We absolutely loved our stay! The home was perfect—clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The location couldn’t be better, close to everything yet peaceful with an amazing view. Our dog was in heaven, too—he loved exploring the yard and relaxing with us on the patio. We can’t wait to come back!

So clean! Beautiful views! Comfortable bed and wonderful towels and bedding! Every kitchen tool or appliance you will ever need! The only negative was there weren’t any extra blankets. Lovely in every way!

This property is an amazing mountain view stay. It’s so peaceful up on the ridge…far enough away to have a true getaway yet close to Nevada City for easy access to everything. The home is fully stocked, beautifully decorated, and upgraded with all the modern technology. Communication with the owner (Wander) was so easy and helpful.
