Picturesque and Relaxing
If you want a place to stay that feels like home, somewhere where you can relax, and enjoy the views, this is the place for you. The owners, Ken and Julie, made us feel at home the minute we arrived. They were kind, friendly, and courteous. Their home was beautiful and quiet. They had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. They gave us great suggestions on eating out and places to go. They served a delicious breakfast in the sun room every morning. We look forward to going back to stay there again. Linda and Mark

Wonderful Stay at the Bear Den
Our hosts created a wonderful experience. In addition to our room, they shared a beautiful sunroom and a patio overlooking an attractively landscaped backyard. This included a waterfall and Koi pond. Breakfast was included, which was a special treat. The bear den theme was felt throughout.

We loved our time at Ken and Julie's home in Grass Valley. It's a wonderful setting and excellent getaway, close to everything but still tucked away in the forest where you can get some great downtime. Highly recommend!

A Wonderful Weekend Get Away
Such a lovely home to relax, unwind. Ken and Julie are wonderful hosts, they made sure we have everything we need. The Bear Den room is so cute and comfortable. It was so nice to have breakfast in the sunroom. This is where we spent most of our time, watching TV, playing billiards. I love the privacy of this place; I enjoyed their hot tub as well. Makes you feel like you are away from the city. Location is great, close to restaurants and shopping. We will definitely go back. We so much loved our stay here.

For my husbands birthday I was looking for a place to stay near Grass Valley/Nevada City. This place was perfect! Julie and Ken went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. We enjoyed sitting in front of the fire at night and the delicious breakfast the next morning. Would definitely recommend.

It was a wonderful place to stay and breakfast was quite good. The owners went above & beyond. The property looks a little more remote than it actually is: which turned out to be super convenient for accessing either Grass Valley or Nevada City.

Incredible
First of all, Ken and Julie were absolutely the best hosts. Whatever question we had, they answered. The breakfast they set out each morning was delicious- Julie makes the best blueberry muffins. We had the entire area (sunroom, jacuzzi, barbeque area, outdoor fireplace area, and outside sitting area by the koi pond to ourselves. Everything was super clean. Our bed was comfortable. It is very clear that the hosts love this place and take great care of it. We cannot wait to go back.

A lovely weekend getaway
My fiancé and I had an incredible stay at the Bear Den. We enjoyed the property including the hot tub. The hosts were extremely thoughtful by having a fire set up for us to use, a celebration banner and even a box of chocolates for my fiancé who we were celebrating. We would definitely recommend a stay here. Can’t wait to come again!

A cozy hideaway
My friend and I had a lovely stay here for a small birthday celebration. They added some personal touches with a happy birthday sign and made breakfast in the morning. The owners were so nice and helpful with every request we had. This location is close to amazing food and shopping in Nevada City, as well as hiking and other adventures. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Lovely setting, awesome hosts!
We had an amazing time. This lovely wooded setting was so relaxing and beautiful. We had several soaks in the very nice hot tub. We enjoyed the outdoor seating area with a waterfall and Koi pond. We slept well— the bed was so comfortable! The hosts gave us complete privacy but were reachable when we needed anything. We look forward to revisiting this location in the future.

The property itself is laid out to be very tranquil. The hosts, Ken and Julie are fabulous people and made the stay even more enjoyable. My biggest decision was which part of the yard did I want to settle into. I chose a different part each time and I will be back. Amazing location and hosts.

As a solo guest of the "Bear Den" I felt beautifully welcome and looked after. Julie and Ken, the hosts, have thought of everything. If you would like to chat with them, conversation is marvelously thoughtful and polite. At the same time, they are also highly conscious and careful of not intruding on your time or space. The grounds are wonderfully well-kept and tranquil. You have all the peace and privacy you need to feel at home and unwind. Bear medicine indeed!
