Private, very clean, pretty garden, modern nicely decorated, full kitchen and very close to historical Nevada City and Grass Valley. We look forward to going back in the future.
We enjoyed our stay at the Butler cottage so much the first time, we decided to come back for another visit this year. The house is clean, quiet and the bed is comfortable. Fantastic location, too.
This property was great. Its as charming as Grass Valley itself. Clean, comfortable, great neighborhood. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thanks Again Justin & Aldo for hosting us!
We stayed at this great spot last year and we liked it so much we booked again for this year. It was another great experience. Itâs clean and inviting, the location is great. Our little one had the best time at the awesome park just down the street. Thanks again to Justin & Aldo for hosting us once again!
We love this property: clean, quiet, private. We stayed here about 10 years ago and were happy to return. It is stocked with everything you might need from a coffee maker to umbrellas to a noice machine by the bed.
Grass Valley is a cute town with good food and friendly people. We toured the Empire Mine and drove to Bridgeport to see the covered bridge built in 1862.
Perfect. Completely perfect. Immaculately clean, wonderfully and simply decorated, and plenty of lovely details. Excellent location as well. Justin was very responsive via email, and as nice as could be upon arrival. Highly recommend this little gem!
A positive experience with a few minor issues. No satellite TV as was advertised. TV streaming process difficult to navigate. Suggest a railing on the entry steps as a safety issue exists. Very quiet and peaceful spot and no major complaints. We will definitely consider using it again.
We have rented VRBOs from coast to coast and I would rate this house in the top 10 (maybe top 5). Clean and well stocked. Looks like new construction but more than that, much thought have been put into this unit. I appreciate that they charge a lower cleaning fee, as we leave everything really clean and feel like we are getting ripped off with the huge fees that they typically charge. Great KING bed, Hugh end linens, seating is comfortable (in some units this is not the case!). Quiet neighborhood and close to town. Good Keurig coffee maker and plenty of snacks. Lighting was pretty good also (usually NOT the case). We will definitely be back!
Sofa bed was worst ever; most other things were fine
Overall, it was alright, BUT the exception was the sofa bed. It was terrible. The mattress was so thin that the springs and railing punched into my back or sides. The room was almost too small to put a comfortable blow-up mattress on the floor and get back and forth from the bedroom to the toilet. The hosts were nice and easy to deal with, but the whole experience was colored by the BAD BED (sofa bed--other bed was fine).
The cottage was immaculate in every way. Furniture seemed brand new, bedding was top notch, kitchen appliances and everything one would need was right there, bathroom neat as a pin, fresh and clean. The decor was bright and charming, a TV screen in the living and bedroom, even the garden was neat and tidy. Great natural food co-op nearby, great little downtown with plenty of restaurants, even a nice park a few blocks away for hiking. And so rare and refreshing, a minimal cleaning fee. We always leave wherever we stay neat and tidy, and it's frustrating to see properties listed with fees equal to a days lodging.
Recently stayed at the cabin for 4 nights. It was as advertised (or better). Completely self contained and CLEAN. Cleanliness is a big deal for me. Honestly calling it a âcabinâ doesnât do it justice. Itâs more of an apartment with all the modern amenities.
Super easy parking and if youâre looking for quiet and peaceful, this is the place. Already looking forward to my next visit.
This was a perfect small cottage exactly as described. It was literally spotless inside. Itâs a short drive or a 15 minute walk to downtown Grass Valley. There are two parks less than a block away with a huge frisbee golf course
Butler Cottage is extremely well managed and maintained. A well-appointed property: comfortable and immaculately clean. The outdoor area was lovely and relaxing. Hosts were extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive. The basket of snacks was much appreciated. (One very minor suggestion: a robe hook in the bathroom next to the shower would be nice.) If in the area, we will definitely stay here again!
The cottage was very comfortable and well-appointed. It had everything we needed and more. Great location in a quiet neighborhood. Set back behind the main house, surrounded by the garden, it felt very private and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay.
My husband and I were in town for one of my best friends wedding....we arrived Friday evening around 5:30 and Justin the owner was there to greet us...he just happened to be following behind us and he recognized my personalized license plate because we had a conversation about that earlier on the phone...he was very friendly and offered to help us carry our luggage in which I thought was very nice...anyways the little cottage was verryyy comfy cozy and had everything we needed...Sunday on our way out to go home Justin and his partner Aldo were doing some yard work so we stopped to talk for a bit...they are both super friendly and nice too...we would definitely stay there again and recommend anyone who visits Grass Valley to do the same...đ
We were in town for 2 nights for a wedding. The Butler cottage was super cute, cozy, and very clean. The decor was very cool the patio/garden area was charming. The host, Justin, was very flexible. He made an early check in possible despite having back-to-back bookings.
If weâre ever back in Grass Valley, weâll definitely be staying at the Butler Cottage. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Butler Cottage. Very clean space, comfortable bed, and incredibly peaceful outdoor space. We plan to revisit this rental for our next trip to GV.
We purchased this property in 2012 and renovated the cottage the following year. Justin is a voice over actor and has worked on thousands of media projects throughout the years. He also works with a local property management company and holds a real estate broker license. Aldo also works with a local property management company and is a licensed real estate salesperson. We (Justin & Aldo) work together on our own local real estate projects. We've lived in Los Angeles, Houston and now here in Grass Valley, CA. We love to travel and our favorite destination is Maui.
I (Justin) grew up here in Grass Valley. I moved away after finishing community college and never thought I would come back. 2012, after selling our home in Houston, we were looking for places to live and I began looking at places for sale in Grass Valley. I wanted to live in town and be walking distance to the downtown area. We found this property and I fell in love with the location. It was a TOTAL gut-job-remodel. All that hard work, blood, sweat and, yes, tears, was worth it.
We LOVE that our place is so close to downtown Grass Valley, the Nevada County Fairgrounds and Condon Park. The cottage is behind the main house and remains private. During the summer, growing right in front of the cottage are: grapes, blackberries, nectarines, blueberries, plums and peaches.
