This place is a gem! The property and surrounding land is so peaceful and Teri was a wonderful host. My husband and I were also surprised to find so many amenities within the apartment. I will definitely refer others and I hope to stay here again next time I'm visiting the Grass Valley area.

This rustic getaway was amazing. Such a beautiful setting. It was wonderful to have our coffee out on the deck or sit around the fire pit in the evening. A pretty view from every window. The unit itself is perfectly appointed. We could move into this place for a month and be happy. Thanks so much for a relaxing stay. If we could give it 10 stars, we would.

Beautiful stay! The studio apartment was the perfect size for a getaway, with a spacious area for relaxing downstairs, a well put together full bathroom and the loft area for the bedroom was very comfortable and cozy. Ms. Teri was so accommodating with answering questions and made us feel so warm and welcomed, we felt very much at home. The location of the property itself is on a quiet, country road and could not be in a more beautiful area. I would love to make this a regular place to visit!

It was great! Quiet, remote and a get away from the hustle bustle of the Bay Area. We especially liked the sky view based on how well you could see the stars and night sky. It’s pretty great an we caught some shooting stars. Overall the loft was nice! The cabin felt very private even with the windows. Speaking of the windows. It was nice to get so much natural light but I must say if you have a late night expect the sun to wake you up at 6am with the sun rise facing the bed though the windows above the stairs but that isn’t a totally bad thing. Overall 10/10. Thank you and we may likely rent again in the future.

Our property is in the country and very quiet and relaxing. We are also close to a lot of different amazing Gold Country towns and sites. So, even though you will experience complete rest and relaxation, we are not far off the beaten path.
