About this property

Escape to Nevada City’s Round House Retreat.

Resident manager ONSITE. Please do not book if you aren’t ok with that.

This is a very special home that is private/gated, but also just a few minutes by car to Historic Downtown Nevada City.

Located just 2.5hrs from San Francisco and the Bay Area, the historic town of Nevada City (and nearby Grass Valley) delights visitors with access to the Tahoe Lake area (50min to Truckee), the Yuba River (10min), historic landmarks, great local shopping, hiking and biking trails.

The 'Round House' is fairly known by many locals as it was a formal gathering space, as a custom-built property sitting on 21 acres with views of the Sierras.

The main home has three round skylighted domes, two wings (3-beds, 2-baths on the west, and 1-bed, 1-bath plus yoga meditation room on the east), and the main 'Great Room' has 19ft-ceilings with a custom-built kitchen, fireplace and attached screen-in porch room that is perfect for family or friend gatherings.

Guests will love having a cup of coffee or a glass of wine in the screened-in porch, or taking a quick respite or workout in the yoga/meditation room.

Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace in the winter, or the hot tub on chilly nights. The pool is salt-water and solar heated, great in most seasons but on the cold days.

This property is great for low-key family gatherings, and has a fully stocked kitchen (blender, waffle maker, coffee maker, utensils, pots/pans and two dishwashers). You need to bring paper towels, ground coffee and your own tupperware.

This is NOT a party house. We belong to an HOA that has strict noise ordinances after 10pm. We also have an on-site manager. She sometimes offers massage therapy. Please inquire at booking for availability.

This is a home that we use as a family regularly, so we ask that guests be respectful of our furnishings. Thank you.

We hope you enjoy your stay!

Wonderful property for a group! The view and backyard were amazing. Comfortable rooms, clean interior and kitchen with anything you could ever need (just maybe more wine glasses). While it feels far from town, it was super close (driving) and easy to get to. Would love to stay in the summer next to take advantage of the pool.

Absolutely fantastic—period.We spent a full week here with four families, and there was more than enough space for everyone to be comfortable. The layout of the living room and kitchen was perfect and became the heart of our stay, where we spent most of our time together.The huge yard was a major bonus for our kids and dogs to run and play. The hosts and manager were gracious and welcoming, and the house truly had everything we needed and more. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate the holidays.

I would give it a 4.5. The host was quick to respond. The location was absolutely breath-taking and the home was spacious and had everything we needed. Would have enjoyed spending more time in the home but we were there for a wedding and quite busy.A few problems we encountered --the internet was often down (host said they were working in the neighborhood) and our cell service was spotty in the area-there were missing blinds in the master bedroom/bath leaving you exposed if anyone was in the backyard-there were a few minor cleaning/maintenance issues but overall it was very goodWould stay again!

Beautiful property - great for families!

We had an amazing time in Nevada City! This house is spacious and beautiful - great for families or other groups who want to spread out. The pool was perfect for hanging out during the hot days and the house is a short drive from downtown Nevada City for restaurants and shopping.

Beautiful home and location!

What an incredible home! The views from the pool area are just perfect! My friends and I had a beautiful stay. House is a quick drive to town but you feel secluded and in nature when you are staying in the home. The house is unique with plenty of space for twelve people. Highly recommend!
