About this house rental

Good vibes abound in this Historic Downtown Grass Valley cottage. The Prospector's Cottage was built during the gold rush but has undergone a complete renovation to give it a modern feel while retaining its historic charm. Have a drink and relax on the front porch overlooking the neighborhood. Enjoy the Sierra foothills weather in the spacious outdoor dining and living areas. Walk to the many shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes or gather with friends in the bright & open kitchen/dining room. The house was built in 1880, but has a bright, modern, rustic feel throughout. It is about 1379 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The kitchen and dining room are in one larger space that is great for groups. The kitchen is well appointed for your vacation meal prep needs with new Bosch & LG appliances There are nice outdoor gathering areas for when the weather is nice. One bathroom is newly renovated with a spa like shower and the other retains its historic charm with a clawfoot tub / shower combination. Each bedroom has blackout shades and two of the bedrooms have remote work desk areas. The main bedroom has a standing desk. The WiFi is super fast so you can stay connected to your work while enjoying the Sierra foothills. The living room has a Samsung smart TV and a Roku that you can use to stream any content that you have access to. Guests have private access to the entire property with the exception of the detached garage which is used for storage. The property is set-up for self check-in, and there is a local co-host available if needed. We are a couple of blocks from historic downtown Grass Valley. It is a quiet neighborhood with houses from the late 1800's and early 1900's. Walk to some of the best cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops in the county. The streets are narrow in this neighborhood and not suitable for a large RV. Full-size pickups or vans will fit just fine. We love to park at the property and walk. There are many great places in walking distance. There is parking space for 3 cars in the driveway. The driveway for the house is off of Harper St., and is easier to approach from behind the house. As a result, we suggest driving past the house on Washington St, and then going around the block (see our guidebook). This is a quiet close-knit neighborhood. Please be respectful of our neighbors.

This is our second stay - the amenities are wonderful, it feels so nice and homey. Both times the house was spotless and stocked with everything we needed. We live to sit on the porch and enjoy the sunset, and so convenient to everything. Hoping to return soon. It is definitely our top pick in Grass Valley.

Great location, close enough to town to walk to food, but quiet enough for easy enjoyment.

My family, including kids, grandma, and our dogs, had a great stay. This house itself is very clean, the furniture is very comfortable, and they have many amenities to make a pleasant stay. I personally think this host goes out of their way to be hospitable. The house has many things to show they care and all the amenities of home. The location is also great! It is walkable to the downtown area, and a short drive to many trails. Overall, 10/10 recommend!

We can't say enough about our stay at Prospector's Cottage. The location couldn't be better and the property was clean, modern and sooo comfortable. The large front porch is perfect for a morning cup of coffee and for reading!! We had two dogs, one large and one small, and the owner has made this dog friendly and welcoming!! We will return!!!!
