Penn Valley House | Secluded Retreat Above the Yuba River – Pool, Hot Tub, Views, A/C

3 Bedroom House in Penn Valley

Perched above the South Yuba River, this peaceful and secluded 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat is ideal for long weekends and week-long getaways. Relax on the decks or by the pool, soak in the hot tub, and enjoy easy access to river swimming holes, hiking, and the charm of Nevada City and Grass Valley. The home stays comfortable year-round thanks to a large ceiling fan and individually controlled A/C and heating units, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere on cooler evenings.
THE SPACE:
The Nomad House is a comfortable, light-filled home in a quiet hillside setting above the South Yuba River. It feels private and peaceful — a true foothills getaway — yet it’s just a 12-minute drive to Wildwood Market or the South Yuba State Park, and 20–25 minutes to Nevada City and Grass Valley.
Inside, you’ll find wood floors, vaulted ceilings, and inviting gathering spaces for meals, games, and downtime. The kitchen is fully equipped for home cooking, and the layout works well for families, couples traveling together, or small groups. Reliable high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the home.
Outdoor living is a big part of the experience here, with multiple decks for relaxing and dining, plus a pool and hot tub for unwinding between river time, hikes, and day trips.

Summary: I am a returning guest to this lovely home, and hope to continue coming back in future years! The location and backyard just can’t be beat. Even though the hot tub was down, the pool and close distance to the Yuba River, as well as the peaceful and beautiful outdoor area as a whole, were enough to enjoy. Check-in was a breeze, and the home was nice and clean. AC worked well also. The hosts were very responsive, and communication was easy and straightforward. Thank you again to Dave and Nacala!
