Nevada City Casa Mariposa Stay

Our property for our stay was absolutely amazing! House was very clean and very modern. Absolutely fantastic kitchen! Our bed was quite comfortable, bathroom was very enjoyable, and plenty of towels/washclothes for everyone! We also very much appreciated the back deck to sit around the table & enjoy the incredible weather! Thanks so much to Nicole our host! You made our visit a very memorable one!
