Great spot. I would gladly stay here again if in the area! Diana’s home is beautiful and perfect for a weekend away from the city. Her instructions to find the house were clear.

Nevada City is our favorite place to visit often to getaway from our busy life in the city. We stayed with some friends at Diana’s place. Her place was private, clean, and peaceful. We truly enjoyed our time there, made beautiful memories, delicious food. The hot-tub was very cleaning and perfect to unwind after a full day of hiking. Diana was super responsive and kind to let us checkin early and check out late. If you are a group of 6-7 visiting the area, we recommend staying at her place.

Loved our stay! One of the best hosts I’ve come across. Such a peaceful space that we could tell she spent ALOT of time on. We will be back.

We travelled all the way from Australia for a conference in Nevada City and Diana’s place was absolutely blissful for returning to each day. What an amazing home and gorgeous forest. A beautiful space to breathe out. Highly recommend this haven and I will definitely be returning.
