Family-friendly holiday rentals in Nevada City

Our family of 10- 6 adults, 3 under 4 and an infant enjoyed Catherine's amazing place. She was great answering my questions and always available, the gathering areas were large and accommodated all of us. The adults enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch and the kids loved the toy and book area under a gable on the 2nd floor. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. A Victorian Rose is so close to the downtown and everywhere we needed to be for our Nephews wedding. Thanks Catherine for hosting us!

This property is a literal slice of heaven. It's so peaceful and magical and feels worlds away when only being a few minutes to town. The house was one of the most comfortable airbnbs we have stayed in – and we have stayed in many! Our whole family enjoyed it. Great for adults, kids and lots of room for your dog run and explore. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Gil's Grass Valley home is PERFECTION. Truly a character home with magic in every corner: a creek in the backyard, badminton, ping pong, hot tub, huge projector for TV, lot's of comfortable bedrooms, and a rope swing in the kitchen! We had a great month staying at this home and enjoyed the quick walk into Grass Valley, and amazing proximity to Nevada City. It comfortably accommodates guests and feels spacious. Thank you so much Gil and Family for a great month :) We can't wait to visit again!

I knew the house would be rustic, so I brought my camping gear. I did not need them. The kitchen was well equipt. I could cook anything I needed to make on the hot plate or in the microwave/toaster. There was also a smoker and like 5 BBQs. Do not be worried about cooking. The location is awesome. It is so close to so many things.. or you can just hang out on the property. We spent a day on the property and a day exploring. We spent every night in the hot tub. It was glorious. The bed is very comfortable!

This was our third time staying here. It’s a lovely area, with beautiful trees over the hot tub. It is like a little house that has everything you need in it.

What a paradise this place is! So peaceful and idyllic. The sauna and hot tub area was the highlight of the stay. And we loved getting body treatments from Shari and Mia!

Husband and I stayed at Dawns place for our anniversary. Our stay was peaceful and private. The view was spectacular. Waking up to that view everyday was like a scene out of a movie. The Moon at night was perfect as well. The pictures on the description was exactly what it was like! Thank you Dawn for opening your home to us!

Our hosts May and Jason went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and make our stay amazing for us. We chose this house to hold a small wedding ceremony and reception. It was absolutely beautiful inside and out. May and Jason were generous, kind, and easy to work with. Wedding planning was a breeze, and we had a wonderful time from start to finish. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for the love and care that they put into preparing this special day for us. It was truly unforgettable. They are amazing and we wish them the best. We absolutely recommend staying with them ❤️

We really liked this place. Rural, very scenic. The cabin is very well constructed and well maintained. Nice step-in shower. Good kitchen. Bring food. There aren’t many dining choices nearby. The trading post at Dutch Flat is surprisingly well stocked, which is a good thing because the mini-mart/gas station at the Dutch Flat off ramp is the only other place around to get provisions.

Just stayed at this beautiful AirBnB cabin—absolutely stunning! The host has amazing taste in decor, and every detail is thoughtfully planned, from cooking equipment to outdoor candles for keeping bugs away. The breathtaking view and cozy outdoor deck made it easy to relax and count the stars. Plus, the host even provides a self-made handbook with local guides and dog-friendly trail information, which was a big plus for us. Truly a perfect stay!

Donna was super responsive and helpful and the place was incredibly comfortable, clean, well stocked and beautiful. I would 100% stay here again. It has everything you need and is so peaceful and quiet but close to town!

We had a great stay at Mary’s guest suite in Grass Valley. The setting is beautiful and peaceful and the location was incredibly convenient to get to the fairgrounds where our band was performing. The house also easily accommodated our five-piece band and luggage. We would definitely stay here again!

The cabin was amazing. Just outside of town and on a private pond. They have a summer camp across the pond. You hear cheerful kids playing and the serene landscape of the ca foothills. Truly a great place to stay.

Our family stayed at Casi’s home for a wedding weekend and was GREAT! Highly recommended to all! House was Comfortable, had all necessary essentials to make family meals, was roomy, clean, private and enjoyable. Will definitely stay again when in area again! Thank you so much for being accommodating and sharing your home with us! ♥️

Great spot! Highly recommend!

My husband and I had such a lovely stay! Helen had everything all perfect, and ready to go when we came! Her place was so cozy, and made us feel right at home! We enjoyed the surrounding wildlife and the beautiful landscape. We cannot wait to come back!

Tom was the most gracious host one could ask for. From booking to checkout, Tom made himself available for any and all questions. He provided some insights about finding the house and tips on maneuvering onto the property. He personally met me and my family at check-in, provided us some insights on the property and the area, and helped with access to the lake. The house and grounds are immaculate. Clean, well stocked kitchen, and fresh linens. The property has everything you could ask for with lake, pool and hot tub access. . The private setting is the ultimate topping on the cake. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to connecting with Tom for future trips!

wonderful place to retreat...our second annual visit... looking forward to coming back again!

Suzanne’s cottage is super charming and comfortable! The grounds are gorgeous, the bed is comfy, and there were so many thoughtful touches. She knew it was our anniversary and left a bottle of champagne for us in the fridge, we had our kids with us, so she left smores makings. It’s definitely a small space, but we were there for just one night, and it was fine for our family of 4 with the kids sharing the futon. The new a/c unit kept us cool inside. We had fun watching frogs on the lily pad pond and feeding the chickens. This was a great spot for an overnight getaway, and we will definitely be back!

There was so much more than we expected, the house is just bursting with interesting art, cool gadgets, above and beyond thoughtful accessories, super comfy everything, and, I don't know, just an awesome vibe. The kids would've been entertained for weeks just with the room full of toys but there's a legit play structure, tricycles, and the pool area is full of pool toys, floaties, etc. also! The garden and yard were amazing, baby birds and butterflies, and way bigger than it looks in the pictures. There are trees all around so it really does feel totally private but it's conveniently close to restaurants, shopping, etc. Heather definitely went out of her way to make our trip better, like filling up the baby pool so that my eight-month old could have sun-warmed water to play in (which he loved), actually she thought of so many things I didn't, lol, she's the hostess with the mostest!

We recently stayed at Don and Kathy’s beautiful home for our son’s wedding weekend and it was absolutely magical. Don and Kathy were incredibly hospitable, always easy to reach, and made us feel so welcome. The home itself is stunning—truly something to experience. The home is well-appointed and thoughtfully designed, offering both comfort and style for a truly relaxing stay. The surroundings felt straight out of a Hallmark movie, with autumn leaves falling and twinkling Christmas lights creating a festive atmosphere. It was cozy, inviting, and felt just like home. We can't wait to come back and stay here again! Thank you, Don and Kathy, for making our special weekend even more memorable!

This wonderful little cabin was a great place to spend a getaway weekend with my son. The peaceful, wooded surroundings provided the relaxing backdrop I was looking for and my son was delighted with the wood burning stove. He discovered that the pine cones that were suggested as fire starters did a great job and he had a great time replenishing their supply from the woods around the cabin.

We had a awesome time, our host provided great communication and the house was exactly what we hoped for. The weather was hot and the pool was the perfect, AC was cold for when we couldn't be in the pool. Fun to play pool, chess, cards and watch movies in the theatre room. Great kitchen with everything you need. Thank you for having us.
