Piety Hill Cottages

Fantastic surprise.

Liked: PIETY HILL:I stayed for two nights in the “Walnut” cottage in May and found it aesthetically renovated with total functionality. It has a flawless, quiet heating and air conditioning split unit and an ample hot water supply for a long shower if desired.The ground has plenty of shade, mature trees, and a secluded, peaceful atmosphere. I slept soundly on a thick body-conforming mattress. The studio was spotless, and the refrigerator was already turned on, which is sometimes not the case in many hotels. The kitchen had an electric hot water kettle and a coffee maker with coffee, tea, hot cocoa mixed with various sweeteners, half and half, and even salt/pepper grinders. The cutleries were sparse, as mentioned in other reviews, but I brought paper towels and used paper plates to minimize dishwashing volume, although dishwashing liquid is provided. I was pleasantly surprised that it fitted perfectly with Nevada City's historical theme in a centenarian lodging but with all the modern accommodations.
Disliked: It would involve replacing the pipe coupling about midway up the shower head conduit with a color-matching ball valve if possible. It would temporarily shut off the water flow without affecting the water temperature between soaping and rinsing up. However, I’m still giving it five stars regardless.
