Great stay!

We love the location and charm of this classic motel. The folks who run it are lovely people, too! Plus, it's very pet friendly. Our room came with a dog bowl, towel, biscuits and doggie bags, and there is a nice lawn in the center of the court. This was our second stay here, and we'll definitely stay there again!

Cutest little place!

I was for a place about an hour away to hunker down and get some work done. The place is really cute, has a nostalgic cabin feel and walking distance to old town Nevada City. I stayed in the Winter room which had the cutest little kitchen. Oh and its dog friendly with special towels, treats, poop bags and bowls for them. Wifi wasn't that strong but I bet not a lot of people go there to do work. Ha! I would go again but not to do work.

Problem well managed

The room had a non-functioning refrigerator and they cheerfully gave me a pleasant upgraded room, #3. Side note, room 3 1/2 is quite small with twin beds, but nicely done. Pleasant owners.
