"Super cute motel not far out of the town. Our room was nice and clean and even had a balcony looking out onto a beautiful sequioia tree. Check in attendant was helpful and friendly. I would stay there again if we go back to visit the area - Grass Valley and Nevada City are really cool."

Harmony Ridge Lodge

Harmony Ridge Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We found the spot last minute due to rain making camping difficult. They were very helpful and accommodating for our late check in. Much less expensive than staying in Nevada City while still being an easy 10 min drive back to town to explore downtown Nevada City and get dinner. In the morning we had a good/filling buffet style breakfast before getting back on the road to explore the country roads and swimming holes. Will be recommending to friends as an easy alternative to camping when exploring the Tahoe National Forest and Yuba River areas."
