About this property
Adorable Two-Person Bungalow in Downtown Nevada City
An adorable and private cottage in downtown Nevada City - just a few minutes walk to the shops, galleries, cafes, bars, restaurants, and events of the charming and historic Nevada City. The Downtown Bungalow features a bedroom with a queen memory foam bed, flat screen HD TV, closet and chair. The bathroom includes organic shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion, plus a hairdryer and luxurious towels. The kitchen has a full set up including a coffee cone, coffee press, coffee grinder, juicer and all the appliances, pans, and dishes you need for your stay (a regular 12-cup coffeemaker is available by request.) A gas grill is on the patio. There is a dining area and lovely outdoor patio under a pergola for your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. We provide French coffee beans, tea, and sparkling water (+treats!) The Bungalow is a separate building on our property, with owner interaction at a minimum. There is private parking for one car. There is heat and AC (during warm months only) in the Bungalow, + a ceiling fan. Please note that the Bungalow is a small granny unit, appropriate for one person or a couple. The shower ceiling is on the low side!
Please note that we charge the City Bed Tax on our nightly rate + cleaning fee ($15-$16/night). This is payable at the Bungalow at check-in because VRBO does not automatically collect it from you. Cash preferred. It is a hospitality tax that goes directly to Nevada City.
The Bungalow is on a quiet street yet just a short downhill walk into lively downtown Nevada City. The property is beautifully landscaped and there is a seasonal creek running just outside the Bungalow. There are numerous hiking, biking, and running trails within walking distance from the property. The amazing Yuba River is a short drive away.

Lovely, quiet, close enough to town to walk though it has some hills, but beautiful neighborhood. Nevada City is an interesting little town with much to offer. The Bungalow is perfect.
This was a wonderful place to stay! During stormy weather the bungalow was wonderfully warm and cozy. Our host was perfect, communicative without being intrusive at all. I appreciated the use of low scent cleaners and absense of heavy perfumes!
This is quaint and absolutely charming little house. It had everything I needed and more. The location was an easy walk to downtown. Kathy was an amazing host!
Sweet, bright, quiet and comfortable; the perfect spot for a quick get-away to the beautiful Nevada City, especially for nature lovers. I loved the small kitchen, outdoor patio, sounds of the creek, wind chimes and birds. The bed was very comfortable. The whole unit was very well designed and arranged, with so many thoughtful extra touches, including multiple ways to make coffee, nice teas, and treats! I loved the extra light provided by the skylight over the bed and also appreciated that is has a shade that can be closed at night for a darker morning.The walk from the unit to downtown was pleasant and easy, especially during the daytime.Highly recommended!

Fabulous little gem in Nevada City!
Very comfortable and well-appointed little rental near downtown Nevada City...but not TOO near. It was quiet and lovely...would stay there again.
Charming place, walking distance to downtown Nevada City
Loved all the amenities, the snug little cottage, the multiple ways to make coffee, the thoughtful treats, the sweet surroundings, and the helpful hosts!
Bungalow was perfect for 2 people, very clean, thoughtfully put together. Walking distance to historic downtown. Located in quiet neighborhood, great stay!
Wanted to stay in idyllic Nevada City for a couple nights. The bungalow was a few minutes walk from downtown, clean, and the owners were kind and easy to communicate with.
Well kept quiet neighborhood very walkable to town. Cathy, our host was very nice and was there for anything needed. The b&b was very nice, clean and well supplied. Would recommend to all.
The bungalow was lovely and well supplied with everything that we needed to have a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our host, Kathy, provided everything that we could possibly need and was very helpful in informing us of local attractions, and outdoor opportunities. Our stay was truly delightful and hopefully we will return soon.
