Cascade Dream

JenniferRating, 5 stars6 days ago

The cabin near Scott’s Flat Lake was lovely and very relaxing during our weekend trip. The cabin is well appointed and decorated with a modern touch. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck by the gas fire pit at night. The cabin is close to the Cascade Shores launch ramp and trail to the beach. We brought our inflatable SUP down and enjoyed a relaxing lakeside day. The location and the cabin were amazing. Highly recommend!

Truly a hidden gem! Booked with Elena for a graduation trip. There is so much historical attractions in this area so we were never bored. The location is perfectly close to town while still being surrounded by nature with privacy. The pool was larger than expected and the waterfall definitely pulled it together making it the perfect peaceful getaway! Everything was super clean and the the bed was very comfortable.

Designer studio w/ private creek, 5 min from town

JuliaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

What a beautiful, tranquil, non-toxic hideaway in the woods! Still very drivable to downtown Nevada City. Fully separate from the main house. Comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in!!! Only downside was that the WiFi was very spotty and Verizon hotspot was unreliable so I would not recommend planning on working remotely from the place, though there’s a good coffee shop in town with cell service and WiFi!

Family-Friendly Forest Retreat | Walk to Trails

DerekRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The cottage is in the woods about 10 minutes outside of Nevada City and exactly as pictured. There was a large bedroom downstairs and two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room upstairs. There was a bathroom with a tub/shower upstairs and a bathroom with large shower downstairs. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you might need to cook. There was a nice deck outside the kitchen and another picnic table and a fire circle at different locations on the property. The driveway is a little steep. We figured out that it is much easier if you swing the car to the left just before you turn right into the driveway. The air conditioning works well. It was a very comfortable stay for our party of five adults.
