Historical Victorian Cottage

New deck: more shade, more privacy. My guests do not do chores. We do appreciate guests who are tidy and keep the house clean. Our home is in walking distance to downtown, hiking trails, and other activities; yet quiet for restful evenings. The large deck for morning coffee or an evening beverage. Off street parking onsite. As of January 1, 2026 I will be closing my house for short term rental. The city's short term rental policies have changed.

Cozy Cottage with Pool and Sauna

A peaceful, wooded getaway, the property has two guest cottages, the cozy 1BR/1BA main cottage with wraparound deck, potbelly gas stove, high speed wi-fi, and fully equipped kitchen. And at a short distance, the charming casita houses the second bedroom with its own sun deck but no bathroom. 15 mins from Nevada City, the cabin is central to many of the area’s best swimming holes, hiking and biking trails.
