Our time in the Victorian Lady Inn was peaceful and quiet. Fran has created a home that is inviting to one's soul to relax and rest. We felt as if we belonged. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, each corner inviting with fresh flowers, warm lighting, comfort, and colors that bring feelings of an easy stillness. Fran herself has an aura of peace as she comes in from working in her garden with smudges of dirt here and there. Her smile and easy conversations make one feel right at home. Fran knows how to cook well and she will surprise you with a table setting fit for a queen and king. Her scones are simply the best. Our time at Fran's was perfect. We came away with a renewed vigor for life due to the peace and warmth that the Victorian Lady Inn gives to it's guests. What a wonderful gift. Thank you Fran. Ted and Tracy

My husband and I had the pleasure of spending our wedding anniversary in the Lotta Crabtree Room at the Inn for two nights in September. The room was exceptionally clean and well decorated. Our stay was warm and friendly. Fran was an amazing hostess. Her breakfast meals were such a delicious way to start our day. She exemplies the best qualities in an Innkeeper. She is friendly, kind, and helpful. Yet she respects your privacy. She gave us an excellent suggestions for dinners during our stay. We definitely plan to return again and stay in the same room. I can truly say that her Inn is the nicest one we have ever stayed at. Donna and Ray Backman Fremont, California

Nothing short of a perfect stay. Beautiful rooms; clean and fresh. A great house and location surrounded by huge trees, green and shady. Only a short a walk to downtown Grass Valley - we recommend the Owl for a fantastic dinner. Fran is a wonderful hostess, warm and welcoming and a hell of a cook for breakfast. Absolutely without a doubt, stay here! Bill and Debbie

I am not kidding when I say that our 2 night stay at the Victorian Lady was one of the best times our family has ever had. My wife and daughters (6&10) were dazzled by the charm and hospitality offered to us by this wonderful B&B. Thank you again Fran for making our stay very special. We will be sure to see you again because I am in the business of making my little girls dreams come true! And, our weekend with you has become a valued memory that all my girls will treasure for years to come. Thanks Fran, The Murphy's

My husband and I visited the Victorian Lady Inn in June 2009. We stayed in the Sally Stanford Suite which is on the main level. It was beautifully appointed, large, and had a comfy King Bed. There was a private exit out to the very well kept swimming pool through the secondary bedroom. Breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, wonderful coffee, pastries and a breakfast casserole. Fran gave us lots of tips about the area. Her B&B is in walking distance to the fairgrounds, downtown, and has easy access to the freeway (no freeway noise). This B&B has a great location and top-quality amenities.

We had a very large comfortable room with a walk in closet. When I say large it ran from the front of the house to the rear. The breakfast was very good and served in a large wood floored dinning room. This is about the best B&B I have stayed in. If you are tired of small rooms with knickknacks on every surface and almost no where to hang you clothes, then you will really enjoy the Victorian Lady.

We, along with several cousins, spent 3 nights at the Victorian Lady for a cousin reunion. What a perfect place for such a gathering. We filled all the rooms, so we were the only guests. Fran's breakfasts were delicious, and we came home with several wonderful recipes! The location was perfect for walking to town or just taking an evening stroll. This was definitely a perfect choice for our reunion.

My wife and myself began staying at B&Bs 23 years ago, and this Inn is one of the best. Everthing you could want in a B & B is HERE! The "Lady" accomodated us for 2 nights while we attended the 2009 Father's Day Bluegrass Festival. The Inn provided us a semi-elegant and restful atmosphere on a quiet street. The Marylin Monroe room was delightful, the house was grand, and the grounds pastoral. The kitchen was accessible late at night for hot tea and biscottis. The breakfasts were absolutely wonderful - like another reviewer, we also had the french toast casserole one morning - unbelieveably good! Fran (the innkeeper) is a natural - she made her "job" look easy; she is a very pleasant person and ingraitiated us to her immediately.. she is a class act and treats her Inn and guests superbly. We will be back.

I had to visit Grass Valley as a single woman and was really hesitant about staying in a B and B as a single. The innkeeper Fran, made me feel "wanted". My stay from start to finish was a complete 10. Being a busy executive from Orange County Ca. I am used to nice things. The Inn itself, the Innkeeper and the breakfasts were superb!!!! I will go back over and over.

Visited Grass Valley for NU High School's graduation ceremony. Luckily, for me I had the good fortune of staying at Victorian Lady Inn. I viewed the inn online and said OH HELL NO - after seeing the theme and colors of the rooms - but boy was I wrong!!! A good friend recommended the Inn and she was correct!!! Fran the owner / operator was away but her sub Brenda was excellent. I felt like I was at a home away from home. The room I stayed in was M Monroe and the color was very well accentuated; as well as the others that I viewed. While as I've stayed at more than a few B&Bs throughout the U.S., I cannot remember being in a more pristine setting. It will remain in my contacts folder for the next visit to wonderful Grass Valley!! Steve Williams

We loved out stay at "The Victorian Lady Inn." Fran definitely knows how to take good care of her guests by paying attention to all the little details. From the beautifully appointed guest rooms and common areas, to the beautifully set table, to the warm welcome to feel at home during our stay, to the delicious gourmet breakfasts. We found lots of activities in the area, including hiking, spa treatments, and nice restaurants and shops. Fran has certainly raised the standard for the Bed & Breakfast experience. We look forward to returning for another get-away. Bonita and Melissa

The Victorian Lady is a grand old house and Fran is an interesting and gracious hostess. We stayed one night in the Lola Montez room, which is nicely decorated and features a beautiful attached bathroom with a comfortable jacuzzi tub and a good shower over the tub. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was substantial and delicious. Fran is easy to talk to and very available without being intrusive. She lives in a house behind the inn, which allows more privacy than is available at some bed and breakfasts. Grass Valley and Nevada City are great places for a fall get-away. The temperatures are cooler than in the summer and there are good places to eat, good shopping and historical sites to visit. We will return to the Victorian Lady. Thanks, Fran! Janet and Eric

Each year a group of friends now in their 70's select a venue in Northern California for a reunion of sorts and this year we chose the Victorian Lady. The accomadations, the service and the pool and pool area were excellent, but the huge homemade breakfasts surpassed any of the other places we have stayed. Fran Fields is an excellent proprietor who makes you feel that you have known her all of your life.

We loved our stay at the Victorian Lady Inn. Our room , the Sally Stanford room, was spacious and more than comfortable. The grounds and the pool/spa area were beautiful- we enjoyed swimming, soaking in the spa, playing cards and chatting with our friends poolside. The breakfast were outstanding. The baked French Toast Casserole was sooo- delicious -Thanks, Fran for all your gracious hospitality. Jane & Steve
