Just 2.5 miles from downtown Nevada City you'll find Baby Bear's Cottage, a one bedroom, one bath, with your own private hot tub that has a view of the waterfall and pond, on 5 wooded acres adjacent to Papa Bear's Timber Lodge (listing # 46584). This cozy log cottage can be rented alone or for additional space when renting Papa Bear's Lodge. It is an ideal location for relaxing or exploring Nevada City , Grass Valley, or the South Yuba River, both only minutes away by car.
Please note that we are in an area that cannot receive a fast iternet signal. There is wifi calling, and you can check emails etc., but streaming will be pretty impossible. There is a TV with satalite reception. The kitchen features a small stove with oven, microwave, and 3/4 size refrigerator. The bedroom boasts a comfortable king bed and the sounds of the waterfall directly outside. The air is fresh with pine and cedar scent. You are invited to hike their trails if it is the off season, (Camp is is session from May -August) by stopping in at their office and asking permission.
A $55 cleaning fee and 10% bed tax is charged in addition to the room rate. Extra guest charge for third guest is $15/nt. No pets are allowed in Baby Bear's Cottage for the benefit of our guests who have allergies. Sorry, no exceptions. In the heart of downtown Nevada City (2.5 miles) and Grass Valley (5 miles) you'll find great food, outstanding live theater and wonderful galleries and shops. Travel by car to skiing, river or lake kayaking and swimming. There are many bicycle trails through the surrounding hills and plenty of hiking triails. Local and out-of-town musicians can be heard almost any night of the week at several of the theater venues and restaurants. Check the Chamber of Commerce web site at the bottom of this page for information on the many special events happening in the area.Try your hand at gold panning at the Yuba River, and visit the Historic Empire Mine. This area is ideal for mountain bikers, kayakers and hikers, and, for those looking for a romantic getaway. Lake Vera is a small lake surrounded by summer camps and used exclusively by them. ( Our guests have no access.) Our 3 cabins are located on 5 acres next to Camp Augusta. In the summer months (late May to mid August) you can hear 'happy camp sounds' as children enjoy swimming, zip lining and singing around the camp fire, then off to bed by 9:30, quiet hour. You are invited to hike their trails if it is the off season, (Camp is is session from May -August) by stopping in at their office and asking permission. This is the perfect spot to unwind, and although Papa Bear's Lodge is next door, their activities and outdoor area and porch are away from Baby Bear's Cottage. The waterfall goes 24 hours so if you are sensitive to water sounds at night, this may not be the place for you. On a dark night you can see the milky way. You may see a deer or two wander through the yard. this is definitely a special place.

    We had a fantastic mini family getaway in Baby Bear. Even though we crammed two kids in last minute, the host was extremely accomodating and our stay was amazing. It was hard to leave.

    We enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately, the power went out and we had to go to Grass Valley to purchase a flashlight as there were none in the cabin. It might be a good idea to have one available in the winter months. The cabin is cute and cozy and we would stay there again.

    The cabin is great! We absolutely love it, especially my mother. We have stayed a few times for her birthday now. We only regretted not booking for a third day. Thank you very much for having us. I apologize for leaving my mom’s cheesecake in the fridge when we left.

    The little log cabin was perfect for me and my teen daughter. It felt private, the surroundings were beautiful. It was in a perfect location to explore the Yuba and Nevada City. The kitchen was basic but it had everything we needed.

    Baby bear’s cabin was exactly what my partner and I needed- 4 days of peaceful quiet and relaxation in the woods. The house was clean, quiet and romantic. Couldn’t have asked for a better getaway.

    The cabin was spotless and absolutely wonderful—located in a charming neighborhood just minutes from downtown Nevada City. It was also a perfect base for visiting our favorite Yuba River swimming spots like Bridgeport and Oregon Creek, both about 30 minutes away. The hosts were incredibly trusting and provided clear, helpful instructions we could refer to during our stay. The hot tub was clean, and when paired with the enchanting grotto, created a magical nighttime atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

    We booked last minute and heard back quickly with clear instructions. Only thing that would have made it clearer is describing which door to use for baby bear or a sign on the door, but it was pretty easy to figure out. Others have said the place is updated, so even better than the pictures. It’s super and a perfect getaway for two.

    Stayed in Baby Bear (there’s also a papa bear and mama bear cabin on property. Very sweet cabin for 2 people . Owners were lovely and responsive. Cabin is cute and, although basic, is perfect for two people. Nice hot tub. Great location.

    When I arrive at a VRBO it is and was a beautiful setting. But one thing I really want clean are my floors. I noticed in the cabin of baby bear dog prints and what looked like unclean floors so I decided to get down on hands and knees and do a little cleaning to see just how dirty it was. I ended up cleaning the kitchen tile floor and the wood floor where we spent most of our time as carpet was in the bedroom. They were quite dirty. It’s like they had forgotten to clean it for sometime. The throw carpets were pretty dirty, so I put towels down all around so we could walk on the clean towels. we felt the bedding was a bit on the old side and needed some refreshing stains on the bedspread, etc. But other than that we slept like babies, the scenery is gorgeous with a waterfall in the back and a private Jacuzzi. It was close to hiking, which we loved! We would like to return if we felt the cleaning was better as the setting truly was beautiful and very private.
