Each time we stay in this cozy cottage we come across improvements the owners have made—even though this cottage requires no improvement.

Great place and location
This was a great place to stay and enjoy our time in Sacramento. My husband did the Ironman and this was about 15 min from the transition, easy highway access. The neighborhood is super cute, close to a park, a great coffee place 1/2 mile, and easy walkability to restaurants. There are a couple of grocery stores, liquor stores.. really everything. The place is immaculate, every need you should have Leslie took care of.. The outdoor seating area was awesome in the evening. Super private, quiet.. one of the best we have stayed in!

Beautiful place, sparkling clean, well-appointed, great neighborhood, great hosts!
Grayfield Cottage is super-charmlng and welcoming, with stylish decor and all major amenities. Driveway parking puts it over the top (many Sacramento properties I viewed on VRBO only have street parking). The neighborhood is lovely, upscale and centrally located. The hosts are great with communication, and even provide a binder listing nearby restaurants, grocery shopping, etc. I will definitely request this property again the next time I visit!

About the host

Host profile image
Exploring the world, meeting interesting people & life enriching experiences is our passion. A couple of years ago we took our love of travel to a new level and put our belongings into storage and headed to Europe. We lived in short term furnished rentals around the world and settled into places that we wanted to learn more about. Upon returning to the US we had a new vision: To create a home we could share with others while we were out and about enjoying other people's spaces and places. And so our dream for McKinley Place and the Grayfield Cottage was born. After a year of thoughtful planning, careful design and a LOT of help from family and friends, we are ready to manifest our vision. Welcome to the Grayfield Cottage and the McKinley Place - spaces we are proud to share in a location we believe you'll thoroughly enjoy.

Why they chose this property

20 years ago we started dreaming about buying a home in the East Sacramento McKinley Park neighborhood. The first thing people usually say as they walk up to our front door is, "What a beautiful neighborhood!"
