Stunning round house view waterfall spa & cottage

YanaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My friends and I loved this Airbnb!! The place was fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and it was exactly as amazing as it looked in the photos. It is a great space for large groups and gatherings. The host May was very responsive and so kind! The property is beautiful and it was very fun to be able to hang out by the waterfall. I highly recommend this Airbnb!

Ski, relax, rejuvenate-The Little River Hideaway

AngelaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
I have stayed at a lot of places and this is one of my top favorites. Everything about our stay was perfect. The house was stunning the pictures don’t do it justice. The outside space was beautiful and so peaceful! The golf and disc golf became one of our favorite things to do. Lashaun has thought of everything down to the tiniest details. We are already planning our next stay! Thank you Lashaun and Eric

Beautiful Downtown Home

JaneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Beautiful home, impeccably decorated. Perfect location to visit Victorian Christmas. Host extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. As mentioned in other reviews, and not repeated here, there are old house quirks, most notably the need for quick or cold showers. We would definitely stay again if we get lucky enough with availability which says it all!

Hidden resort - luxury near town

JesseRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We had such a wonderful stay at Clare's home. The hosue is comfortable and the pool was perfect for beating the summer heat! The door to the pool is off the family rooom area but it is easily closable for keeping young kids away from teh pool if needed. The house is tastefully decorated with some homey additions like books and toys. We found it difficult to choose where to sit-- outside on the front porch or our by the pool lounge area. Although the house is not close enough to town to walk the location is very central and wooded. The view out the back is really wonderful. This is a great place for a family or anyone looking for an authentic Nevada City stay. Highly recommend!

Apple Hill Farmstead Cottage: Waterfront & Hot Tub

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The Apple Hill Cottage left quite the impression- from the cozy, clean, and idyllic setup of the cottage to the natural beauty of the area, and Cara’s absolutely wonderful hospitality- my stay here was beyond joyful. Cara and Barry are excellent hosts- gracious, generous, thoughtful in the details, available for assistance yet respectful of privacy. Camino & Placerville are quaint towns with wineries & orchards, a good stop between Tahoe & Sacramento/Bay Area. Snuggle up with a blanket by the fire with some hot cocoa or cider and soak in the splendor of Camino Cottage!

Lake retreat Nevada city cabin

CarsonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Garrett's cabin was amazing for our stay. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was great—so soothing and the perfect way to unwind in the morning and evening. The beds were comfortable, ensuring we all got a great night's sleep. It was just the right amount of space for me and my guests, with an open setting that made it feel cozy yet spacious. The kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use for cooking meals together, and having a washer and dryer on-site was a great convenience. Highly recommend Garrett's cabin for a peaceful and enjoyable retreat. We can't wait to come back.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods, Private Hot Tub

JackRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Literally the perfect cozy cabin in the woods. Hot tub is private and mere steps away from the front door. The heater + ceiling fan evenly distributes the warmth even in the winter. Would happily return on a future date.

2 houses centrally located-Great for large groups

RobRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Jess’ place was both incredibly well designed and cozy at the same time. It was immaculately clean, had a well stocked kitchen and was a perfect distance to the main drag in town. In addition, Jess was the most responsive and flexible host - answering all our many questions and asks for local recommendations (we were staying with a big family and kids over Christmas). Would 100% stay here again!

Escape to the Woods! Lux & Fun

YuRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great stay! The place was very clean, and the beds were super comfortable. The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful. We noticed that the microwave, baby chair, and crib were missing when we arrived, but after reaching out, they promptly delivered them. We really appreciated how quickly they addressed our needs. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’d happily stay here again!

We had a great stay! The backyard was definitely the highlight. Our one year old had the best time playing in the pool and running around the massive lawn. Home was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed! Thanks, Brian!
