✔ We have a very strict no party rule with this property. There is a long term tenant in the ADU downstairs & a family lives next door. Any violation of this will be an immediate eviction & fine.
✔ Pets: one well-behaved, well socialized pet is welcome at the Prohibition Hideaway with an additional $50 pet fee. We kindly request that your dog does not get up on furniture or in beds, in an effort to not destroy linens or furniture and maintain a clean environment for future guests. Pets must never be left unattended in the home at any time, whether or not in a kennel crate, without first checking with the host and getting approval.

You will notice clearly marked signs for parking. Please do not park directly in front of the house. This allows for the long term tenant space for their vehicles.

The decor was fun and perfect for our annual girls' weekend. Be prepared for lots of stairs and bring slipper socks as there is a 'no shoes' policy indoors.

Wonderful girls getaway!
Found this charming prohibition themed home online and had to book it for my birthday weekend! Invited 3 friends and we had a wonderful time eating, drinking, sightseeing and hiking. Everyone loved the decor and setup of the house. So convenient to walk to town too!

Thanksgiving visit
The house was super cute and the hosts were the best! It was difficult to find the house, there needs to be some sort of sign on the street to identify the driveway. We had a great visit with family in the area.

Great Host and Clean House
The host is really what makes this place a five star review. Her communication was great and she went above and beyond to accommodate our stay. The place was very clean and the host provided all the necessities you need for a stay (toothbrushes, floss, breakfast, snacks, shampoo, conditioner). The location was good and a short 8-10 minute walk to Nevada City.

Amazing house
We had the perfect weekend in Nevada City mostly thanks to Kelsey and her incredible hospitality. The house is super clean and very cute, and a short walk to downtown where all the restaurant are. Kelsey gave us a great list of recommendations and we end up doing a lot of activities from the list. Her welcome basket had the most delicious cookies, muffins, and an amazing frittata we had for breakfast, and you can tell she puts so much care into hosting. I definitely recommend this place and we hope to come back soon!
