Prospector's Cottage

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.
