Guest Experience:

Guests have shared their exceptional experiences at the Green Off-Grid Glass House:

  • Odette (April 2023): “We had a peaceful and enjoyable stay and would definitely come back again. What stood out to us about Tod’s place was the private and relaxing vibe – it feels like you are in the middle of a pine forest —and you are! Not a soul in sight except for passer-byers on the lake. So quiet! We also loved that it was dog-friendly. I also am super appreciative of Tod’s communication and flexibility with rescheduling our stay, which we had to initially cancel because of winter storms.”
  • Cassie (January 2023): “Beautiful, serene blast from the past. Gorgeous being nestled in the woods, with gorgeous views of the lake. The home is modern but has many touches from another era. We enjoyed watching episodes from Season 4 of SNL from the 70s and playing obscure board games like Hugger Mugger and 10 Days in Asia, that were also clearly from 30-40 years ago. It was awesome to be close to Grass Valley and Nevada City – super fun to go into town and enjoy the shops and restaurants. Perfect warmer weather getaway!”
