Location is beautiful (the stars are amazing!) and the house is absolutely wonderful. It has everything you need and the vibe is very relaxing and welcoming. We made use of the projector for movie nights which was super fun. One heads up - the master bedroom does not have any curtains, so I recommend eye masks for sleeping! Otherwise, 10/10 excellent and would totally come back!

This property is a beautiful true forest retreat, in a lovely neighborhood yet off the beaten path, at the end of the road and still close to everything you want to get to.We came for a summer getaway to visit favorite local swimming spots and this was the perfect place for peaceful seclusion at the end of the day.The home is very well cared for, thoughtfully appointed and the beds are SOOO comfortable.The owner Diana, is kind, friendly, and communicative and made me feel like family. Thank you Diana for sharing your special home with us!

Why they chose this property

Nevada City is a gem of a small town, with a thriving local culture and some of the best surrounding nature that California has to offer.

What makes this property unique

I tried to think of what guests would enjoy in everything that I did to create this retreat. There are endless books to peruse, a saltwater hot tub, movie projector + big screen, games, as well as the majestic, quiet beauty of the forest and the neighborhood. Fun optional on-site experiences such as massage, sound baths, chef-prepared meals, cooking and baking classes come to you and let you get to know some of our wonderful local creatives and our culture.
