About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Large family home for holidays, retreat, gatherings.

Beautiful multi-level country home close to the towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City.
An hour from Truckee and an hour and 20 minutes from lake Tahoe.
Come and enjoy a relaxing, comfortable retreat. Great for family gatherings, birthdays, girls weekend, yoga retreat, youth retreat... And so many more.
There are two master bedrooms with queen beds, one spacious room with two bunk beds, an office/ bedroom with comfy daybed, and another bedroom with a queen bed.
The great room is 24x32 ft. There is room for kids to play, enjoy a movie, play ping pong, play games on the game table or do puzzles, etc.
Up to medium size dogs are welcome. There is a dog bed and food and water dishes supplied. Please keep them off the furniture. There's also a kennel with indoor and outdoor access if you want to leave them while you go out on the town.
The year-round creek is very peaceful and inviting. There are apples in the fall, and room to let your kids run and play.
The kitchen is well stocked and we provide Caroline's coffee (a local coffee shop) both special blend and decaffeinated.
We, Mike and Cheryl, were born in the local towns and have lived here throughout our lives. We love this area and look forward to sharing it with you.

Great, versatile property
Being a Nevada County who rented this house with some friends for our annual getaway, this was perfect. Lots of rooms, great hangout spaces and even some disc golf accessories. Solid location, close to downtown GV and NC.

Some improvements needed
Multi level & stairs not listed. Master bedroom next to kitchen, w/o air conditioning, too hot to occupy. It was 100• weekend. Spiders were in the downstairs bedrooms. Bathrooms had very small showers.

Wonderful experience
We felt very welcome. We were greeted with freshly baked cookies. The house was stocked with supplies, games, a ping pong table, books and many more. The interior was tastefully designed. Our hosts had labled kitchen drawers and cabinets, so we did not have to spend time finding things.Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Birthday weekend with family and friends
Our family and friends stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday and enjoy the nearby lake. The house is incredible and was spacious for 7 adults, 4 teens and 1 five year old. It was a short drive to groceries (Safeway or SPD), shopping in Nevada City and swimming fun at Scott Flats Lake. Cheryl is a gracious and generous host who communicated with us quickly if we had questions about anything. This home had everything we needed and was a wonderful stay!

Family get together
We had a great time at our family reunion. We had kids from age 6 to great grandpa who was 96. The hosts made us delicious cookies and as we walked into the house the fireplace was lit welcoming us. The host also provided us some local coffee. There were plenty of dishes and pots and pans as different family members took turns cooking various meals. The beds were super comfortable. The host provided plenty of supplies and sheets and towels. I would just suggest that the host note in the description the way the house has various elevated steps everywhere including a sunken living room. This might be important know for older visitors.

10 Stars! Perfect in Every Way!!
Our family of 12 stayed at this beautiful home to celebrate Christmas together. This multi-level home was equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We arrived to find a beautiful Christmas tree and Christmas lights waiting for us. The gourmet kitchen is amazing with every cupboard labeled so that we could find and put away every kitchen tool we could possibly need. The children enjoyed the ping pong table and other games. The whole family enjoyed a cozy movie night on the big sofa. The skiers loved Sugar Bowl about an hour away. Even Sparky the dog felt welcomed with a cozy bed and dishes waiting for him by the fire.

Family Thanksgiving
We came from all around, from Arizona, Yreka, Sonoma, Citrus Heights and Reno. We needed a large home with child-happy spaces and room for the dog, as well as plenty of beds and common gathering space. We had a perfectly lovely time, with lots of room in the open concept kitchen/livingroom/dining room to cook our Thanksgiving meal. Would highly recommend this place for anyone with a larger party of folks. The hostess Cheryl was so easy to communicate with and was happy to help us with any questions we had during our stay.

Gold country gem
A great property for large groups as the layout is vast with plenty of room to isolate. The sun room with ping pong table and games was a hit. Everything you need for a group getaway. We would return.

Fall fuel mitigation work
Property was nice, clean and plenty of room. We reserved this property for a crew working to reduce fire hazard in the area and everyone was able to have their own space while we also had plenty of room in the kitchen and living area of the home.

A wonderful stay
It’s a beautiful house in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by tall trees and a tiny little creek with rushing water. The house was very clean and the beds were super comfortable to sleep on. It was a home away from home for ages ranging from teens to grandparents. Cheryl was easy to communicate with and accommodated all our request promptly.
