouted some unique lodgings around town that showcase that Sacramento spirit. So choose your ideal digs, pack your bags, and get ready for a memorable getaway.

Cozy cottages

Eclectic cottage | El Dorado
This 1,200-sqft cottage is a re-purposed blacksmith shop that was built in 1839 and updated with new appliances for the comforts of today. Enjoy a hot tub, outdoor patio with a grill + the company of free range chickens, ducks, and turkeys.

Good vibes bungalow | Auburn
Stay in your own secret garden of forest and ivy, with pathways meandering throughout. This midcentury modern bungalow comes with a spa nestled in the trees + proximity to Old Town Auburn.
A wooden hot tub sits on a patio overlooking a valley of mountains.

An on-site hot tub of the mountain retreat + spa overlooks the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Rooms with a view

Mountain retreat + spa | Grass Valley
Enjoy panoramic views of the Bear River Canyon and Sierra Nevada Mountains at this abode that’s perched atop Mt. Olive. Hike along the river, or enjoy the scenery from a private hot tub.

The Citizen Hotel | Downtown Sacramento
This hotel features 1900s architecture from George Selland + great views of the surrounding downtown area. Explore downtown’s grid, or don’t and order room service from bed. We won’t judge.
A vibrant rug sits on top of vintage tiled flooring and is surrounded by eclectic art and exposed brick walls.

Vintage art and accents are featured throughout the charming storybook home.

Hideaways with history

Vizcaya Mansion | Sacramento
Built in 1889, this bed + breakfast features a Victorian tower and columned entrance. It’s really in the details with this one — from the crown moldings inside to the surrounding landscaped gardens.

Charming storybook home | Sacramento
This home is reminiscent of Hobbit homes in the Shire — minus an international flight to New Zealand. Green architect Carr Jones reused and recycled materials to construct this cozy stay with fireplaces, radiant heated floors + an outdoor courtyard and pool.
