Adorable Two-Person Bungalow in Downtown Nevada City

An adorable and private cottage in downtown Nevada City - just a few minutes walk to the shops, galleries, cafes, bars, restaurants, and events of the charming and historic Nevada City. The Downtown Bungalow features a bedroom with a queen memory foam bed, flat screen HD TV, closet and chair. The bathroom includes organic shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion, plus a hairdryer and luxurious towels. The kitchen has a full set up including a coffee cone, coffee press, burr coffee grinder, juicer and all the appliances, pans, and dishes you need for your stay (a regular 12-cup coffeemaker is available by request.) A gas grill is on the patio. There is a dining area and lovely outdoor patio under a pergola for your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. We provide French coffee beans, tea, and sparkling water (+treats!) The Bungalow is a separate building on our property, with owner interaction at a minimum. There is private parking for one car. There is heat and AC (during warm months only) in the Bungalow, + a ceiling fan. Please note that the Bungalow is a small granny unit, appropriate for one person or a couple. The shower ceiling is on the low side!

Please note that we charge a 10% bed tax on our nightly rate (i.e. $14 for our standard $140 nightly fee). This is payable at the Bungalow at check-in. cash preferred. It is a hospitality tax that goes directly
to Nevada City.

The Bungalow is on a quiet street yet just a short downhill walk into lively downtown Nevada City. The property is beautifully landscaped and there is a seasonal creek running just outside the Bungalow. There are numerous hiking, biking, and running trails within walking distance from the property. The amazing Yuba River is a short drive away.

Wonderful Cozy Bungalow
The bungalow is very clean and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the evening with our wine and pizza. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Its a easy 10 min walk to explore downtown. I do recommend this bungalow for your stay in Nevada City. :))

Lovely cottage and beautiful location.
The bungalow was lovely and well supplied with everything that we needed to have a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our host, Kathy, provided everything that we could possibly need and was very helpful in informing us of local attractions, and outdoor opportunities. Our stay was truly delightful and hopefully we will return soon.

Wonderful retreat with an easy walk to town
My husband and I enjoyed a short 2-night getaway at this lovely property. The bungalow is small but comfortable, packing all we could need in its cozy space. Kathy is a wonderful host and included special touches that made us feel especially welcomed! We enjoyed an easy and pleasant walk to the independent shops and restaurants of Nevada City under a clear blue sky on our first full day. On our final day, we greatly appreciated not having a list of chores to complete before leaving, elbowing us to hold on to our “vacation vibe” a little longer while a gentle snowfall turned Nevada City into a scene from a Christmas Card. We’d love to visit this property again!

The perfect respite
This sweet bungalow has everything one needs to feel cared for away from home. It’s so welcoming and charming and extremely easy to use as a base while exploring the Yuba river and the town of Nevada city . The owner is accommodating and available should you need anything. It truly is a slice of heaven & I look forward to visiting again.

A Return Visit
This is our 2nd time in the Bungalow, and we were just as pleased this time as our last. The cottage is adorable and spotlessly clean. We spent lots of time out on the patio enjoying the runaway sweet peas along the bank of the stream. We’d certainly stay here again!

Who is the property manager? Kathy or vrbo? If Kathy my rating is "excellent". Not so sure about vrbo. My rating above assumes it is vrbo and my rating reflects that.
