What guests think
At Piety Hill Cottages, travelers highlight clean, thoughtfully remodeled motor-court cottages with minimalist decor, very comfortable beds, and easy contactless check-in, alongside a quiet setting near downtown that many find walkable while others prefer a short drive.
Basic kitchenettes, good in-room coffee, easy parking, and a small courtyard add convenience, though a few units show limitations or minor maintenance needs. Some guests note very small bathrooms or compact rooms, occasional bright light through non-blackout curtains, or noisy HVAC, but overall comfort is strong. Expect a simple, quiet base close to Nevada City’s center.

Room needed some repairs (peeling wallpaper, microwave plate not spinning etc) and renovations (curtains not blocking the morning sun) but it was a cute and quaint place. I’d consider going again because the location is very convenient. Check in was clear and easy. Lots of nice parking.

Beautiful little courtyard for shade and sun. Property exactly as described. Quiet area. Carports for each cottage. Short drive to restaurants/shopping. Easy check in/out. Bed was very comfortable except a little high for me after hip surgery. Great communication with host. We chose this area as it was near the venue we were attending.

Rooms were clean. It is an older establishment so i wasnt expecting much but it is clean with amenities the same as a high end hotel. They have a courtyard with table and chairs and that is kept clean. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was nice. The kitchenette was great. Close to town.

This is an old style motor court inn that’s been lovingly updated by new younger owners. Each cottage has a little kitchenette that has everything you need (except a toaster) They package good coffee instead of those miserable packets or pods…and mini half and half’s. The mini split HVAC noise is a bit loud but there’s a ceiling fan and good cross ventilation. The bed is perfect. We look forward to trying some of the new rooms as they modernize.

Stayed once before, 7 years ago. Liked it and came back for more. A pleasant location, approx. .75 of a mile from central Nevada City. Comfortable 60's auto court cottages. Quiet, clean, with easy check in, without an employee. Ample instructions insured easy check-in. Unit was clean with functioning devices (I.E. fridge, microwave, television and remote, coffee maker and lighting. Only coplaints are toilet seat needed tightening, and no running water in kitchen. Signs alleged a future kitchen improvement and additional bedroom. Overall, quite happy with accomodations and wiuld stay again.

This property is one of a kind! By far one of the cleanest places I have stayed and so welcoming. We had a mix up with our reservations so we only got to stay 1 night instead of 2, in the Daphne cottage but it was wonderful. I wouldn’t recommend walking into town from the cottages, it’s a bit of a walk, down hill going but up coming. But a very short drive, we drove into town twice and it was worth it. The manager or owner, not sure which, but she was a delight, helpful from the second I realized something was wrong with our reservation and even more so to help fix the problem! Even noticed our room was still rather cold around 10pm and brought us a space heater…it was a cold evening. I’ll definitely be looking forward to staying here again and they’re dog friendly if you need it!

Room was great for what we needed. Bed was very comfortable with good linens. Bathroom was extremely tiny to the point where you had to sit sideways on the toilet because there isn't enough leg room. It didn't really bother us though, although a larger person could have some difficulty with it.

Cute but not as pictured. Room was very small no room for luggage or anything else. Bathroom was so small that average sized person had to leave door open use it. Kitchenette was definitely not functional. Refrigerator would hold almost nothing the little space didn’t even have a light. Not worth price.

The first two nights we stayed in Cedar cabin which is large and renovated - super comfortable, loved the simple modern decor. The couch wasn't comfortable though. The bed was super comfy. I made a booking mistake and the staff was able to accommodate us in one of their unrenovated cabins - very cozy and had everything we needed. It was run down but clean and comfortable. We LOVED our stay at Piety cottages and the staff are great.

Quiet, clean, with easy check in, without an employee. Ample instructions insured easy check-in. Unit was clean with functioning devices (I.E. fridge, microwave, television and remote, coffee maker and lighting. Only coplaints are toilet seat needed tightening, and no running water in kitchen. Signs alleged a future kitchen improvement and additional bedroom. Overall, quite happy with accomodations and wiuld stay again.

Near town, thus walkable, for its many options. Hiking and parks nearby. Each cottage is appointed well in terms of simple usage, not overdone. 2nd visit here, where we met some out of town friends, & everything worked out fine. Great coffee for their provided coffeemaker.

Piety Hill Cottages is a cute adorable place. Our room had been refurbished and it was a nice place to stay while visiting Nevada City. Only about .6 miles from downtown making it a good walk to start your day. Thank you Piety!

This property is one of a kind! By far one of the cleanest places I have stayed and so welcoming. We had a mix up with our reservations so we only got to stay 1 night instead of 2, in the Daphne cottage but it was wonderful. I wouldn’t recommend walking into town from the cottages, it’s a bit of a walk, down hill going but up coming. But a very short drive, we drove into town twice and it was worth it. The manager or owner, not sure which, but she was a delight, helpful from the second I realized something was wrong with our reservation and even more so to help fix the problem! Even noticed our room was still rather cold around 10pm and brought us a space heater…it was a cold evening. I’ll definitely be looking forward to staying here again and they’re dog friendly if you need it!

Stayed once before, 7 years ago. Liked it and came back for more. A pleasant location, approx. .75 of a mile from central Nevada City. Comfortable 60's auto court cottages. Quiet, clean, with easy check in, without an employee. Ample instructions insured easy check-in. Unit was clean with functioning devices (I.E. fridge, microwave, television and remote, coffee maker and lighting. Only coplaints are toilet seat needed tightening, and no running water in kitchen. Signs alleged a future kitchen improvement and additional bedroom. Overall, quite happy with accomodations and wiuld stay again.

A great stay! Comfortable cottages, can see the care and thought that has gone into the remodeling. Clean, quiet, nice outdoor seating area, short walk to downtown.

Loved my cottage; easy to find and park, self check-in, coffee maker (not just Keurig); spare, elegant, and modern in its decor and layout. Excellent climate control also.

This is an old style motor court inn that’s been lovingly updated by new younger owners. Each cottage has a little kitchenette that has everything you need (except a toaster) They package good coffee instead of those miserable packets or pods…and mini half and half’s. The mini split HVAC noise is a bit loud but there’s a ceiling fan and good cross ventilation. The bed is perfect. We look forward to trying some of the new rooms as they modernize.

Cute, comfortable, little auto court -- beautifully updated while retaining the charm of the era when it was built. -- This area is lovely - and everything convenient, within walking distance. Downtown Nevada City has great restaurants and shops -- also retaining the charm of past eras.

Highly recommend Piety Hill Cottages. They have been nicely renovated and were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We stayed in a one bedroom cottage that had two mini splits - one for the bedroom and one for the living room (which can also be set up for sleeping). The bed was very comfortable and had nice linens. There was plenty of hot water and the shower had great water pressure. We could easily walk to town in about 12 minutes, yet the cottages are set back in a quiet residential neighborhood. Would be glad to return someday!

Bed was great! Little fridge was full with someone else’s old food that we had to deal with. Annoying light above the front door on ALL NIGHT, probably 7 feet from my head. Hard to sleep with that, no switch to turn it off. Low water pressure in shower. Fridge was too small to hold a 1 liter water bottle and was stuck at 50 degrees. Never got check-in email, so had to call (they were super friendly and helpful).
