The host Nicole was professional, prompt in responses, and understanding when we inadvertantly left some items behind... I appreciate how she went out of her way and was super helpful with no hesitation! The house is nestled amongst large trees and is clean, organized and well-stocked with necessities. My family enjoyed all the amenities and had a very comfortable stay. Also we liked how close and easy the access was to downtown Nevada City for the Victorian Christmas event. I recommend this place with no hesitation.

Nevada City Casa Mariposa Stay
Our property for our stay was absolutely amazing! House was very clean and very modern. Absolutely fantastic kitchen! Our bed was quite comfortable, bathroom was very enjoyable, and plenty of towels/washclothes for everyone! We also very much appreciated the back deck to sit around the table & enjoy the incredible weather! Thanks so much to Nicole our host! You made our visit a very memorable one!
