Cabin in the woods

We were in town to visit my sister and my newly born nephew that live in Nevada City. This was a great cabin to come back to and relax in while we weren't with family. It rained the whole weekend so we weren't able to enjoy the outside amenities, but the cabin was lovely. Would definitely recommend and would definitely rent again the next time in town.

Beautiful and spacious cottage in the forest

My spouse and I were visiting Nevada City for a friends’ wedding. We booked the place because it was walking distance from the venue. The cottage was adorable and had everything we needed. The photos definitely don’t reflect how spacious and cute it is. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect everything. I am a clean freak and this place was spotless with no odors like many places. Hayley was awesome. I can’t say enough good things about her. We weren’t able to stay all 4 nights due to smoke from nearby fires. She actually adjusted our rate, even though she had no control over the situation. We will stay there again without hesitation. Besides, I’m wanting to be honored again with a nighttime visit from the coyotes!!

Sweet little spot

This is a great home base for a small group to use for day trips all around Nevada City. The Wheelhouse Bar and Grill is walkable with great food, great music and great beer. Hayley and Troy were very considerate and the cottage was clean and enjoyable. We drove the 5 mins to Scott’s Flat Reservoir and rented kayaks and paddle boards for an enjoyable day. All very close! If I was pressed to complain it would be that I didn’t get to spend time with their adorable dog. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Hayley Demarest

We moved to Nevada city in 2013 and believe that it is the best town to call home!

Why they chose this property

Our favorite area in Nevada city is right outside our door. We’ve got the pioneer trail for mountain biking and hiking in walking distance, Scotts Flat Lake a short drive down the road, downtown Nevada city 5 miles away, and their river a short drive.
