The house was lovely--loved the decor and furnishings, and it was probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in away from home. I loved watching the hummingbirds and jack rabbits in the morning from the porch. Check in and check out were both smooth and easy, and communication was prompt. Although the main house is right next door, with all the trees, it felt very private. A few minor issues:-Kitchen was missing potholders and dish towels-Some dishes had food residue and what looked like mouse droppings in cupboard-Landscaping/outside spaces didn't seem well-maintained/overgrownOther than those few things, it was all around pleasant stay and a good deal for the price if you're looking for a quiet, secluded stay.

Beautiful and peaceful

My partner and I came to escape the grind of the city and enjoy some tranquility, and got exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful views galore, and a great place to bring the dogs for a relaxing weekend. There’s plenty of hiking, food and cute towns to visit. Great spot!

The surrounding property was lovely and the host was available. The tap water turned brown because of the rain, ants got into my gear and food, the heater wouldn't work properly, and there was no tv. The host did try to help the situation by providing drinking water by coming in and fiddling with the thermostat and finally providing a space heater.

Peaceful country setting was great for our holiday weekend exploring the area. Even though it’s out in the country it was close to the river, wineries and restaurants that we wanted to check out. Wonderful hosts.

Peaceful hideaway

My friend and I LOVED staying here. It was so peaceful and comfortable. We spent hours reading, writing, catching up on the porch with beautiful views of the mountains or the cozy sofa and dining nook. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Perfect Getaway

The house is remote, yet so close to town. We had all the family over for a reunion and though it is just a tiny house, there was ample room for everyone to enjoy! I will definitely be back.

Peaceful retreat

Lovely home in serene surroundings. Great place to rest, relax, read, and explore. Lots of birds and a couple of hares add to the ambiance. Fresh eggs from the hens and flowers from the garden make this a truly special place. Will definitely revisit when time allows. Thank you for sharing

Beautiful, peaceful, private, and charming

The Hummingbird House offers a wonderful getaway. The place is comfortable and clean, and the hosts have stocked it with everything one needs - including fresh eggs from their chickens. The property is private and out it in country, yet close enough to easily go back and forth to town (or in our case, the Bluegrass Festival at the Fairgrounds). The view is incredible and the hosts couldn't be more welcoming or accommodating. We love the Hummingbird House!

Cozy Getaway

We had a lovely stay at the Hummingbird House. The house was cozy and comfortable, especially the lovely bed. We got a great nights sleep. The host was friendly and a dog lover, which was great. We were able to walk around the property with our dog, and even in his old age he did a little chase with the host's dog, which was a treat for him. Would return again.

Little Slice of Heaven

We had an amazing time at this place! It was truly such a beautiful spot, and a great place to unwind. Tal was super attentive as a host, and even brought us fresh eggs in the morning! He encouraged us to explore the property and felt genuinely very welcoming. The grounds themselves are quite beautiful and their gardens are incredible! I did get bit by a lot of mosquitoes so I'd bring a citronella candle next time! Would definitely come back here.

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery, beautiful views wildlife and birds— loved the hummingbirds! Close enough to Grass Valley to get there easily and quickly. The hosts have a lovely garden and graciously shared — the flowers, herbs, apples and tomatoes—- just delicious! I loved it all! Thank you!!

The property was peaceful, comfortable and relaxing!. The kitchen had everything we needed. I am not a morning person but because the other guests commented about the sunrise I had to see it too. The sunrise over the mountains was breathtaking! And the blackberries were quite sweet! Thank you!

Serene Getaway

Was a perfect spot for a quiet fall study getaway for my daughter. Thoughtful little touches like fresh eggs from their chickens! Friendly and low key check-in and communication. Beautiful calm view, wildlife, and -of course - hummingbirds! Nevada City is close for a pleasant day outing. Was also a perfect spot for our high energy dog. She made friends, had fun walks, and got to hang out on the porch and in the yard. Will definitely keep on our favorites list for future getaways.
