About this house rental

Welcome to our peaceful retreat in the heart of downtown Grass Valley! This beautifully restored 1865 Craftsman bungalow blends historic character with modern comfort, offering airy, skylit rooms, curated textures, and lush garden spaces. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a bonus room, the home provides a boutique‑level stay just steps from the Center for the Arts, cafés, tasting rooms, breweries, shops, and the charm of historic Main and Mill Streets. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, a creative escape, outdoor trail and river adventures, or a quiet place to unwind, the home invites you to slow down and enjoy the beauty of the Sierra foothills.

Inside, natural light fills the living spaces, highlighting warm wood details and thoughtful design. The living room offers soft sectional seating, a smart TV, and high‑speed WiFi, creating a calm place to relax or work. A cozy bonus room overlooks the garden and provides a quiet spot to read or recharge. Both bedrooms feature queen beds with organic linens, ceiling fans, and calming décor. The primary bedroom includes an en‑suite bathroom with a step‑in shower and double vanity, while the secondary bedroom opens to a private outdoor seating area.

The kitchen and dining room overlook the garden and white picket fence. The kitchen is fully equipped with a French‑door refrigerator, gas cooktop and oven, dishwasher, deep-basin sink, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, tea kettle, and all essential cookware and tools. A dining room with seating for six and a built‑in bar nook makes meals feel special.

Both bathrooms have been refreshed with modern finishes while preserving the home’s timeless charm. The guest bath offers a spa‑like feel with a massage‑spray shower head and plush organic towels.

For convenience, the home includes a washer and dryer with detergent, an iron and ironing board, heating and air conditioning, and ceiling fans in both bedrooms and the living room. For peace of mind, exterior Ring cameras monitor the front door and the back patio entrance, and safety essentials, such as a fire extinguisher and first‑aid kit, are provided. No interior cameras are present.

Outside, the home is surrounded by lush, flower‑filled gardens within a gated courtyard. Multiple seating areas—including a front patio, bistro dining, and a private café table—create peaceful spaces to enjoy morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The neighborhood is quiet, walkable, and lined with mature trees and historic homes.

Off-street parking is available, with space for up to two vehicles in the driveway and free street parking along the picket‑fence side of the home. The location is one of the property’s greatest advantages—just steps from everyday essentials (grocer, post office, services, health and wellness providers) and downtown attractions. Public transit is accessible with routes to Nevada City and a new Yuba River shuttle this summer too!

We know you'll enjoy our private retreat just as much as we do. It's a truly special place.

Great location and house, wish my stay was longer but was able to enjoy every minute!

This stay worked out perfectly for us, especially considering how availability in the area was scarce due to the 4th of July holiday. Given the hot summer weather, the A/C and fans were so nice and we slept comfortably at night. We stayed with our toddler and, while the house isn't baby proofed per se, it was actually quite safe (and spacious) for him to run around. The kitchen had ample supplies, most of which were brand new. And the washer/dryer was a godsend. So much natural light throughout the place. I liked the exterior touches too; the large tree in the front yard made it feel more protected and private. Walking distance from downtown coffee shops and the holiday happenings (if only the parade had been in town this year!). Truly a diamond of a stay, with everything we needed. I honestly can't think of any caveats other than maybe sometimes hearing a nearby dog from time to time, but not enough to disturb any of us (and both bedrooms had a fancy white noise machine). Thank you, Erika!

Easy check in, clear communication and a great location! With only 1 vehicle parking wasn’t an issue at all. The street was fairly quiet and the location was perfect! Walking distance to downtown for the market, shopping and dining. The house included very thoughtful amenities - plenty of comfort, coffee and tea, soft towels, all kitchen necessities, full sized toiletries and great smelling hand soaps. The house was very clean and welcoming. I loved the front porch and patio to sit and drink coffee. Would definitely stay here again!
