If you want to connect with nature this is the place to stay. The creek was amazing and we had Danny drive us down since it was too hot to walk. Him and his wife were great with communicating and accommodating us with whatever we needed. we look forward to coming back with another couple this time.

It's a beautiful area! We took a drive down to the river and fell in love. What a fantastic place! My wife and I took a little nap next to the water. I suggest checking out the Historic Bridgeport Covered Bridge. Probably a 15-minute drive About 3/4 of the way down the driveway, there’s a bench on the right-hand side. I suggest going up to that bench right before sunset and sitting on it with your wife. It's such a beautiful site, overlooking the California coastal range and the Sutter Buttes.We would’ve given five stars, but one small thing about this Vrbo has made it different from all the others we’ve stayed at: It needs a better housekeeper and to be decluttered. Thank you so much for the hospitality! Such nice hosts.

I was offered the upstairs unit because they thought I would like it more due to noise from the wood shop and them directly above the unit.The unit I originally rented seemed like storage and a private library space for owners, with shoes and family photos in the space. So I volunteered to switch. I didnt feel like it was ready for guests. But in retrospect it felt like a bait and switch. There were dirty sponges or scrub brushes in every drawer in the bathroom as well as a rat trap under the sink. Where the bed was and the stair way was a bit dubious in the middle of the night for a bathroom run, I had to be very aware of my surroundings. The hosts were especially nice and cordial so it hard for me to give this bad review.
Incredible place to call home for the weekend - the view and amenities were even better than expected! Our hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful - our only regret is wishing we had more time! We hope to come back again in the future : )

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.
