Creekside Paradise. Luxury & comfort on private forest/ parklike grounds

We were really looking forward to spending our Christmas holiday here, and the stay did not disappoint. The home was very nice, comfortable, and welcoming. The host was great — very responsive and quick to reply to our messages. We especially loved the Christmas tree she set up for us and the fresh flowers placed in every room. Those little touches made our stay feel extra special. Highly recommended

Highs: location to nearby family, downtown Grass Valley and proximity to Nevada City. Check in was easy, and check out is noon which is nice. Communication with host was quick & efficient. Table was set for Thanksgiving upon arrival - it was very nice. Lows: you get an idea of the decor from the pictures but, there is so much more. Something on every table, counter or open space. We had to clear off many things to make space. Despite all the lamps the house is very dark. Half way through our stay we were tired of reading by our phone light so we went out and bought two lightbulbs. While we were out we bought a kitchen size trash can (the house came with a small bathroom trashcan for the kitchen). TV is very old and very small, in one room. DirecTv didn't work. None of the bedrooms or bathrooms had adequate light. The heater is very loud. The septic was being worked on and there were large warped planks of wood in the driveway. Fridge is old, ice/water didn't work. Dishwasher has buttons missing. It takes a very long time to get hot water, a circulating pump is necessary for a house this size. The house needs a lot of work to be a proper vacation rental.
