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 - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 750 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69660000/69651800/69651790/1f09c4a3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ulee’s Gold: Cozy Cottage + Loft + Pet-Friendly Nevada City - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=69651790&PinnedHotelID=69651790&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/63000000/62590000/62589300/62589284/027c8df3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Creekside Hideaway Nevada City - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 97 reviews CA $224 CA $411 total includes taxes & fees Nov 24 - Nov 25 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=62589284&PinnedHotelID=62589284&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108710000/108702900/108702807/132c4db0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tiny House with 2 lofts for sleeping.
