Sleeps 16 · Retro Arcade, Hot Tub + Private Suite

Bring the whole crew. This 4-bedroom Nevada City cabin sleeps 16, and one of those bedrooms is the Gold Suite, a private suite with its own entrance on the lower deck. A 5th private room, the retro arcade/office, has its own entrance too. There`s something for every age, and downtown Nevada City is just 5 minutes away.

ROOM FOR EVERYONE TO GATHER
The main level is wide open, with vaulted ceilings, warm wood and walls of windows into the trees. A big sectional and extra lounge chairs give everyone a seat for movie night. The dining table seats 10, and the kitchen island adds bar seating. Right next to the table, a French door opens to the long outdoor dining table about 5 feet away, so the whole group can eat together inside or out. The kitchen has a butcher-block island, a gas range and a coffee station for feeding a crowd. On cool nights, gather around the wood-burning stove with its round built-in firewood nook. The bar nook is ready for evening drinks. Just inside the front door, the foyer has a green velvet sofa and its own door out to a bistro set on the deck, one more spot to hang out.

LIFE ON THE DECKS
The two decks wrap the cabin in the pines, with 27 seats plus a bench, so the whole group can be outside together.

Upper deck: Step through the French doors from the dining room to the long outdoor table for 8 under the string lights. Fire up the gas grill, gather in the wicker lounge, or soak in the hot tub tucked into the trees. A bench and chairs sit under the full overhang outside the living room door, and a quiet side nook has two chairs for morning coffee.

Lower deck: Fully covered and dry in any weather, with hanging egg chairs and more seating. It`s also where the Gold Suite and the retro arcade open up through their own French doors, so it can turn into a second hangout away from the main house.

SOMETHING FOR EVERY AGE
- Retro arcade: classic Nintendo games, plus stand-alone Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat arcade machines, a basketball arcade game and shelves of board games. The kids love it, and the millennial parents might love it more.
- Kids` teepee: a cozy play teepee with plush throws for the littlest guests.
- Ping-pong in the garage, fun for everyone.
- Hot tub on the upper deck under the string lights.
- Bar nook for the grown-ups.

THE GOLD SUITE: YOUR OWN SPACE
If your group includes a family who wants a little privacy, the Gold Suite is for them. It sits on the lower deck with its own entrance, and there`s no access from inside the main house. It has a queen bed with a twin trundle, room for an air mattress, its own bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a coffee bar with a mini fridge. French doors open to the trees, with built-in blinds for privacy. It`s part of the stay but feels like its own little cabin.

RETRO ARCADE + OFFICE
The arcade also has its own private entrance on the lower deck, separate from the house and from the Gold Suite. It doubles as a quiet office with a desk, a second TV and high-speed internet. French doors open to the trees, with built-in blinds when you need to focus. Take your calls down there while the rest of the group is on the deck.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (SLEEPS 16)
- Main level: Green bedroom with a queen bed. It`s the only bedroom on the main level, so it`s the best choice for anyone who`d rather avoid stairs. Full bath with tub and shower next door.
- Upstairs: King bedroom.
- Upstairs: Queen bedroom with a twin daybed and trundle, plus the kids` teepee. It shares a Jack-and-Jill bath (tub/shower) with the king room, and each room has its own vanity.
- Loft: Queen futon.
- Gold Suite (lower deck, private entrance): Queen with twin trundle and a private bathroom.
- Extras: Two queen air mattresses with bedding, plus a twin floor mattress. There`s room for an air mattress in the Gold Suite.

Good to know: the Gold Suite and arcade are reached by walking outside and down the deck stairs. There`s no inside access, which is what keeps them private. There are 3 steps up to the front door.

LOCATION
Tucked in the pines just 5 minutes from historic downtown Nevada City, this cabin puts the best of the Sierra foothills within easy reach.

Town: Downtown Nevada City is just 5 minutes away, with Gold Rush-era streets full of shops, wine tasting and live music. For dinner, two of our favorites are SushiQ and Dakan, and for craft cocktails, don`t miss The Golden Era. Grass Valley is another 11 minutes down the road.

Water: Spend the day at Scotts Flat Reservoir (11 min), swim the emerald pools of the Yuba River at Hoyt`s Crossing (17 min), or camp and boat at Rollins Reservoir (23 min). There`s room to park the boat when you get back.

Trails: Deer Creek Trail starts about 500 feet up the road, and mountain bikers can ride the Pioneer Trail from Harmony Ridge Market (17 min).

Holidays: Through December, Nevada City`s Victorian Christmas and Grass Valley`s Cornish Christmas fill the streets with carolers, lights and holiday vendors. The cabin gets decorated too, tree and all.

Day trips: Truckee (1 hr), North Lake Tahoe (80 min) and Reno (90 min) are an easy drive for skiing and snow days.

GOOD TO KNOW
Couples Retreat Package: Just the two of you? On weekday stays, we offer a discounted rate and cleaning fee for single-couple bookings. Message us before booking for pricing. The discount can`t be added after an instant booking.

Heating: The Gold Suite and arcade share the house`s thermostat. When the wood stove is going upstairs, the main floor warms up and the heat may cycle off, so the lower level can run cooler. A space heater in the Gold Suite keeps it cozy.

No smoking: This is a smoke-free home. If we find signs of smoking inside, a $500 fee covers professional odor removal.

Guest count: The home sleeps up to 16, including children. If you`re thinking of bringing more people or having visitors stop by, just message us first. Unregistered guests are charged $100 per person per night.

Doorbell camera: There`s one doorbell camera at the front door to help with check-in. It records only short motion-triggered clips.

Left-behind items: We`re happy to ship anything you leave behind for a $50 service fee plus postage.

The host was super welcoming and easy to reach through chat. They made sure we had a great stay. The place was really clean, and the area was awesome—we loved the pine trees right next to the deck. It felt like a nice little escape from the busy city. Overall, it was a beautiful place, and we’re already talking about coming back the next time we’re in the area.

There were 8 of us at this home. I loved that you saw trees from every window of the home, even the skylight. The decks were a lovely place to sit and enjoy the views. We used the grill and the hot tub. Very easy. Beds were comfortable. It was a short drive to the downtown. Would stay there again.

Great get away

We are usually a very active family but this trip we really enjoyed slowing it down and hanging around the house. They had a bunch of games, dvd, kids books. More than enough room and beds. It was hard to pick which rooms to stay in. Ha! Our family needed this and it was great get away. Town is not far and we feel in love with Nevada city. They had dog man books and my son was over the moon about that. Great stay highly recommended it.

Lovely Comfortable Home in Great Location

We enjoyed our stay in this clean and spacious home. It had everything that we needed to be quite comfortable. The house has a beautiful deck that looks out over a mature forested area, which was very pleasant. The house is also near Nevada City, which is a great old mining town with plenty of stores & restaurants. The hosts for this property are great - they are very responsive and want to make your check-in very easy and the whole stay comfortable & inviting. Thanks Julia & Craig.

This was a last minute find. It accommodated my family and grandkids. We cooked most meals in the fully equipped kitchen, which is hard to find. The host delivered more firewood! Thank goodness! I would stay again if I'm ever in the area. The downstairs suite was a definite bonus! Thank you!

Couldn't make it

I had an injury and the owner wouldn't reschedule us because we should have purchased insurance according to the owner. That would have been okay if that hadn't sent me an email saying I needed to buy them renter's insurance because of a miscommunication between the owner and Vrbo. This was an additional expense that was not disclosed and that weren't even sorry. So I think this owner's big on minding the rules when it makes them money but not other times. They didn't even automatically refund the cleaning fees when we didn't come - I had to pursue them to get a refund.
