Cute, clean and friendly. Great location, walking distance to Nevada City, but very quiet. Loved the outside sitting area with a water feature. I would stay here again.

Cutest little place!
I was for a place about an hour away to hunker down and get some work done. The place is really cute, has a nostalgic cabin feel and walking distance to old town Nevada City. I stayed in the Winter room which had the cutest little kitchen. Oh and its dog friendly with special towels, treats, poop bags and bowls for them. Wifi wasn't that strong but I bet not a lot of people go there to do work. Ha! I would go again but not to do work.

Outside Inn brought the outside in - beautiful
This place was so cute! We had a queen in the main room and a twin in the alcove. My 13 year loved the alcove. The room was so adorable and so was the Inn. We will be back.

Motel gem
Awesome little motel run by a very kind and welcoming couple- very clean and tidy- we had a great stay- our room was on small side but perfect for us. Nice picnic/park area in middle of the grounds with beautiful gardens.Would highly recommend.

Memorial Day Weekend 2024
We stayed in 'The Cabin '. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The cabin had a small yard and patio that was great for having some wine and cheese. The kitchen it was stocked with some basic utensils and the 2 burner stove worked great to cook a little breakfast. Great location because it's only a 7 minute drive to either Nevada City Fairgrounds or downtown Grass Valley city. However downtown Nevada City is within walking distance of the motel. Go straight down Pine Street about 1 mile. But if you drive remember to bring quarters for the parking meters. Parking meters are free on Sundays.

The owner of the property was so friendly and welcoming. She gave us plenty of pointers for shopping/food/hiking to make the most out of our time there. Pet friendly, the owner even provides a food bowl and treats for the furry friends! Definitely worth a visit!
