Chic cottage w/ spectacular views - minutes from downtown

Perched in the Sierra Nevada foothills overlooking Tahoe National Forest, the Sierra Sunrise house is a short drive from historic Grass Valley and Nevada City, yet feels private and remote.

Whether a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo escape from the city, you will find tranquility and beauty here. Enjoy the gardens, views and fresh air. Expect comfort and convenience...spectacular sunrises and sunsets...picturesque and peaceful. Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway.

Sierra Sunrise is a beautiful 2-story house on our 7 acre property a short drive from historic downtown Grass Valley. There are two other houses on the property (one we live in, one other vacation rental next door).

On the ground level you’ll find the kitchen, dining room, bathroom, living room with a convertible couch (full size mattress + topper), and an outdoor patio with dining table that seats 8.

On the second floor is the master bedroom with 1 queen bed, 1 trundle bed (2 twins that can be separated or combined to create a king bed), 1 convertible couch, an office, and a private deck with incredible views of Tahoe National Forest and the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The house has reliable cell service and dedicated WiFi, as well as a 55” inch flat screen TV with all the standard streaming options.

Guests are encouraged to explore the property! Sit by the pond, try out our makeshift disc golf course (i.e. trees for targets!), utilize the shared outdoor kitchen equipped with sink and bbq, walk the land, play horseshoes, and watch what we like to call "Hummingbird TV". We especially recommend exploring the garden to hang with the chickens, see what's in season, make yourself a bouquet, or pick some fruits and veggies! With over 90+ different flowers, trees, herbs etc growing around the property there is lots to explore. We can also provide binoculars and a bird guide for the bird enthusiasts!

Dogs are welcome, but please note there are other dogs that live on the property that might come say hello! They are friendly, but you can let us know if it's an issue. We advise that you leash your dog while exploring the property if they don’t do well with other dogs - also this can be helpful as pups do like to take off into the forest once they catch a glimpse of a jackrabbit!

The Sierra Sunrise House has its own dedicated parking right in front for at least four cars. We have space for more if you need and can accommodate trailers/RVs.

The House is easy to get to and close to highway 20 and 49. We are 12 minutes from downtown Grass Valley, a few minutes further to Nevada City, and even closer to the Fairgrounds.

We love to host people and are happy to interact as much or as little as you like! We can also help you plan your visit, organize fun activities, arts & crafts, garden tours, wine tasting, piano singalongs, etc. We enjoy creating magical and memorable experiences for people so let us know what your heart desires!

Check out our other listing if you want more space! https://www.vrbo.com/2497107?unitId=3066861
They can be rented together and sleep 9-10 people.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Perfect Getaway

Even though the house was a bit outside of town, it wasnt that bad of drive to get into Grass Valley. Would be bumpy for an RV but very do-able. They had a garden you could pick vegetables and the view form the top deck was breathtaking. Internet sometimes became spotty but still able to stream movies. If you wanted to take a nice quiet walk this is a good place. Very pet friendly and host was very easy to contact.

Great break from the city!

We came from the Bay Area to attend a concert at the Arts Center. This was a perfect spot. Clean, had everything we needed! Very pretty house. Tal greeted us on arrival and offered for us to check out later on our last day because no one booked that day. My friend enjoyed doing yoga in the garden with the vegs and chickens! Really sweet place.

Perfect for a quick girls night away

We needed a quick night away to read, wine and catch up so we booked this cute little place. It was perfect for what we were looking for and a darling home. I wish we could go back during a time when we could pick flowers from their cute garden nearby! We were able to grab a few veggies and use them for our snackies - loved! 10/10 recommend grabbing your favorites foods, friends and bevies and sneaking away for a night here!

Yoga retreat without the yoga :)

My whole family (me, hub, 17yo, 21yo and our 1yo dog) absolutely loved Tal and Andra's cottage. It was bright, clean, breezy and cozy, with everything we needed to make meals that we ate on the back deck. The loft-ish bedroom felt like a yoga retreat center! But I didn't even have to do yoga! We hung a hammock in the little grove of trees off the back deck, took walks down the road, had coffee on the upstairs balcony to watch the sunrise, and wine on the front "porch" at sunset. It was a little further from Auburn than we thought (miles down back roads, all paved)--but not far at all from Grass Valley. Super relaxing!

Birthday Party in The Snow Storm

Our friend was celebrating his 60th bday in town with his family. We needed a place to stay over night that was pet friendly. Unfortunately that same week Grass Valley suffered through terrible snow storms, leaving many with out power. Our hosts communication was exceptional. They made sure we were coming, had an appropriate vehicle for our safety, and even arranged an early check in based on our arrival time. We maintained power and had a freshly shoved drive way in the morning. We would recommend to friends and stay again in the future.
