About this house rental

Welcome to our lovingly updated 1924 Miner’s Cabin—an authentic piece of Nevada City’s rich past, partially updated to offer modern comfort while preserving its original quirky character. If you're looking to soak in the nostalgic charm of this Gold Rush town, this is the perfect place to call home during your stay.

Our house blends rustic vintage vibes with just the right touch of contemporary updates. The kitchen and one of the bathrooms have been refreshed, yet you'll still find charming details throughout that whisper of another era.

**Things to Know Before Booking**
Unique Bedroom Layout – The two bedrooms are connected, meaning you walk through one to get to the other. Perfect for families or close-knit groups but may not be ideal for those needing full privacy. (The back bedroom does have its own private exit to the outdoors.)

Quiet, Long-Term Tenant in Back Studio – There’s a cozy studio in the rear of the property with a single, respectful tenant. The only shared space is the driveway.

We welcome one pet and maybe 2 on a case-by-case basis. Tell us about your furry companion when you inquire, and we’ll share our pet policy before booking.
Also, like many older homes in the area, the cabin doesn't have central air, but it stays pleasantly cool thanks to its shade, two standalone A/C units, and fans in every room—even on those warm summer days!

The Neighborhood:
You’re just a scenic 10–15 minute walk to both historic downtown Nevada City and Pioneer Park. Whether you're here for local festivals, forest hikes, or just a peaceful getaway, everything is close by.

A Note About Atmosphere:
This is a family-friendly neighborhood with a calm, respectful vibe. It’s a space to unwind and enjoy—not a spot for parties. We kindly ask guests to keep noise to a minimum.

I’m always just a message away for anything you need during your stay—before, during, and after!

8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
The property was beautiful, the house was nice and clean and had pretty much anything you could need. It was a bit surprising to see someone else staying on the property, just a few feet away from the bedroom door, as there was no mention of this on the listing. Whether you use google maps or apple maps, the directions take you down the wrong street and it can be a bit difficult to find the house.

had a great time!
8 / 10Excellent·May 2025
Our stay was comfortable. Two bedrooms and bathrooms accommodated two adults nicely. The kitchen is nice (although plan to bring cooking oil as not much provided in terms of spices etc.) Online maps take you to the street behind the house, so was a little confusing to find. Some items could use a refresh, but overall clean.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2024
The house was clean, furniture was comfortable, and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The house is old, a very strange layout. You are walking between the two beds in one room to get to the master bedroom. This was not horrible for our group, but could be really awkward if you want any privacy. The house could use some updates
