Clean place with plenty of space. Can be a bit hard to find when there's a lot of snow, but it's in a nice spot.

This place is really nice and very comfortable. We were six adults and one twelve year old traveling from Costa Rica, we had some tickets for Boreal Mountain and this condo was walking distance from it. Plus it was a short 10min drive to down town Truckee and 20-30min drive to other resorts and Kings Beach. The condo has everything you need for a short stay, really well equipped. We had our parents sleep in the main bedroom with their own bathroom and we slept in the second room where they have one queen bed and two mattresses. If you are planning a trip to Tahoe this is a really good place to stay!

Paul's place is very well equipped almost everything is new, you can connect to the TV if you are subscribed to a TV service and the wifi is working you can use the TV without problems. There is a nice fireplace but you can not use it is locked, I imagine it is to avoid accidents with the carpet that is new. The cabin is a few meters from the Boreal Mountain park to do sky or snowboard. The owner is attentive to the questions you can ask regarding the use of some things of the cabin. You must be careful with the entrance when it falls a lot of snow the steps disappear and it is slippery. The view and the place are beautiful and for the snow activities with the family is ideal. Small suggestion: manual for contingencies and use of essentials would help

Nice and warm flat in boreal. Close to the road.

Beautifully remodeled and conveniently located, this condo is fantastic! We never even had to leave the property.

Super nice place to stay right next to Boreal

The host is very nice and answered all my questions. This house is very nice and clean. Very convenient location, just next to boreal ski.

Perfect for a stay for skiing at boreal. Beds were comfortable and very clean home.

Amazing! Marc's home was stunning, and him and his family couldn't have been more accommodating.

Really nice place. Perfect to ski sugar bowl.

Great, newly renovated place, cozy kids room and close to Donner Skiing and sledding. Marc was attentive and texted to make sure we got in ok. Overall great weekend. Thanks!

We loved staying in this comfortable, updated and tasteful cabin. It fit our party of 3 couples and two small children perfectly. The beds and furnishings were very comfortable and the decor was on point. There cabin is located close to the freeway and downtown Truckee, and in a nice neighborhood. The Hosts Marc and Kaye, were easy to work with and responded to questions right away, and even sent us a message upon arrival to make sure we got into the house okay and to see if we had any questions. We would definitely stay again!

We had a lovely stay! Cozy cabin in the snowy woods. For those of you unfamiliar with the area, Donner lake is Tahoe's smaller, cuter brother. Easy access to Truckee (grocery stores, great restaurants etc.) and most major ski slopes are a short drive away. Marc was super accommodating and pleasure to deal with. The neighborhood was easy to access even after a huge snowstorm and the neighbors were all super friendly. Great place to stay for a family or with a group of friends!

Clean, quiet, well equipped, comfortable beds and great location.

Alicia was wonderful to work with; prompt communication and flexible with our schedule. We will stay here again if the opportunity arises. Thank you!

We had a great time at the Lotus House. Barrie & Tod have created a lovely place for you to enjoy. We loved that the kitchen and outdoor grill are perfectly primed for use. The evenings and mornings were as quiet as anything I have ever experienced, very relaxing. The house setting, nestled into the pine forest overlooking the nearby Rollins Reservoir was beautiful. We also enjoyed taking the canoe out onto the reservoir in the early morning to experience the shifting light over pristine waters before others appear. The house is a 10-15 minute drive to the town of Grass Valley and be sure to visit the fascinating Empire Mine for a gold rush experience. 5 miles further is another gold rush town, Nevada City.

Barrie and Todd were wonderful hosts. They we very prompt and friendly in responding. The house had everything we needed and more. This place is the perfect getaway in a beautiful location. They made it easy to escape!

Will add my voice to the rave reviews that this home has received! It is a gorgeous home and the perfect spot for a weekend retreat. House is well stocked with everything one needs for a relaxing weekend off the grid. There are some wonderful roadside stores in the area, great hikes, and beautiful lake. Highly recommend the lake house!

Barrie and Tod have an incredible house with floor to ceiling views of majestic trees and the lake just a few steps away. Tod was a great remote host who checked in with me throughout the weekend to make sure everything was going smoothly! My dog had the best time running in their thoughtfully provided dog run and we had a lovely time hiking the trails together. We saw deer in abundance the whole weekend and an owl serenaded us at night. We were there for stormy weather - rain and snow, and nothing could have been more relaxing. High points: they had a great dvd movie selection, the softest sheets and one of the more comfortable beds I've ever slept on! The kitchen is well appointed for real cooking - it was the most glamourous off the grid experience I have ever had! If you're bringing friends along they have two amazing leather couches that provide additional sleeping space - I can't wait to return for summer weather!

We enjoyed our stay in the Lotus lake house. It's a unique place in a fantastic location. Very quiet, with great lake views and close to the nature. This place features a truly exceptional modern and sustainable architecture. Our hosts were very friendly and responsive. We will definitely like to come back.

We loved this quiet get-away. Tod was super accommodating, and at the cabin, was a lot of information, as well as board games, dvds, music (because there is no internet connection at the cabin). It really felt like everything we needed was there, just bring our food and clothes! We were also surprised to find a small canoe we could use. My husband is an experienced canoer, so we were able to take it out a little. Super nice. Would definitely recommend!

My fiance and I loved staying at Barrie and Tod's house. We celebrated our engagement here and it was just what we wanted. The lake was beautiful, the canoe was fantastic, and the privacy was perfect - a very romantic place to stay. We really loved the fenced in yard/deck for our little doggie. We couldn't imagine that being any better. We hope to be back!!!

Wonderful retreat! Beautiful house and peaceful setting for a midweek or off season visit.

My stay was Lovely , and Franceska was a fine host.

Franceska's place was absolutely divine. Gorgeous and spacious. Super centrally located. So close to the Briar Patch, best co-op ever. Franceska was super easy to get in touch with. I highly recommend this space.

Franceska was a wonderful host! This house is incredible!!! It's so spacious and the openness creates such beautiful energy. The hardwood floors are gorgeous and the shower a reeeeaaal treat! The kitchen was my favorite place to play in as the design is artful and spacious. I would recommend this place to all people visiting gold country as it is so conveniently located yet you feel privacy and have the enjoyment of porches and a nice accent trees to feel nature.

This house is amazing! The house looks very nice in the pictures, but even they don't do it justice - it's spacious, gorgeous, and well decorated! Everything in the house is new, shiny, and well laid out. We loved her kitchen layout so much that we've decided to some day build the same kitchen in our future home! There are two separate (large) living rooms, one with carpet and one without, which was pretty nice if we needed space from each other. The bedrooms are large and clean. We had our baby sleeping in the upstairs room - it was so far away that we could hang out downstairs without waking him. Franceska was professional and available but left us alone to do our own thing, which we really appreciated. Fantastic value for this luxury house!

Open, spacious, well lit home. Close to stores and restaurants. Short drive to downtown Grass Valley and Nevada City. Easy communication with host. Our teens had upstairs to themselves and we grown-ups enjoyed having the main floor. Looking forward to our next visit.

I can honestly say that this was the nicest Airbnb space I've ever stayed in! It is a new (or updated) home that is open, light, bright, clean, nicely decorated, with LOTS of space, a fully equipped kitchen, 2 sweet decks in the back and a great vibe. Since we were a party of 4 (2 couples) I loved the separation of space, with 2 levels and a bedroom and full bath on each level. We took advantage of the kitchen, cooking our breakfasts and some lunches there, and eating either on the back deck or nice dining area in the house. Franceska provided lots of great books, and the house is conveniently located right near a shopping area and the freeway, yet was amazingly quiet and peaceful. The internet works well, which was a relief! Both levels of the house have back decks looking out to the peaceful backyard. Very relaxing. And the upper level has a huge loft area the size of a large living room, that is carpeted and perfect for doing yoga. This place was a winner in all ways.

This house is even more beautiful in person! It is very spacious, beautifully decorated, and amazing to wake up with a beautiful sunrise from the master bedroom. We had a wonderful time & Ildiko was a great host! She kept in touch with me and made sure we checked in ok. Absolutely would recommend this place to anyone looking to relax in a peaceful environment!

My husband and baby and another couple w a 7 month old really enjoyed our stay at this retreat house. It was perfect for families with kids, as each bedroom was in a far corner of the house. The place was very clean, just gorgeous architecture, with beautiful valley views. The kitchen was off the main great room, which made chatting and visiting easy and fun. The beds were super comfortable-- and the 3 fireplaces made it a wonderful winter retreat- even though there wasn't any snow. We couldn't find matches so we texted Ildiko and she brought them over 10 minutes later and offered to help us with the fireplace. Very kind and very responsive hosts. We'd highly recommend this house and would be interested in returning in the summer and checking out the pool!

We felt totally welcomed by Ildi when we got to her fabulous home. She showed us around the house and where everything was. It was absolutely perfect for our family of 5 for the 3 days that we were there. There was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. And we were able to be in touch with Ildi if we had any questions about anything at all which was wonderful. The scenery from the decks is absolutely glorious. There is no doubt that we will go back there some day if we ever have the chance.

Ildiko is a warm and welcoming host and the home is beautiful. A perfect retreat for a friends weekend. Great kitchen, lovely views, luxurious feel. Thank you!

Ildi's home is lovely and she is a fabulous host. She greeted us upon arrival and had delicious fresh watermelon waiting! The home is spacious with bedrooms spread out, allowing for privacy and quiet. The best part is the expansive deck overlooking the valley. We had a wonderful time exploring the Yuba river!

Our stay hosted by Ildiko and Ken was very nice. Upon arrival the power was out but they had a generator and gave us good instructions on it's use and had a warm fire to greet us. Luckily the power returned during the nite. The location was very private and we enjoyed an easy day trip to Lake Tahoe from here. The house had everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here.

Ildiko was delightful. She interrupted her hiking vacation to use a pay phone to make sure we got in. And the home is clean and artistically furnished. The only negative is the lack of a bbq but we managed nicely in the kitchen.

Ildi’s house in Grass Valley was a true gem for our New Year’s Eve mountain getaway.  The house is perfect for a family/friend vacation nestled in the hills with amazing views from almost anywhere in the house.  The master bedroom was recently renovated and you can truly appreciate all the thought and detail that went into it.  Your pick of three fireplaces - the common area, the master bedroom or the bedroom suite downstairs.  Fully stocked kitchen, lots of outdoor space.  It was also a pleasure to meet Ildi and her husband - very warm and helpful hosts.  Ildi greeted us with a plate of freshly baked cookies.  We would LOVE to stay again and couldn’t recommend it enough.

A wonderful serene space, perfect for us... Super comfy beds... Janice was helpful and accomodating. We only stayed one night, but it would be a sweet place to stay awhile :)

The Sunshine House is worthy and then some of all the positive reviews here. Really great value and serene location, would definitely stay again (and will book Janice's therapy service too next time..). It's perfectly basic and cozy and comfortable.

Quail strutting by all in line, deer oblivious to the humans watching through the kitchen window, what more could we ask for? We may want to stay again soon. Thank you very much.

We absolutely love the sunshine house!! Beautiful nature, gorgeous decor, and super cozy!

Thank you, Janice and Jim. Your house is a real retreat. We had a such a great time that we look forward to coming again sometime soon!

Janice and Jim's Sunshine House was a perfect, private retreat for my and my husband's trip to visit family in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area. First, this house is aptly named! It is modern, clean and comfortable. Second, I love the big windows overlooking nature -- no houses or buildings in sight! The house is on a very quiet street in a rural neighborhood. And third, it is much more than a house, the property includes walking trails, a well-engineered pond, a pretty patio with grill, and hammock and swings. Janice is very accessible, willing to help you get settled when you arrive. She and Jim are ideal hosts. I highly recommend the Sunshine House!

My wife and I, and our two adult children, spent 4 delightful days at the Sunshine Valley house. Janice and Jim communicated well with us prior to our arrival as well as greeting us upon arrival and answering all our questions. During our stay, they were available to answer questions about the home, the area, and more, as needed, all in a warm and helpful manner. The home was even more attractive than the photos portrayed. The setting was beautiful and we had easy access to the many attractions of the area. We highly recommend this as a peaceful, relaxing place to stay.

The sunshine house is a beautiful, relaxing retreat nestled deep into gold country. We had a group of nine people here and all slept very comfortably, cooked delicious meals in the gourmet kitchen, and meditated by the pond every morning. What a rejuvenating weekend. Thank you Janice and Jim!

Such a beautiful quiet place nestled in the woods. Uta & John are great hosts. The guest house is very comfortable, cozy, and well equipped. They are close enough to town to enjoy all of what Grass Valley and Nevada City have to offer. Or, just relax on the property.

Fantastic getaway!!! Our family stayed for three nights between Christmas and New Years to go skiing at Royal Gorge and spend some quality family time. The cottage is the perfect combination of rustic and new, well-stocked and cozy, with two bedrooms upstairs with comfy queen beds plus a cute twin sleeping nook (the younger kids fought over who would get to sleep there!) Uta and John are the *nicest* people and were the perfect hosts, very responsive without intruding on privacy at all. The country property is beautiful, including a lovely pond and a loop hiking trail through the woods and neighborhood behind the cottage that is paralleled by an irrigation canal with pretty reflections of the trees. Nevada City and Grass Valley are only a few minutes away. Perfect base to explore Gold Country in summer or ski/sled in winter at Royal Gorge, Sugar Bowl or Boreal (an easy hour drive from the cottage) without fighting snow on the drive there and back to the Bay Area. Thank you John and Uta!!!

About 4 miles to both Nevada City and Grass Valley, this retreat cottage was a joy for my group. Uta and John are in the home nearby, and with 8 year old Max, they are sometimes tending to the chickens and available for a morning or afternoon chat. Private, but not isolated - just the right mix for us! The grounds are lovely, the cottage cozy, clean and attractive -- we enjoyed our stay here very much and would come again!

We had a great time staying at Uta and John's cottage. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and well stocked with amenities (kitchen ware and spices, linens, shampoo/conditioner) and even toys for the baby we took on the trip! The fireplace was cozy and kept us warm all night. There is a wonderful trail in the back that we walked on a couple times. The location is very quiet, woodsy and scenic. Uta was so accommodating and quick to respond to any questions. We recommend this place to people looking to stay in Grass Valley. Thanks again and we'll see you next time!

Patricia is just lovely! Before even arriving, she made every effort to make sure I was taken care of, from breakfast requirements to inquiring about time of arrival. Upon finally arriving, she welcomed me and introduced me to my room and the amenities. The room itself is everything you expected from its description - warm, cozy and well kept. Kitchen and bathroom alike. Location is ideal if you're thinking of hitting North Tahoe (1 hour) and also provides ample opportunity to explore neighbouring towns such as Nevada City. A fantastic getaway if you just want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life for a couple of days.

Prompt communication, accurate info and direction, willingness to accommodate a traveler, nice clean cozy place. Thanks, Patricia!

Patricia was a wonderful host! We spent two nights in her cozy little room, and had a great time. She gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner, as well! We would definitely want to stay here again next time we're in the area.

Patricia was a wonderfully kind and friendly host. She made sure that we had everything we needed, and gave us a nice brunch recommendation in town that we enjoyed. The bed was very comfortable and we felt well rested for our trip to Northstar. Her cat is friendly as well.

Patricia was friendly and the room and bed were wonderful. The house is close to Grass Valley/Nevada City.

Patricia was a very accommodating and thoughtful host. She helped me find a spot for dinner nearby, and the continental breakfast was perfect for getting started in the morning. Her home is in a beautiful, quiet setting, and the room is very comfortable, with a great patio just outside. And Simba (the cat) was really sweet! Great stay.

My experience at Patricia's home was exactly what I had hoped for! She provided a clean, comfortable place for me to relax and rejuvenate. Patricia was very welcoming and hospitable, as well. I would definitely stay at her home again!

Patricia is a wonderful host who did a great job making us feel comfortable and welcome during our visit to Grass Valley. The room provided is cozy and her home has convenient access to all of the activities you might want to enjoy in the area.
