They took it over the top with all the little things they provided to make you feel at home. Made us feel like kids in a candy store with all the yummy goodies. Very clean and comfortable loved hanging out on the front porch and enjoying all the wild life and humming birds. Thank you for making my husband birthday a memorable one. We will definitely will go back for another enjoyable visit.

Golden Experience in Gold Country

We felt fortunate to find this spot on our visit to see friends in Grass Valley. Great location for exploring the area. Enjoyed observing hummingbirds at the porch feeder, especially when they perched in the mature redwood in the front yard. We would choose this property when we visit again.

This quaint little cottage under the pines/first? was exactly what I needed for a three-day getaway from Sac...just slept in, read, cooked, and watched movies with my pups and a friend. Everything was impeccable, cleanly to a fault, and utterly gorgeous and adorable. I enjoyed cooking gourmet Italian food and breakfasts in the amazing kitchen (nice gas range!). I really loved the color theming throughout, as navy and butter-yellow are two of my favorite colors. Matthew is very responsive to guests' messages, too, which is always appreciated. I'm in love with this place and will definitely be back!

Quartz Cottage

The best Vrbo stay! The place was decorated very nice. The antiques in the place was a perfect touch. The owner provided snacks, Coffee & Tea. Matthew communicated with us very quickly on our inquiry. Place was spotless! Who ever cleans for the owner did an amazing job. You would be very comfortable staying here. The outside seating and fireplace table were a nice touch for sitting out.

Excellent Cottage

This is the nicest cottage we have ever had the pleasure to stay in. We've spent many vacations in various cabins and cottages in the Sierra and north coast over the years and this is the best, bar none! Obviously it has been totally redone inside so it is super clean and well equipped.

Visit with Family in Grass Balley

Wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. Perfect yard for my dog. Other than the beds being a bit uncomfortable, the cottage was perfect. Grass Valley being a small tight knit community, my sister Vivian Tipton, knows the owners! 😊🌻😊

Perfect 4 Two + dog

This is our second time staying at Quartz Cottage. It's just big enough for my wife and I plus our Labradoodle. With my wife having to use a walker all the time there's just enough room for her to maneuver inside and only a single step to get outside. And the fenced in yard is a plus for letting the dog outside. We can visit friends in the area without imposing on them for a bed. We will be back.

Cute place. Convenient and quiet.

Stayed while at the Carving retreat like others. Two of us. The second bed is a pull out in a bedroom but same comfort as other bed. Lots of snacks, coffee and essentials for a stay. Didn’t cook, but all the stuff is there. If you are there in winter, turn on your heaters in the room. That’s your heat.

Why they chose this property

Great location, walking distance to the Fairgrounds, Downtown and Condon Park. The park has a disk golf course, a nice amount of trails and a dog park. You have the whole house with fenced in yard. It is a great place to cook full meals or use as your home base to enjoy all the dining Nevada County has to offer.
