A Walker’s Paradise
Walk out the door and turn right and you can walk a ¼ mile to the Deer Creek Tribute Trail, a lovely hike. Turn left out the door and you are an easy ½ mile walk from downtown Nevada City and all its restaurants and stores. I stayed for a week and walked everywhere, never moving my car. The property is cute, clean and comfortable. The screened porch is a peaceful spot to unwind, though I was here at the wrong time of year to enjoy it properly. I hope to be back in the spring. Betsy is a wonderful host. She has obviously put a lot of thought into her guest’s needs. I highly recommend this property.

Cute cottage in the woods
This is the perfect place to stay near Nevada city. You feel like you are out in the woods, but you are actually close to town and the hiking trails. The cottage was very cozy and extremely well equipped. The owners were very responsive to our requests. The place is perfect for a couple and we hope to return again soon.

The screened back porch was a lovely place to hang out and listen to the creek after a day of hiking. Everything is very comfortable: the bed, the couch and the porch chairs.

Relaxing & Comfortable Cottage
This is our 2nd time to stay there. This time we were able to sit on the screened-in back porch which we truly enjoyed all day. The bed is comfortable and we ate out both nights, Friar Tucks and Brew Haus, highly recommend both. We will return again because it is truly a relaxing getaway. Thank you to the wonderful hosts!!!!

Super cute cottage that felt secluded and off the beaten path (but just a 15 min walk to Nevada City downtown). Love that the cottage included a full kitchen rather than a kitchenette. The back patio is a great hangout space that has that indoor/outdoor feel! We had a gorgeous day at the Yuba River bookended with dinner at The National and the Holbrooke Hotel. Lovely stay!

Amazing cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is very cute and well appointed. Everything you could need is there. It is great to be able to walk to town rather than having to get in the car to go everywhere. We loved having morning coffee on the screened in porch and listening to the birds. We are already planning our next stay.

Comfortable, cosy cottage
We spent 11 nights at the Creekside Cottage for our summer vacation. Beautiful, serene location. The property is well managed with trees, plants, and flowers. The screen porch at the back is ideal for taking in the surroundings. The cottage is clean and stocked with everything you would need for a home away from home. We cooked some of our meals after buying supplies from SPD grocery store, which is a 5 min drive from the property. Convenient location. Cottage is a short 10 minute walk from town and has access to several trails. The hosts were helpful and communicative. They were in touch via text during the check in process and during the stay with helpful tips and responded to questions promptly. The only suggestion we would make is to reorient or reposition the window AC unit. The air was directed up to the ceiling and didn't properly cool the rooms. We had to use the fans instead. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and hope to return.

I loved this property. The cleanliness was good, loved the quietude and smells of the woods.
Great place to de-stress. Easy coming and going to city and nature. Friendly people. Thought the cottage was next to the creek based on online photos, but still quite happy with my experience. Had somewhat of allergic reaction (animal hair, dander) but not to the point of being uncomfortable. ( sneezed a bit, eye itch at one point.) Owners were communicative, accomodating and responsive. 4.25+ starts. Thanks for the much needed relaxation.
