About this property
Adorable Two-Person Bungalow in Downtown Nevada City
An adorable and private cottage in downtown Nevada City - just a few minutes walk to the shops, galleries, cafes, bars, restaurants, and events of the charming and historic Nevada City. The Downtown Bungalow features a bedroom with a queen memory foam bed, flat screen HD TV, closet and chair. The bathroom includes organic shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion, plus a hairdryer and luxurious towels. The kitchen has a full set up including a coffee cone, coffee press, burr coffee grinder, juicer and all the appliances, pans, and dishes you need for your stay (a regular 12-cup coffeemaker is available by request.) A gas grill is on the patio. There is a dining area and lovely outdoor patio under a pergola for your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. We provide French coffee beans, tea, and sparkling water (+treats!) The Bungalow is a separate building on our property, with owner interaction at a minimum. There is private parking for one car. There is heat and AC (during warm months only) in the Bungalow, + a ceiling fan. Please note that the Bungalow is a small granny unit, appropriate for one person or a couple. The shower ceiling is on the low side!
Please note that we charge a 10% bed tax on our nightly rate (i.e. $14 for our standard $140 nightly fee). This is payable at the Bungalow at check-in. cash preferred. It is a hospitality tax that goes directly
to Nevada City.
The Bungalow is on a quiet street yet just a short downhill walk into lively downtown Nevada City. The property is beautifully landscaped and there is a seasonal creek running just outside the Bungalow. There are numerous hiking, biking, and running trails within walking distance from the property. The amazing Yuba River is a short drive away.
