The Diggins

The Diggins, a contemporary dwelling less than 5 minutes from downtown Nevada City by car or a 15 minute walk has everything you need for the perfect getaway. Owned by long time Nevada City residents based in the arts and architecture, the place is filled with art, books, and modern accessories and includes a gas fireplace, full kitchen w/dishwasher, living room, two bedroom, two bath, laundry & a big outdoor patio. Perfect for two couples or a family of four or a visiting artist/professional.

The space
The Diggins is a separate dwelling unit on a 2 acre property where full time residents live in the main house. The property has 5 different species of oak trees, mature gardens and plenty of parking. The dwelling, designed by the resident who is a longtime architectural designer, boasts curved walls, natural light, a great room with a wall of windows that can be shuttered for privacy and a patio with dining and seating areas with a gas fire pit to enjoy the wonderful weather and all the seasons. The Diggins is equipped with Wi-Fi, a smart TV and a desk for those who need to work while they are visiting. Also includes washer/dryer, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, full kitchen including a dishwasher. A great place for a writer's retreat or if you are in town for one of our many film and music festivals too. Only one hour to skiing, 5 minutes from downtown Nevada City and 20 minutes to the Yuba river, the property also has access to a public walking and mountain bike trails.

Guest access
Guests will have private access to the two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with parking in front of the dwelling. The pool and hot tub are not available to guests. We also have a 1971 red VW bus with a double bed that can be parked in front for another single bedroom and a custom designed trailer with a queen size bed. Please email directly for more information.

Other things to note
This is our family home and while we are now mostly empty nesters, friends and family do come and go. If you want total privacy or to be secluded in the forest, this is not the place for you. If you want to be close to town, appreciate contemporary architecture and art and modern accessories and want to hear more about the community and places to eat, shop, walk, hike, ride or see a show, we are your perfect hosts!

One of the Best Vacation Rentals on the Scene
Well over half of the vacation rentals we've stayed in fall far short of the promises implied by their posts. Staying at the Diggins is the exact opposite of that experience. In fact, I'd say the pictures and post don't do give this amazing property and hosts their proper due. Aside from the thoughtful beauty of the construction and interior design, the hosts have impeccable taste in art and music. Additionally, it's also one of the most well appointed rentals I've had the pleasure of staying in. If you're looking at other places for a getaway with a small group of adults your, quest is over. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer place with better hosts at this price point. Simply one of the best vacation experiences we've had anywhere in the world.

Beautiful space close to town
The Diggins were the sweetest hosts & very accommodating. I’m so impressed by the beauty they’ve created on their land. The apartment was gorgeous, I appreciated all the details in the space. The location is amazing, literally minutes from downtown Nevada City but you’re on a lovely plot of land that feels tucked away. I loved that their dog Rocky would come say hello sometimes when I was arriving or leaving, he’s a very friendly dog. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! 10/10 recommend
