Great location. If you don’t have any walking limitations the Outside Inn is in walkable distance to the charming Historical Downtown area with cute shops and restaurants. We stayed in the Rock Climbing Suite, which felt like a cozy little cabin and very clean. It also had a rock climbing wall in the room, which I wasn’t expecting. The heater in the room may be a little louder than some people are used to but we had no issues with it. The front desk person was very nice when I spoke to her on the phone and in person. She also recommended we visit the Empire Mine Historic Park while we were there. It was definitely a must see and we’re glad we took her up on the recommendation. She also gave us a map of the locations that the Hallmark movie The Christmas Card was filmed at in Nevada City. That was fun since that’s what brought us to Nevada City in the first place. The Outside Inn was a great place to stay for the value and we would definitely stay there again if we’re ever in Nevada City again.

We stayed in the Cabin. It was extremely comfortable and quiet, and the owners are incredibly friendly and accommodating. I will absolutely stay there again. Important to know: it’s a cabin, not a hotel room, so set your expectations appropriately. That said, it has an amazing memory foam mattress and pillows that far exceed the average hotel room. The room is heated by a small gas fireplace stove, which made it extremely cozy when I visited at the end of November.
