Shingle Springs is a relaxed Sierra Foothills community that makes a comfortable base for multi-week assignments—think tree-lined neighborhoods, nearby hiking and river access, local wineries and farmers markets, and a small but friendly downtown where you can easily settle in between shifts. Its quiet, scenic vibe and easy access to outdoor recreation mean you won’t feel stuck after work and can truly unwind.
Big-city options are within reach: Sacramento (~35 miles) for dining, cultural events and an airport, and South Lake Tahoe (~60 miles) for skiing, boating and weekend adventures.
