About this bed and breakfast

Away from the city lights, yet just a few miles from downtown Grass Valley and Downtown Nevada City is the Bear Den BnB. We are nestled in a wooded three acre parcel. Our BnB is right in the heart of the Gold Country with many Historic places to visit. Snow skiing resorts are just an hour away. There are many lakes where you can enjoy water sports and hiking. You will find a book in your room that has listed many hiking trails complete with trailhead, mileage elevation and points of interest. If you are into wine tasting there are lots of wineries to explore.
The room is decorated in Black Bear upscale décor with private entrance. You will enjoy a private bathroom, microwave, refrigerator, free Wi-Fi, internet TV, coffee, tea, hot coco or cappuccino in the room. The room has a new queen sized bed, vanity with bench, rocker recliner, full length mirror, ceiling fan, heating /air conditioning and private access to our sunroom with pool table.
Also to anyone who has cell phones, pads/tablets and PCs, are you always searching for an outlet to plug your devices into for charging. The three end tables in the Bear Den each have a charging station with two 110 volt outlets and two USB ports. That provides you with a total of six 110 volt outlets and six USB ports! No scrounging around on your knees looking for a place to plug into— it’s all right there and easily accessible.
Outside amenities included are: Bar-B-Q with burner, sink, fireplace, eating area, Koi pond and hot tub. Also included in your stay is a Continental Breakfast with a variety of foods to choose from. Breakfast will be served at the time that you request (between 7 & 9 AM).
Safety is very important to us, so to ensure your safety while you’re here, there is a Carbon Monoxide alarm, smoke detector, fire extinguisher, emergency light and first aid kit all located in the room. We are also sticklers for cleanliness! Fresh sheets and towels are provided for each new guest. Additional linens are always available on request.
If you are celebrating a special occasion, we are glad to decorate or arrange anything you might need. Should you have a desire to have a massage while you're at the Bear Den, we can offer you a discount when you book with Aloha Healing Touch Massage.
If you're a couple who wants to get away for some private time, we're the right pace. Many of our guests will eat their breakfast by the Koi pond, take long hot tubs and sit in front of the outside fireplace for hours sipping on their favorite beverage.
I truly enjoy the holidays. We celebrate something special every month. There will be decorations and special little surprises in your room. We also provide breakfast between 7 and 9 am.

We are sorry, but due to host allergies, we are exercising VRBO's exemption and can not accept service animals.

All that’s left is to make your reservation! We’re waiting to be the best host possible!

With a cozy room for sleeping, a sunroom for relaxing and playing pool, a large patio with fireplace, a private hot tub, and a gorgeous garden and koi pond to enjoy, what more could you want? Gracious and helpful hosts? Done. If you are in the Grass Valley area and want a peaceful and private stay, this is the place! And you are offered a lovely continental breakfast each morning. We plan on staying with Julie and Ken again. One note: there is limited storage space in the bedroom/bathroom unit, so plan accordingly. Best stay we have had on VRBO yet!

What a lovely experience! From top to bottom, Julie and Ken made the experience so wonderful. They put up a sign for our anniversary! Such a sweet touch. They very much respected our privacy and gave great recommendations. Breakfast was such a nice experience as well, felt like a true bed and breakfast. Would happily come again!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The hosts were gracious, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The home itself was beautiful and very well maintained. The hot tub and game room were excellent amenities and truly enhanced our experience. We would gladly return and highly recommend this property.
