We stayed at a quiet and beautiful place with very friendly staff who prepared a nice breakfast. Whenever some items ran out, they promptly cooked more. It was our first time interacting with the staff, and the experience felt entirely different from staying at a big hotel. Even though the room didn't have a TV, we still liked it very much. Since it's not far from Lake Tahoe, we plan to stay here again during the ski season. During our stay, we also had the pleasure of meeting a group of elderly people from Reno and the Bay Area who regularly meet at this lodge every year, with their next gathering scheduled for this August. They enjoyed hiking and chatting together, which further underscored the quality of this lodge.

I like the quiet and woods. It’s 40 minutes from sugar bowl which is great. Love the price for a ski weekend that will sleep two teenagers and myself on the couch comfortably in a spacious suite!

Love to hike or bike?
It's such a cute place. Our room was nice and felt so homey. Love the jetted tub, and there is a very nice hiking/biking trail right in front, too. My only complaint would be that the mattresses were a little hard for my liking. I will be coming back for sure.

Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Feels like being in a large cabin. The property manager, Melissa, is very welcoming, friendly and awesome. She seems more like a family member hosting a visit rather than a lodge manager. Great place for dogs and catching up on reading (since there are no TVs in the rooms).

Our new home away from home
We came to attend the Cornish Christmas in Grass Valley and the Victorian Christmas in Nevada City, in our Victorian finery. The lodge is amazingly beautiful, like a chalet in Aspen, and just inside the Tahoe National Forest, so there are wooded walking/bike trails all over, including one right off the property. The guest rooms are surprisingly large and are stocked with books to read. I love that the shower has a hose for bathing ease. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They made us feel like family, and we enjoyed chatting with them in the living room while petting their kitties. The cook is excellent, and the breakfasts had a lot of variety. We love Nevada City, and visit every few months, so from now on we will consider Harmony Ridge Lodge our home away from home.

Cozy lodge, with cozy cats!
Very cozy and lovely little lodge. I was missing my cats, but the lodge has two very calm and friendly cats that purred for me and sat on my lap while I drank coffee by the fireplace! The room was large, comfortable, and very clean, the forest the place is in is quiet and beautiful, and the staff were wonderfully kind-hearted and genuine. The breakfast was excellent, with hard boiled eggs, belgian waffles topped with cut strawberries and blueberries, bacon, yogurt, fruit and orange juices, and cereal. Overall a very lovely and cozy experience, I highly recommend the Harmony Ridge Lodge!

Beautiful lodge with friendly staff and house cats ! Clean, cozy and comfortable. We wish the breakfast was more plentiful for us late risers, once we got there at 9:30 , a lot of items we were looking forward to , were out.

Ended up going home
This is my second experience with nobody at the check-in desk during a stay at low season, and an equally bad experience. Part of what I'm paying for when I stay in a hotel is front desk service, but it was just keys hanging on the office door and a brief note. There was no hot water (I waited over five minutes with it running), and the "jetted tub" was part of why I chose the place, but when I tried to call the phone number in the note, found out there was no cell service. So I went to sign on to the Wi-Fi specified in the note to find it didn't have internet. As a single woman traveling alone the whole experience felt very insecure (also no privacy lock on the door) and I ended up packing my stuff back up and driving home that night instead of staying over like I'd planned. Also, the lodge with fireplace wasn't available as it was part of the locked office. I was very disappointed since yes, it was a nice big room with a nice view of the woods behind, very clean -- but also, what's with the super thin bedding in a place that gets quite cold at night? There was a cheap comforter in a cupboard but what's wrong with a nice duvet? I hate running the heater all night. So sorry, but thumbs-down for me on this experience.

Home away from home
Harmony Ridge Losge is the perfect get away place. The lodgenis charming, warm & homey & they have 2 resident cats. The room was large & comfy, looking out at the Tahoe National Forest. Closse to Grass Valley & Nevada City but far from the madning crowds. I highly recommend it & will go back! BTW, there is WiFi but no TV. You have to talk ylto people which we did in the lodge at breakfast!

A fabulous place for a nice relaxing stay. Alone or with someone special. Owner was super accommodating and helpful. I stayed with my search dog. They had a special room for me and my K9. We came in later, no problem! Nice spacious room. Fridge and Microwave. Big Bathroom even had towels for my K9 :). Nice touch! Very comfy bed. As a matter of fact, I will have to ask for the brand Mattress! :) Great breakfast, after a great night sleep!

Harmony lodge was very accommodating. Their 5 acres of land was breath taking and made my families trip amazing. Rooms were spacious and decorated with thought and care. As soon as my face hit their pillows, I was out. Most comfortable hotel bed that I’ve ever slept in. Loved the customer service and will for sure be booking a trip to Nevada city just to stay here again. Even book marking it for possible wedding venues for the future.

Nice place
The place was nice, in a lovely setting, although if I go back, it will not be in the winter next time! There were snow flurries when we arrived, and the place was covered in snow the next morning. Thank goodness for the tireless work of the road crews, so we didn't have to stay for several more days. The rooms in our building have a very weird heating system that is rather finicky, and we couldn't figure out how to operate it. Our neighbor gave us his extra space heater. We called the front desk, and the nice lady came up and got the heater to work for us. I had hoped to explore the game room and other parts of the hotel, but we were in a rush to outrun the worst part of the winter storm.

When I arrive at the lodge I was struck how beautiful it was. Sitting just off the road surrounded by pines & some snow still on the ground, it was instantly a peaceful place to land. Clark at the front desk in the main lodge welcomed me warmly, and check in took all of about 5 minutes. My room was large enough for a 4 person family, clean and the bed was super cozy. I would highly recommend this place!

Beautiful property out in the woods. The room was spacious and clean and had lots of extra blankets, which is very useful when you're coming up in the cold months. The person who checked us in, Clark, was super friendly and warm and took great care of us. It's a quiet, romantic little spot with a conventiently close market nearby and a short drive down the road from Nevada City. I will definitely be coming here again in the future. Thank you so much!
