Lux, creekfront 8-acre retreat with hot tub

The best vacation rental in Nevada City!

Creekfront designer cabin on 8 acres with hot tub. The private creek is year-round and perfect for dipping on a hot day. There is a large fire pit, horseshoes, and a hammock by the creek. Seclusion and quietude in nature yet 4 minutes to downtown Nevada City, 15 min to rivers & lakes, and 45 min to ski resorts. This is the place for people who are tired of rentals that lack amenities or aesthetic quality. This is also a non-toxic, eco-friendly sanctuary.

Newly remodeled and expertly designed home.

There are four bedrooms in the main house and an optional separate studio to rent. The main house has two bedrooms with king beds, one bedroom with a twin bed and a twin air mattress (if needed), and an enclosed den with a queen murphy bed. This allows 8 people to sleep comfortably. There are 3 bathrooms, one with a lux freestanding soaking tub with forest views.

For 9-11 guests, or if you just want extra space for a smaller party, you can rent the separate studio for $125/night plus $99 cleaning fee. This is discounted from our regular rates of $210 for 3 people and $188 for 2 people, and our regular cleaning rate of $140. The studio is beautifully renovated with a queen bed, full kitchen, bathroom, and living area with sofa for a child or young adult to sleep on. To rent the studio, visit my VRBO profile to see my other listings and check its calendar availability (or just send me a message and I'll check for you!). Then, when you book this house you can send me a follow-up message that you'd like to rent the studio as well.

The main house kitchen is fully equipped-- this is not like other rentals that lack wine glasses or cooking pans! We have a Ninja blender, instant pot/slow cooker, toaster, French press coffee maker, coffee grinder, lots of dishes and utensils, state of the art drinking water filtration system, gas oven and stove, baking dishes and pans, and more. You'll also be provided with organic cooking oil and organic spices.

The owner specializes in non-toxic home design so everything from the mattresses and bedding to the soap & shampoo are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and/or organic.

You have complete reign of the 8 acre property, including the hot tub, and private creekfront park with gazebo, fire pit, and horseshoe pit. Sometimes we rent out a studio on the property (or you can rent it-- see details above), but studio guests do not have access to acres of the property that are just for you, so the hot tub, fire pit, gazebo, horse shoe pit, and more is yours. If you want total privacy, we can block out the studio from being rented for an additional $75/night, or you can rent it for $125/night plus $99 cleaning fee (see details above).

Pack and play, twin air bed, and dining table booster seat with tray are available! Please just request them before you arrive, and bring your own sheet for the pack and play. Air bed is usually needed if 8 guests are staying in the main home (if studio is not rented).

It can snow in Nevada City in the winter (beginning in December or January and through March). If staying here when it snows, you will need snow chains and/or a 4WD vehicle to access the home.

No parties or events, and please ask if you want to invite anyone to the home who is not in the guest count at booking.

We love dogs and do not discriminate against breeds! Please just confirm at time of booking that your pup will not go to the bathroom in the house or chew any items in the house.

Beautiful property
This is one of our all-time favorites! The house is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of private spaces (indoor and outdoor) for each sleeping area. The property itself, though, is what makes this place really special. It is extremely private with multiple walking trails and strategically placed seating areas. Despite the remote feel, it's only a very short, easy drive into town. We enjoyed this place so much that we are already thinking about a return trip. Highly recommended!

A Wonderful Retreat!
This property is less than 5 min away from Nevada City but it entirely remote. However it will be difficult to locate and arrive at the properly without cellphone navigation. There are multiple country roads in the area with a lack of proper identification, and following a map will not be enough help to navigate without getting lost. This caveat should be mentioned in the property description.

Amazing slice of heaven!
We just spent a week here and we didn't want to leave! The property was everything we were looking for to get away, spend time together as a family, and so much more! It is quite a hike down to the creek, but that didn't stop us for spending most of our time there. It's very secluded from neighbors and feels like your very own forest. We let our dog play off leash, chasing a ball to his heart's content, had a campfire, relaxed and explored the property. The view from the cabin is breathtaking. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the baby gates so we could keep our dog corralled. We were able to get Instacart and Doordash delivered which made things even easier for us, and allowed us to spend more time together. We did go in to town once to have lunch at Three Forks, but it was extremely busy and difficult to find parking (and the bees/flies were unbearable to sit outside and eat with our dog). We didn't venture out again after that, which was fine by us since there was so much to do at this property. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful place and area
The property is very comfortable and with the stream and horseshoes near the stream it is an enjoyable area to spend the day. The property has everything you need to relax and getaway from it all.

Wonderful Stay!!! Rejuvenating Atmosphere 10+
My Husband & I loved this property!!! We were impressed by the private driveway, complete privacy, beautiful home & gorgeous property! We were minutes from downtown Nevada City, yet felt miles away. We loved the quality built home, large windows, views, deck, spa, walking trails, gently flowing river, horseshoe pits, gazebo and the several areas to sit and take it all in and enjoy! Every direction you looked was beautiful!!!The home has a large family room, dinning area, well appointed kitchen and very comfortable bedding and bed. If you are looking for a restful retreat as a couple, family or friends you won't be disappointed! The pictures are nice but they don't really do the property justice. For us this home was a 10.Our only regret was having to pull away and leave this peaceful mountain home!

Spectacular
This property was everything we wanted for a quick getaway. Secluded in the middle of the woods, next to the creek, you really feel like nothing else exists outside of this area. The house was very clean & equipped with everything we needed for cooking. Emily was super easy to communicate with and helpful with all of my requests. Easy check in & out. Will definitely come back!

Private with Deer Creek access
Amazing property. House is clean and well appointed. Everything we needed to cook. Five minutes to Nevada City but completely private with no visible neighbors. Brand new hot tub. Property includes your own private piece of Deer Creek. Super easy communication with Emily. This is a place we will visit again.
