Farewell Tour
Nevada City was one of the stops on our Farewell to California Tour. The cottage is a wonderful hub from which to explore/enjoy the Nevada City and Grass Valley communities. Ashley and Steve have built a cottage which has everything a couple might want for a weekend, or longer, getaway. We enjoyed the thoughtful design, quality materials and finishes, and the overall comfort, coziness and quiet of their cottage. A great place to stay!

A little slice of Heaven
for anyone that loves natural surroundings, piece and quiet, yet close to town. The cottage was spotless, excellently furnished and equipped, comfortable and cozy. So glad we were able to stay there!

About the host

Hosted by Steve and Ashley Blonstein

Host profile image
We're Steve and Ashley. We've lived in Nevada City since 2016. We run a large flying club in the San Francisco Bay Area. We built the cottage in 2016, and lived in it for two years while our main home was being constructed. We want to be able to share the cottage, property, and local area with you. We've settled here and would love for you to discover the magic of this area as well.

Why they chose this property

We've tried to make the cottage as welcoming as possible. Because it's basically new, you get the benefits that come with that newness. It's cozy but spacious at the same time. The surrounding property is tranquil with visiting deer and other wildlife. We're in a particularly good spot where there is essentially zero traffic noise - unusual in most of California.

What makes this property unique

Out in the woods but only 2 miles and 5 or 6 minutes to downtown Nevada City. We have a half mile walking trail around the property or you can step off the property and walk for miles without seeing a car for a long time.
