The Two Room Inn is your own charming Victorian cottage located right in Downtown Nevada City, one of Californiaās most beautifully preserved Gold Rush towns. Step through the garden gate and youāre just feet from cafĆ©s, coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, galleries, wine bars, and everything that makes Nevada City one of the most loved destinations in the Sierra foothills.
Originally built as a minerās cabin, the home evolved over the decades into the distinctive cottage it is today. Some locals remember it from its āTeddy Bear Castleā era, when an antique teddy bear collection connected to the American Victorian Museum lived here. The home has been lovingly cared for, preserving its redwood and elm interior, English stained glass, and cobblestone fireplace crafted from stones brought from Old San Francisco.
The Space
This historic cottage is full of character and charm, with unique architectural details and cozy spaces throughout. The layout reflects the homeās one-of-a-kind personality, blending vintage touches with everyday comfort. The kitchen is compact but fully stocked for simple cooking when youāre not exploring the many wonderful restaurants just steps away.
Guests enjoy multiple outdoor spaces including the front deck overlooking Broad Street and a private landscaped backyard with seating and a grill. Inside, the stained glass windows provide both beauty and privacy, creating a warm, peaceful feel even though youāre right in the heart of town.
