Nature Lover's Forest Retreat | Rewild Cottage

Absolutely perfect! We needed a quiet retreat to get away from the day to day noise and recenter. This place was everything we wanted and better than we expected. Very clean, nicely remodeled cottage with thoughtful design, super comfortable bed, spacious shower, and extra details like snacks, fresh eggs from their chickens, etc.Truly a 5 star stay!

Absolutely perfect!

I wish I had stayed longer. The space was restful and beautifully appointed. It was easy to find, Andrea's communication made everything so much easier. The space looks as shown. It was clean and modern and truly felt like a special retreat. There was a lot of little things as well in the cottage, that you didn't really know that you needed until you all of a sudden found it. Loved the ease of the gas fireplace, the lighting throughout, the furniture is also comfortable. Rewild Cottage is truly fantastic! Originally I was going to stay closer to either Downtown Grass Valley or Nevada City, but was so glad I opted for this special little place. The cottage is close to everything, but also gives you space from the hustle and bustle!

truly felt like a special retreat

Andrea’s place was an absolute hidden gem! The host was incredibly sweet, and every detail made us feel warmly welcomed. The cottage had everything I needed, from a dog kit to firewood. A cute birthday card made our trip even more special. I highly recommend it to everyone and can’t wait to return soon!

An absolute hidden gem

We had a fantastic time staying at Andrea’s cottage. The space was spotless with thoughtful touches throughout. We were so comfortable and felt right at home. Her recommendations were also great and we felt like we got to see and do so much in the surrounding area

The space was spotless

Andrea's place exceeded our expectations and we have rented Airbnbs around the world. She also was an incredible host and hope to stay there again!
