"We had a fantastic mini family getaway in Baby Bear. Even though we crammed two kids in last minute, the host was extremely accomodating and our stay was amazing. It was hard to leave. "

About this cabin rental

Just 2.5 miles from downtown Nevada City you'll find Baby Bear's Cottage, a one bedroom, one bath, with your own private hot tub that has a view of the waterfall and pond, on 5 wooded acres adjacent to Papa Bear's Timber Lodge (listing # 46584). This cozy log cottage can be rented alone or for additional space when renting Papa Bear's Lodge. It is an ideal location for relaxing or exploring Nevada City , Grass Valley, or the South Yuba River, both only minutes away by car.
We now have fiber optic internet! There is wifi calling from the cabins. There is a TV with satalite reception. and you can now stream from your devise. The kitchen features a small stove with oven, microwave, and under-the-counter size refrigerator. The bedroom boasts a comfortable king bed and the sounds of the waterfall directly outside. The air is fresh with pine and cedar scent. We are next door to Camp Augusta. In the summer months (late May to mid August) you can hear 'happy camp sounds' as children enjoy swimming, zip lining and singing around the camp fire, then off to bed by 9:30, quiet hour. You will hear these sounds occasionally, not constantly. In there off-season, you are you are invited to hike their trails. (Camp is is session from May -August) Just stop in at their office and ask permission. Let them know you are our guests.
A $60 cleaning fee and 10% bed tax is charged in addition to the room rate. Extra guest charge for third guest is $20/nt. No pets are allowed in Baby Bear's Cottage for the benefit of our guests who have allergies. Sorry, no exceptions. If you have a pet, please see Mama Bear's Cabin for booking.

In the heart of downtown Nevada City (2.5 miles) and Grass Valley (5 miles) you'll find great food, outstanding live theater and wonderful galleries and shops. Travel by car to skiing, river or lake kayaking and swimming. There are many bicycle trails through the surrounding hills and plenty of hiking trails. Local and out-of-town musicians can be heard almost any night of the week at several of the theater venues and restaurants. Check the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce web site at the bottom of this page for information on the many special events happening in the area. Try your hand at gold panning at the Yuba River, or near the covered bridge at Bridgeport a shot drive away,and visit the Historic Empire Mine. This area is ideal for mountain bikers, kayakers and hikers, and, for those looking for a romantic getaway. (Lake Vera is a small lake across the road, surrounded by summer camps and used exclusively by them.

This is the perfect spot to unwind, and although Papa Bear's Lodge is next door, their activities and outdoor area and porch are away from Baby Bear's Cottage. The waterfall goes 24 hours so if you are sensitive to waterfall sounds at night, this may not be the place for you. On a dark night you can see the milky way. You may see a deer or two or Turkeys wander through the yard. This is definitely a special place.

We enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately, the power went out and we had to go to Grass Valley to purchase a flashlight as there were none in the cabin. It might be a good idea to have one available in the winter months. The cabin is cute and cozy and we would stay there again.

Charming little cottage, perfect size for what we were looking for.

When I arrive at a VRBO it is and was a beautiful setting. But one thing I really want clean are my floors. I noticed in the cabin of baby bear dog prints and what looked like unclean floors so I decided to get down on hands and knees and do a little cleaning to see just how dirty it was. I ended up cleaning the kitchen tile floor and the wood floor where we spent most of our time as carpet was in the bedroom. They were quite dirty. It’s like they had forgotten to clean it for sometime. The throw carpets were pretty dirty, so I put towels down all around so we could walk on the clean towels. we felt the bedding was a bit on the old side and needed some refreshing stains on the bedspread, etc. But other than that we slept like babies, the scenery is gorgeous with a waterfall in the back and a private Jacuzzi. It was close to hiking, which we loved! We would like to return if we felt the cleaning was better as the setting truly was beautiful and very private.
