Guesthouse in the heart of Historic Folsom

"The Pig on Fig" is walking distance to Historic Folsom’s famous Sutter Street and Lake Natoma! Adorable guesthouse is just one block from the best restaurants, shops, bars and entertainment. Just a couple blocks away you'll find the perfect place to SUP, kayak, hike or cycle. Be neighbors with the famous Sutter Street Pig!

The guest house is our “back house” and is attached to our garage. We share a backyard fence but everything else is completely private. The home is best suited for 2 adults but can accommodate 3 adults or 2 adults with 1-2 small children. If you have more than 2 people, there is a small added fee. No pets, please. NO SMOKING.

The guesthouse is 750 square feet with a living area, breakfast nook and full kitchen downstairs and a spacious bedroom, bathroom and laundry room upstairs.

You have your own private front yard, backyard, and single car driveway. We are here if you need anything, or want to meet our famous pet mini pig, who the guesthouse is named after. But we also offer complete privacy if desired.

Cozy comforts. Great location.
Had a great stay. Well stocked kitchen. Location is perfect for walking to the historic district. As a baby boomer, the techie TV stuff was hard to navigate for me, but they younger folks probably consider it normal. I would stay here again when visiting my cousins in Folsom.

Perfect Location
The neighborhood was nice and location was perfect for walking to the downtown area. The house was as advertised a perfect for us. Welcoming space with a homey feel which I appreciate. The binder of recommendations and area attractions were on point and helpful. The owners were available if needed and gave me all the details needed for a smooth checkin and check out. We highly recommend this place and would gladly rebook in the future.

One Bedroom Home in Historic Folsom
This BnB served as our home for an 8-day stay. We will return for sure. Highlights: - Walking distance to Sutter Street historic district. - A complete small home on two levels, with a large bedroom upstairs. - Nicely decorated with all the comforts of home. - Access to Winnie the Pig, who was voted "Local Hero" in a recent poll. - Easy day trips to Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, and gold rush towns like Coloma and Placerville. - One mile away from Folsom Prison... go to museum and gift shop. - Hosts were wonderful!!! This is the place to stay in Folsom. Fig you're coming

Comfortable and delightful!
This is a lovely little above-garage guest house located on an alley. The house was comfortable, beautifully decorated and full of thoughtful little touches that we appreciated. Parking is tight if you have anything larger than a small to mid-size vehicle, and the bedroom is above a garage so when the garage users open and close the door you can hear it as well as feel it--not a huge issue, but something to be aware of if you are a light sleeper like me. Beyond those two things, it was a wonderful stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We loved being so centrally located. We were able to walk to Old Town Folsom for meals and even caught a parade from a balcony during our Saturday morning breakfast. Would absolutely rent again. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely cottage!
I rented Amber and John's property over a rainy weekend in January with my 14 year old who had a mountain bike race at Folsom State Park. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. The main bedroom and bathroom are upstairs in a quiet well-proportioned cove, with the kitchen, sitting area and extra fold out bed/couch downstairs. My daughter was very comfortable sleeping in the fold out couch, and we found the kitchen to be well- equipped. I want to specifically call out the fresh coffee beans and grinder they supplied so my morning coffee was better than at home! Amber also provided me with a delicious bottle of wine which was a nice touch. The cottage is within walking distance of the historic district and had it not been storming the entire weekend my daughter and I would have enjoyed walking to shops and restaurants. Amber was also very responsive when I had trouble initially opening the door. Only one word of caution is that the driveway is relatively short which would make it difficult to park a large car or SUV. Plenty of parking on the street however.

Lovely!
We genuinely enjoyed our stay at this location. Everything was clean & very well thought out. A very cozy, yet spacious home. If I were to complain about anything, it would be the sofa...It's not very comfy or big. Lol. But other than that, we loved everything! Will definitely stay here again when in the area!
