Flume's End

Our stay in Nevada City This is a charming historic building built on the edge of lush Gold Run Creek with rooms right down above the water. Mornings, sitting outside with a cup of coffee is awesome! Even a reconstructed non-functional flume runs across the property on the ancient concrete supports. And it’s a quick walk across the bridge to downtown Nevada CIty - a super great location. My rating of “okay” was based mainly on the fact that we are seniors and this isn’t a property for people who have problem with stairs or steps because you can’t go anywhere on this property without going up or down them. This is not a property for anyone who is truly mobility impaired. Even in our room, you had to step down a large step from the entry to the bed area, but have to step up a half step to get into the bathroom. We repeatedly tripped. It’s just what it is. My wife said that she would have really enjoyed this place back when I was younger because it is so interesting, but a 73, it’s a burden climbing the stores all the time. Something else, our room on the lower level is directly below the deck off of the dining and lounge area. Whenever a patio chair is moved, it reverberates loudly to our room below - at midnight. You don’t expect sound proofing in a 150 year old building, but made sleeping a challenge. Sorry, but we won’t be back, but it might be the idea place for you.

Flumes End is an awesome B&B especially if you like unique places and experiences. My husband and I stayed for almost a week while visiting family in Nevada City.... we totally enjoyed it. The quaintness, coziness and interesting atmosphere made it comfortable and fun. Breakfasts were great with a wide choice of yummy foods with excellent coffee. In walking distance of town, too. If you are looking for sterile, blah accommodations, Flumes End isn't it. Priya, the Innkeeper made us feel very welcome!

I loved Priya, very personable. I loved how close the location is to Historic Downtown Nevada City, one block up. The gardens are pure serenity with a creek running through. The site is between two busy roads but Priya even had that taken care of. It was just amazing!!
