Come out of the city and stay in this beautiful custom log home in a gorgeous, park-like, 10 acre setting. Relax on either of the two veranda-like porches or nap in one of the hammocks as you listen to the stream in the background. After a day of site-seeing,
shopping, hiking, golfing, skiing, sledding, biking or just relaxing, soak in either the extra deep antique tub or enjoy the jets of the jacuzzi bathtub. Enjoy the new Sundance SPA in the back yard as you listen to the creek, watch the moon rise over the ridge or just bask in beautiful expanse of the country starlit night.
Hop on your bike for ride into the hills or along the paved country roads. Hike through the trails that you can access right behind the house.
Close to the snow -- an easy drive to any of the the nearby ski resorts (Sugar Bowl, Boreal and Donner Ski Ranch, Royal Gorge) snow parks (Yuba Gap, Kingvale and Soda Springs).
In Summer, watch your kids play in the swimming hole, jumping off the rope swing, or just gently soak your feet in the stream while quietly reading a book.
There are trout in the stream, trails to hike, wildflowers to enjoy. You'll feel as if you've come into a whole new world when you walk into this comfortable and beautiful log home.
Enjoy the local flavor of Grass Valley and Nevada City -- music festivals, street fairs, Farmer's Market, Bike races, Blue Grass Festival, World Festival, Celtic Festival, Wineries, Antiques, Golf, Historical center, Mountain biking, Kayaking, Fishing.

About Diane Stevenson
I am a Cath Lab and ICU RN. Due to life circumstance, began vacation renting 2 of my homes a few years ago and find that I love it. It is a pleasure to share my unique homes. Thanks to all that come to them. I hope that all my guests enjoy them as much as I have.
Diane Stevenson purchased this house in 1989
Why Diane Stevenson chose California
This was our family home. My husband and I built it. It is not a 'kit'. He designed it and with a good bit of blood, sweat and tears, it was built with the care of the quality craftsman that he is. We raised our son here. He grew up playing in the creek and hiking in the woods. He is now 25 and with the economy the way it is, renting this home to nice folks helps us finance his education. It is a lovely home in a lovely location. We hope you enjoy staying in it as much as we enjoyed living in it for all those years. Diane Foley Stevenson (OWNER)
What makes this house unique
I love the creek and hiking in the woods. Follow the trail across the creek and up to the top of the property where you will enjoy a spectacular sunset. Walking into the house is like something magical. It really is a unique and special place to spend some well-deserved downtime.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi...I'm the owner and I have just had the pleasure of having my first guests this last weekend. I only recently listed my house on vrbo and I look forward to having many guests who enjoy their stay as much as the first ones have.
Sincerely,
Diane Stevenson

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.8/5 -
(92 traveler reviews)
terrific and very family friendly
Beautiful and very comfortable, so hot (great) outside but the house remained cool and fresh. there was a hammock for everyone. Always a challenge to find a place for grandparents AND kids, but this worked on all levels and my kids could plunge, swim and explore the creek, and lots of other things for them to do as well. Thank you Diane we loved it.
Cute House House on nice Stream.
Nice Log House, but close to neighbors. Open floor plan and cozy. Some things didn't work great CD player, Refrigerator. Over all stay pleasant. Kitchen well equipped.Clean on arrival. Nice yard for kids.
Great house. Fun trip.
Thank you Diane, it was a great trip to grass valley. We appreciated your hospitality and your clean home. We had so much fun swimming at the yuba river. We will be back!
Nice Getaway
This house has everything you need from games, books, cookware, outdoor fun items and hammocks in the backyard! If you have a dog, the ground can be tough on their feet (rocks and burs) so I would suggest bringing dog boots. The house is not far from town and hiking areas. It's very quiet and peaceful at night.
Relaxing house on a creek
Diane's house was very comfortable for our group of six. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook a full meal. Hearing the creek at night was a bonus!
Great get away
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at this log home in Grass Valley. The home was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked and the hot tub was wonderful. It is very quiet even though is located in a neighborhood about 15 minutes south and east of Grass Valley. My wife really enjoyed the stream running behind the house sitting out having her morning coffee. We will stay there again.
