The owners went above & beyond. The property looks a little more remote than it actually is: which turned out to be super convenient for accessing either Grass Valley or Nevada City. ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KaShell V.

The hosts were warm and welcoming and made sure every detail of our stay was perfect. The continental breakfast each morning was fresh and delicious. So nice to have the whole sunroom to ourselves to play pool, enjoy views of the Koi pond and have glimpses of small airplanes preparing to take off. Nature was right outside of our window, of birds and several deer only a few feet away. ##### Peggy P. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandon D.

The room is separated from the main home allowing for complete privacy. The sunroom was a great place to hang out with my hubby and shoot some pool. The hot tub was hot bubbly and relaxing under the stars. The bed was so cozy and we enjoyed a great breakfast provided by our wonderful hosts. There was also an outdoor fireplace to cuddle by, fully prepared with wood logs. Thank you for providing a place for us to enjoy the much needed R&R ##### Cristal S.

Having access to the sun room made all the difference as the room itself is not large but it served our needs just fine. The icing on the cake is the continental breakfast the host put out each morning which was truly beautiful. You can tell the hosts care for their property and are proud of their offering.

Whatever question we had, they answered. The breakfast they set out each morning was delicious- Julie makes the best blueberry muffins. We had the entire area (sunroom, jacuzzi, barbeque area, outdoor fireplace area, and outside sitting area by the koi pond to ourselves. Everything was super clean. Our bed was comfortable. It is very clear that the hosts love this place and take great care of it. We cannot wait to go back. ##### Gina P.
