Whether a romantic getaway, a small family vacation, or a solo escape from the city, you will find tranquility and beauty here. Enjoy the gardens, views and fresh air. Expect comfort and convenience...spectacular sunrises and sunsets...picturesque and peaceful. The Hummingbird House is a cozy studio cottage on our beautiful 7 acres property a short drive from historic downtown Grass Valley. There are two other houses on the property (one we live in, one with a long-term renter). We’ve got cell service and WiFi. The cottage offers a plush king bed and a desk area if you need to work remote (while gazing longingly out the window at the trees, mountains and birds of course). Full bathroom with shower and tub, a kitchen with stove, microwave, oven, toaster, coffee maker - all the utensils and cookware you need. We provide freshly ground coffee and a few tea options. Additional sleeping options are the convertible couch in the living room area, which folds down into a full size bed (mattress topper offered for extra comfort) and/or we can provide an air bed. The cottage has a wrap-around deck with dining table and chairs and a futon that can fold down into a bed for optimum stargazing and napping. There is also a private patio and porch swing, in case everyone needs their own little outdoor nook. Guests are encouraged to explore the property! Sit by the pond, try out our makeshift disc golf course (i.e. trees for targets!), utilize the shared outdoor kitchen equipped with sink and bbq, walk the land, play cornhole, watch what we like to call "Hummingbird TV".... And we highly recommend exploring the garden to see what's in season, make yourself a bouquet, or pick some plums, pears, apples, etc! With over 90+ different flowers, trees, herbs etc growing on the property there is lots to explore. We can also provide binoculars and a bird guide for the bird enthusiasts! Dogs are welcome, but please note there are other dogs that live on the property that might come say hello! They are friendly, but you can let us know if it's an issue. We advise that you leash your dog while exploring the property if they don’t do well with other dogs - also this can be helpful as pups do like to take off into the forest once they catch a glimpse of a jackrabbit! ## Property amenities ### Internet -

I stayed for over a week with my dog, working remotely part time and then taking a tech-free vacation. The space is easy to work remote from, and my dog and I enjoyed walking around the roughly half mile loop around their property or heading out to go hiking (tons of dog friendly hikes nearby), reading in the shade, doing yoga on the porch and cooking in the kitchen.

They even dropped off sweets for New Year’s Eve after asking if we had any dietary restrictions, which we do. Although the home feels secluded there is a grocery store as well as Petco only 15 minutes away. Downtown Grass Valley and Nevada City are fun to explore and also nearby! There is another property next door I believe, but we didn’t see the other guests and only heard them nearby once.

May 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable and Spacious Hummingbird House is clean and spacious, and has pretty much everything you need. The views are very pretty and there is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy--with decking on three sides and lots of outdoor furniture and three sets of sliding doors. The only negative I would mention is that the laundry room is on the other side of the bedroom wall, so you can hear the washing machine when it is running and it was somewhat loud. Also, there is no TV, but if you want to watch TV (as we did) a laptop and your own streaming service works just fine. Internet was functional--a touch slow but that is common in rural areas. It's located about ten minutes from town by car, so you get a true country experience while still being close enough to all the Grass Valley shops and restaurants. The bed is large and quite comfortable, as is the sofa. There's a functional little work space, and the kitchen has everything you need, including a gas stove and full-size fridge. Note that the "bedroom" isn't an enclosed room, but has separation from the other areas of the cottage, so someone sleeping late likely would not be disturbed by activities in the kitchen or living room areas. Hummingbird House is a great value and very comfortable, and Tal and Audra are communicative and accommodating hosts. It was pretty close to perfect, and we would definitely stay here again. ##### Myra M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael H.

Tal answered all questions, helped and gave us fresh eggs for breakfast. We had a great time in the nature, we loved the quietness of the place ##### Michael H.

Oct 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet, beautiful home Tal and Audra were really helpful in letting me check in early and letting me know I’d left something behind. The house is beautifully decorated on the inside and made for a really cute work from home space for me for a couple days! While not “downtown” in Grass Valley, the location is really pretty with very nice views and lots of wildlife, especially birds, and an easy 15 mins to the Main Street area in town. The house was well stocked and had a helpful guide for the area, which was super sweet of them to provide! ##### Eva M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole C.

The thoughtful touches the owners left for our arrival made us feel immediately at home. Their kindness and helpfulness surpasses any host I've encountered in the past. The property itself is beautiful, natural light and large windows to enjoy the sunrise. Comfortable sitting areas on the porch to enjoy your morning coffee. The house has everything you need, and the hosts are nearby and willing to provide anything else you might need during your stay. The garden is beautiful, and you are urged to pick fresh fruits and veggies for your use (which were delicious by the way, thank you). I wish we had more time to explore the property (we were in town for a wedding that took up a majority of our time), but we will definitely be returning! Thank you again, your home provided the comfort and relaxation we desperately needed. ##### Nicole C.

Close to town, super clean, hosts are amazing. Hosts were super accommodating, we were greeted with warm touches that made us feel at home. We will be returning. ##### Jill K.

It is so open and sunny, with birds always around, the space somehow feels both peaceful and full of life. I can't wait for an excuse to visit again. ##### Hannah B.
