The shower ceiling is on the low side!

Please note that we charge a 10% bed tax on our nightly rate (i.e. $14 for our standard $140 nightly fee). This is payable at the Bungalow at check-in. cash preferred. It is a hospitality tax that goes directly

The Bungalow is on a quiet street yet just a short downhill walk into lively downtown Nevada City. The property is beautifully landscaped and there is a seasonal creek running just outside the Bungalow. There are numerous hiking, biking, and running trails within walking distance from the property. The amazing Yuba River is a short drive away.

Perfect weekend getaway!

This bungalow was perfect for a weekend getaway. Kathy did an amazing job at providing a private, cozy, clean and lovingly put together bungalow with no detail left undone. From the fresh flowers and hand written note to the generous snacks and treats, it was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Nevada City stay

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at Kathy's bungalow. It was the perfect size for two people, with a full kitchen and lovely bedroom/bath. It is located on a nice quiet street with a tranquil creek next to it. It was a great "home base" while exploring Nevada City, Grass Valley, and the surrounding area. Kathy made us feel right at home and went out of her way to make sure everything was to our liking (thanks also to Brett for assisting with the amenities). We highly recommend Kathy's place when you are in the area and look forward to staying again in the future. Thanks!

A darling place at a great location

On a beautiful street with a burbling creek a few feet away and only a few minutes walk to downtown Nevada City. Our host Kathy gifted us a very tasty bottle of wine and some snacks and chocolates as well as fresh flowers. The property was very quiet. The shower ceiling is on the low side. I'm 6'1" and I bonked my head a few times when using it. We had friends visit and we all sat outside next to the creek. It was very clean and I recommend staying there!

Perfectly splendid!

This bungalow is so adorable and immaculate! It had everything we could possibly need and more. Kathy and Brett put so much thought into every detail. We were here for our 40th Anniversary and appreciated the short walk into town while the Victorian Christmas event was here.

Lovely little bungalow just minutes from town. Quiet and comfortable. Kathy had a beautiful welcome tray of snacks and my favorite wine stocked. Bathroom was well appointed with soaps, fresheners and lotions. Beautiful towels and robes. Fresh coffee to grind in the morning. I would definitely stay here again

Lovely cottage and beautiful location.

The bungalow was lovely and well supplied with everything that we needed to have a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our host, Kathy, provided everything that we could possibly need and was very helpful in informing us of local attractions, and outdoor opportunities. Our stay was truly delightful and hopefully we will return soon.

Delightful

The bungalow was exactly as described: quaint, clean and comfortable. It’s in a lovely green setting with a babbling brook just steps away. We were greeted with fresh flowers and goodies, including little juices, chocolates and a small bottle of Chardonnay. Kathy was very responsive when we requested a traditional coffee maker (we are French press challenged!). And the little town of Nevada City is adorable and so charming. Overall, an absolutely delightful experience. An enthusiastic 5-stars to Kathy and the bungalow!.
