About this property

Secluded ‘Barn' sleeps 4, updated with full-kitchen, 2-block walk to Downtown.

This charming old barn was recently updated and is now a very comfortable space for a family of 4, or anyone looking for a secluded environment only 2 blocks from Nevada City’s downtown.

Located on a wooded full-acre, the barn with features new stainless steel appliances; a large refrigerator and 4-burner gas stove, dishwasher, and new cabinetry and countertops. The flooring was recently updated, and the bathroom has a large stone-shower stall with glass doors and designer hardware. All new cookware, Restoration Hardware’s 600-threadcount bedding and towels, new flat-screen TV with Direct TV, and a wood-burning stove.

The barn is a two-room suite and features a large bedroom with a new queen-size Beautyrest mattress bed, and also a large comfortable queen-sized pullout couch in living room. There is off street parking onsite, very important as it’s nearly impossible to park in-town during all of Nevada City’s wildly popular events.

Close to downtown
Very clean with a fireplace and comfy bed. If you like to cook there are basic pots and pans but not a lot of tools. No coffee pot but a French press and 2 pour overs with filters. We were not able to connect to Netflix or Hulu. Direct TV had movie purchase options. Overall comfortable stay.

Great getaway in gold country
Easy to find, check-in and gaining entry was easy. Facilities were attractive and clean and adequate for our 3-day self-catering stay, with a modern kitchen area and open, high-ceiling living area, good for a couple but would be tight for any more. We’d say in the top shelf for the area, in a large private garden and very quiet and surrounded by a grove of oaks and pines, but easy walking distance into town. The old Consolidated Dutchwest Federal wood stove was great on a couple of cold fall nights, we had no trouble getting it working. Instructions on where to find wood on the property and providing a baking sheet for the oven to heat our Cornish pasties from a nearby bakery would help. Would definitely return.

Very nice
The only reason I’m giving it four stars Instead if five is because the hot tub is no longer in service but is for some reason still listed when using filters to find a place. Beautiful property and a great host.

About the host

Hosted by Graham Hayes

Host profile image
We are a San Francisco family who fell in love with Nevada City at first sight when dropping our oldest daughter to sleepaway camp on the Yuba River in July of 2013. We stumbled upon 534 Spring Street that weekend, with it's proximity being only a block behind Nevada City's Broad Street commercial district, and 6 miles from the unbelievably beautiful Yuba River, and we knew that this was somewhere we wanted to retreat from our busy city life in San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

The charm of this property is unparalleled. There is a real sense of privacy and seclusion as it's located on a full-acre with fruit and nut bearing trees, vast landscape and an incredible variety of trees and plant life....yet it's only a 5 minute walk to all of the city's awesome cafes and restaurants, theaters, nightlife, hikes, bike trails, and more. We love it!

What makes this property unique

Our entire property consists of a spacious 3-bedroom home with an additional 2-room in-law, a separate garden studio on the side of the house, and also a large 2-room barn on the rear of the lot. All 4 'compartments' of the property have separate entrances and are very different spaces, yet all updated with new flooring, Restoration Hardware linens, towels and cutlery. All new Beautyrest mattresses throughout the property in all bedrooms, and plush down and down-alternative pillows. Comfort abounds in every element of the property. We redesigned the home, barn, in-law, and garden-studio by blending the modern updates of today's style of living with an influx of locally sourced antiques and accessories, maintaining a regard for the property's eclectic and historical 'cabin-like' past, having been built in 1851 by two Irish brothers who 'struck it rich' in the early days of the 1849 Gold Rush.
