Property Description
Resident manager ONSITE. Please do not book if you aren’t ok with that.
This is a very special home that is private/gated, but also just a few minutes by car to Historic Downtown Nevada City.
Located just 2.5hrs from San Francisco and the Bay Area, the historic town of Nevada City (and nearby Grass Valley) delights visitors with access to the Tahoe Lake area (50min to Truckee), the Yuba River (10min), historic landmarks, great local shopping, hiking and biking trails.
The 'Round House' is fairly known by many locals as it was a formal gathering space, as a custom-built property sitting on 21 acres with views of the Sierras.
The main home has three round skylighted domes, two wings (3-beds, 2-baths on the west, and 1-bed, 1-bath plus yoga meditation room on the east), and the main 'Great Room' has 19ft-ceilings with a custom-built kitchen, fireplace and attached screen-in porch room that is perfect for family or friend gatherings.
Guests will love having a cup of coffee or a glass of wine in the screened-in porch, or taking a quick respite or workout in the yoga/meditation room.
Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace in the winter, or the hot tub on chilly nights. The pool is salt-water and solar heated, great in most seasons but on the cold days.
This property is great for low-key family gatherings, and has a fully stocked kitchen (blender, waffle maker, coffee maker, utensils, pots/pans and two dishwashers). You need to bring paper towels, ground coffee and your own tupperware.
This is NOT a party house. We belong to an HOA that has strict noise ordinances after 10pm. We also have an on-site manager. She sometimes offers massage therapy. Please inquire at booking for availability.
This is a home that we use as a family regularly, so we ask that guests be respectful of our furnishings. Thank you.
We hope you enjoy your stay!About pets:Pets allowed: dogs less than 20 lbs per pet (limit 2 pets total).About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.There is a pool.

Beware, no AC during summer. Amenities falsely advertised
We stayed at this property in July 2025 for 4 nights. We checked in on day that was over 90 degrees. The house was JUST as hot. We inmediately notified the on-site manager, who assured us that it takes time for the AC to work. Well, the house never got any cooler. We contacted the on-site property manager Erin and owner Gretchen multiple times about the AC. Two days into our stay, the owner sent someone to the house and he said the AC unit was totally broken and needed to be replaced. The owner then texted me saying the AC unit was broken and wouldn't be fixed until after we had left, and that she was willing to "work with me." I said, yes, I would like that. In subsequent messages to her, I also mentioned the dryer and garbage disposal didn’t work. Crickets. NO RESPONSE from her at all. VRBO has been trying to get a hold of her as well, with no success.The property is beautiful and unique, but I can't recommend a place with amenities being falsely advertised. We knew how hot Nevada City gets during the summer, and we chose this place because it was advertised as having AC. Had I known it didn’t have functioning AC, I would never have booked it! Also, the owner offered to work with me, and then disappeared! The house was sweltering the entirety of our stay and the young children who were with us were miserable. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. Book somewhere else!

Not as expected
I rented this house for my dad’s birthday, and unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing. First of all, the AC was broken during a heatwave, and it was extremely hot inside the house. We contacted the host, but he refused to fix it, which made our stay very uncomfortable.To make things worse, someone entered the house while we were staying there, which was unsettling and felt like a serious breach of our privacy and security.Before booking, I asked the host if it was okay to celebrate a birthday, and he said it was fine. But once we arrived, he suddenly changed his mind and didn’t let us have the party. It felt like we were being misled.Overall, this was a stressful and frustrating experience — not at all what I expected or paid for. I would not recommend this place.After our stay, he said that we didn’t clean after ourselves but we did and also we paid cleaning fee, we didn’t cause any damage but he said we did damage stuff cause we complained about a lot of stuff ! I don’t recommend at all!!

Beautiful… but
Nice spacious home in a beautiful setting but needs regular maintenance: spider webs should have be cleared (perhaps we were first guests of the summer), washer broke, stove top not clean at arrival, refrigerator not empty at arrival, burned out light bulbs in two of three bathrooms and in living room, A/C didn’t cool house and not all windows opened, microwave not installed in cabinet correctly so using it was awkward, no blow dryers in home, a used towel left hanging in sun room…

Family tim
The roundhouse retreat was perfect for getting our extended family together. Hosts were communicative and friendly and the views were amazing. We'd definitely do it all over again.

Cool, secluded house! Great for friend/family gatherings!
The pictures almost don’t do it justice! A very cool construction with three domes (each absorbs its own sound) with a very spacious, open kitchen-living room area perfect for gatherings.
We were there to celebrate Friendsgiving ( college friends celebrating 16+ years of this get together and 20 years of friendship). Now there are a lot of kids in the mix. We stayed in November. House would be even better in the summer when the pool would be more appealing, but we had a great time enjoying the amazing view and using the sun porch for kid entertainment.
The kitchen has most things needed to prepare a large meal, though there were a few things like a large serving platter, baster, non-stick pans, etc. it did not have. Tons of silverware though! Enough for 25 ppl. Glassware was lacking…
The beds were pretty comfy! Most vacation rentals have horrible beds. All of us agreed the beds were the best we’d experienced at a VRBO.
The bathtub in the Master bathroom did have a weird rust-splattered drip situation… but we didn’t need the tub for anything, so I wasn’t too worried about it. The shower was awesome!
Kids toys (as advertised) were few - especially for smaller children. There were a lot of 1,000-piece puzzles and card games. Not much for those 2-10. That said, plenty of room to run outside and use the swings and the cool swing on the sun porch.
The host on-site was very nice and patient. She was cool about all of the little kids running around. Wifi is needed for service.
