The best vacation rental in Nevada City! Snippets from our reviews:"Wow. This was by far the best VRBO I've ever stayed at, and I've stayed at dozens." -Michael "I don’t know how many times our group kept commenting on how amazing the place was." -CrystalKindly read through the entire description before booking. Thank you :)Creekfront designer cabin on 8 acres with hot tub. The private creek is year-round and perfect for dipping on a hot day. There is a large fire pit, horseshoes, and a hammock by the creek. Seclusion and quietude in nature yet 4 minutes to downtown Nevada City, 15 min to rivers & lakes, and 45 min to ski resorts. This is the place for people who are tired of rentals that lack amenities or aesthetic quality. This is also a non-toxic, eco-friendly sanctuary.There are four bedrooms in the main house and an optional separate studio to rent. (Note the description says this is 5 bedrooms-- so if only renting the main house you are renting 4 bedrooms, or you can optionally add the studio for a fifth bedroom.) The main house has two bedrooms with king beds, one bedroom with a twin bed and a twin air mattress (if needed but please request ahead of time), and an enclosed den with a queen murphy bed. There are three bathrooms. This allows for a maximum of 8 people in the main house. For 9-11 guests, or if you just want extra space for a smaller party, you can rent the separate studio for $125/night plus $125 cleaning fee (and 10% local tax). This is discounted from our regular rates. The studio is beautifully renovated with a queen bed, full kitchen, bathroom, and living area with sofa for a child or young adult to sleep on. Photos for the studio are in this listing photo set. To rent the studio, please check with me about its availability before booking, and then make your booking here with the total amount of people staying in the main house *and* the studio. The kitchen is fully equipped-- this is not like other rentals that lack wine glasses or cooking pans! We have a Ninja blender, instant pot/slow cooker, toaster, French press coffee maker, coffee grinder, lots of dishes and utensils, state of the art drinking water filtration system, gas oven and stove, baking dishes and pans, and more. You'll also be provided with organic cooking oil and organic spices.The owner specializes in non-toxic home design so everything from the mattresses and bedding to the soap & shampoo are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and/or organic.You have complete reign of the 8 acre property, including the hot tub, and private creekfront park with gazebo, fire pit, and horseshoe pit. Sometimes we rent out a studio on the property (or you can rent it-- see details above), but studio guests do not have access to acres of the property that are just for you, so the hot tub, fire pit, gazebo, horse shoe pit, and more is yours. If you want total privacy, we can block out the studio from being rented for an additional $75/night, or you can rent it for $125/night plus $125 cleaning fee and 10% local tax (see details above). Pack and play, bassinet, and dining table booster seat with tray are available! Please just bring your own sheet for the pack and play or bassinet. We also have a twin air bed, which is usually needed if 8 guests are staying in the main home (if the studio is not rented). Please request the air bed in advance of your arrival so we can set it up for you. It can snow occasionally in the winter-- usually only about 10 days per year between December or January through March. Sometimes we are able to plow the driveway for longer-term stays. If not, you will either need snow chains and/or a 4WD vehicle to access the home. But-- we are happy to offer a more flexible cancellation policy for winter guests in the event that the driveway would be inaccessible for you. Please just message me when booking for more details on this flexible cancellation. (You must arrange for this at the time of booking, though, not more than a day or two after. Thank you.)No parties or events, and please ask if you want to invite anyone to the home who is not in the guest count at booking.We love dogs and do not discriminate against breeds!
