Photos and Description of the Coloma vacation house rental
2 river view bedrooms, plus adorable bungalow. 2 bath. Sleeps 6 max.

~ We just completed our summer rental season. Thank you to all of our wonderful guests! We'll see you in 2012! ~_

Welcome to your vacation house! We think you'll love it here, whether you're a boater, artist, nature lover, bird watcher, gold panner, hiker, cyclist, foodie, or all of the above - there is something for everyone.

The house is located on the south fork of the American river in Coloma, California. We are minutes from Coloma State Park where gold was discovered. There are amazing trails nearby to hike, bike, or horseback ride. You can put on the river right from the house and raft, float down from farther upstream, or just float out front and take it all in. Ahhhhhhh.

Please let us know if we can answer any questions, we'd be happy to help.

(A side note: We love a good party as much as the next guy / girl, but let us tell you, this is not the house to rent if you're looking for a party house).

Hope to see you in paradise soon!

Further details for this vacation house rental in Coloma, California

Whitewater info:

There are a number of local rafting companies that you can hire for guided trips out of Coloma, or if you have some skills and your own equipment, you can run any number of sections of river using the house as a base. The 8 mile section down to Coloma is the class III 'Chili Bar' section, with a 4 mile class II section from Coloma to Greenwood (locally known as 'C to G') and the final 9 mile class III section down to Folsom Lake known as 'the Gorge'.

If you are just learning to kayak, or are game for some exciting 'tubing, you can float 1/2 mile downstream to the Hwy 49 bridge, walk approx 500 yards overland, and put back into the river and float 1 mile back down to the house! A really fun little float with five class II rapids and no driving needed; great way to cool off on a hot summer day.

There are also a ton of other rivers in the vicinity to enjoy, from leisure float trips to hair-raising waterfalls, it's all nearby.

It's all here!:

We've stayed at vacation rentals, and we've taken notes, lots of them! We noted what we liked, what we didn't, what we wish we had, etc.

When you stay at our place, all you'll need to pack is a toothbrush and a bathing suit (okay, and maybe some sunscreen).

We've set the house up to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible.

We provide, shampoo, soap, conditioner, hair dryers, iron, and the list goes on. When you're on vacation, you want to spend time kicking back and enjoying your time, by providing tons of amenities, we think you'll feel right at home.

Other Activities:

Gold Panning, Whitewater rafting, kayaking, & tubing.

River paradise

Review Submitted: July 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We absolutely loved our stay at Lotus River House and would highly recommend it to another family. We went up there with our two children (ages 6 and 8). The house is perfect for a family and so nicely done inside. The location makes it a spectacular place. It is right on the river and on a Class II calm section so the kids could play in the water all day. You can put in a raft straight from the house and raft a 6 mile or so stretch of Class II/II+ rapids. The take out is a mere 3-4 mile bike shuttle. The house has an awesome deck and lounge area down near the river. There are wonderful nooks all throughout the property -- a wonderful fire pit, area for dining, area for reading quietly -- a lot of thought was clearly put into the house and design. The house is nicely settled under beautiful trees so it doesn't get too hot in the summer. It's just a perfect getaway whether you are a river enthusiast or not. Enjoy it. Stacey

Perfect getaway

Review Submitted: June 29, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
What a delightful home! My mother has difficulty walking but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to enjoy a new place to visit. We had it all at the Lotus House. The owners helped me feel at ease with some things that could have been obsticles. We were able to sit on the spacious deck and wave to the river rafters, watch the birds and squirls, read and just take in the lovely scenery. There was easy access to the river for me and our dog, too. The home was beautifully furnished. We both would not hesitate to visit again.

Review Submitted: September 16, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We had such an amazing time at the Lotus. The
attention to detail in the house was above and
beyond! It truly felt like a home away from home. We
loved it from the minute we stepped inside. It had
everything we needed to make our stay complete. We
can't wait to go back.

Great Little House

Review Submitted: August 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Location, location, location. This little house has everything you could possibly need for a great weekend but the best thing it has is it's location. Very private but right on the river for swimming, tubing or fishing. Close to town with restaraunts and clubs and shopping. Also close to white water rafting companies. We had a great long weekend at the Lotus River House. We'll be back next year.

A beautiful house in a perfect setting.
The days on the river were great; the time at the house was equally memorable.
We used every nook- from the fire pit to the various outdoor seating + lounge chairs.
The details inside are equally charming.
Combined with the incredible location, it's just perfect.
To be able to inner tube, kayak + raft straight from your doorstep cannot be beat.
We would love to come back. Thanks!
