For my husbands birthday I was looking for a place to stay near Grass Valley/Nevada City. This place was perfect! Julie and Ken went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. We enjoyed sitting in front of the fire at night and the delicious breakfast the next morning. Would definitely recommend. ##### Suzanne N.
