We just returned from a lovely stay at the Victorian Rose. The house has everything you could want. The kitchen is beautifully equipped and we had dinner for the extended family who were in town for a wedding. The bedrooms are spacious and linens are very nice. The air conditioning kept the temperature very comfortable even in the attic/loft bedrooms. Very clean and well taken care of. The landscaping in the yard was full of love. Blooming trees and spring flowers. There were 6 of us and we never felt crowded in any way. Plenty of room for all to spreadout and have their own personal space. Walking distance to downtown Grass Valley and easy access to the interstate for extended sightseeing. We will be staying here again.

We had a lovely family reunion at the Victorian Rose. There wasn't anything that this home didn't have to make your stay comfortable. We went the last week of April and the gardens were in bloom along with the dogwood trees. In the evenings, we sat outside on the porch. Although we didn't have children along, there is a wonderful playroom upstairs that would keep them delighted. The kitchen is wonderful. Our guys enjoyed the man-cave. Rooms are very lovely. Single bathroom upstairs, so it helps to be with those who can share. A bedroom on the first floor accommodated our 90 year old. Catherine was very helpful and caring. Our stay was absolutely perfect. We went on the rodeo and car show weekend so our guys were happy. Lots of wonderful shopping to. Thank you Catherine!

Our group of six ladies on a weekend getaway found this home very comfortable. We enjoyed the big kitchen, and the dining room was perfect for having a nice breakfast before heading out to see the sights. We took advantage of the hot tub in the evening, and all the beds were comfortable.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful vacation home. It's the perfect place to spoil your family or a group of friends. We had 11 women and there was plenty of space in the home as well as things to do. I would recommend this rental to anyone who would like to relax and have fun in luxury! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

A True Victorian Rose!

My friends and I stayed at The Victorian Rose for an extended weekend in Grass Valley to celebrate a wedding at The Empire Mine (1 mile drive to the mine). The home comfortably accommodated couples and single friends alike with multiple bedrooms and single beds in the loft. The house is elegantly decorated with authentic antique style yet still has ALL modern amenities, which made making meals and using vanities comfortable. Most hotels in Grass Valley are over priced without personality; therefore, this was an excellent way to have a bed and breakfast feel with all the comforts of home at a low cost, which made the wedding weekend even more memorable. The spacious home allowed the bridal party to create final touches on wedding decor and then accommodated our pre-wedding get ready party (house has an I-Pod doc as well). None-the-less, we enjoyed the space, the beauty and the memories of our stay. PERFECT for a wedding weekend at The Empire Mine or just a get away to Grass Valley - the town is less than half a mile walk.

Owner response:We try very hard to make our Victorian unique and memorable! We're glad you had a great time!

A Great Location - Wonderful for Gatherings

We rented A Victorian Rose for out-of-town family to stay when our son was getting married at Empire Mine. The location is perfect with ample parking for all the guests. It is centrally located and close to town. The house is absolutely lovely. It was such a great place for our family and friends to gather before and after the wedding. The "man cave" certainly was a hit. Even the bride and groom stayed quite late to hang out with their friends. The home is very well maintained and they have everything to make your stay wonderful. Even better, the owners are terrific! They were very helpful, suggesting places to eat and things to do. By the time our weekend came around, I almost felt like we were friends! The price cannot be beat. So much better than staying at one of the hotels or motels. I would highly recommend staying here!

Owner response:We delight in sharing our wonderful Victorian with families, especially during weddings. We try to treat our guests as if they were our own family! We are less than two miles from Empire Mine and within walking distance of the downtown shops, restaurants and wine tasting, so we love the location too! Please come back again some time!

We had a wonderful time at A Victorian Rose. Its proximity to downtown made everything within walking distance, even the wine tasting rooms. This was the first time we were able to spend three days with our friends because the house was big enough to handle all of us. I would highly recommend A Viictorian Rose to anyone who wants a nice place to stay while in the Grass Valley area. We also enjoyed Nevada City.

Our group loved exploring the Grass Valley area, and looked forward to coming "home" to A Victorian Rose each evening. What a great place to hang out with friends! There are many inviting corners to sit and relax or spend time with others, both inside and out, but we usually found ourselves sitting around the table in the dining room, next to the kitchen so we could pour a drink or find some food. The kitchen was set up perfectly, with anything we needed to cook a meal. Then at bedtime, we could retreat to our own cozy bedrooms. What a perfect place to stay! Thank you.

What a terrific house! Our family of 4 (boys aged 9,13,&17) and our neighbors family of 3(boy aged 10)had a very comfortable stay. The house has everything you need. It was like being at home! We stayed the weekend before Christmas and went to Grass Valley's Cornish Christmas downtown. The house is in such a great location we were easily able to walk downtown and not have to deal with parking. What a perfect setting to get into the Holiday spirit! We also went to the Christmas show at Off-Broadstreet Theatre, a MUST when in the area! The boys hung out in the rec-room and the adults enjoyed wine in the parlor! Perfect! We definitely are planning more trips to the Victorian Rose!

I had the pleasure of staying here with my child while on a business trip. I worked a good part of the day, and the rest was reserved for time with my son. The house is beautiful, centrally located, and very child friendly. We were able to go on walks and experienced many adventures. The location is close to town,& businesses. When I returned to the house each day, my child was kept busy exploring the yard, and the playroom, so I could have meetings in the gorgeous living room. We were close to town, and a short drive to the river & covered bridge. The house was the perfect place to stay, nice and quite, and so much warmer then a hotel. Access to a kitchen was a cost savings, and a great convenience. The owner is a joy, and pleasure. This is the only place I would stay when I return. The house made what could of been a stressful & very busy & drab business trip, manageable and surprisingly enjoyable for myself & my child. The house is so charming, it is easy to shut off the business mind, relax & enjoy the splendor. You can not be stressed in this beautiful & serene location. Thank you so very much for creating such a lovely place for us to temporarily call home.

Our family of 6 adults and three very small children ( ages 3, 17 months and 2 months!) really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. As owners of a vacation rental ourselves, we appreciated the obvious love Catherine & Ross have for their home. We were in the area for a wedding, and decided to make it an extended fun family time. We arrived on Friday, July 3 and departed on Monday, July 6. We can certainly reccommend Grass Valley as a great place to spend the 4th of July. Wonderful parade, lots to do in town, and a very easy walk for all. It's a tie for our favorite place - the front porch which was all decorated for America's birthday with the great wicker chairs, or the upstairs "hidden" toy area. There was plenty of room and numerous quiet areas. Nap times were easy to achieve ( for grownups, too!). The house was so quiet, we never even heard the baby at 2:00am. I would reccommend this to anyone looking for a very special getaway.

This comment is long overdue. We stayed at the Victorian Rose from June 17 through June 21 of 2009 for our wedding in nearby Alta on June 20. There were 7 of us and it saved us a lot of money and hassle to stay with the Victorian Rose instead of renting out a bunch of rooms at a hotel. The house was absolutely charming! There was a definite energy about the house that was unmistakable from the minute we walked in. We would definitely recommend this home away from home to anyone who might travel to this part of the world. Catherine was very interested in our comfort and was always only a phone call away if anything was needed and even called a couple of times to see how everything was going for us. We even had a small bachelor/bachelorette get together with our traveling companions in the hot tub. I sicerely hope that we get the chance to use this place once again.

Fantastic house, amenities & location! We stayed at the house for 3 nights in mid-April (I'm a bit slow in getting this posted). The weather couldn't have been more perfect. This was a 'girls getaway' weekend for 5 of us that have been friends since high school ... and we're now in our late 50s. Catherine, the owner, is very nice, communicative and helpful. Great to deal with! We spent a lot of time on the wonderful front porch chatting & giggling, and fortunately had no complaints from the neighbors. The house is decorated beautifully, with many upgrades to the kitchen. The beds are all comfortable, the spa is *great*. Catherine takes great pride in managing the property for her guests, and has added many thoughtful touches to make your stay as perfect as possible. Thank you for such a wonderful place for us girls to reconnect!

Terrific. We had 14 folks (half were teenagers) and loved it. The kids mostly hung out in the seperate detached rec-room (converted garage). The house was clean and the owners were very helpful. All within short walking distance of downtown Grass Valley. The beer steins in the freezer were a nice touch!

This vacation home was truly that, a home away from home. My family and I were visiting the area under rather difficult circumstances. We had just lost my grandfather and were in town for the funeral. A Victorian Rose provided a beautiful, calming respite. We were fortunate that a reservation was available for the weekend we needed and Catherine made all the arrangements so easy. Reservations, confirmation, and "check-in" were so smooth. The spacious home provided plenty of room to "get away" when each of us needed our own private time. The game room provided a fun getaway for my 12 year old son. Empire Mine State Park is within walking distance for day hikes and downtown is just a hop/skip/jump...you almost don't need a car once you are there. There was something for everyone!! We all thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful aesthetics of the home, too. It truly was a place that made us feel "at home". I was especially impressed by the kitchen and how wonderfully well stocked it was. I could cook for the family with no worries that I might need to go out and get anything other than food. This vacation home was fabulous and more than I anticipated. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone visiting the area.

A more perfect setting could not have been found for the 'sleepover' for a group of highschool friends that all turned 60. We found the house to be truly enchanting, and the blooming dogwoods breath-taking. We all had an incredible time renewing friendships. I highly recommend this charming house to any and all who can enjoy its beauty.

What a darling house! Everything written about the home was true, as we explored the house. I really appreciated all the beautiful updating done on your home. Staying here made for the most wonderful weekend. There was room for all to stay and be comfortable. The location was ideal for our wedding in Nevada City and our rehearsal dinner at Goomba's Italian Restaurant soon to open on Colfax Ave. We will certainly be back to your wonderful home!

Three small families shared this house for a weekend trip. It was absolutely fantastic! We walked to the market and had all our meals at the house. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked. Each set of parents had a room, and most of the kids bunked together in a fun room upstairs with toys and a TV. The dads loved the "rec room" and everyone loved the hot-tub. We instantly felt at home and loved everything about the house. We hope to return in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at the Victorian Rose for our annual Ladies Christmas Shopping Trip. There were about ten of us, and we enjoyed a wonderful meal together in the home the first night. The kitchen was AMAZINGLY well-stocked and the home had everything we needed. The shopping was fabulous, and many of the ladies in our group (who came from as far as Colorado Springs) said it was the best shopping trip EVER (and we have been doing this for at least 30 years). The snow that fell on our final day was the tip of the iceberg! Thank you so very much!

What a wonderful time we had in your beautiful victorian! A very short walk to downtown Grass Valley, great kitchen to prepare meals and chat. We loved just hanging out and felt so comfortable and 'right at home.' The recreation room (separte from the house) was ideal for our four 20-something children. Everyone had a comfortable room and slept great! We enjoyed exploring Neveda City (just a 5-minute drive) and there are plenty of fantastic eateries and coffee shops for everyones taste. It was fun to also go to the local bowling alley for "rock-n-bowl" -- great family fun was had by all. Thanks for sharing your home with us!!!!!

What a lovely place! It ended up being 2 vacations in one as we deposited the kids in the rec room & scarcely saw them again until we left!We decided it was too hot to go to the shade free fairgrounds for the festival and spent Saturday hanging around the house, playing croquet and cards, napping, reading, having evening cocktails on the porch. It’s a beautiful home, bigger than it looks on the website with a superbly well stocked kitchen and in great shape. What a treat that for a family of 5 who travel with their dogs.

We stayed at the Victorian Rose for our grandson's eighth grade graduation from Grass Valley Charter School. Our daughter,son-in-law, twin one year old grandsons and three year old gradaughter stayed with us. We had a great time from playing in the toy room, to hanging out in the yard and front porch. When my 14 year old grandson and his family (also 11 year old twin girls, 13 year year old grandson and 7 year old grandaughter) came over, they had a wonderful time in the garage play room and hot tub. It suited us perfectly, we were sad to leave. By the way, our twin 11 year old grandaughters found the victorian heart which was in plain sight but we didn't see it even though we were looking for it!

May 19, 2008The Victorian Rose was the scene chosen for this year's family reunion for my mother, two sisters,and myself.  We had a delightful stay at the Rose and loved every minute of it!  We found it to be quaint, convenient, comfortable and so welcoming. It had something for everyone and we took advantage of it all, including the wonderful jacuzzi.  We felt like we had been transported back in time but we still had all the coveniences of today.  The Victorian Rose has been planned and well-outfitted with tender, loving care.  We loved it and will return.   Linda Garcia

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Victorian Rose. All the ladies in our family get together once a year (8 of us) and we have stayed in places fom Cambria to Calistoga, and once even went on a cruise to Vancouver, BC. This was one of our favorite places, and even though we had plans to "Paint the Town Red", other than shopping for food, we never left the house! The Dogwoods and Lilacs were in full bloom and painted such a pretty view from every window. We will surely return and next time at least get in to town. Deanna

Our family gathered in Grass Valley for a nieces wedding. Two families stayed at the Victorian Rose and because the wedding reception was held at the Elks Lodge, the rest of the family gathered at the Victorian Rose after the wedding festivities. The house and kitchen accommodated all the eating and merriment. The close proximity to downtown Grass Valley meant that we could make frequent runs to the grocery store when we needed. The family took full advantage of what Grass Valley had to offer, shopping, hiking, skiing and just enjoying the beautiful weather and sunny porch. The game room kept the 30 year old "children" busy and the toys provided "new" interest for the 9 month old. We had a wonderful time

Everyone seemed to find a place of comfort--mine was the front porch in the sun (yes, it was very warm and sunny while we were there) A new hot tub was just installed so we all enjoyed that as well.

This was our first time at "A Victorian Rose", and it was perfect. Our family gathered for an early Christmas celebration, and to our delight Catherine had the entire place decked out with Christams cheer. Each room had a pleasant decor, and we enjoyed hanging out and dining together. We were 8 adults, three children, two Golden Retrievers, and 6 dinner guests; yet we had plenty of space. The kitchen is especially roomy with all the modern conveniences, and still maintaining a Victorian charm. We were preparing meals for 10 to 14 people, and the kitchen became an enjoyable gathering place. We will certainly keep "A Victorian Rose" on the "A" list of the places to stay in Grass Valley.

Spending Christmas at the Victorian Rose was such a wonderful experience. Every aspect of the house was perfect, from the comfortable furnishings to the inviting layout. There were thoughtful touches throughout...an extrememly nice kitchen, well provided with every thing you needed to prepare a feast for your loved ones...a "rumpus room" built for fun and comfort...many inviting nooks and crannies to curl up with a good book or a game. Even when the weather was quite chilly, the wrap around porch was warm and inviting in the mornings for coffee and the paper. I could go on and on. Everyone in our family from 15-80 loved the Victorian Rose. Thank you Catherine and your family!

My family and I have stayed at Victorian Rose twice now. Both experiences have been fantastic. It's like our new home away from home. The funny thing is .. the house always wraps around us like a big hug. It's feels warm, cozy and comfortable just like our own house. We never even needed a minute to adjust to the new surroundings. The first time was for my brothers funeral. A very sad time yet we were able to entertain family comfortably. Ends up he literally lives right down the street from Victorian Rose. The second time was for Thanksgiving. Again, another difficult time celebrating a holiday with a missing loved one. Again, the family settled right in and enjoyed the surroundings and the spacious environment. Also, the kitchen is well supplied and we had everything necessary for cooking a wonderful holiday meal for about 25 people. Again - another wonderful experience. Most likely this will turn into an annual event and place for us. The children also love hiding the Victorian Rose Heart Ornament every time and laugh when the rooms begin to shake, rattle and roll. The garage game room and jacuzzi are an added plus and help with keeping the kids occupied and having fun! Oh yes I almost forgot my favorite thing - the wrap around porch for visiting and sipping my coffee. I've always wanted a wrap around porch - I guess this one will have to do for now.

Our family usually vacations together for two weeks out of the year and Grass Valley was our destination in 2007. We had plenty of room for 8 people and plenty to do. And we enjoyed hunting for the pin cushion which was found almost on the last day! We enjoyed shopping in the consignment shops and found some good buys. We were not so fortunate in locating my husband's father's mining history but it was fun looking.

We happened upon the Victorian Rose by chance, and were delighted to be able to stay here for a few days. The kitchen facilities are outstanding, as is the game room for the teens. Though for us older adults, the porch was the place to be to reminisce about family and friends We would highly recommend the Victorian Rose as a wonderful family getaway. Our only regret is that we could not have stayed longer.

Travelling from Australia, my 13-year-old daughter and I made our home at A Victorian Rose for several weeks. We found every possible amenity, quality fixtures, and beauty in every inch of this doll's house! We were visited by friends and family, and we all left with many happy memories of A Victorian Rose, Grass Valley, and our friendly and efficient host, Catherine.

A very charming, clean, comfortable place to stay. We enjoyed the excellent cooking facilities and the nice -sized dining area for the family. We would recommend this home without hesitation.

We came to the area for my brother's wedding and had the opportunity to entertain lots of family & friends. The V. Rose worked out perfectly, giving the teenagers a place to hang out (rec. room) and us plenty of room to cook and dine comfortably. And an easy walk to downtown. We would return.

We had an awesome time staying in the Victorian Rose for the first two nights of our honeymoon. It was more comfy and homey than a hotel and we just relaxed and enjoyed the Christmas feeling in the local area.
