My second very pleasant stay at Piety Hill confirmed that the first was no fluke. Took a different room this time (Walnut this trip, Apple Blossom last trip) and found it to be just as lovely, homey, and unpretentious. The host and hostess obviously spent a lot of time and effort to create unique and comfortable accommodations; clean, welcoming, and... more

We were traveling through the area and had 5 people (2 adults and 3 teenagers) and didn’t want to rent two rooms at a hotel and then spend the night watching our kids try to sneak past our room. So instead we rented the White Birch cottage (sleeps 6) at Piety Hill. Check in was fast and easy. We called... more

I was expecting a stay at a bed and breakfast type inn. That being said this is far from what I expected. The room was small and very out of date, and not all that clean. The room was advertised as having a kitchenette it had no sink other than in the bathroom I thought a Kitchenette had a place... more

92% of our business is generated through our website, which is quite descriptive as to the type of property we offer for your leisure stay in Nevada City. We ARE NOTa victorian style Bed & Breakfast. We were built as a "motor court" motel at the hieght of the depression in 1933. Luxury was not an option back then and...

We booked only a week or so before we arrived so we were put in two different rooms. The grounds are lovely and the innkeepers have done a lot of work with the plantings to make the place look inviting and charming. The rooms, however, are a disaster. The first room we stayed in had a lumpy old mattress, a... more

We loved our cottage (Maple) and each cottage has a garage which is a nice touch. Very cozy, antique feel to the design of everything. The nick-nacks in our cottage were wonderful to look at all weekend long. The location is great. We walked to downtown several times for great dinners, a wonderful chocolate/ice cream shop, and interesting shops. Owners... more

We had a wonderful stay in the Laurel cottage. We were charmed by the decor, the wonderful breakfasts, the friendliness and helpfulness of the innkeepers, and the peace and quiet at Piety Hill. We LOVED not sharing a wall with other guests. We will definitely return! more

The last three times in 3 years we have been through Nevada City, we have chosen to stay at the Piety Hill Cottages.. Things we liked are: a very good hot breakfast and friendly hosts. Mostly private individual or duplex little cottages. I am concerned about a few things that will have me looking elsewhere next time though. Part of... more

We truly appreciate the concerns of our guests, especially returning guests. Piety Hill Cottages was purchased in a state of severe deferred maintenance and has had many, many improvements implemented since then with many more to come. Our inn is indeed being prepped for painting, however, we were a bit premature in the prepping and we had to get through...

My husband and I stayed two nights at the Piety Hill Inn as the last leg of a week-long road trip. The inn and the innkeepers, MIchael and Sharon provided us with the quiet downtime we needed. We stayed in the Amber Cottage, the inn's smallest room. It was well decorated, well maintained, quiet and very comfortable. We were a... more

Our children planned a family vacation at Piety Hill for our 50th wedding anniversary. Our family of 15 gathered at the Inn for 4 days, and everything was perfect. Michael and Sharon added to our pleasure with their attentiveness and concern for all our comfort, from the youngest (6 mo.) to the oldest (69). The Chestnut Cottege was homey, very... more

We were delighted with our one night stay in a Piety Hill Inn cottage in May. It was even better than we had imagined. We received a warm welcome from Michael and Sharon who made sure we were comfortable and offered helpful advice for choosing a local restaurant for dinner. A gourmet breakfast was brought to our door in the... more
