Backyard Dining at Our Folsom Airbnb

There’s a rhythm to staying at Sibley Haus, our Airbnb in Folsom, California, that invites you to slow down. Maybe it’s the way the sunlight filters through the grapevines. Or the soft hum of hummingbirds in the distance. Or that sweet, unhurried feeling of being exactly where you’re supposed to be.

In the heart of it all is our backyard oasis, a space that’s as much about being as it is about doing. It’s where guests gather for quiet breakfasts, easy lunches, and sunset dinners with a bottle of wine and bare feet on the patio. It’s not fancy, but it is beautiful, and when paired with simple seasonal recipes, it becomes one of the most memorable parts of your stay.

You don’t need a full kitchen or a complicated grocery list to cook here. With just a grill, stovetop, or cutting board, you can prepare fresh backyard meals that taste like summer and feel like home. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway in Folsom or a weekend escape, these dishes bring people together.

🌿 What We’re Serving (and Savoring) in the Backyard

Grilled Peach & Burrata Salad
Juicy summer peaches, lightly charred on the grill, paired with creamy burrata, fresh arugula, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Add toasted baguette slices for a perfect patio dining starter.

Backyard Flatbreads
Use store-bought naan or flatbread as your base. Top with fig jam, prosciutto, arugula, and goat cheese, or go classic with tomato, mozzarella, and fresh basil. Grill or toast until crisp. Ideal for outdoor entertaining at your Folsom Airbnb.

Lemon-Herb Chicken Skewers
Simple and full of flavor—chicken marinated in lemon, garlic, and rosemary, grilled to perfection, and served with seasonal veggies or couscous. Perfect for guests staying at vacation rentals with outdoor kitchens.

Sunset S’mores Board
No fire pit? No problem. Layer graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, and strawberries on a tray. Roast marshmallows over the stovetop or grill and enjoy golden hour dessert on the patio, which is one of our favorite backyard dining moments at Sibley Haus.

🍷 Local Pairings & Easy Sips

Located just outside Northern California wine country, Folsom offers easy access to fantastic local wine. Pick up a chilled bottle from a nearby tasting room or try canned wine or craft beer. Add sparkling water with lemon and mint for a non-alcoholic refresher. A great match for your wine and dine weekend in Folsom.
