This spot was almost perfect! Clean, pet friendly, easy communication, a bookshelf of old books from the 1920s, rocking chairs on the deck, and a great location not far from town. The only reason I didn’t give this stay five stars is because there are no bear bins outside. So, the large trash has to stay inside, and though the host offers to take out the trash, it can get smelly.

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.

Property was as described and clean. Location was great, easy to access, and host was awesome. The only issue if I had to pick was the flickering lights. My wife and I loved the place and definitely will stay again. I would recommend this to anyone that needs to getaway.

Cute for a couples getaway

We had a pleasant stay at this property. The property manager was very responsive, which was great since we lost power after dark and thankfully were able to find a couple battery lights to help. I would definitely stay again.
