Butler Cottage is a treasure

We loved our stay at Butler Cottage. It has all the features that we wanted and special touches that make it great. The hosts are wonderful and gave us good restaurant and hiking recommendations. From the clean cottage to the snack supply and well supplied kitchen for making foot meals, this place is one we will likely return to.

So Nice we came back!

We stayed at this great spot last year and we liked it so much we booked again for this year. It was another great experience. It’s clean and inviting, the location is great. Our little one had the best time at the awesome park just down the street. Thanks again to Justin & Aldo for hosting us once again!

Repeat visitors

We love this property: clean, quiet, private. We stayed here about 10 years ago and were happy to return. It is stocked with everything you might need from a coffee maker to umbrellas to a noice machine by the bed. Grass Valley is a cute town with good food and friendly people. We toured the Empire Mine and drove to Bridgeport to see the covered bridge built in 1862.

Recently stayed at the cabin for 4 nights. It was as advertised (or better). Completely self contained and CLEAN. Cleanliness is a big deal for me. Honestly calling it a “cabin” doesn’t do it justice. It’s more of an apartment with all the modern amenities. Super easy parking and if you’re looking for quiet and peaceful, this is the place. Already looking forward to my next visit.

A comfortable well kept unit.

A positive experience with a few minor issues. No satellite TV as was advertised. TV streaming process difficult to navigate. Suggest a railing on the entry steps as a safety issue exists. Very quiet and peaceful spot and no major complaints. We will definitely consider using it again.

Great house for the price!

We have rented VRBOs from coast to coast and I would rate this house in the top 10 (maybe top 5). Clean and well stocked. Looks like new construction but more than that, much thought have been put into this unit. I appreciate that they charge a lower cleaning fee, as we leave everything really clean and feel like we are getting ripped off with the huge fees that they typically charge. Great KING bed, Hugh end linens, seating is comfortable (in some units this is not the case!). Quiet neighborhood and close to town. Good Keurig coffee maker and plenty of snacks. Lighting was pretty good also (usually NOT the case). We will definitely be back!

Sofa bed was worst ever; most other things were fine

Overall, it was alright, BUT the exception was the sofa bed. It was terrible. The mattress was so thin that the springs and railing punched into my back or sides. The room was almost too small to put a comfortable blow-up mattress on the floor and get back and forth from the bedroom to the toilet. The hosts were nice and easy to deal with, but the whole experience was colored by the BAD BED (sofa bed--other bed was fine).

Like we were the first visitors

The cottage was immaculate in every way. Furniture seemed brand new, bedding was top notch, kitchen appliances and everything one would need was right there, bathroom neat as a pin, fresh and clean. The decor was bright and charming, a TV screen in the living and bedroom, even the garden was neat and tidy. Great natural food co-op nearby, great little downtown with plenty of restaurants, even a nice park a few blocks away for hiking. And so rare and refreshing, a minimal cleaning fee. We always leave wherever we stay neat and tidy, and it's frustrating to see properties listed with fees equal to a days lodging.

Spotless little cottage - well equipped

This was a perfect small cottage exactly as described. It was literally spotless inside. It’s a short drive or a 15 minute walk to downtown Grass Valley. There are two parks less than a block away with a huge frisbee golf course

Excellent!

Butler Cottage is extremely well managed and maintained. A well-appointed property: comfortable and immaculately clean. The outdoor area was lovely and relaxing. Hosts were extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive. The basket of snacks was much appreciated. (One very minor suggestion: a robe hook in the bathroom next to the shower would be nice.) If in the area, we will definitely stay here again!

Great Place for Our Weekend Getaway

The cottage was very comfortable and well-appointed. It had everything we needed and more. Great location in a quiet neighborhood. Set back behind the main house, surrounded by the garden, it felt very private and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I were in town for one of my best friends wedding....we arrived Friday evening around 5:30 and Justin the owner was there to greet us...he just happened to be following behind us and he recognized my personalized license plate because we had a conversation about that earlier on the phone...he was very friendly and offered to help us carry our luggage in which I thought was very nice...anyways the little cottage was verryyy comfy cozy and had everything we needed...Sunday on our way out to go home Justin and his partner Aldo were doing some yard work so we stopped to talk for a bit...they are both super friendly and nice too...we would definitely stay there again and recommend anyone who visits Grass Valley to do the same...😊

Perfect weekend

We were in town for 2 nights for a wedding. The Butler cottage was super cute, cozy, and very clean. The decor was very cool the patio/garden area was charming. The host, Justin, was very flexible. He made an early check in possible despite having back-to-back bookings. If we’re ever back in Grass Valley, we’ll definitely be staying at the Butler Cottage. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Justin Gross

We purchased this property in 2012 and renovated the cottage the following year.
Justin is a voice over actor and has worked on thousands of media projects throughout the years. He also works with a local property management company and holds a real estate broker license.
Aldo also works with a local property management company and is a licensed real estate salesperson.
We (Justin & Aldo) work together on our own local real estate projects.
We've lived in Los Angeles, Houston and now here in Grass Valley, CA. We love to travel and our favorite destination is Maui.

Why they chose this property

I (Justin) grew up here in Grass Valley. I moved away after finishing community college and never thought I would come back. 2012, after selling our home in Houston, we were looking for places to live and I began looking at places for sale in Grass Valley. I wanted to live in town and be walking distance to the downtown area. We found this property and I fell in love with the location. It was a TOTAL gut-job-remodel. All that hard work, blood, sweat and, yes, tears, was worth it.

What makes this property unique

We LOVE that our place is so close to downtown Grass Valley, the Nevada County Fairgrounds and Condon Park.
The cottage is behind the main house and remains private. During the summer, growing right in front of the cottage are: grapes, blackberries, nectarines, blueberries, plums and peaches.
