Large family home for holidays, retreat, gatherings.

Beautiful country home close to the towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City.
An hour from Truckee and an hour and 20 minutes from lake Tahoe.
Come and enjoy a relaxing, comfortable retreat. Great for family gatherings, birthdays, girls weekend, yoga retreat, youth retreat... And so many more.
There are two master bedrooms with queen beds, one spacious room with two bunk beds, an office/ bedroom with comfy daybed, and another bedroom with a queen bed.
The great room is 24x32 ft. There is room for kids to play, enjoy a movie, play ping pong, play games on the game table or do puzzles, etc.
Up to medium size dogs are welcome. There is a dog bed and food and water dishes supplied. Please keep them off the furniture. There's also a kennel with indoor and outdoor access if you want to leave them while you go out on the town.
The year-round creek is very peaceful and inviting. There are apples in the fall, and room to let your kids run and play.
The kitchen is well stocked and we provide Caroline's coffee (a local coffee shop) both special blend and decaffeinated.
We, Mike and Cheryl, were born in the local towns and have lived here throughout our lives. We love this area and look forward to sharing it with you.

Family get together
We had a great time at our family reunion. We had kids from age 6 to great grandpa who was 96. The hosts made us delicious cookies and as we walked into the house the fireplace was lit welcoming us. The host also provided us some local coffee. There were plenty of dishes and pots and pans as different family members took turns cooking various meals. The beds were super comfortable. The host provided plenty of supplies and sheets and towels. I would just suggest that the host note in the description the way the house has various elevated steps everywhere including a sunken living room. This might be important know for older visitors.

10 Stars! Perfect in Every Way!!
Our family of 12 stayed at this beautiful home to celebrate Christmas together. This multi-level home was equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We arrived to find a beautiful Christmas tree and Christmas lights waiting for us. The gourmet kitchen is amazing with every cupboard labeled so that we could find and put away every kitchen tool we could possibly need. The children enjoyed the ping pong table and other games. The whole family enjoyed a cozy movie night on the big sofa. The skiers loved Sugar Bowl about an hour away. Even Sparky the dog felt welcomed with a cozy bed and dishes waiting for him by the fire.

Family Thanksgiving
We came from all around, from Arizona, Yreka, Sonoma, Citrus Heights and Reno. We needed a large home with child-happy spaces and room for the dog, as well as plenty of beds and common gathering space. We had a perfectly lovely time, with lots of room in the open concept kitchen/livingroom/dining room to cook our Thanksgiving meal. Would highly recommend this place for anyone with a larger party of folks. The hostess Cheryl was so easy to communicate with and was happy to help us with any questions we had during our stay.

Gold country gem
A great property for large groups as the layout is vast with plenty of room to isolate. The sun room with ping pong table and games was a hit. Everything you need for a group getaway. We would return.

Fall fuel mitigation work
Property was nice, clean and plenty of room. We reserved this property for a crew working to reduce fire hazard in the area and everyone was able to have their own space while we also had plenty of room in the kitchen and living area of the home.

A wonderful stay
It’s a beautiful house in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by tall trees and a tiny little creek with rushing water. The house was very clean and the beds were super comfortable to sleep on. It was a home away from home for ages ranging from teens to grandparents. Cheryl was easy to communicate with and accommodated all our request promptly.
