Well Appointed Private Stay

We loved this little guest house. It was beautifully furnished and had an amazing view out the back. We ate breakfast each morning on the very private back patio and enjoyed the expansive meadow view. Everything was clean, lovely, and worked well. We were very close to downtown Nevada City and several great swimming spots on the yuba (20 min drives). Hosts were super responsive and very friendly. We were delighted with our stay.

Beautiful house, great location

What I found is a beautiful little house tucked away in a hollow very close to downtown Nevada City. While there are other homes all around it, I was impressed by how quiet the place is at night. I like the place a lot, and plan to stay there again when I can spend more time.

Lovely Stay

My wife and I enjoyed the quiet and lovely qualities of the home. Outside of the house we saw California quail, finches, and jays. In addition, there was a lovely frog chorus every night. Beautiful and relaxing. We hope to visit again.

Lovely place in quiet woods

Honeycomb Ranch is a lovely small house in the woods just north of downtown Grass Valley. You can easily walk into town and enjoy the beautiful woods and old houses on your way into town. Even on a rainy day, the scenery is gorgeous from the back deck. Owners were friendly and the inside furnishings are new and very comfortable. Everything we needed in the kitchen and bath. Recommended!

Our Second Stay at the Snegg's Ranch

This is the second year that we stayed in Nina and Mike’s wonderful house in the Nevada City area. The secluded house is behind their home and has its own private patio deck which overlooks a beautiful green field with a surrounding forest. One day a doe and two fawns were grazing below the deck. The deck is a quiet and peaceful place to have morning coffee. The owners give you your privacy but are also there if you need help with the house or directions to the many places to visit in the area. Our favorite place to eat is the Northridge Restaurant which is a half mile walking distance from the house. They have good hamburgers and pizza. Outside of Nevada City and Grass Valley fine restaurants we found a 50s/60s style restaurant called “The Willo Steak House” that serves great steaks. We also found a beautiful historic trail next to the Yuba River to take a walk or a good hike. The “Independence Trail” takes you in the old mining canal and across rebuilt plumes. Also be sure to get Barley treats from Nina. Barley is their dog and he is a big part of their Ranch. My wife and I miss Barley and Nina and Mike.

A DEFINITE DO-AGAIN!

From the minute we opened the front door, we knew we were going to love it. Everything was so simple and immaculately clean. Skylights and walls placed strategically made everything pleasantly bright. The bathroom was roomy and the shower was as well. The beds were super comfortable, and the master offered a lovely view of the trees to wake up to. The deck was well maintained with a nice table and large umbrella. My sister and I enjoyed sitting out there in the afternoon having a glass of wine in the quiet and private surroundings. Nina is a most gracious host, and we were in want of nothing. Don’t hesitated on this one. You won’t be disappointed. We are definitely staying here again.

Beautiful, tranquil space

Perfect spot for a girlfriends getaway! This sweet little cottage has the feel of a remote, private treehouse, but you're less than a mile from town, and close to gorgeous hiking above the South Yuba River. We spent our evenings sipping wine and stargazing, and our days hiking and exploring Grass Valley and Nevada City. Nina was an amazing host. Don't forget to ask for a tour of Mike's Grass Roots Antique Tool museum, and the studio displaying his museum-quality wood bowls. Thank you for sharing this special place with us!

We were there during a record setting snow storm. Without power for two days. Mike & Nina & an employee of theirs, encouraged us,checked on us, started generator for us, dug our van out of like 18 inches of snow, shoveled walkway, and graded driveway, then led us out to the Freeway, making sure of our safety.
