We loved spending family time in this beautiful, thoughtful property! We appreciated the game room, the comfortable beds, and the secluded property despite being close to town.
Very nice property in the trees a few minutes outside town ( too far to walk.). The house was very clean. Living spaces nicely decorated and comfortable as advertised. Bonus for EV charger and good wifi. Kitchen is not full stocked but close enough. One odd thing was the advertised sauna is a tiny little closet inside a bathroom/ barely big enough for one person. It wasn’t worth using. Otherwise we had a very nice girls weekend in Nevada City!

Thank you, Heidi, for your wonderful 5 star review! We’re delighted you and your friends enjoyed your girls’ weekend and appreciated the home’s cleanliness, peaceful setting, EV charger, and Wi\-Fi\.
We also appreciate your sauna feedback. For future guests, the sauna is an original built-in feature from the home’s 1977 construction and accommodates approximately 3–4 people. We’re sorry it didn’t meet your expectations 😕
Thank you again for staying with us—we’d love to welcome you back! ❤️
We stayed here for a few nights in Nevada City and overall had a good experience. The house was clean, though I'd note it's definitely older than it appears in the listing photos. Nothing was a dealbreaker, but go in expecting a place with some age and character rather than a modern remodel.The hospitality was great - extremely easy check in and a late checkout was great for our big group. Check out instructions were simple and straightforward too. We didn't end up cooking, but the kitchen looked well-stocked with appliances, dishes, and everything you'd need to prepare meals. The sauna also went unused during our trip, so I can't speak to its condition.The air conditioning worked great, which was a huge plus since it was extremely hot during our visit. We were able to keep the house cool and comfortable the whole time. The beds were comfy and the towels were nice, so we slept well and had everything we needed after long days out.Overall, a clean, comfortable base for exploring Nevada City, with a big group too!
The host was communicative from the time I booked my stay to timely responses during my stay. The home is beautiful, and the location is ideal - just far enough from town but close enough for a quick jaunt to grab a coffee. The views from the living room's full-length windows are breathtaking; the pictures do not do it justice. The home's fully stocked amenities make your time away from home seamless.

Thank you for taking the time & leaving us a review Michael !! We’re so pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
Our stay was wonderful. Everything had a personal touch and was welcoming and clean. The area was peaceful and the view is beautifully surrounded by trees. The house slept 8 of us comfortably. 3 bathrooms made getting ready easy and the washer and dryer was a great extra touch. AC worked great and there were throw blankets available. The kitchen was stocked with nice extras like coffee, tea, waters, and cereal/oatmeal. There were a lot of games to play and a full game room downstairs. The house is everything you see in the pictures. Highly recommend!
Wonderful home, very clean with everything you would ever need in a great location. Our host was very attentive, though we needed nothing. Great spot for families, couples, etc. Enjoyed exploring the area on foot and town as well. Will return!
We enjoyed our stay. The home was spacious and clean and had a lot to offer with the sauna, game room, and nicely appointed kitchen. We would stay there again.

It was a wonderful experience. When we got there, it was beautifully set up in a bottle of wine put out for us to celebrate my friend’s birthday. There was a moment I reached out to the host and she was extremely fast on getting back to us. We all agreed we would definitely come back here again and stay in her beautiful home.

Thank you for such a lovely review Cathy. We really enjoyed hosting you and your guests. We would love the opportunity to welcome you all back again.
Six of us stayed here for a wedding and it was perfect! It was clean and exactly like the pictures. It was close to downtown but still secluded in the woods. The host was super responsive and very nice. I’d stay here again for sure!!
