Lux, creekfront 8-acre retreat with hot tub

The best vacation rental in Nevada City! Snippets from our reviews:

"Wow. This was by far the best VRBO I've ever stayed at, and I've stayed at dozens." -Michael

"I don’t know how many times our group kept commenting on how amazing the place was." -Crystal

Kindly read through the entire description before booking. Thank you :)

Creekfront designer cabin on 8 acres with hot tub. The private creek is year-round and perfect for dipping on a hot day. There is a large fire pit, horseshoes, and a hammock by the creek. Seclusion and quietude in nature yet 4 minutes to downtown Nevada City, 15 min to rivers & lakes, and 45 min to ski resorts. This is the place for people who are tired of rentals that lack amenities or aesthetic quality. This is also a non-toxic, eco-friendly sanctuary.

There are four bedrooms in the main house and an optional separate studio to rent. (Note the description says this is 5 bedrooms-- so if only renting the main house you are renting 4 bedrooms, or you can optionally add the studio for a fifth bedroom.) The main house has two bedrooms with king beds, one bedroom with a twin bed and a twin air mattress (if needed but please request ahead of time), and an enclosed den with a queen murphy bed. There are three bathrooms. This allows for a maximum of 8 people in the main house. For 9-11 guests, or if you just want extra space for a smaller party, you can rent the separate studio for $125/night plus $125 cleaning fee (and 10% local tax). This is discounted from our regular rates. The studio is beautifully renovated with a queen bed, full kitchen, bathroom, and living area with sofa for a child or young adult to sleep on. Photos for the studio are in this listing photo set. To rent the studio, please check with me about its availability before booking, and then make your booking here with the total amount of people staying in the main house *and* the studio.

The kitchen is fully equipped-- this is not like other rentals that lack wine glasses or cooking pans! We have a Ninja blender, instant pot/slow cooker, toaster, French press coffee maker, coffee grinder, lots of dishes and utensils, state of the art drinking water filtration system, gas oven and stove, baking dishes and pans, and more. You'll also be provided with organic cooking oil and organic spices.

The owner specializes in non-toxic home design so everything from the mattresses and bedding to the soap & shampoo are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and/or organic.

You have complete reign of the 8 acre property, including the hot tub, and private creekfront park with gazebo, fire pit, and horseshoe pit. Sometimes we rent out a studio on the property (or you can rent it-- see details above), but studio guests do not have access to acres of the property that are just for you, so the hot tub, fire pit, gazebo, horse shoe pit, and more is yours. If you want total privacy, we can block out the studio from being rented for an additional $75/night, or you can rent it for $125/night plus $125 cleaning fee and 10% local tax (see details above).

Pack and play, bassinet, and dining table booster seat with tray are available! Please just bring your own sheet for the pack and play or bassinet. We also have a twin air bed, which is usually needed if 8 guests are staying in the main home (if the studio is not rented). Please request the air bed in advance of your arrival so we can set it up for you.

It can snow occasionally in the winter-- usually only about 10 days per year between December or January through March. Sometimes we are able to plow the driveway for longer-term stays. If not, you will either need snow chains and/or a 4WD vehicle to access the home. But-- we are happy to offer a more flexible cancellation policy for winter guests in the event that the driveway would be inaccessible for you. Please just message me when booking for more details on this flexible cancellation. (You must arrange for this at the time of booking, though, not more than a day or two after. Thank you.)

No parties or events, and please ask if you want to invite anyone to the home who is not in the guest count at booking.

We love dogs and do not discriminate against breeds! Please just confirm at time of booking that your pup will not go to the bathroom in the house or chew any items in the house.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a hot tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

The owners were Very nice to work with and very responsive and accommodating! Home was immaculate, kitchen well stocked, the grounds are beautiful. We also rented the Studio which is quite spacious and lovely too. It was difficult to get it warm enough though. We loved all the windows, the light and the views they offered. Also, the numerous decks and opportunities to sit outside in warmer weather... especially by the creek. We had difficulty regulating the heat in the charming downstairs suite. We can't imagine anyone being disappointed in staying in this beautiful home! We hope to be able to return in warmer weather to fully avail ourselves of the magnificent surroundings. J.C.

What a special place the owners have created! We were a crowd of 11 for four nights and this property was perfect. Even in August, Deer Creek was too cold to do much more than wade up to our knees, but no matter -Nevada City and California's wild rivers provided us with all that we came to enjoy.Surrounded by pine trees, the big house is exactly as pictured. Ample parking and circle driveway. 2-car garage. Main level has a half-bath, large bedroom with king bed & 4-piece en suite, an office with daybed & desk, laundry/utility room with washer/dryer, living room, hearth, dining room overlooking the elevated deck and path to the creek. Convenient kitchen with everything needed to feed our crowd. Lower level is a walkout with two large bedrooms, each with king beds, and central bathroom with shower.Two in our party stayed in the Studio with king bed, full bathroom plus kitchenette. This was very convenient!We exhausted ourselves each day at various places along the Yuba River swimming & rock hunting, so the hot tub became our nightly therapy.Impressions: Serene. Quiet. Picturesque. Both the big house & Studio were spacious and relaxing. We plan on coming back. Owners have created a wonderful retreat that is instantly relaxing.

Better than advertised.

A truly lovely property. Every year our family looks for a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery with our dogs. This was by far the best place we've found. Nevada City is adorable, the house was private and I can't say enough about that creek that flows through the property. We were there everyday and the dogs absolutely loved it. Can't wait to return! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. (We did bring our own pizza oven, pasta and ice cream maker as we are a family of home chefs) but everything else was plentiful.

Surrounded by beauty!

Our 3-generation family had a relaxing stay surrounded by beauty. As other reviews have stated, the home is nestled among trees with the windows and deck facing the creek. Our two toddlers enjoyed the deck along with the adults, and our dogs loved running freely when we walked to the creek. The kitchen had ample cookware, plates, and glasses. The beds were comfortable. Beautiful scenery, lovely home, close to downtown ... our family had a fantastic stay.

Such a sweet place for my 50th birthday retreat!

I stayed here with my 5 girlfriends for a weekend to celebrate my 50th. After a couple of them left, some of the Dads came up with the kids. The property was spacious with ample bathrooms. Everything was really clean. My friends enjoyed the extra spices that were left behind in the pantry for cooking our meals. We roamed the property near the creek and the kids enjoyed the fair garden. We were finally able to enjoy the jacuzzi right before we left. We can't wait to come back! Just a head's up that the house itself has 4 bedrooms, and the studio is the 5th bedroom. Also, if you don't want to share the property, you need to block out the studio. I didn't see that in the listing, but luckily we blocked out the studio. We would book the studio next time. Emily was so responsive and helpful. We were all wishing we could've stayed longer. Thank you Emily!

Beautiful peaceful home

Very nice home. Secluded and quiet. It felt like we were in a tree house with the large windows surrounding the whole house. The property is very large and shady with a beautiful creek just a short walk down a hill on the property. Just a short(less than 5 min) drive to Nevada City. Very comfortable beds and furnishings. Clean and well taken care of. Well equipped with everything we needed and more. We could tell that the owners really care about their home and property. Thank you for sharing it with us. We plan on returning.

This is one of our all-time favorites! The house is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of private spaces (indoor and outdoor) for each sleeping area. The property itself, though, is what makes this place really special. It is extremely private with multiple walking trails and strategically placed seating areas. Despite the remote feel, it's only a very short, easy drive into town. We enjoyed this place so much that we are already thinking about a return trip. Highly recommended!

A Wonderful Retreat!

This property is less than 5 min away from Nevada City but it entirely remote. However it will be difficult to locate and arrive at the properly without cellphone navigation. There are multiple country roads in the area with a lack of proper identification, and following a map will not be enough help to navigate without getting lost. This caveat should be mentioned in the property description.

Amazing slice of heaven!

We just spent a week here and we didn't want to leave! The property was everything we were looking for to get away, spend time together as a family, and so much more! It is quite a hike down to the creek, but that didn't stop us for spending most of our time there. It's very secluded from neighbors and feels like your very own forest. We let our dog play off leash, chasing a ball to his heart's content, had a campfire, relaxed and explored the property. The view from the cabin is breathtaking. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the baby gates so we could keep our dog corralled. We were able to get Instacart and Doordash delivered which made things even easier for us, and allowed us to spend more time together. We did go in to town once to have lunch at Three Forks, but it was extremely busy and difficult to find parking (and the bees/flies were unbearable to sit outside and eat with our dog). We didn't venture out again after that, which was fine by us since there was so much to do at this property. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Stay!!! Rejuvenating Atmosphere 10+

My Husband & I loved this property!!! We were impressed by the private driveway, complete privacy, beautiful home & gorgeous property! We were minutes from downtown Nevada City, yet felt miles away. We loved the quality built home, large windows, views, deck, spa, walking trails, gently flowing river, horseshoe pits, gazebo and the several areas to sit and take it all in and enjoy! Every direction you looked was beautiful!!!The home has a large family room, dinning area, well appointed kitchen and very comfortable bedding and bed. If you are looking for a restful retreat as a couple, family or friends you won't be disappointed! The pictures are nice but they don't really do the property justice. For us this home was a 10.Our only regret was having to pull away and leave this peaceful mountain home!

Idyllic Country Retreat

This property was absolutely perfect for three couples and two dogs seeking a cozy, private winter weekend in a beautiful setting. The home is light, bright, and spacious, with expansive views of the surrounding woods and hills from all rooms. The grounds are well-maintained and inviting and offer a perfect balance of indoor/outdoor living. The nearby town and hiking trails are charming and easily accessible by car. As a dog mama, I was thrilled to find that the house comes equipped with creek towels, dog beds, washable slipcovers on the chairs, and conveniently-placed hoses for quick paw cleanups. Emily is a wonderful and gracious host: flexible, generous, responsive, and clearly intentional in creating the very special ambience of this home. I can't wait to stay here again!
