About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Hummingbird House-Be cozy and walk to town!

This house is an updated Miner's cabin! If you'd like to experience some of the Nevada City old time charm you will love my place!

Please note that bedrooms are attached to each other, making this place ideal for families with children.

Your single pet will be accepted on a case by case basis. When you make a request, tell me a bit about them. I will send you a copy of my pet policy to agree to before booking.

My place was a miner's cabin dated back to 1924! The kitchen and one of the bathrooms has been updated. We have kept many of the quirky features of the home while also adding newer touches.

Note that like many older homes in the area it does not have central a/c, but there are 2 stand alone room units, and fans in every room. This is a shaded property that stays cool even on 100 degree days.

Also note that there is a studio on the property that is also a short term rental, though it tends to be often occupied by monthly guests. If you are interested to rent the studio as well let me know and I will give you the link to see if it's available.

It is about a 10 minute walk to downtown Nevada City or to Pioneer Park.

This is a neighborhood and family oriented area. Guests are expected to maintain reasonable noise levels. This is not a property for partying!

I am always available for any and every issue that may come up.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Nevada City Chamber of Commerce. The holiday home includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, 2 bathrooms and patio

Great, cute house, close to town. Easy to contact host
The overall stay was wonderful! The house is super cute and clean. The only complaint I have is that there is a small ADU/Inlaw unit on the property that someone clearly lives in and that is not listed on the booking site. So it was a little strange to have somebody there that we were unaware of

Close to town, good value
We enjoyed the property. We are 2 couples. Luckily we travel together frequently as you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the 2nd. That was fine for us and for families but may be an issue for some. In any case the house is furnished and stocked well. We didn't use the kitchen, except for coffee so can't comment on cooking utensils but appeared fine. Beds were comfortable and we were able to warm up the house and be cosy. About a15 minute walk to town.

Great Getaway
4 of us stayed at the Hummingbird Cottage. Very clean and cozy inside. We were very comfortable for our 2 day stay. Convenient location to walk into town and short drive to Grass Valley for more “ambling”.

Great Location & Clean, just rundown & odd
The house was clean, furniture was comfortable, and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The house is old, a very strange layout. You are walking between the two beds in one room to get to the master bedroom. This was not horrible for our group, but could be really awkward if you want any privacy. The house could use some updates

Cute
Loved the coziness of the inside - just the right size for 2. The outside was not as maintained as the pictures suggest, although most of the tables & chairs were there. There are more stairs to get into the house, & stairs to get to the bedrooms than we noticed in the pictures, none of which have handrails.

Everything you need in a cozy mountain cottage
We really enjoyed our stay in the Hummingbird House. The location is convenient, the neighborhood was quiet, and the well-stocked house had everything we needed for the week. Check-in and checkout was easy, and the owner was responsive when I had a question. Beds were comfortable and the house was clean and well-organized.

Will be back
We loved our stay at hummingbird house! The house was adorable. The beds were comfortable! It had a lot of charm! Parking was a little tricky since we had two cars and someone was renting the other house but by the second day we had it down! We will be back to visit hummingbird house for sure!

Great location!
Our stay was great. Be aware that the design of the house is such that one has to pass through a bedroom to reach the “master” bedroom and bathroom. There is a second, slightly less private bathroom down the hall past the kitchen. So for people with small kids it is great. For two couples, there is less privacy. If that all works for you, the house is great.

cute place in great location
The cabin is a short walk to both downtown Nevada City and to Pioneer Park. It's more spacious than it looks in pictures and could easily accommodate 4 people, though there were only 2 of us. The shade from surrounding trees kept it nice and cool on hot days. The front part of the driveway is rather treacherous, so I suggest backing out.

Lovely Nevada City Cottage
We love Elizabeth's sweet and wonderful Hummingbird House! Everything was so comfortable and thoughtful with a charming aesthetic and a beautiful yard for the pup to enjoy. We only stayed for a couple of nights but our time here was so relaxing and we enjoyed our weekend very much. We hope to return for a longer stay. Perfect base camp for a trip to the snow.

perfect cottage stay
Everything was wonderful at Hummingbird house! It is a beautiful, rustic home with just the right amount of updated amenities. My family and I enjoyed coming back after days on the river/lakes to play games, cook dinner, and watch movies in the cozy house. The neighborhood is gorgeous and fun to walk through and there is a nice park just a couple of blocks away. The owner is very responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend this place for a visit to the area!

Very nice place, with a cute vibe going on. Not much privacy for groups that aren’t families, considering the two bedrooms are connected. Overall good experience and a great location.
