Our host were very kind and welcoming. The home was very clean and fresh. Lots of little extras to make our stay very comfortable. The bathroom was squeaky clean with white fresh soft towels. The fenced yard was great for our pup, and we had outside seating to have morning coffee in the quiet little neighborhood

This quaint little cottage under the pines/first? was exactly what I needed for a three-day getaway from Sac...just slept in, read, cooked, and watched movies with my pups and a friend. Everything was impeccable, cleanly to a fault, and utterly gorgeous and adorable. I enjoyed cooking gourmet Italian food and breakfasts in the amazing kitchen (nice gas range!). I really loved the color theming throughout, as navy and butter-yellow are two of my favorite colors. Matthew is very responsive to guests' messages, too, which is always appreciated. I'm in love with this place and will definitely be back!

They took it over the top with all the little things they provided to make you feel at home. Made us feel like kids in a candy store with all the yummy goodies. Very clean and comfortable loved hanging out on the front porch and enjoying all the wild life and humming birds. Thank you for making my husband birthday a memorable one. We will definitely will go back for another enjoyable visit.

Quartz Cottage
The best Vrbo stay! The place was decorated very nice. The antiques in the place was a perfect touch. The owner provided snacks, Coffee & Tea. Matthew communicated with us very quickly on our inquiry. Place was spotless! Who ever cleans for the owner did an amazing job. You would be very comfortable staying here. The outside seating and fireplace table were a nice touch for sitting out.

Golden Experience in Gold Country
We felt fortunate to find this spot on our visit to see friends in Grass Valley. Great location for exploring the area. Enjoyed observing hummingbirds at the porch feeder, especially when they perched in the mature redwood in the front yard. We would choose this property when we visit again.

Perfect 4 Two + dog
This is our second time staying at Quartz Cottage. It's just big enough for my wife and I plus our Labradoodle. With my wife having to use a walker all the time there's just enough room for her to maneuver inside and only a single step to get outside. And the fenced in yard is a plus for letting the dog outside. We can visit friends in the area without imposing on them for a bed. We will be back.

Cute place. Convenient and quiet.
Stayed while at the Carving retreat like others. Two of us. The second bed is a pull out in a bedroom but same comfort as other bed. Lots of snacks, coffee and essentials for a stay. Didn’t cook, but all the stuff is there. If you are there in winter, turn on your heaters in the room. That’s your heat.

Convenient and cute cottage
My 2 adult daughters and I met there for some time together! My daughter who lives an hour away has two very small dogs and I picked this place because it had a fenced in yard! The yard was very secure! Downtown was a short walk!The neighborhood was
nice and quiet! The kitchen was well equipped and they provided an assortment of amazing snacks to enjoy! We highly recommend this place the host was incredibly helpful and every detail was thought of and taken care of! This is a great cottage for any family looking to have quality time in a quiet neighborhood and adorable decor and amenities! Highly recommend

Very Comfy home with just everything that I needed
Hi, this was the cutest little home in the cutest little town. Sure would love to live there actually. I came home thinking I'm gona organize and minimize all my stuff because I really liked how they had it so tidy and uncluttered but they had anything a person would need, I believe. Very clean and comfy! I loved that they mixed antique stuff with artsy stuff too. I hope to be back one day! I want to explore that area more and take a friend or family member or two also.
No complaints. Mona
