Fairweather Inn and Nevada City Cabins

Fairweather Inn and Nevada City Cabins

10/10 Excellent
"This was a quick trip. I thought I was booking at the inn but my booking was actually a cabin down the road a mile in Nevada City, maybe I didn’t read that listing clearly either way it wasn’t a big deal but do be sure to read if you’re being booked into a cabin or at the actual Inn. The cabin was very clean, Keurig coffee inside, comfortable beds! The history of these towns is so very interesting! Parking for us was right in front of the cabin very easy"

10/10 Excellent
"I liked the space and the grounds were well kept and attractive. The staff was exceptional and very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again. What was less than perfect was the fact that there is no air conditioning although the front staff say installation of A/C is in the works and maybe a year off. we visited when the temperature was in the 90's and it got even hotter a few days after we left. The property is beautiful, especially the back lawn area with creek and water wheel but was not crazy about the cabins proximity to the highway which causes quite noticeable traffic/truck noise. Even so, we enjoyed our stay."

Historic Bonanza Inn Room 7 in Virginia City

Historic Bonanza Inn Room 7 in Virginia City

10/10 Excellent
"It was in a little old building with history. There are only seven rooms. There is no staff that greet you or is at the hotel, but you can contact them at any time. We just loved staying there. It is very clean very well maintained. Very comfortable bed and pillows. The cute little lobby has coffee, tea, and a sitting area for you. If you want to feel like you’re in Virginia City in the older days as far as the building goes, this is the place to stay. You won’t be sorry."

Hangman’s Guest Ranch - Meadowlark Cabin. Entire cabin by historic Virginia City

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and great for being out of the way. No Wifi, no TV so that is what was expected. The part that I didn’t like was finding it. Please put up some kind of signage. Nothing said Hangman’s Ranch, there was no number 18 on the property entrance only a no trespassing sign. We drove a long way down a dirt road looking for it but kept seeing no trespassing signs. Finally we turned around and took a chance on the entrance that was closest to the main road that said no trespassing. Thankfully the description matched once we got to the cabin areas. We were very close to chalking it up as a scam and driving back to Bozeman but the innkeeper had seemed so legit when we corresponded. I would have tried from right there on the dirt road but I didn’t have signal and there was no contact phone number. For future guests there was an arrow that said ‘train station’ pointing down the road but there was no train station. Aside from that, it was a lovely out of the way cabin to go off grid for a night."
