Serene and clean and close to town

Thank you, we enjoyed our weekend stay in the cabin. It was exactly as posted. A newer cozy cabin that was clean and in a nice and quiet location with a short drive to town. I’d recommend it to friends and would stay there again.

We'd come here again, what more can you know?

It was in a lovely quiet wooded setting. It was totally clean and with all the accoutrements we needed: coffee pot and coffee, sugar,etc. oil for cooking, spices. Comfortable beds with lots of pillows, and even baggies for our dog (though we brought our own). The air conditioners were great in the 90+ weather. We will happily seek it out again when we come to this area.

Beautiful location & home!!

The place is very relaxing. Kitchen was fully stocked, pots, pans, etc. The nights were so peaceful and quiet. Fishing just a little ways down the road. The town down the street was awesome! If you need to get away from all the stress of city this is the place. Owner was very responsive and welcoming. First time on Vrbo and it was a great experience.

Enjoyable

Easy to find. Perfect for two couples, one who cannot use stairs so the downstairs bedroom was great. Very much enjoyed the veranda and sitting outside in the early morning and evenings. One suggestion: perhaps a kitchen dishtowel would be helpful.

A short stay

The property was clean and the grounds are nice. However the house stayed pretty cold. They could not get it up to a comfortable temperature. it was cold outdoors, and the house would not heat up much. Our son, who lived in Nevada City for a long time said the house needs more than jus the two small units for the winter months.

Great property with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Very close to both Nevada City & Grass Valley. We came for the Christmas festivities and were not disappointed. Great little hiking trail at the back of the property and backyard was fully fenced & very dog friendly.the host, Robert, was very responsive and answered all our questions in a short time. Would highly recommend a stay here if you are looking for a quiet retreat.
