About this property

Breathe the crisp, clear air of our woodsy property. Enjoy being below the snow line, but within a short ride to 12 Alpine and 3 Nordic Tahoe/Reno ski resorts (between 56 to 96 miles away).

Enjoy soaking in the hot tub under the stars at night and access our year round creek, just a short, but mildly challenging walk during the day. There are several rustic trails along this parcel that would allow you to experience very private nature walks. Additionally, guests will find an extensive Hiking Guide in the unit detailing dozens of National Forest and locally maintained trails throughout Nevada County, as well as an additional guide listing the 12 eating establishments within 5 miles of this unit.

Guests can fall asleep with the sights and sounds of water from the creek and a waterfall across the canyon of this listing.

You are welcomed to a newly constructed 500 sq, ft, private apartment with kitchenette, dining/living area (with futon), bath, and king-sized sleeping loft overlooking a private creekside beach. The separate entrance leads to charming nature views as well as a private guest deck with a barbeque and optional hot tub usage. This space is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet and respite from urban life.

We are willing simply to offer this space for the adventurous souls to experience the calm and beauty of a natural surrounding or be nearby to share our love for our property and its wonders. The Gold Country is an artistic cultural haven with a bounty of activities. Guests are welcome to lounge by the creek on the deck by the waterfalls to have private picnics and relax and reflect in the peaceful atmosphere.

Home Away from Home

We were able to just relax the weekend away. Joanie and Danny were great hosts. They gave us total privacy while still being warm and welcoming.

Lovely getaway, lovely couple

A beautiful couple/family with a beautiful property. Whether it's a hot tub dip under the stars, a swim in the private creek, or watching the sunset on the hammock on the terrace -- this is the perfect getaway for a couple. Thank you both for the wonderful stay!

Perfect spot to catch up on relaxing

I loved my week at this property. I was able to relax and take my time enjoying the sights. The creek had two great swimming holes to float in as well as plenty of seating so you could migrate with the shade to the most comfortable spots. I was able to catch up on some reading on the patio, watch the bats take off in the evening, and round off the day with a dip in the hot tub for the perfect sunset view. Danny and Joanie were lovely hosts, extremely friendly and willing to be there as much or as little as you were comfortable with. They were very accommodating for my husband and my friend visiting me during me week-long stay. I would definitely love to visit again!

Beautiful view

The location is good because you’re not far from an opportunity to swim in the Yuba river and dine in Nevada city in the other direction. The creek on the property is sweet and serene and a lovely meditation spot. It really is not accessible for anyone who can’t do a steep downhill walk. The hosts are wonderful In accommodating you and pick you up and drive you back up the hill to the house.

About the host

Hosted by Danny Estin

We first moved to Nevada County in 1975 to open a group home for delinquent children. We are former educators who have recently retired from our 15 year teaching jobs at the International School of Bangkok. Although we have owned this 30 acre property for nearly 30 years, we only recently have built our home here.
Joanie and Danny are high school sweethearts who have been together for 52 years. Our 34 year daughter lives in Seville, Spain and our 32 year old son resides in Bangkok, Thailand. They say our exposing them to the overseas' life has turned them into international citizens.

Why they chose this property

For the 30 years of owning this property we knew that we would eventually build a home here. This was the plan even during our 15 years teaching in Thailand. Every summer we would come back to our home across the highway from this property, but open a lot of time at the creek. We put in a well, road and built a deck near the water decades before ever moving here.

What makes this property unique

Clearly, the most compelling feature of this home is the location, location, location. Although we are 5 minutes by car from the super market, within 5 miles of 14 eating establishments and 15 minutes from Grass Valley, once on our 30 acre property, you get the sense of calm that comes from the sight and sounds you experience from the creek and waterfall's natural tones. Going to sleep with the windows open feel and sound like you are at the ocean listening to lapping waves.
Along this same nature describing thought, many of our guests spend a good part of the day going down to our year round creek complete with beaches, swimming hole, sun deck, trails and hammocks.
