A Victorian Rose, DOWNTOWN, hot tub, man cave,couples, families & groups welcome

Thank you to all of our previous guests who gave us 5 star reviews! We take great pride in our home and do everything we can to make your stay comfortable.

A Victorian Rose provides a unique and memorable experience for all ages! From one to one hundred, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you are a couple seeking a romantic get-away or a group of friends wanting to gather, we are perfect for you! Honestly, why stay at a hotel, motel or bed, and breakfast when you can rent our entire private, beautiful Victorian for less and stay in style? We also allow up to two well-behaved pets with pre-approval & extra pet fees.

Have you been planning a romantic weekend for two or a reunion with family or friends? Do you have an upcoming wedding? Have you considered renting a home for a wedding party or visiting family? Guess what? Look no further... You've found the perfect vacation home for your family or friends! A Victorian Rose!

We are available for Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations, and we love to decorate to add to the festivities. You may leisurely stroll to Downtown Cornish Christmas or visit neighboring Nevada City, only 4 miles away to enjoy their beautiful Victorian Christmas.

Families have stayed at our home as they celebrate the life of a special family member who has passed. Our home is comfortable and welcoming, especially in times of grief. We offer privacy, unlike hotels.

Of course, quilting, scrapping, and wine tasting groups are always welcome, and they may set up in our "Man Cave" or "Quilting Cove." We have had groups stay for a week. Amazingly, a couple of the groups come back a couple of times each year.

We are located in the Downtown Historic District, within walking distance of Main Street and Mill Street(0.3miles). We have plenty of parking compared to many downtown vacation homes. We're about 2 miles from The Empire State Mine, 1.3 miles from The Nevada County Fairgrounds, and about 4 miles from Nevada City.

A Victorian Rose is a luxury four/five bedroom and two bath home. Each room is uniquely decorated with antiques to add to the charm.

We have an inviting lovely parlor, a modern and fully equipped kitchen, a sunny breakfast nook, a formal dining room, a comfortable family room, a laundry room with washer/dryer & ironing board & iron, a Secret Kid's Room, a fun recreation room or 'The Man Cave' with Foosball, poker table, TV, VCR/DVD etc....Fun for everyone!

Let me tell you more! Quilting and scrap-booking groups arrange their tables and use "The Man Cave" as a workshop. On the back deck, there is a warm, hot tub and seating. We have a propane BBQ, complimentary WiFi, quality linens, and towels.

We're located in the Sierra Foothills, in the Historic Downtown District of Grass Valley, and centralized to many great outdoor and indoor activities and only minutes from Nevada City. We are in the heart of the Gold Country about one hour from Sacramento or Lake Tahoe, right off Hwy 49 in the Downtown District of Grass Valley.

Nearby are museums, golfing and biking, cultural events, County Fairground activities, antiquing and specialty shopping, wine tasting, great theater, art galleries, excellent dining, musical entertainment, movie theater, Grass Valley and Nevada City walking tours, The Empire Mine State Park, swimming and even playing in the snow or skiing aren't too far away! The list is endless. I highly recommend checking out the Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce before or during your stay. Don't just stay, play!!!

There are numerous fine restaurants in both Grass Valley and Nevada City. You could grab a quick bite at one of the fast food places, and of course, you must try a pastie, a Cornish meal the miners used to bring into the mines. Safeway is nearby and makes it easy to purchase foods to cook up something homemade in our well-equipped and modern kitchen.

A Victorian Rose is a completely restored Victorian and perfect for a romantic getaway weekend, a small wedding, a family vacation, a scrapping/quilting weekend, a memorial celebration or just a fun retreat for you and your friends!

We can help make arrangements for special occasions, too, just ask.

Everything was immaculate and easy to access. We enjoyed our stay very much. We had everything we needed to cook and a grocery store in walking distance. I can't imagine a better place to stay with friends for a long weekend. Also, Catherine was great to work with and flexible when we needed to check in a little early.One thing to note, by pets, the owner is referring to dogs. We brought our cats and had to pay an additional fee to have them with us.

A terrific place for a family to stay in Grass Valley. Lovely Victorian with period-appropriate furnishings that are super comfortable! Just like going back to Grass Valley’s historic period — but with all the modern comforts. Plenty of rooms for a family gathering, with a large dining area and modern kitchen appliances. Walking distance to groceries, and shops in historic downtown (Mill Street). Couldn’t have found a nicer place for a family gathering. Charming!

There was nine of us staying here. All of us was comfortable and loved this house. Catherine was wonderful to work with. She responded quickly to any texts or phone calls. This victorian home is so beautiful and well taken care of. We had some family over that live in Grass Valley and the man cave came in handy. I highly recommend this home. Thank you Catherine for sharing your beautiful home

Delightful Stay

A Victorian Rose definitely lives up to its name. It is quaint, elegant, and modern all at once, creating a comfortable environment while adding the charm of the Victorian era to the furnishings. Our family had a wonderful time, there was plenty of space for all five of us, and we loved searching for the hidden heart!

Great for a group in the summer

Stayed at the Victorian Rose for a weekend with 10 other people. The house was convenient, handled our large group well, and had PLENTY of character! Shoutout for having the flexibility to leave some bikes in the garage after checkout - gave us some piece of mind while we were off adventuring.

Lovely home

My family visited Grass Valley for a wedding. Victorian Rose met our needs perfectly. A well-appointed home with everything we needed and located in a nice neighborhood very close to downtown. Catherine gave us some great recommendations for places to eat and things to do and was available to answer any questions during our stay. We loved both Grass Valley and Nevada City.

Home away From Home!

The Victorian Rose met all our needs for our trip to the area for our niece’s wedding. If we forgot to bring something, Catherine had it somewhere in the house! The location was perfect for walking downtown to the restaurants. Although we weren’t at the house much, we enjoyed a movie from a cast selection of VHSs and got ready to nostalgic music using the turntable. The house cooled down nicely with all the AC units throughout the house. Catherine checked in us via text to make sure we were comfortable. Even with the cars, there was no issue with parking. Love the Victorian Rose!

A Magnificent Wedding and Lovely Homestay experience

We were in Grass Valley/Nevada City for our daughter's wedding. We needed a "refuge" from the constant excitement, a gathering place for family members and a "workhorse" of a prep/cooking/organizational headquarters for our role in the large and extravagant wedding weekend. We found all of this at the Rose Victorian! The best was late at night and early in the morning...coffee or wine outside on the front porch, shoes off, feet up, chatting with family and relaxing before getting ready for the next round of work and excitement. This house such "good vibes" and homey, happy, comfortable aspects. Plus, it has an amazingly well-stocked kitchen! Catherine was amazing to work with. We plan to reserve the Rose Victorian again in the near future and loved every minute of our stay there.

We had an absolutely wonderful time and the house was a Victorian and had the most elegant decor! Rooms and bathrooms were clean and supplies were plentiful! Host is amazing and helped where it was needed! “Check-out” was a breeze and even though there were other fun amenities (man cave and spa) we weren’t there long enough to enjoy them, but others should! If we ever get back there we would stay again!

Nice Victorian Stay

The house is a Victorian and as such is an older house that was neat and clean but a bit old fashioned. Beds were generally comfortable but pillows were hard and we were happy we brought our own. We felt every movement as we walked around inside (thought we were having an earthquake several times) but realized it was just the sway of an older house. There is only a very small siting room for a gathering, so it was hard for all of us to be in one room at one time. Kitchen was well stocked had everything we needed for cooking. The toilet downstairs was not working properly, but the property manager took care of that after we left. Catherine was very nice to work with and very attentive. All in all a nice stay and the location was an easy walk into town.
