Amazing Gem in Grass Valley

What an amazing place to stay….beautifully decorated for Christmas and just a beautiful, well cared for home. The kitchen was fully equipped - there were even snacks for us - and house immaculate. The decor is stunning and the location ideal for shopping/eating in downtown Grass Valley. This is our new go to place in Grass Valley!

Wonderful home, walking distance into town

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday stay at Debbie’s property. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our holidays meals. The entire space was clean and well stocked with amenities. Off street & safe parking. Historic Downtown Grass Valley is only a 10 minute walk via a safe sidewalk along beautiful old homes.

Home away from home

We have stayed at this wonderful property twice now as we visit family in the area. It feels like home. It’s immaculate, has all the amenities, and is in a great central location close to downtown. Our host, Debbie, is very accommodating and allowed us to check in a few hours earlier on arrival, which we appreciated. We love it here and will stay again in the future. Thanks Debbie

This lovely home away is unbelievable! Both of us have been in really nice places, but this is way beyond with all the amenities, anything you might want and more (cookies, crackers, coffee and all ways to make it, goodies in the fridge and ice cream in the freezer). Such comfortable beds also and a quiet secure area. The hostess with the mostest for sure! Thank You Debbie!

Vacay get-a-awy in Grass Valley

Although I have visited Grass Valley many times, staying at a variety of places, this was by far my favorite place to stay.The house was a 5 minute walk to downtown which featured shops, restaurants, and a grocery store. It was a 10 minute walk to the fairgrounds where we attended the annual blue grass festival. It was beautifully decorated, immaculate, and well- stocked with any kitchen and bathroom items a guest might need. It also had 3 comfortable, charming outdoor seating areas. The hostess, Debbie, was very accommmodating, making sure that all of our needs were met.We will return to this lovely house where we were made to feel right at home.

Summertime Perfection

Comfortable, beautiful, well situated and relaxing, this charming Grass Valley home was a wonderful place for a summer getaway. We loved the classic and antique decor, paired with modern conveniences and comfort. The property was beautifully landscaped with mature shade trees and summer flowers, for me wonderfully evocative of the east coast summers of my youth! The location was perfect for a short stroll into the downtown for charming shops and restaurants. The unit's location at the back of the building provided both quiet and shade, making the unit very comfortable even on a hot weekend. We barely needed to use the air conditioning despite the heat. We loved the gourmet kitchen and multiple comfortable places to sit both inside and out. Debbie was a sweet and helpful host from reservation through check-in and check-out, and beyond. Overall a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent stay, all the way around

It started with the owner, who was very responsive, welcoming, helpful, and kindly answered any questions that we had. The property was exactly as advertised: clean, super-quiet, roomy, warm, inviting. Everything we needed was available and of good quality: kitchen, bathrooms, etc. Everything was so nice, easy and appealing. We wanted to relax in a quiet and comfortable environment, and that is exactly what this property provided. We would come back to this place again if it's available. thx ron

Perfect in Every Way

Rented this property with my 2 sisters, ages ranging from 73 to 80 years old. Very senior-friendly! No steps inside or out, and no carpeting. Floors are lovely and clean, slate and wood. Walk-in shower was new and large. Beds were very comfy and warm. We knew this was going to be a lovely stay the minute we pulled up to the front door. There was a cement pad on which to park the car, and a welcoming wrought iron gate and short cement walkway up to the house. The minute we stepped in it felt like home. Living room was set up for good conversation, kitchen was modern and well stocked. The bedrooms were a nice size, and the decor throughout was deliciously charming. Debbie was very responsive and she gave us a sense of security that if we needed anything at all, she would be available. We will definitely stay here again. 5 Stars says “don’t hesitate”!

Beautiful home and incredible host

My daughter and I stayed three nights during Easter week. Upon opening the door we were greeted by a lovely handwritten note, a vase filled with colorful Easter eggs, some lovely chocolates, and an old-fashioned bunny that perfectly matched the antique furnishings in this truly beautiful home. You’ll want for nothing in Debbie’s place. The living room is warm and inviting, both bedrooms are absolutely charming, with gorgeous antique beds that are extremely comfortable. The well-equipped kitchen has excellent cooking supplies (including chef’s knives that are actually sharp!). The walk up Mill Street to old town Grass Valley was short and pleasant. As the evenings cooled down we would relax on the quaint outside patio and soak up the rest of the day’s rays. Debbie deserves the premiere host status she’s received. She really made us feel like family and took great care to ensure that we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back!
