The cottage was the perfect rental for our stay in Nevada City. The location was in a very quiet location with great hiking trails, close to Nevada City downtown and only 5 minutes from our family gathering. The hostess was very responsive to any questions we had. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed and very comfortable.

This place is adorable and perfect for our getaway. The location is an easy walk to town but we felt like we were far away with the trees and limited traffic. The amenities provided were way more then we expected. Lots of bathroom items, kitchen items and robes available for our use. Even a bottle of wine

The only change I would make is to upgrade a bit in the kitchen, mostly a new frying pan or two and go through the refrigerator items and spices as some were outdated.We had a wonderful stay, and the owners were prompt about any questions we had. During the storm, Betsy went out of her way to see that we had pertinent info if the power went out. The cleaning lady was attentive and helpful as was the owner’s daughter. It’s a sweet little cabin, and we enjoyed our time there very much. Historic Grass Valley and Nevada City are fun to shop/explore, and there are some nice hikes nearby. We especially liked Buttermilk Bend. We have lots of photos and great memories!

Peaceful, friendly cottage

Betsy supplies everything you may need for a great getaway. Secluded enough for peaceful days and nights, but also an easy 15 minute walk through the woods into the heart of downtown NC. Loved starting the days on the screened in patio each morning. Would stay here again.

My husband and I loved staying here. It is super clean with everything you need. The back screened-in porch is the bomb. I could live there. The location is perfect, close to trails and downtown Nevada City. P.S. The deep fried brussels sprouts at National Hotel are to die for.
