With a cozy room for sleeping, a sunroom for relaxing and playing pool, a large patio with fireplace, a private hot tub, and a gorgeous garden and koi pond to enjoy, what more could you want? Gracious and helpful hosts? Done. If you are in the Grass Valley area and want a peaceful and private stay, this is the place! And you are offered a lovely continental breakfast each morning. We plan on staying with Julie and Ken again. One note: there is limited storage space in the bedroom/bathroom unit, so plan accordingly. Best stay we have had on VRBO yet!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The hosts were gracious, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The home itself was beautiful and very well maintained. The hot tub and game room were excellent amenities and truly enhanced our experience. We would gladly return and highly recommend this property.
Wanted a nice getaway for the weekend for my wife & I and this was an amazing spot. Julie & Ken were great hosts and their property was beautiful & so relaxing. We will definitely be returning for another weekend getaway!
This was a wonderful place to stay! The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating, kind and helpful. They provided breakfast each morning in their sunroom that looked out on their luscious yard. They paid close attention to detail... even had a welcoming banner saying "Happy 33rd Anniversary!"
A perfect spot, wonderful hosts, great breakfast, private hot tub that is amazingly good, located in a sweet area between downtown Grass Valley and Nevada City, would stay here again.
Bear Den BnB is the perfect place for rest and rejuvenating. It is quiet and peaceful, out in the forest in nature. The hosts are two of the kindest people, and they are sensitive to the needs of the guests - a rare quality!You will be so pleased with a stay at the BnB!karen
the stay was excellent, their yard was fabulous with the water fall and koi fish and flowers. The breakfast was very good and the owners were very attentive to us. They told us the good rest. to eat at.
The space is amazing. The room is clean and even has some silverware and plates to use with the microwave to reheat your leftovers. The hosts are wonderful and very welcoming.

Beautiful and peaceful
A lovely refuge, with very kind hosts who had the perfect balance of warmth and friendliness with also allowing a lot of privacy.
The owners were very attentive and couldn't be nicer. The property is absolutely beautiful with a great location. The owners are on site but give you complete privacy. You only see them at breakfast but as nice as they were, we truly enjoyed getting to know them.The room is adorable and easy direct outside access. When we are in the area next time, we will most definitely stay here again, hands down!
A beautiful stay, and the hosts were amazing! The living quarters are a little small for an extended stay, but the exclusive use of the gorgeous, spacious sunroom, more than made up for it. Sitting in that room looking out onto the beautiful property, was a peaceful way to start each day. The hosts were kind and attentive to our every need.
My husband and I stayed here for a weekend retreat to celebrate our anniversary. Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The hosts are so nice and accomodating. The sunroom was stunning and the room was cozy. Highly recommend for a getaway in the woods. We will definitely be staying again!
We had a very relaxing, enjoyable time. The hosts were fabulous, very approachable and friendly. We really enjoyed relaxing in the sunroom, being in the hot tub, and sitting by the fireplace in the evening. We hope to come again soon.
It was a wonderful place to stay and breakfast was quite good. The owners went above & beyond. The property looks a little more remote than it actually is: which turned out to be super convenient for accessing either Grass Valley or Nevada City.
We loved our time at Ken and Julie's home in Grass Valley. It's a wonderful setting and excellent getaway, close to everything but still tucked away in the forest where you can get some great downtime. Highly recommend!
