Great stay in the Foothills
Wonderful cozy place on the east side of Grass Valley - close to town, right by a trailhead for a great state park (Empire Mine), plus worked out well for the forestry workshop I attended in the area. Easy to check in, great living area, nice bed, great water pressure in the shower - plus a great setting with pines all around. Would definitely book this place again the nest time I am in that area

Beautiful Setting
What a beautiful and restful setting! I so enjoyed having my morning coffee in the garden watching the birds and listening to the soothing chimes. The weather was perfect, the unit is large and the entire property is welcoming!

Quiet retreat
This property is a secret jewel to relax, and recharge. Very comfortable for 2 adults. All amenities were available. The hot tub was enjoyable, and the landscaping beautiful with privacy. The location was across from Empire State Park. We toured while there..
Very nice

Perfect Oasis
The place is amazing, so comfy, relaxing, has such a great vibe. The owners are clearly very thoughtful and intentional with their home and offerings. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the space after a long day out in the sun. Owners were gone during our stay and had everything taken care of prior. 10/10 will come back should we visit GV again.

Beauty
Beautiful landscape Although we did not use the hot tub we intended to. We forgot our flip-flops but she has some ready for us along with bathrobes. They also had an umbrella for us to use in case of rain
They basically thought of everything and we enjoyed our stay
