About this property

Secluded & spacious house in Grass Valley. Great for family get aways.

For those who appreciate the finest in a rustic, western retreat, imagine staying at a sprawling 200-acre ranch featuring a tastefully decorated, custom-built house which comfortably sleeps up to 15 guests. This secluded country property in Grass Valley, CA, is 19 miles from Nevada City, & 13 miles from Auburn. The property features a private creek, swimming pond with rowboats and zip-line, hiking trail, stone patio with outdoor grill and fire pit, lighted tennis and basketball court, hot-tub, 2 donkeys, and 3 horses. The creek running through the property is a mile hike from the main house.

The 6000 square foot main house, built by custom woodworkers, has a floor to ceiling library in the great room with a stone fireplace and large wood table for group dinners. The main house sleeping accommodations include a bunkhouse with 4 bunkbeds, two twin beds and a queen bed, a bedroom, sofa bed, sleeping nook upstairs, and a screened sleeping porch that is lovely to sleep in the summer. Please note, the bunkhouse has a summer camp vibe for kids and to access the 2 twin beds and 4 bunk beds you must pass through the room with the queen bed.

The 600 square foot cottage is well appointed with walnut floors, hand plastered walls, marble and large bath with tub. Two additional 300 square foot bungalows overlook a picturesque valley. The bungalows are a short stroll from the swimming pond, hot tub and main house. Each bungalow contains a queen size bed, bath, and private deck.

Golf, skiing, rafting, hiking, and biking are just a few of the activities accessible by short car trip from the ranch. The property is conveniently close to the scenic Yuba and American Rivers.

Our caretaker lives on the property in a separate unit away from the main house and are on hand to ensure your stay is great.

Wonderful stay
Beautiful property. One of my favorite VBRO finds! Celebrated my moms 90th birthday. Place was perfect for us. Would come back again for sure! Communications with owners and onsite manager were excellent Only improvement I would make is to add another bathroom in the main house

Amazing Property with everything you need!
This was one of the best vacation properties I have had the pleasure of staying at. They literally have everything you need there like a fully decked out kitchen, fire wood, and even recreation supplies. I truly enjoyed my stay here and would book again. The property is amazing and the house/ cottages are big and decorated very nicely. I miss it already.

Family Christmas in Grass Valley
This place was beautiful, words cannot describe it. Communication with property management was great, the sunrise and sunsets were beautiful. Our hike to the stream was so much fun! The fishing pond and fire pit was so much fun! Too much to list, but we will definitely be coming back.

Amazing Anniversary Weekend for all
We just had the most wonderful reunion at this same house we had rented 10 years ago to stay at when we got married at Empire Mine. The house is even more amazing than we remembered. The property managers are the kindest sweetest hosts and we had the most beautiful stay. Everything was clean and easy and accessible. The grounds were just lovely. The kids enjoyed the vineyard and apple trees and going to see the horses and donkeys. The hike to the creek was beautiful and the zip line and trampoline and row boats as fun as ever. Thanks for the most wonderful weekend. We will cherish the memories until we can come back and do it all again!

Magical Engagement!
Pat & Kathleen were such gracious hosts! We had a large group for an engagement party! There is so much to do on this property! From fishing to basketball there’s something for everyone. Our group all couldn’t believe how magical the home and property are! The book shelf in the main house is the focal point of the home. The outdoors is where our guests mainly were for much of the day at the pond riding the zip line. If you are considering this place you must go! You won’t have an experience like this place elsewhere! We will be coming again based on the feedback we will be making this a yearly experience! Thanks so much!
