About this property

Baby Bear's Cottage w/ private hot tub

Just 2.5 miles from downtown Nevada City you'll find Baby Bear's Cottage, a one bedroom, one bath, with your own private hot tub that has a view of the waterfall and pond, on 5 wooded acres adjacent to Papa Bear's Timber Lodge (listing # 46584). This cozy log cottage can be rented alone or for additional space when renting Papa Bear's Lodge. It is an ideal location for relaxing or exploring Nevada City , Grass Valley, or the South Yuba River, both only minutes away by car.
Please note that we are in an area that cannot receive a fast iternet signal. There is wifi calling, and you can check emails etc., but streaming will be pretty impossible. There is a TV with satalite reception. The kitchen features a small stove with oven, microwave, and 3/4 size refrigerator. The bedroom boasts a comfortable king bed and the sounds of the waterfall directly outside. The air is fresh with pine and cedar scent. You are invited to hike their trails if it is the off season, (Camp is is session from May -August) by stopping in at their office and asking permission.
A $55 cleaning fee and 10% bed tax is charged in addition to the room rate. Extra guest charge for third guest is $15/nt. No pets are allowed in Baby Bear's Cottage for the benefit of our guests who have allergies. Sorry, no exceptions. In the heart of downtown Nevada City (2.5 miles) and Grass Valley (5 miles) you'll find great food, outstanding live theater and wonderful galleries and shops. Travel by car to skiing, river or lake kayaking and swimming. There are many bicycle trails through the surrounding hills and plenty of hiking triails. Local and out-of-town musicians can be heard almost any night of the week at several of the theater venues and restaurants. Check the Chamber of Commerce web site at the bottom of this page for information on the many special events happening in the area.Try your hand at gold panning at the Yuba River, and visit the Historic Empire Mine. This area is ideal for mountain bikers, kayakers and hikers, and, for those looking for a romantic getaway. Lake Vera is a small lake surrounded by summer camps and used exclusively by them. ( Our guests have no access.) Our 3 cabins are located on 5 acres next to Camp Augusta. In the summer months (late May to mid August) you can hear 'happy camp sounds' as children enjoy swimming, zip lining and singing around the camp fire, then off to bed by 9:30, quiet hour. You are invited to hike their trails if it is the off season, (Camp is is session from May -August) by stopping in at their office and asking permission. This is the perfect spot to unwind, and although Papa Bear's Lodge is next door, their activities and outdoor area and porch are away from Baby Bear's Cottage. The waterfall goes 24 hours so if you are sensitive to water sounds at night, this may not be the place for you. On a dark night you can see the milky way. You may see a deer or two wander through the yard. this is definitely a special place.

About the host

Hosted by Rene and Drue

Host profile image
Rene had always wanted a log home, ever since she was a child. When we found this property in 2000, we knew it was where we wanted to live and continue raising our son. We have three cabins on the property, all of which are now vacation rentals: Papa Bear's Lodge, Mama Bear's Cabin and Baby Bear's Cottage. We lived in the main lodge for a number of years until our son was grown and on his own. Now we live in town next to Rene's pottery studio. You will see some of her pots in the cabins. We love our guests who are all fantastic and take wonderful care when renting our cabins.

What makes this property unique

Even though we are only 3 miles from the center of town, you feel like you are out in the woods. In the summer time, the children's camp next door emits sounds of laughter and activity. Some of our renters have even taken a ride on the zip line which is high up in the tree tops. In the fall winter and spring is the quiet time. The cabins are decorated with art of all kinds, and cozy comfortable furniture. The setting in the open woods is very special, and we have loved watching the generations of dear, squirrel and turkey families wander through. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we have!
