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.
Very friendly staff upon check-in. Room was clean and quite nice. Bed was very comfortable. Easy walk to downtown Nevada City. Would definitely stay here again.
Nice peaceful and comfortable stay in Nevada City. We enjoyed the location and walking from the hotel to downtown Nevada city several times during our weekend.
Cute, clean and friendly. Great location, walking distance to Nevada City, but very quiet. Loved the outside sitting area with a water feature. I would stay here again.

We have stayed at Outside Inn many times. Inexpensive , great place close to town. Very quiet and comfortable.
We love the location and charm of this classic motel. The folks who run it are lovely people, too! Plus, it's very pet friendly. Our room came with a dog bowl, towel, biscuits and doggie bags, and there is a nice lawn in the center of the court. This was our second stay here, and we'll definitely stay there again!
Awesome little motel run by a very kind and welcoming couple- very clean and tidy- we had a great stay- our room was on small side but perfect for us. Nice picnic/park area in middle of the grounds with beautiful gardens.Would highly recommend.
This place was so cute! We had a queen in the main room and a twin in the alcove.
My 13 year loved the alcove.
The room was so adorable and so was the Inn.
We will be back.
The owner of the property was so friendly and welcoming. She gave us plenty of pointers for shopping/food/hiking to make the most out of our time there. Pet friendly, the owner even provides a food bowl and treats for the furry friends! Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely room but electric burners on stove not burn hot and pull out couch for bed was broken so my third party was not comfortable- should have told us before arrival. The rest was very comfortable
