About this house rental

Nestled on a stunning 200-acre ranch, this expansive property offers the perfect blend of natural beauty & comfort. Located just a short drive from the historic towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley, this exceptional retreat features a spacious main house, two charming bungalows, and a large cottage, all thoughtfully designed to accommodate families, large groups, or anyone seeking a peaceful escape into nature.

The main house is a true work of craftsmanship, built by expert woodworkers and featuring a remarkable floor-to-ceiling library constructed entirely from wood. With 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the house is both spacious and inviting. For larger groups or families, the unique bunkhouse behind the main house sleeps up to 11 guests.

The large cottage offers an equally spacious and cozy option for additional guests, with its own distinctive charm. Whether you’re staying in the main house, the bungalows, or the cottage, you’ll enjoy a rustic yet well-appointed atmosphere that blends beautifully with the natural surroundings.

The property is an outdoor paradise, perfect for those who love nature and outdoor recreation. Take a half-mile hike through the woods to discover the serene river that runs through the property, offering the perfect spot for reflection or adventure or a swim in the warm months.

For family fun and relaxation, the property boasts a hot tub, a fully-equipped outdoor grill for summer cooking, and multiple recreational courts—including tennis, volleyball, and basketball. The fresh-water pond is perfect for swimming in the summer months while the outdoor fire pit invites you to gather with friends and family under the stars. The vast landscape offers endless opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching, and simply enjoying the tranquil beauty of the property.

From every window, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of rolling hills & big sky. The property is gated for privacy and security, ensuring a peaceful and safe environment for your stay. Whether you're relaxing inside or outside, the panoramic views will constantly remind you of the natural beauty that surrounds you.

Animal lovers will feel right at home with the resident horses, donkeys, and goats. Take the opportunity to interact with the animals, feed them, or simply enjoy their presence as part of the authentic country experience. We ask that children are always accompanied by an adult and your dog is on a leash when interacting with the animals.

With accommodations for up to 15 guests, this ranch is ideal for family gatherings, special occasions, or simply a quiet retreat with friends. The large, well-stocked kitchen and expansive dining area provide the perfect setting for shared meals, while the stone fireplace in the main house offers warmth and ambiance during the colder months. Air conditioning ensures your comfort throughout the summer heat.

A caretaker lives nearby on the property and is available to assist with any needs, ensuring your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

We do not host weddings on the property unless it is a small wedding - 40 people or less.

second year in a row our extended family of 13 visited pop's place for a week of fun. weather was fantastic and we felt we knew our way about having stayed last year. the pond had changed a bit. the zip line was taken down, for insurance reasons i'm sure. there were no longer any cat fish in the pond, which disappointed our little fishermen, but they still had great fun bouncing on the tethered trampoline and taking the row boats out. we would highly suggest this wonderful paradise. a chance to get into the country without being too far from home.

We stayed 3 nights in this beautiful home in May of 2024 to host a family celebration. The weather was perfect and the property was gorgeous. The trees & flowers were blooming and everything was a gloriously green. There are two adorable bungalows with their own bathrooms located on the grounds. There’s also a large cottage room that’s connected to the main house with a huge bathroom and walk-in closet. For fun there’s a volleyball court, tennis court, basketball court, a lake you can swim in, not to mention an awesome library! In the evenings we hung out by the firepit, barbecued & enjoyed the beautiful night. It was a magical 3 day weekend with my family and we can’t wait to book another trip next year!! The owner and caretaker were great with communication & were so welcoming. Absolutely love this place, it deserves 5 stars for sure!!

Once you arrive, you never want to leave. This place is close to many things, but it is the location that feels most isolated from the world that we've ever spent time in.
