About this property

Adorable Two-Person Bungalow in Downtown Nevada City

An adorable and private cottage in downtown Nevada City - just a few minutes walk to the shops, galleries, cafes, bars, restaurants, and events of the charming and historic Nevada City. The Downtown Bungalow features a bedroom with a queen memory foam bed, flat screen HD TV, closet and chair. The bathroom includes organic shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion, plus a hairdryer and luxurious towels. The kitchen has a full set up including a coffee cone, coffee press, coffee grinder, juicer and all the appliances, pans, and dishes you need for your stay (a regular 12-cup coffeemaker is available by request.) A gas grill is on the patio. There is a dining area and lovely outdoor patio under a pergola for your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. We provide French coffee beans, tea, and sparkling water (+treats!) The Bungalow is a separate building on our property, with owner interaction at a minimum. There is private parking for one car. There is heat and AC (during warm months only) in the Bungalow, + a ceiling fan. Please note that the Bungalow is a small granny unit, appropriate for one person or a couple. The shower ceiling is on the low side!

Please note that we charge the City Bed Tax on our nightly rate + cleaning fee ($15-$16/night). This is payable at the Bungalow at check-in because VRBO does not automatically collect it from you. Cash preferred. It is a hospitality tax that goes directly to Nevada City.

The Bungalow is on a quiet street yet just a short downhill walk into lively downtown Nevada City. The property is beautifully landscaped and there is a seasonal creek running just outside the Bungalow. There are numerous hiking, biking, and running trails within walking distance from the property. The amazing Yuba River is a short drive away.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Lovely, quiet, close enough to town to walk though it has some hills, but beautiful neighborhood. Nevada City is an interesting little town with much to offer. The Bungalow is perfect.

This was a wonderful place to stay! During stormy weather the bungalow was wonderfully warm and cozy. Our host was perfect, communicative without being intrusive at all. I appreciated the use of low scent cleaners and absense of heavy perfumes!

Lovely cottage and beautiful location.

The bungalow was lovely and well supplied with everything that we needed to have a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our host, Kathy, provided everything that we could possibly need and was very helpful in informing us of local attractions, and outdoor opportunities. Our stay was truly delightful and hopefully we will return soon.

Quiet retreat just a nice walk from the center of town

I saw the pictures of this bungalow and wanted to be having coffee in that kitchen. Happily, the pix are accurate.Nice walk takes you up to the top of downtown Nevada City and that's a view you'll remember. Sweet place.
