The main bedroom has a compact built-in wardrobe, direct access to the timber deck, and a stylish bathroom featuring a rain shower head, flushing toilet, vanity, towels and beautiful Australian-made body products. Enjoy watching the abundance of birdlife including the endangered glossy black cockatoos from the large timber deck or sit by the firepit on a cool winter's night. Located in the heart of the American River there are several hiking trails close by including the independence trail and the cannery trail.
