The house is tastefully appointed, providing all the comforts of home. The spacious deck and fenced-in yard are perfect for dog owners, offering plenty of room to enjoy. Despite having a neighbor next door, the fully fenced area ensures privacy. There are plenty of activities to explore in Grass Valley. Just remember to bring mosquito repellent. Overall it was a great place. ##### Anand k. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie W. 14 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A lovely place to stay! This is a beautiful home. The builders put more window than wall wherever possible and there are lovely views in all directions. Looking through the trees at the valley below from the deck was especially nice. Lot's of privacy and space with a tall fence with only visible neighbor. House was well stocked- did all our meals there and found everything we needed. Seems like they've added things to the kitchen since earlier reviews. Spotlessly clean. Host replied quickly when I had trouble following the clear instructions. Only quirk was that the lighting in the two smaller bedrooms was extremely dim. I was tempted to go buy some modern LED bulbs. We were at a very hot time and the downstairs bedroom was a bit warm, but not bad. AC was definitely able to get the rest of the house colder than you'd want it to be. Lot's of beautiful sitting areas outside and carefully tended yard, hot tub and above ground pool. The decorations were lovely inside and out. We did end up adding toilet paper. Not sure if they were just trying to stock a starter amount, if we just didn't find the spare, or we just had a different idea of toilet paper for five adults. But it wasn't a big deal to pick up at the store. All and all, a beautiful place to visit and a destination in and of itself. ##### Katie W.

Flexible and accommodating host. Comfortable beds. Dog friendly huge back deck and fully fenced in yard. Big garage available for storing car or gear. Feels deep in the country, yet large grocery stores (SPD, Raleys) are just 10 minutes away. Kitchen could use a few more pots and pans, bowls, a colander, etc. beyond the selection of basics that are there. Fast electric stove and efficient hood fan/light. Looks like work to upgrade other things is in process (small microwave on counter works fine while brand-new bigger built-in one doesn't appear to be connected yet). Big "smart" TV's in multiple rooms (you log in with your own Netflix acct for instance). Could use a bit more lighting in the evenings though the huge windows make it great in the day. We used the A/C unit on the living room wall (which did the trick downstairs but not so much for the upstairs bedrooms), but might have missed out on the whole house heat pump (didn't try to turn it on) because we didn't notice the control for that until the last day. ##### Dave K.

It was challenging for us to get out of the house to go explore because we just wanted to stay in and relax. Despite having some fairly close neighbors, the property offers privacy and was very quiet. It was just what we needed. We will definitely come back, and bring our son with us, who I think will enjoy the property as well as the great layout of the house. Three of the bedrooms are loft bedrooms, and there's even a hidden closet with stars on the ceiling! If you're planning to do a lot of cooking, you may want to plan simple dishes that don't require a whole lot of prep. There were lots of appliances (countertop ice maker!) But most of the kitchen cabinets were empty. We didn't mind as we ate out and brought some more pre-made meals. Hot tub under the stars can't be beat. I'm looking forward to spending some time here in colder weather when we can have a fire inside and just relax away from the hustle and bustle. The woven basket collection was to die for! So beautiful and one of my favorite things to collect! The views in the master bedroom are the most important part of the place. It's private enough that you don't need to close the blinds at night and waking up to that glorious view is very relaxing! Thanks so much for sharing your cabin with us. ##### Emily M.

We enjoyed the stay, Steven is easy to talk to. It's home away from home. We will love to visit again. Thank you very much Steven. ##### Du Le M. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen N. 18 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Large and peaceful Shady Pines is a large, comfortable, unique home situated in a beautiful, peaceful and private setting. We loved all the large windows looking out onto the forest! It is located conveniently between Grass Valley and Nevada City so we were able to get to both towns in just minutes. We spent a lot of our time on the large deck overlooking the forest where we were visited regularly by deer and a fox! Steve was a very responsive host when we contacted him. He resolved any issues we had quickly. We would love to visit again! ##### Karen N.
