INTERNATIONAL BACKWOODS SOUTH Spacious cottage
This is a comfortable, spacious and private cottage. I was able to relax, cook dinner, and sleep well. The decor is beautiful and there was a sweet little seasonal bouquet in a vase on the dining table to welcome me when I arrived. Hosts are responsive, accommodating and friendly. The WiFi was fast and reliable which was important for my work trip!

The Wild Plum
Cindy's place was exactly as described. We enjoyed checking out Placerville and surrounding areas then coming back to Cindy's to relax and unwind. A perfect getaway week!

Cozy Cottage on the Farm: the perfect getaway
Beautiful cottage in a lovely surrounding. Suzanne is an amazing host. She is very responsive and helping. House is beautifully decorated, so is the surrounding. Kitchen is nicely stocked. She offered to lend her saucers and sleds which the kids enjoyed a lot on the Tahoe snow! We missed the puzzle factory tour but the kids would love to visit it next time. All in all a beautiful stay and we would love to be back.

Auburn Couples Getaway Kids/Pets/Sunset/Spa
Serene & absolutely beautiful everywhere you look. Very Comfortable bed, quiet & so relaxing. Loved how remote, private & out in the country it is. And also close to downtown & stunning hikes to the rushing American River & waterfalls. A must see & visit. Steve was so helpful & responds right away to help. He let me borrow his kitchen oven to bake bread- so nice & welcoming.

Cozy cabin-like studio above freestanding garage
My wife and I had a gat stay. The apartment was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked as well as bathroom supplies. I would.definitely stay there again.

Near Rollins Lake, with full kitchen!
I loved staying at Kathryn’s place. Quiet location with peaceful surroundings. Loved the deck out back. My 6 y/o loved listening to the frogs out by the pond at night. Location was perfect. A short drive to Nevada City or downtown Grass Valley. Colfax is close too. Will definitely stay again!

Cottage Pool House, Large Balcony, Separate Unit
Loved my stay. Beautiful place inside and out!

Zen Nature Hermitage
Exquisite and serene! The hermitage was exactly what I was hoping for... a quite place in nature to unwind. I went in the winter and even though it was storming outside it was so cozy and warm inside. There was space to practice yoga, to sit and read, write and draw, as well as be surrounded by peaceful, healing energy. This is especially great for artists who want to be in an inspiring space to write, paint, or connect with their muse without distractions. The meals that Hiroko made were so nourishing - I loved all the different flavors and fresh ingredients. If you have a chance to have a tea ceremony with MJ or a massage with Hiroko, I highly recommend it! The Jade Valley Zen Nature Hermitage is a true gem for anyone wanting to unplug from technology and into the ancient wisdom of nature.

Mid-Century Retreat
We had a lovely time here! It was clean and comfy and Stella the cat was very cute.

Emerald Mountain Art Farm Suite
Great spot in the forest to enjoy peaceful surroundings. The frogs in the background were nice to enjoy from the deck. The interior is well appointed with fully stocked kitchen, a queen bed and chair that converts to bed.

Garden Cottage-Organic Sheets Tempur-Pedic Bed
Stayed here for a few nights & it’s was great! The place was super cozy & quiet. Everything was listed accordingly & was perfect for a couple. Definitely will be coming back here! (:

Cozy cottage, 10 Minutes to Downtown Grass Valley!
It was a a very nice, peaceful and clean home. New plush linens. Responsive host! About 10 minutes from dining and grocery store. Washer and dryer was a huge plus! Downtown is quaint as was Nevada City. Recliners were comfortable. It does have a workspace with USB and plugs that doubles as a breakfast bar. It does have a privacy entrance gate which must be manually opened and closed. Easy for a couple. The bed was large but on the soft side if that matters. One of the best we’ve stayed at in terms of space, privacy, and amenities. We’d stay again.

Peaceful retreat in the forest
Beautiful, yet very affordable, mountain retreat. Amazing large area for our pupper to run around and explore in. Hot tub was amazing. Definitely a steal for the price!

Nevada City Sweet Spot
Very simple but well furnished place. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Grass Valley and Nevada City have a small town feel with unlimited hiking and outdoor activities.

Bright, clean studio
I came to this place leaving a toxic relationship. And I just recently achieved 30 days sobriety. I tell you just because maybe someone out there is like me and needs some help. Once I walked into the room, I was just checking back by how peaceful it was and the vibration was all about healing. Joy was nothing short of amazing as far as communication. It turns out she’s a holistic therapist as well. Her husband was a cool guy and her son was friendly too. And their dog is rad just a cool dog and my dog Scarlet and he played together for a little bit and it was cool. I really needed this place and I look forward to staying here again when I need to just go somewhere decompress I would recommend a spot to anybody. And if you like books, there’s so many books to read I mean it’s awesome and I’ve been a great job of building out the room to look amazing and feel amazing. Don’t hesitate to grab this up if you need to.

Quiet Studio Near Downtown
Needed a place in familiar neighborhood, close to town but quieter. Jessica’s place had it. Tranquil room and furnishings decluttered my mind. Very modern with all necessities I needed. Comfortable bed, couch and spacious. I usually watch TV but I enjoyed the quiet a lot. Enjoyed taking daily walks too. Thanks Jessica. Would definitely stay again.

Peaceful private getaway with a view! Spa access!
I had the most wonderful stay at this charming mountain Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, the cozy cabin felt like a home away from home. A peaceful spot with breathtaking views, it was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. Sean the host is very chill, friendly, and down-to-earth, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Along side with his friendly dogs. The mountain views were breathtaking, and I couldn’t have asked for a better spot to unwind. I can’t wait to come back!

Gold Country Guest House
Lorrie’s place exceeded all of our expectations! It was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and every detail was clearly thought out with the guests in mind. From the comfortable furnishings to the little touches that made our stay extra special, it was clear how much care and effort went into creating such a welcoming space. We felt completely at ease and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and would love to stay here again. Thank you for an unforgettable experience, Lorrie & Eric! Let me know if you’d like further edits!

Downtown Nevada City Bungalow
This was one of the most comfortable and pleasant Airbnb properties we’ve ever stayed in, and I would definitely return! Everything was tastefully perfect—location, amenities, decor and the opportunity to bring our little dog with us. Thank you very much, Tracy and Zach!

The Grateful Cottage, Gold Country Spring 15% Off
Great cottage for a peaceful vacation. It is right in the middle of the natur. Cottage itself was nice and cozy with all the basic amenities, me and my family really enjoyed it. Heidi was communicative throughout the stay. We will definitely visit again in the summer

Quiet Home in the Woods
David’s place was great! It looked just like the photos and was actually larger than I expected. It was super comfortable and set in the forest. David was very nice and I enjoyed meeting him and one of the dogs. The location was perfect for what I wanted. I’m originally from the area and it was nice to come back to visit friends and enjoy favorite spots (like the Yuba River!). I’ll definitely book again when I come up.

Yuba River Retreat Cottage
This cabin is such a peaceful getaway. It sits at the top of a hill, and although the property owners are in a nearby home, it was almost like they weren't there. If you want to get away from people and crowds and the city, this is the spot. The host was very responsive and helpful. All in all, a positive experience, and we wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Quiet and peaceful setting in Nevada City
Our stay at this charming home was nothing short of magical! Nestled in the heart of Nevada City, this place exudes warmth, comfort, and character. Every corner of the home tells a story, with thoughtfully curated details and cozy spaces that make you feel instantly at ease. The serene surroundings offered a peaceful retreat, allowing us to recharge while being just a stone’s throw from all the wonderful attractions of this beautiful town. Barbara's hospitality was exceptional, making sure we had everything we needed and more. We couldn't have asked for a better spot to relax and explore the stunning natural beauty of Nevada City. Whether you're seeking a quiet getaway or an adventure-filled escape, this is truly a place to cherish. We can’t wait to return! Thanks a lot Barbara ;)

The Diggins
Richard and Julie's place was perfect for our 3 person family (myself, my partner and our 14 year old). The living room gets such lovely light. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was easy to figure out where to find things and how to use all the appliances. It's a convenient location for getting to Nevada City and Grass Valley, and in a lovely spot. What really stood out was the attention to details (curated records, La Croix in the fridge, etc.) and generous checkout time (3:00!) which unfortunately we were not able to take advantage of, but we still appreciated. Most places make you do a lot more cleaning (despite paying a cleaning fee) but Richard and Julie only expect the basics. Having to do a lot of cleaning and get out of a place by 11:00 a.m. always kills my vacation vibe! Finally, I wasn't sure how we'd feel about being on the owners' property, but they were a perfect combination of being available and approachable, while also giving us our privacy. Thanks R & J!
