About this property

Empire Suite

Come and stay in our large modern suite in the heart of Nevada City Historical District steps away from eclectic bars, award-winning restaurants, shops, and night life. This large beautiful apt is spacious and comfortable enough for a full months stay or a weekend away. Off street parking is private and free.

We love DOGS so feel free to bring your pup. There is a small fee of $35 so please remember to check that box. Please do let us know if Fido will be staying too.

You'll love this industrial modern Studio apartment sleeps 2-3. With a loft-style large open floor plan, huge chef's kitchen with massive island and counter seating for 8 there’s plenty of room to spread out and relax. The cushy living room space has a large screen TV and leather sectional. The cook's kitchen has a granite island which seats 8, all high-end KitchenAide appliances and laundry in unit.

Please note the location in the description as we are in town and very close to the business district. As such you may experience some light noise in the early evening.

NEED MORE SPACE? This space has the option of adjoining with a studio suite on the same level to create a full 2BR apartment if you are traveling with friends or family. Inquire as to the possibility of renting the combination. Great for a family gathering or friends weekend.

This is a large private apartment with 2 free on site parking spaces. Private secure entrance with keyless security on exterior door and lockbox for your private unit.

I love to host and socialize and will give you complete privacy if you prefer. I live onsite and am always happy to meet new people. Let me know how I can help you get the most out of your stay in this magical place called Nevada City. I can't wait to meet you.

I have a fantastic co-host, Kelly along with her husband Chad. If I am out of town you may hear from her or contact them if needed.

The unit was immaculate. We had everything we needed. It is walking distance to everywhere downtown, so we never drove our car during our stay. We will stay here again on our next visit.

Amazing place so close to downtown

This place is gorgeous! The bed was comfy and even though it is much grander than my own home I felt cozy and special all at the same time. Don't hesitate if you want to book a luxurious place close to downtown.

This was our second time staying here. The location is great if you just want to step out into downtown. However, the upstairs neighbors had a very loud party the first night we stayed that lasted until 2am. In addition, the security deposit is excessive. They charge your card 1500$ when you book and it took 2 weeks after we left to get the refund. So they held a security deposit for 3 months in advance from when we booked and then a refund onto the credit card is not ideal. Do either I eat the interest or I pay it up front and the later have a negative balance. Not worth it
