Inviting, warm, cozy 💛

Keri was so welcoming and generous with her space. Felt at home and was cozy to come in from the cold to a warm inviting space. The kitchen is fully stocked which is so helpful. The backyard is a dream. Such a sweet spot, loved it!

Great family vacation spot

We had a wonderful time despite terrible weather. We enjoyed exploring the property and nearby towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City! We hope to visit again when the weather is more amenable to being outside!

Fabulous place to stay

We had a wonderful time and have never stayed in such a well equipped house before. The kitchen had everything, plenty of inside and outside games, a raft for floating on the pond, plus a hilarious zip line. The owners are amazingly generous with what they offer and it’s obviously been a much loved home in their family. The caretaker was kind and informative which we appreciated. It’s a gorgeous setting and if we are renting in the area again, we will certainly try to stay here. Beautiful house and grounds.

Beautiful setting and great people

The home and grass and pond are absolutely wonderful. My film partners and I (and my dog) were truly enchanted with the place and the people. We were warmly welcomed and cared for, and I hope to visit again soon! There is some road noise; the master bedroom is the quietest of the bedrooms, and also has the best ventilation. Really a great experience to stay there; the Nevada City area is very special to begin with, this is a wonderful, special place in Nevada City. Great place, great family that owns the place. great experience.

Dreamy!

We had an amazingly relaxing and dreamy stay at this home. The grounds are beautiful. My kids and dog felt like they dropped in to a Tom Sawyer novel while floating on a raft across the pond. The blackberries where divine. The front porch I had to convince myself to leave and remember that I had a family event to attend. The kitchen had everything a person would need to host a gathering plus it was all soo easy to find. I took notes on the placement and supplies it was soo easy to use. The host was easy to commuicate with and the caretaker helpful.

Beautiful setting and fun shopping!

We came to stay here on our girlfriends' trip, and this was a great house with a nice area to sit outside with a view of the pond, trees, and swing. There was 3 bedrooms so we each had our own bedroom. We enjoyed the variety of coffee's with the Naspresso machine and also the wide variety of teas that were provided. A very nice touch! It was a short ride to downtown Grass Valley where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast/lunch at Toffenelli's. We walked around all the cute stores and bought a nice variety of sweaters, beautiful scarfs, unique items etc. Overall, a really nice getaway spot if you like to be in a beautiful setting and close to fun shopping. The hosts were very gracious and attentive. Great communication. Thank you!

Amazing retreat to relaxation!

We had an amazing stay! The kids loved the swing and playing in the yard while we relaxed on the back porch. We came to get away from the usual busy routine. It was exactly what we were looking for to relax. They had tons of board games for the kids, nature outside, and just a quick drive to south yuba river or grass valley for wine tasting and shopping. The aunt on the property was very kind and brought us amazing fresh fruit from the garden. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The perfect combo of updated fresh amenities without losing the character and charm in the home. The house had everything we needed and was a very comfortable stay. We were all very sad to leave.

Froggy Pond Joy and Laughter!

If you have the opportunity to rent this home- BOOK IT NOW! Our sweet family returned to Nevada City, where our children grew up; it was most delightful. We love to cook, play games, enjoy the river, and treasure the time on the lawn visiting and rafting the pond! The hosts were kind; they created a most joyful and comfortable space! We are grateful for their hospitality, privacy and environment to be present with the loves of our life under a warm and inviting rooftop of trees and home. Thank you!

Over the river and through the woods...

This country charmer was a wonderful getaway for my husband and I. The lush property was a gorgeous backdrop to our escape from the world and would be tons of fun for kids or your dog to romp around on. I even joked to my husband that the rental would be perfect if they rented a dog out to go with it LOL. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen was fabulous, and there is plenty of room for the whole family. On top of all of that, the owner seems like a genuinely nice person and was very easy to communicate with throughout the process. We will definitely consider renting here again .

Home is Wonderful!

My Husband, Grandson, and I visited Grass Valley and came for the Celtic Festival. We stayed at this home and very much enjoyed it. We love the beautiful dining room table. We were able to really spread out and play risk with our Grandson. We also loved the propane fireplace. It kept us very warm. My Husband used the grill and that worked out great. The kitchen is very well stocked. We also loved the Nespresso coffee maker and the pods provided. We had never used one before but now we plan to buy one. We would like to thank the owners for sharing their house with us. We hope to visit again one day.

An absolute gem!

Keri is a spectacular host - open communication with us prior to and during our stay; quick to respond; and an overall gracious host. For those of you considering a getaway in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area, look no further than Froggy Pond. I highly recommend this property for families with small children - unplug your devices (parents & children) and soak in the grounds and all it has to offer! Our 8-yr old son had a blast on the raft in the pond - what a pleasant surprise. We relaxed in the hammock (my favorite) looking up at the majestic pines and admiring the sky at all hours. The patio area is great for enjoying your morning cup of coffee or reading a book or, in our case, to doing some painting. For those of you who enjoy cooking, Keri's kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need (I mean everything!) to prepare the simplest of meals or more involved gourmet dishes! My son asked, "Dad, next time we come to Nevada City, can we stay here?" Answer: A DEFINITE YES!!! Thank you, Keri, again for making our stay a memorable one.

One Incredible Vacation Home

My husband and I took our 13 and 15 year-old grandchildren to this lovely home for a week. First, it's a home for all seasons. We were there in mid June but would love it in the fall, winter or spring. The home is well designed so different ages had their own space. While the kids slept in, we enjoyed our coffee in the little sitting area off the kitchen. When awake the kids were often found fishing at the lake and phones were put on the back burner. Our 13 year-old commented on how quiet it was and he lives in a pretty quiet neighborhood. Uninterrupted sleep is almost guaranteed or at least we found it so. We've rented vacation homes for a number of years, but we've never had one that was so well equipped. They had everything we needed in the kitchen and more. Think a Kitchenaid mixer! The VRBO pictures do not do justice to how beautiful the home and lake area are. I can see a special event being held here. The multi-level deck was beyond lovely. Another great point is it's a single-level home with easy access to the deck and beyond. The owner and care taker were always available if we had a question. Bring groceries because once there you won't want to leave!

Thanksgiving family reunion

Awesome place to host a Thanksgiving family reunion for 16. Absolutely no issues, plenty plus more of everything needed. We brought things we didn't end up needing. When we are back in Grass Valley we will be renting again!

Effortless Enjoyable

Such a great spot. It is obvious that this is a well loved home that the hosts are kind enough to share openly, and not a place where all the good stuff is locked away. We stayed for Thanksgiving and it was more enjoyable than challenging to put together a feast in this kitchen. It was larger and at least as well equipped as our own. Our kids were endlessly entertained by the lovely grounds, the games, and a well tuned piano and guitar. Solid relaxing times!

What a perfect winter stay! The home was so well stocked for cooking and enjoying cozy time with tea inside. The property was perfect for our families and 4 kids to have a ton of outside fun. Keri was so responsive and helpful as well. We are hoping to come back this summer!

Family Fun at Froggy Pond

My mother, sisters and I stayed at this most family friendly home; it felt like our own. The kitchen was the best equipped we have ever encountered. The property was beautiful and flower laden. The large porch decking area was perfect for having our brothers join us for lunch in the sun.
