The space
This resort-like property is set back from the road by a gated driveway, and only minutes from Nevada City, so it is private without feeling isolated.

The upstairs LOFT features an incredible 2000 sqft open concept, yet private, artsy space with too many cool features to list with sleeping, kitchen, living and full bath.

The downstairs Bunk Room offers 3 full-over-full bunk beds (sleeps 6) and a private half bath for groups or families that simply want to spread out and have more room. The link to the listing to book BOTH, the Bunk Room & Loft is www.airbnb.com/h/bunkroomnevadacity

From the inside out, this property is magic and offers many features such as outdoor seating areas, pavilion, porches, and the list goes on. It is the perfect place to rest and relax whether you are walking, reading, meditating, or hanging out on the deck. It is also a great space to use the fully furnished kitchen to prepare dinner after a day at the Yuba or following up with hot coco and a game night in the colder seasons.

Perhaps after some time in this magical spot, you’ll want to begin exploring the diverse area. For those that enjoy nature and all that it has to offer you’ll be happy to know that we are 3 miles from the Yuba River and hiking trails begin at our driveway. The area is also renowned for white water rafting, biking, fishing, sailing, and more! The local towns also have a very rich history dating back to the 1800’s as mining towns. Those that enjoy history may want to explore the mining museum, old railroads, old mines and the like. Of course, for those that prefer dining, shopping and the arts, the nearby towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley are full of wonderful restaurants, theaters, art shows, concerts, and unique shops. If you want a place to retreat, this is it!

---> A beautiful modern boho style ranch house (sleeps 6), completely renovated and fully furnished, is also available on the property. For those having a larger group or wanting the entire property for their group please search for the Airbnb listing "The Retreat" found by visiting www.airbnb.com/h/theretreatatgratiduderanch

Neighborhood highlights

The property is a privately, fenced in 5 acres located in a small neighborhood on a private road. Everything a guest may need is a short and easy drive away, although you would not necessarily know this when at the home, because it is surrounded by beautiful pines.

While the property is magical there are many great local destinations to explore. Nevada City and Grass Valley both have charming downtown areas with shops, restaurants, theaters, and events within a 15-minute drive. The Yuba River is only 3 miles away. There are many lakes within an hour, and Lake Tahoe and skiing spots are just over an hour away.

Somehow after living in Los Angeles and touring as the band "Jason & deMarco" for almost 10 years, in 2013 we ended up purchasing a mini-farm in a little village called Leipers Fork outside of Nashville TN which we’ve called GratiDude Ranch. It was by far one of our best decisions ever, although a very unexpected chapter of our journey. We often wonder how we ended up on a farm in Franklin TN! Our vision was that GratiDude Ranch would bridge rustic charm with modern farmhouse style with our accommodations while also offering the community opportunities to gather over amazing and local cuisine, good wine and great music. Through our farm to table dinners, and our original Hillbilly Clue murder mystery dinners, along with special event opportunities, we have created this very brand that we imagined. We are beyond excited to be bringing that brand back to our West Coast roots, opening our second GratiDude Ranch location in Nevada City, CA on Lazy Dog. This location will offer accommodations at our Lazy Dog Retreat, which includes the main three bedroom, two bath, completely renovated farmhouse along with the amazing Barn Loft. Together, both spaces can sleep up to 12 guests. The farmhouse and barn loft can also be rented separately. We welcome small groups, spiritual groups and workshops, families and individuals. We will also begin offering monthly farm to table dinners, along with monthly "Rockabilly Clue" murder mystery dinners in the Spring of 2023. Private events can be booked currently. PLEASE NOTE: Private events must be booked OUTSIDE of all AirBnb bookings. I (Jason) am a real estate agent and I am happy to help our guests with their real estate needs while visiting the area. deMarco is a chef and has a background in the Restaurant and Hospitality business. He has a passion for Health & Wellness, particularly eating and supporting local farmers. He will be working directly with our Property and Event Manager for Lazy Dog. If one of our events isn't happening during your stay, we are happy to recommend great restaurants nearby. We also run a non-profit called "SAFE" (Safe, Affirming Family Environment) where we serve foster children and other families in need through our programming. A portion of all of our events support SAFE. We're grateful for what we've been given, and when we get to share it with others, it simply makes our world happier.
