★THE PROPERTY★
At the end of a meandering drive the house will come into view, perched atop a wooded ravine and facing the mountains to the east. This 1960s property is owned by a professional landscaper and permaculturist, she has lovingly cared for the lush grounds, including an orchard of cherry, apricot, peach, pear, and apple trees. From May until October there’s often fresh fruit or vegetables for you to pick and enjoy. The tea garden off the main bedroom offers an incredible sensory experience. The entire 3.2 acre property is enveloped by mature forest, offering utter peace and tranquility and inviting you to take a deep breath, and explore.

It’s truly a nature-lover’s paradise. Deer visit regularly as well as foxes, raccoons, rabbits, and all manner of local wild birds.

NOTE: There are other dwellings on the property that may be occupied by the owner or her guests. You will have exclusive use of the entire house, and access to the grounds, garden, and pool may be shared.

★THE SPACE★
Enjoy your morning coffee by the pool and witness the sun peak over the mountains. Make family-style breakfast together in the well-appointed kitchen. Retreat to three relaxing bedrooms - the entertainment room has its own door and can serve as a 4th bedroom. The space can sleep 10 comfortably, so everyone has a restful night after a full day of exploring all the area has to offer. Or, break out the karaoke machine and sing the night away. Before bed, slip out to the poolside deck for the most breathtaking stargazing - well away from city lights, hustle, and bustle.

Senior Trip
Me and my friends went here to getaway from Rocklin. One of the coolest houses i’ve experienced. Had lots of fun going on hikes/trails, going into town. Overall, this house is perfect for big group events and would definitely rent this house again!

The house was setup great for the weekend for our family use while we got ready for a wedding. It was great place for everyone to hang out while others prepared the wedding venue.

Great Stay!
This is a great house for large groups in a beautiful and quiet location. We had 3 families with kids. Easy access to Yuba River and Nevada City. Pool was great to have on a hot day. Game room for kids kept them entertained and sitting out on the front patio in the mornings for coffee was lovely. We'll be back!
