Beautiful property, wonderful location, attentive hosts, highly recommend!
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.

Relaxing trip!
My husband and I enjoyed the breakfast provided, relaxing environment, and small town atmosphere of Nevada City and Grass Valley. The airport behind the property is for small prop planes so it’s not loud and it was fun to watch the planes taking off and landing from up close. The bear den is exactly as described and the grounds are beautiful. Ken and Julie are wonderful and have a gift for hospitality. Anyone looking for a nice cabin getaway in ill love staying here. Thank you Ken & Julie!

Review of the Bear Den
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the comfortable room, the private recreation/breakfast room and the jacuzzi. The koi pond/waterfall and lush setting was very pleasant. Julie & Ken were very friendly and kind. We will be back again!

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!

Perfect getaway spot
My partner and I found this to be a perfect getaway spot. Having access to the sun room made all the difference as the room itself is not large but it served our needs just fine. The icing on the cake is the continental breakfast the host put out each morning which was truly beautiful. You can tell the hosts care for their property and are proud of their offering. We enjoyed the hot tub and being in the greenery!

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.

Wonderful Stay at the Bear Den
Our hosts created a wonderful experience. In addition to our room, they shared a beautiful sunroom and a patio overlooking an attractively landscaped backyard. This included a waterfall and Koi pond. Breakfast was included, which was a special treat. The bear den theme was felt throughout.

A lovely weekend getaway
My fiancé and I had an incredible stay at the Bear Den. We enjoyed the property including the hot tub. The hosts were extremely thoughtful by having a fire set up for us to use, a celebration banner and even a box of chocolates for my fiancé who we were celebrating. We would definitely recommend a stay here. Can’t wait to come again!

Picturesque and Relaxing
If you want a place to stay that feels like home, somewhere where you can relax, and enjoy the views, this is the place for you. The owners, Ken and Julie, made us feel at home the minute we arrived. They were kind, friendly, and courteous. Their home was beautiful and quiet. They had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. They gave us great suggestions on eating out and places to go. They served a delicious breakfast in the sun room every morning. We look forward to going back to stay there again. Linda and Mark

A Wonderful Weekend Get Away
Such a lovely home to relax, unwind. Ken and Julie are wonderful hosts, they made sure we have everything we need. The Bear Den room is so cute and comfortable. It was so nice to have breakfast in the sunroom. This is where we spent most of our time, watching TV, playing billiards. I love the privacy of this place; I enjoyed their hot tub as well. Makes you feel like you are away from the city. Location is great, close to restaurants and shopping. We will definitely go back. We so much loved our stay here.

A cozy hideaway
My friend and I had a lovely stay here for a small birthday celebration. They added some personal touches with a happy birthday sign and made breakfast in the morning. The owners were so nice and helpful with every request we had. This location is close to amazing food and shopping in Nevada City, as well as hiking and other adventures. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Better than home-away-from-home
Such a lovely overnight experience in one of northern California’s most iconic, authentic locales. From the welcoming intro by hosts Julie and Ken to relaxing by the koi pond, blissing out in the ample hot tub, reading in front of the outdoor, wood-burning fireplace, and enjoying your custom-made breakfast, it’s the perfect blend of privacy, restorative nature, and thoughtful touches - ice cubes in the freezer, for example!

Fantastic get away
This is the second time we have stayed at the Bear Den. Julie and Ken are fantastic people. They are a wealth of information and kindness. Breakfast each morning was great. The bed in our room is like sleeping on the wings of angels. The sunroom has a pool table, lots of couches and chairs along with a TV that gets pretty much every channel you would ever want. They have a beautiful Koi Pond so if you book in the spring or summer don't forget to bring worms :) My wife and I are going back in the spring to see all the flowers and butterfly's. Oh, there are lots and lots of trails very close by for those who like to stretch their legs and see nature. Thank you, Julie and Ken for another wonderful visit. We so appreciate your hospitality and conversation.

Lovely setting, awesome hosts!
We had an amazing time. This lovely wooded setting was so relaxing and beautiful. We had several soaks in the very nice hot tub. We enjoyed the outdoor seating area with a waterfall and Koi pond. We slept well— the bed was so comfortable! The hosts gave us complete privacy but were reachable when we needed anything. We look forward to revisiting this location in the future.
