About this property
Enjoy relaxing sounds of our Creek 2
You will be able to fall asleep to the sounds of Squirrel Creek and enjoy all of the amenities of our 30 acre, woodsy property. A hot tub is right outside your front door adjacent to a large deck equipped with a propane barbecue, hammock and patio furniture.
We are told that the highlight of most guests stay with us is the creek running through the bottom of our property. It is drivable to or a short, but mildly challenging hike down to where we have created a park setting. Stairs that lead to the water's edge, a large swimming hole to enjoy, seating at numerous sites along the creek bed, a Winnebago camper with electricity, water and a functional bathroom next to a 16'x18' deck with a barbecue are all at your disposal.
At your suite you can have use of a propane barbecue with a side burner located on the deck. If you travel down to the creek, we will ask you to sign a liability waiver first.
The spacious unit is set up with 2 twin beds made up as a queen. The kitchenette comes equipped with a microwave, small refrigerator, coffee maker and toaster. Upon your arrival you will find a welcome basket stocked with complimentary drinks, granola bars, microwave popcorn, chips and other snacks. In the unit you will have available for your browsing a book chocked full with ideas to discover here in Nevada County including 12 eateries within 5 miles, maps and descriptions of public swimming beaches located on the Yuba River Watershed, established hiking trails in the area rated by difficulty, maps and descriptions to over 15 local wineries, detailed descriptions and locations of 15 alpine and nordic ski resorts less than 2 hours from your unit.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Danny Estin

We first moved to Nevada County in 1975 to open a group home for delinquent children. We are former educators who have recently retired from our 15 year teaching jobs at the International School of Bangkok. Although we have owned this 30 acre property for nearly 30 years, we only recently have built our home here.
Joanie and Danny are high school sweethearts who have been together for 52 years. Our 34 year daughter lives in Seville, Spain and our 32 year old son resides in Bangkok, Thailand. They say our exposing them to the overseas' life has turned them into international citizens.

Why they chose this property
For the 30 years of owning this property we knew that we would eventually build a home here. This was the plan even during our 15 years teaching in Thailand. Every summer we would come back to our home across the highway from this property, but open a lot of time at the creek. We put in a well, road and built a deck near the water decades before ever moving here.
What makes this property unique
Clearly, the most compelling feature of this home is the location, location, location. Although we are 5 minutes by car from the supermarket, within 5 miles of 14 eating establishments and 15 minutes from Grass Valley, once on our 30 acre property, you get the sense of calm that comes from the sights and sounds you experience from the creek and waterfall's natural tones. Going to sleep with the windows open feel and sound like you are at the ocean listening to lapping waves.
