This spacious and well-appointed cabin was the perfect home base for our yearly Yuba getaway for three! The home had everything we needed, included a fully stocked kitchen. The surroundings were peaceful and beautiful, and my dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard as well.

The cabin is charming and very clean. We were very comfortable there. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. We enjoyed the beautiful front porch. Little traffic so walking our dog was easy plus there is a nice canal trail behind the house

Serene and clean and close to town

Thank you, we enjoyed our weekend stay in the cabin. It was exactly as posted. A newer cozy cabin that was clean and in a nice and quiet location with a short drive to town. I’d recommend it to friends and would stay there again.

Cute for a couples getaway

We had a pleasant stay at this property. The property manager was very responsive, which was great since we lost power after dark and thankfully were able to find a couple battery lights to help. I would definitely stay again.

This house was great for our stay. The finishes were completely updated. Its in the trees which we loved. The living room was a little small for the 4 of us to watch a movie, but we made it work.

Great host

While I had this cabin booked for me and my dogs, one got sick and I wasn’t able to make the trip. Robert was extremely understanding and had great communication. He offered to refund the cleaning and dog deposit along with a free night when I rebook. Omgosh I was blown away, what a host! I will be rebooking this property in the near future.

Cabin in Nevada City

The cabin was clean, convenient to town and fairly quiet. There is a walking trail behind the property. There is a nice porch to sit outside with rocking chairs.It was fully equipped with utensils, tea, coffee maker and snacks. The TV only had basic channels. There were no closets in the bedrooms. The yard is too overgrown to sit but there is a nice small bbq to grill. Overall, it was excellent and we enjoyed our 10 day stay very very much.

Beautiful location & home!!

The place is very relaxing. Kitchen was fully stocked, pots, pans, etc. The nights were so peaceful and quiet. Fishing just a little ways down the road. The town down the street was awesome! If you need to get away from all the stress of city this is the place. Owner was very responsive and welcoming. First time on Vrbo and it was a great experience.

We'd come here again, what more can you know?

It was in a lovely quiet wooded setting. It was totally clean and with all the accoutrements we needed: coffee pot and coffee, sugar,etc. oil for cooking, spices. Comfortable beds with lots of pillows, and even baggies for our dog (though we brought our own). The air conditioners were great in the 90+ weather. We will happily seek it out again when we come to this area.

Enjoyable

Easy to find. Perfect for two couples, one who cannot use stairs so the downstairs bedroom was great. Very much enjoyed the veranda and sitting outside in the early morning and evenings. One suggestion: perhaps a kitchen dishtowel would be helpful.

A short stay

The property was clean and the grounds are nice. However the house stayed pretty cold. They could not get it up to a comfortable temperature. it was cold outdoors, and the house would not heat up much. Our son, who lived in Nevada City for a long time said the house needs more than jus the two small units for the winter months.
