We have a shuttle service booked for folks staying in Grass Valley or Nevada City. There is one pick-up and drop off location in Grass Valley (Gold Miners Inn) and one pick up and drop off location in Nevada City (The National Exchange Hotel). You can use this shuttle if you are staying anywhere in town as it is quite walkable. And yes, it is a school bus :)
There are two pick up times before and after the ceremony. If you are ready early before the ceremony, please plan to take the earlier shuttle. We will have games and beverages set out, and the venue is a beautiful place to walk around and explore.

There are lots of great housing options available on AirBnB if you are hoping to find space for a group or just want something more private. Recommend staying in Grass Valley or Nevada City if you hope to use the shuttle service. Scotts Flat lake is also nearby as a beautiful beach day option.
If you are looking for a more rustic, budget friendly option there are lots of campgrounds in the area. Scotts Flat Lake campground is nearby, with many hiking trails nearby. You will also have access to the beach, there are kayak rentals available.
Sacramento International Airport and Reno-Tahoe International Airport are your two closest airports. Both will take (around) 1 hr and 20 minutes to get into Nevada City. You will likely need a rental car. If you are hoping to extend your stay and enjoy some time in the beautiful and nearby Lake Tahoe, Reno airport may be your best bet.
