Quiet retreat just a nice walk from the center of town

I saw the pictures of this bungalow and wanted to be having coffee in that kitchen. Happily, the pix are accurate.Nice walk takes you up to the top of downtown Nevada City and that's a view you'll remember. Sweet place.

Nice home base in Nevada City

The space was very well appointed with lots of little extras like spices, soaps and lotions. The host knew it was our anniversary, and left us some snacks and drinks too! The rooms were small, but plenty of space for a couple. The only downside wasn't the fault of the property; It was pouring rain the whole weekend. There was a very nice outdoor space with a table, chairs and wonderful creek, but we couldn't use it due to the weather. Hope to go back when the weather is warmer!

Outside patio- so pretty with a little stream running by. The only problem was it was pouring rain and we couldn't use the space.

Just right

My 11 yr old daughter and I stayed here for a short spring break getaway. It was really the perfect size, perfect location...not too big, not too small. Easy access to downtown, easy access to nature trails, easy access to Kathy, if needed. My daughter picked this bungalow for our stay and honestly, I might let her pick more of our vacation rentals!

A darling place at a great location

On a beautiful street with a burbling creek a few feet away and only a few minutes walk to downtown Nevada City. Our host Kathy gifted us a very tasty bottle of wine and some snacks and chocolates as well as fresh flowers. The property was very quiet. The shower ceiling is on the low side. I'm 6'1" and I bonked my head a few times when using it. We had friends visit and we all sat outside next to the creek. It was very clean and I recommend staying there!

Wonderful Nevada City stay

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at Kathy's bungalow. It was the perfect size for two people, with a full kitchen and lovely bedroom/bath. It is located on a nice quiet street with a tranquil creek next to it. It was a great "home base" while exploring Nevada City, Grass Valley, and the surrounding area. Kathy made us feel right at home and went out of her way to make sure everything was to our liking (thanks also to Brett for assisting with the amenities). We highly recommend Kathy's place when you are in the area and look forward to staying again in the future. Thanks!

Delightful

The bungalow was exactly as described: quaint, clean and comfortable. It’s in a lovely green setting with a babbling brook just steps away. We were greeted with fresh flowers and goodies, including little juices, chocolates and a small bottle of Chardonnay. Kathy was very responsive when we requested a traditional coffee maker (we are French press challenged!). And the little town of Nevada City is adorable and so charming. Overall, an absolutely delightful experience. An enthusiastic 5-stars to Kathy and the bungalow!.

Perfect weekend getaway!

This bungalow was perfect for a weekend getaway. Kathy did an amazing job at providing a private, cozy, clean and lovingly put together bungalow with no detail left undone. From the fresh flowers and hand written note to the generous snacks and treats, it was perfect. We will definitely be back.

The bungalow was lovely and well supplied with everything that we needed to have a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our host, Kathy, provided everything that we could possibly need and was very helpful in informing us of local attractions, and outdoor opportunities. Our stay was truly delightful and hopefully we will return soon.

Wonderful retreat with an easy walk to town

My husband and I enjoyed a short 2-night getaway at this lovely property. The bungalow is small but comfortable, packing all we could need in its cozy space. Kathy is a wonderful host and included special touches that made us feel especially welcomed! We enjoyed an easy and pleasant walk to the independent shops and restaurants of Nevada City under a clear blue sky on our first full day. On our final day, we greatly appreciated not having a list of chores to complete before leaving, elbowing us to hold on to our “vacation vibe” a little longer while a gentle snowfall turned Nevada City into a scene from a Christmas Card. We’d love to visit this property again!
