About this property

Red Dog Retreat is located in a quiet wooded oasis 2.5 miles directly up the hill from downtown Broad St.
Only a 7 minute easy drive to Historic Downtown Nevada City and 15 minutes to the Yuba River.
Walking and biking trails are steps away from our property and we are a short drive to Scott's Flat Reservoir.
Bring your bikes, boats and kayaks!
Grill and sit around the fire pit on our wrap around deck.
I love my peaceful home and look forward to sharing my quiet oasis with guests from all backgrounds.
I live part time in the studio that is attached to the garage. Guests may see me occasionally in the long driveway when I take my dog out for a walk. If you do see me while you are here, feel free to say hello or ask me for whatever you might need, otherwise, I will completely respect your privacy.

Luxury a short driving distance from town

The house was beautifully decorated and very comfortable! The large windows brought in great light and a view of the outdoors. Only disappointment was the posting showed a yard with a ping pong table but there wasn’t one and the yard was really unusable. Would definitely go back and refer to friends and family!

Lovely hangout close to Yuba river

We've had a lovely stay at this beautiful home near NC and Yuba river. We enjoyed hanging out at the house and loved to sip our coffee at the porch in the morning. We've spend most of our time at the Yuba river and loved every minute of it. The house was well stocked, clean and homey. The host was very attentive and fast to reply. We would definitely come back.

Great Place!

We are a family of five and very much enjoyed our stay here for a 4day weekend. The home was clean and very nice. The yard is spacious and there is a grill, however, due to the cold weather we didn’t use it. We drove to Johnson Canyon to take our children to the snow, and that was only a 45min drive. We were surprised to see how cute and developed Nevada City and Grass Valley are. Our children very much enjoyed the Empire Mine museum.

Amazing tranquil get away retreat

We just had the pleasure to stay at the Red Dog Retreat for 5 nights. The property was very comfortable, very clean and very quiet. The beds slept well and warm as the evenings are starting to get cold. This special home had everything we needed for a fabulous experience. We highly recommend this home.

The Little Things

The host provided a nice welcome package with wine and snacks and was available to answer any questions that I had. The house was clean and spacious and stocked with everything that we needed during our stay. If a few of these items (ex. eggs, body wash) we're provided, it wouldn't have been a deal-breaker, but it's nice to have a host that takes care of the little things.

Perfect getaway in Nevada City

This is my 3rd or maybe 4th time staying at Jody and Linda’s charming home and it’s my absolute favorite. They are so helpful and friendly. Everything about the check in and out process is clear and accessible. The house is so cozy, comfortable, and spacious. I plan to come back here every time I’m in town!

Great home in the woods, close to downtown and amenities!

Listing details and photos were very accurate. Owners were welcoming, helpful, and communicative. Only about a 7 minute drive to downtown Nevada City. They offered some nice extras in their house, just what we needed to make our stay comfortable! Thanks so much.

Beautiful home

This house shows so much thoughtfulness from its owners--modern yet cozy decorating, great array of condiments and basic cooking ingredients, a bottle of wine and some snacks left for us, responsive communication with Linda, easy to follow directions to the best river swimming holes on the planet! The pictures included with the profile are accurate--such great windows. The house is set back from the road and quite private. I look forward to returning!

Wonderful short visit!

My Mother and I came into Nevada City to visit a family friend and had a lovely 3 day stay here. Linda was easy to get a hold of when we had a question and was friendly and responsive. The house was well put together with all the amenities we needed and they left us a few goodies and a bottle of wine (very kind and thoughtful!). They had basic living and cooking needs to share (including condiments, spices, some dry foods and things like teas, etc.) and even had a section in the fridge with things for us like a few yogurts, some OJ, sparkling waters, and a few eggs. The house is back off the road a bit (which I wasn't sure of and was pleasantly surprised to see) with plenty of parking and was well kept and in good condition. It was quiet and peaceful at night and I found the beds to be very comfortable. Tastefully decorated and with a nice selection of television choices and strong wifi. No complaints here....Thanks for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Amburgey

Im a highly communicative introvert who spends my time quietly enjoying nature, my dog, friends and family. I own a metaphysical store in the Bay Area, and I am a professional astrological counselor.

Why they chose this property

Nevada City is one of the most beautiful and historically interesting cities in California. There are plenty of amazing restaurants, bars and breweries, and grocery stores for such a quaint town. The Victorian Christmas is a must! Tahoe is an hour drive. And perhaps the biggest draw is the pristine Yuba River!

What makes this property unique

Located close to town, but far enough away to be quiet and restful. Most everyone comments on how peaceful it is to sit inside or on the deck overlooking the trees. The beds are high end and super comfy, and the decor is thoughtful and modern, while still feeling cozy. I also provide an extremely well stocked kitchen.
