Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2008

My wife & I are native Californians, born & raised in the Central Valley & Bay Area, respectively. Our daughter & son-in-law moved to the Grass Valley area a few years ago & when visiting we fell in love with the area also. We now have our youngest grandson, born in May, 2009 to bring us here for numerous visits. We purchased our vacation home on Kate Hayes St. in April, 2008 & enjoyed so much furnishing & decorating it that friends suggested we share it as a vacation rental with others. We were reluctant at first but found that it has worked out so well & folks that have stayed have been so nice & appreciative of the home and all the surrounding area has to offer.

Why the Owner Chose Grass Valley

There are so many activities & fun things to do in & around the Grass Valley/Nevada City area that it would be impossible to list them all. The Cornish & Victorian Christmas, Car shows, farmers markets, theatre, rivers, lakes, Empire Mine State Park, etc., etc., etc. We originally purchased the home for our own enjoyment & for a place to "getaway" & enjoy family. We've now found that we really enjoy sharing our home with others.

The Unique Benefits of this 1891 Victorian Cottage

Our Victorian Cottage is an exceptionally comfortable home, especially considering its' age. Built in 1891 it has been meticulously restored & we have decorated & furnished our home to help preserve its' unique heritage & to make it just as comfortable for our guests. We especially enjoy sitting out on the front porch & chatting with neighbors as they walk by on our narrow little lane, Kate Hayes St., named after the famous Irish Opera singer, Catherine Hayes, who was born in Limerick, Ireland in 1818 & enjoyed an illustrious career singing & performing around the world & in the Gold Country & particularly in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area. So, as you can tell it was a "no-brainer" to name our home "Kate's Place"

    • I am hesitant to write a true review because I am afraid if people find out how wonderful this house really is there will be no availability for me!!! We had the most amazing time in this beautiful home…Every detail was picture perfect! It felt like we were truly stepping back in time… with all the wonderful convinces of today. The owners of this home thought of everything including decadent shampoos and conditioners for their guests. We cannot wait to return.

    • I am still smiling as I remember our stay at Kates Place. We began each day with a walk for coffee and treats and ended our days by walking to many wonderful resturants for dinner glad to walk off the calories afterwards. Especially appreciated was the fridge stocked with cold beer and the wine cabinet, saving us a trip to the store after the long trip to get there. The kitchen is the best stocked of any we have seen and we used the fabulous waffle iron ( I am asking for one for Christmas) to make many bedtime treats. Thanks - Kates Place - for a special family vacation .

    • We recently enjoyed a reunion with dear friends at Kate's Place and it was a fabulous site for our gathering. The home is interesting and charming with a wonderfully equipped kitchen, lovely dishes for dining, comfortable conversation areas and flowers and garden areas to delight the eye. Our dinners on the patio were especially enjoyable surrounded by blooming roses and twinkling lights. Being close to the downtown area and the Empire Mine are an added bonus and we look forward to a return visit. Thank you.

    • We stayed at Kate's Place while attending a wedding in Grass Valley. We usually stay at vacation rentals when we travel and this one is a five star. The beds were very comfortable and the house was well equipped and beautifully decorated. We walked out the front door every morning and hiked the trails at Empire Mine State Park. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    • We spent our Father's Day weekend in Grass Valley at Kate's Place. What a lovely and exquisitely decorated home in walking distance to the historic district. Accommodating 2 families of 5 each, we especially enjoyed the waffle maker on Sunday morning and the back patio for a special presentation for the dads. We look forward to returning next year!

    • What a lovely & beautifully decorated home. We had a wonderful time. Cooked almost all our meals in the great kitchen & covered BBQ area, right off of the kitchen. It was raining & snowing much of the time & although the snow was beautiful we weren't able to take a planned walk downtown which would have been lovely but other than that it was a perfect weekend for all of us, 4 couples. Very comfortable. 2/5-9/09

    • I stayed at Kate's Place from Aug 29-31, 2008 with my husband, daughter, and two other couples when we were in town for a wedding. We found Kate's Place to be spacious with all the comforts of home. The oversized couches and living room were perfect for allowing a group of old friends to catch up and spend some time together. The location was just a short walk from the main streets in Grass Valley and close to restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend Kate's Place to anyone staying in the area. The owners took great care in preparing this home for guests and you will not be disappointed by the warm hospitality it emits.

    • We had an amazing weekend at Kate's Place. A perfect retreat for total relaxation! The amenities were wonderful, with all the comforts of home. All the charm we would hope to find when visiting this beautiful area. Coffee out on the patio among the spectacular garden is the perfect way to start the day. We look forward to visiting again and bringing more friends.---9/20-22/08

    • We don't think we've ever slept in more comfortable beds. The home is so beautifully restored & decorated. We felt so at home. Everything we needed was there for our use. The patio & garden are lovely. It seemed the owners had anticipated almost all of our needs. The Grass Valley/Nevada City area is full of wonderful surprises & our visit & tour of the Empire Mine State Park was great fun. Thanks for your hospitality & we will be back.
