Grateful Giveaway

I shared out to Facebook. Thanks for a great blog.

I absolutely love this blog. It has great ideas on things to do year round, and includes links so information on different activities is easy to find. It’s absolutely wonderful for both long time residents, and new residents alike. My favorite event is Victorian Christmas in Nevada City. I go every year if I’m in town, and it’s wonderful to see that it has become such a big event, huge turn out of people, tons of vendors, the shops stay open as well, good food, and I love listening to the carolers. We just went on Sunday, and the crowd was phenomenal. Biggest crowd I’ve seen to date, and more vendors than when I first went 4 years ago. Thank you for having such a wonderful and resourceful blog for us to reference when we are looking for things to do in the area! Keep up the good work.

I look fwd. to the outside inn pictures of Nevada City and share emails and facebook posts with others-love em. My friend has stayed at the campground twice since it opened and loves it. She and her husband were so glad I told then about it. We visited it once when they were here the first time. This second time they used the community room for a day after Thanksgiving meal with his son and gf who live locally. Fun.Family.

Erin, thanks so much for all you do to promote amazing Nevada City!
I’d love to have a chance to win this fabulous Christmas basket — please enter my name!❤️

Wow, looks like I might be the first to comment. Okay, here goes. A hub is the central part of a wheel that connects the axle to the wheel itself. As such, describing Erin’s blog as a hub for our community is a perfect analogy. If you want to find out what’s cooking both literally and metaphorically in Nevada City, Erin’s Innside Nevada City blog is the place to go. She obviously puts an incredible amount of effort into gathering and sorting these many pieces of information, with gorgeous photos to boot, and presents it to the community, and all those checking out Nevada City, as a gift. As if that wasn’t enough, she creates these gift packages too! Yes, of course it’s business, and PR…but with heart, and the heart of the blog highlights the heart of Nevada City’s rich culture, for the benefit of all. Thanks for that, Erin! Cheers!

I forgot to add what I like about the blog: The photography. You really capture the beauty of this area. 🙂

Shared, of course, with reasons of why.

What I love about this blog is that I can keep up with what is happening around our two towns (GV as well) and see great photos of the events. Watching progress of Inn Town Campground and knowing when we could visit at various stages of construction was perhaps my favorite set of posts because the concept is so special and the end result is just great.

Love the “things to do” tips and ideas!

I love this blog! It is very informative for both locals and visitors alike! Great job!

This looks wonderful! I discovered Nevada City as we looked for a wedding venue and ended up booking Minor’s Foundry. We fell in love with the town instantly. I am grateful for you posts keeping those of us out of town informed of local events – and we plan to come up for Victorian Christmas next week! <3

what a lovely gift and perfect way to explore the city – like a treasure hunt.

i first experienced nevada city when i was a child. my parents owned a business called green heart market – it was a health food store of which i have kept alive through an online community, green sourcing products and bringing awareness to the environment and humanity. i have shared the beauty of what you share @greenheartmarket which is small and growing everyday as the community grows.

i was inspired by the magical lifestyle i lived in the foothills of the sierra nevadas — the rivers, an interactive waldorf school that brought us to be a part of the culture of nevada city; the theatre, the rich history and the diverse community.

the best memories of my formative and adolescent years were spent exploring this incredible town i am proud to call home. i hope to return someday. thank you for sharing the most beautiful community with the world. it makes me feel i can experience the gems everyday i see and feel what you share.

Our family has stayed at the Outside Inn twice now and booked a 3rd. We absolutely love this place. So well thought out, friendly with so many different things to do in close proximity. We are so glad we found this gem.

I love all the pictures and how simple and easy it is to navigate through this site!

Hi Erin! If you weren’t for you and Kial, I wouldn’t know half of what I know about Nevada County since moving here two years ago. I can’t thank you enough for your beautiful pictures, and your great descriptions of places to go and people to see in our lovely area. I shared this blog on Pinterest, Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. Thanks again for all you do and all you show us.

Wow! That’s one heck of a giveaway! Nice work Erin, and nice work Nevada City!

I love how the blog exhibits the beauty of this place, and informs us of all the many goings on in our community- and of course the gal who has charge of the blog.

2nd give away entry …shared on my fb page.

I’m doing alot of exploring in the area in hopes of moving by the end of the summer to the Nevada City area. I’m self-employed and would love to make a donation to your giveaways in 2017….Our Furry Friends Training…100$ gift certificate for in-home dog training lessons.

So far I’ve only come up for the day, but in the near future I’m going to come up with my travel trailer and spend the night with a couple of my dogs at your cool Campground.

Too many wonderful images to pick one, but I have to say, the images from the new InnTown campground are stunning! And what a wonderful new addition to our little town! Thank you Outside Inn for being such a wonderful part of our community!

I love our little town. It’s got such warmth and charm. And the Outside Inn is nestled right in the middle of it, yet it’s got a quiet cozy feel to it. Your blog highlights the wonders of our precious community & I always enjoy reading it! I also posted it to my FB page!!!

What I love about the Outside Inn blog, and really everything the Thiem family has given is the community they have created. I have been involved in various efforts to promote Nevada City and all you do has been most successful! All of your efforts have created a great deal of admiration and respect and that connection of everyone to you has created unity. From your Halloween maze to your NC postcards. From your various businesses promoting tourism to your blog. All of it is beautiful!

These are a couple of my favorite pictures that you have taken in the past year. Thank you for capturing the beauty of this quaint mountain town that I love so much!

I’ve been following your blog for about a year now. My husband and I moved out of state this past March, but recently moved back to the Grass Valley area because we missed this town, the mountains, and the community here so much. There is nowhere else like it! We are blessed to call it home. I appreciate you keeping me informed about local events, new businesses, and for making me aware of the Outside Inn veggie cart! Great blog! ❤ Happy Holidays!

Just realized the photos aren’t being shown individually. My two favorites are: the California poppy next to the Yuba river and the picture of the string of lights against the dark blue night sky with the brick building.

Shared on Facebook!

Every Wedneday I walk by the Outside Inn on my way to volunteer at the Library. I love to see the changes in the Inn, the free fruit/veggie cart and the different plants blooming and changing. With the pictures on the blog it opens your eyes to see what is right in front of us in our wonderful town. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your Family.

I love the Outside Inn blog for so many different reasons! I discover new fun things to go experience in my home county, like the Narrow Guage Railroad Museum which my whole family loved! It also is an excellent showcase of this beautiful little town we call home, something I can show to people who aren’t familiar with the area to entice them to come visit! Thanks for the commitment to displaying the wonders of our county!

Shared to Facebook 🙂

My favorite post was the Halloween post with all the ghosts and ghouls. All the fun spilled over to the Inn Town Campground and despite the rain, we had a fabulous time!

So excited to live close enough to Nevada City to enjoy its blessings. The yuba, the trees, the trails, the flowers, the people, the film festival, the experience. Thanks for letting me be a part of this love!♡

I love receiving your Blog in my inbox and I also follow you on Instagram! I enjoy everything you write about and your photos. Its hard to choose a favorite Blog because we enjoy hearing about the musical events whether they be a few musicians in a resturant or a show at the theater. We also love learning about the plays, a new trail ( we love to hike) or what streets to walk to enjoy the fall foliage. Halloween we found ourslves walking thru your fun Display of Halloween Decor, probably the only ones without children, but we are young at heart!
Thank you so much for keeping us informed, you truly are the best resource for the area.

PS – I’ve hopefully increased my odds of winning by liking your page on FB (via EA RIX) and posting on social media outlets. Not shy here – Cheers!

I loved your posts about fall in Nevada city! Such beautiful colors. Nice to be reminded of my favorite little town while away.

Shared on Instagram!

Love all of your pictures on your blog!

Erin, I love this blog because though I come to Nevada City a lot, I still find something new to love about it almost every time I’m there. Often, it is through something mentioned in your post. Recently, I attended the Constitution Day Parade and was blown away by all the different groups represented – it was truly impressive and fun! I stayed at the Inn Town Campground in it’s inaugural weekend (and since 🙂 and loved it. Katie and I even discovered a new (to us) route on the Tribute Trail that took us past the Tin Man and Woman sculptures. Cannot lie, though, my favorite Nevada City/Grass Valley happening is SYRCL’s Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival (yes, that’s a plug!) Thanks 🙂

Wowza! What an incredible giveaway!!!! I’m always in awe by your blog posts and beautiful pictures to accompany them. Our favorite blog is the one that introduced us to Treats! Yum! It’s a favorite of all time at our house!

Shared on FB!

Thanks, Erin for your newsletter and posts! I look forward to seeing the newsletter in my inbox, and I can’t say that about most of my emails. I don’t always get to do most of the stuff you mention, but at least I know what I’m missing 🙂

Nevada city has been such an incredible part of my life. This is my first time living away from home and I’m so excited to be back for the holidays. This would be such a great opportunity to share my love for Nevada city and local places with my loved ones. Love the outside inn and our beautiful town!

I have officially shared the love on Facebook. If one of my friends wins, they’d better share 🙂

Wow! What a prize! I love our little town! It’s hard to pick a favorite event, but I’m partial to Victorian Christmas and the Miners Foundry Christmas craft fair! So cheery and festive!!

I fell in love with Nevada City the first time I visited. We came up from Sacramento for a concert at the Miners Foundry Cultural center. Our orginal plans were to stay for one night and ended up staying the entire week. We stayed at the Broad Street Inn and couldn’t have asked for a better place. Nevada city has so much exciting history. Cooper’s a pub in town were we ran into some locals that shared there experiences living in Nevada City for 50 plus years. Let’s say I wanted more and started following The Outside Inn Blog. This blog has it all. Thank you for all the great information posted about events, hikes, history, camping …. etc! Cheers

Also shared on pintrest!

Thank you so much for bringing our amazing community groups together. The Outside Inn’s continual kindness and collaboration has always served as our best ambassador to the rest of California!

What don’t we learn from your blog, Erin? From new restaurants to try, shops to check out, shows and events in our town, to reminders of all the beautiful natural gems to explore nearby, you cover our area wonderfully. Thank you for the work you do and for loving this town so well.

I love everything about your blog! Not only do you keep us informed about what is happening around town, the pictures you include are absolutely beautiful. Before I moved here (over three years ago now), I signed up for your blog to learn about all of the great events and places I had to look forward to once I became a resident. You helped me find two of my favorite swimming holes, as well as letting me know about all of the great things happening and helped me to feel at home as soon as I moved here. Thank you so much for all you do; you provide a wonderful service not only for visitors but also for those of us who live here.

Living in London, there are many things I miss about October in Nevada County. I miss the colors of leaves changing. I miss pumpkins. I miss the taste of winter coming in the air.
That’s why I love reading this blog. It helps me remember.

Nevada City Victorian Christmas has a special place in my heart because my daughter and I went every year throughout her childhood. It is a magical respite from all the preparation for the.holiday and those few days we visited from Redding, Ca was the way we put aside responsibility and rushing around to immerse ourselves in the restorative loveliness of this beautiful town.

Some things I love: all of the beautiful Yuba pics that remind me I need to go swimming, the pics of events at the miners foundry which remind me of our wedding and best of all… the food and restaurant pics that make my mouth water for some of my fav spots. South pine and Ike’s! Mmmmm

Awesome job Erin! Thanks for all that you do!

I love reading your post. They are always so well written. ❤️
Thank you.

Learned about all the local wineries this year, thanks to your blog. Still working at drinking my way through them. Thanks!

I really loved the blog about the Vintage retailers in the area and I love all the photos every week!

I love Nevada City, the Outside Inn, and your blog! I have lived and worked in NC for years. I used to walk my class by there all the time.

I love it because it is super helpful in planning a trip! It gives lots of great upcoming events and suggestions for things to do! Great job with the site!

What a prize package extraordinaire you have put together! Amazing! I love that you have introduced me to so many local businesses though this blog that I would not have otherwise learned about!

I love your blog. I really like your pictures of the yuba and trail ideas. I got my parents a weekend in one of your cabins and they loved it!

I love your blog! It’s fun to be reminded of and learn more about some great Nevada County activities and places, as well as learn about new ones!

Hi, I’ll call you MY outside Inn, I used to live across the street from you many years ago. I’m so glad you own it now. Looks so great!. My sister comes to visit often, she always books a room with you, She had to show me the Celestial room I was in love. You’ve done so much for our community, and now having internet, share the best photos in and around our so loved community, photos are all great. I appreciate them very much as I am a photographer also. My sister was here a couple of months ago, and last year too, she will book again with you in about june/july 2017. I love the cups you sell too. Everything about our community here, well, your place is like a home away from home. I shared on FB. I tell anyone and everyone who asks , where’s a good place to stay? they say, I say only place I recommend is the outside inn in nevada city, ca. Thanks again for all you do, my sister thanks you too, Her name is Elaine. xoxo Stay warm, might have our first / excuse me second snow tonight.

I learned about Hirshman’s pond in the Kid Friendly Activities post, and then checked it out myself. What a beautiful place! This is a fantastic giveaway, I’m sure you’ll have a ton of entries!

I shared!

I have found no better way to learn about community events then the Outside Inn blog. I also love the beautiful photographs

My favorite thing about the blog is the way you bring the community together in so many ways. Your photography of our local area and especially the photographs you take from our local events is the best I’ve seen. You have an eye for capturing our community spirit in photographs. Thanks for putting together this giveaway!

Always great fun to see Erin’s posts and more than impressed by her serving of our community!

I love all of the information that this blog provides! My favorite part of the year is Victorian Christmas and I like seeing pictures of the outfits people wear. It’s such a beautiful time of year!

I love that while I feel pretty plugged into our community, I learn about new events and happenings from your blog. You really cover a wide array of opportunities. Thanks, Erin!

You weren’t kidding about this being the most amazing giveaway ever! My mom and I stayed at the Outside Inn this past weekend for Victorian Christmas. It was truly a magical experience, from the wonderful accommodations, to the beauty of Victorian Christmas, to the incredible way the people of Nevada City come together to create such a festive and memorable experience for locals and guests alike. I have been visiting Nevada City at least once a year for 36 years, and I can easily say that this town is one of a kind, in the best way possible. No place on the map speaks to me quite like Nevada City does! I dream of living there one day. In the meantime, it would be glorious to be gifted this spectacular giveaway!
Thank you again for giving my mom and I such a perfect place to stay last weekend. I can’t wait to come back for some “glamping!”

Hi …here I am looking at this long list of donors to Outside Inn and am always amazed how this community contributes to the whole of us. Thank you for what you do and to Outside Inn for hosting our visitors. Thank you for your blog and I have shared on FB.

It’s hard to say how many great tips I’ve gotten from this blog everything from awesome river spots great hikes where to buy my Christmas tree – things to do with my friends children on and on and on ! I so appreciate the time you take to do this – Not to mention your frequent an incredible giveaways I do love a contest ! fingers crossed!

Love your blog. It’s always loaded with great information about events and activities and lovely photos of the area.

Outside Inn is always giving away something special! I personally love the photography and how connected you are with this community Sharing on IG❤️

My favorite thing about the blog is that it gets the word out about the great variety of things going on in our wonderful little community. We appreciate your hard work in spreading he word about Nevada City!

Our 20th wedding anniversary was spent snuggled up at the delightful Inn Town Campground!!! Can’t wait to return!!!

I love Nevada City and I love that you let people around here know what’s going on locally. Seems like I’m constantly finding out about local hikes or meet ups or community events I never hear about elsewhere. Oh and love your photography! Such lovely places around here that you capture perfectly! Thanks for the chance to win!

I love that you’re doing this again. It’s been so amazing to see the progression of this blog since it started. I loved your post on Riverhill Farm berry picking. Back when I ran the crepe stand Elevensies (before it was sold to Calla Lilly Crepes), we prided ourselves on using fresh, seasonal, local ingredients. I would go up to the farm every couple days and pick fresh strawberries for our Strawberries and Cream crepes, as well as blackberries for our “The Mama’s” crepe: lemon curd, whipped cream, poppy seeds and blackberries. Picking berries from Alan and Jo’s farm was like a secret get away from the hustle and bustle of the stand. Even though I was working, it felt like a quiet retreat in the morning air. I loved it. I still make it out at least once a year for their berry picking days. They are such a gift to our community. And on top of that, they plant for the honeybees!

Shared the love also!

We discovered Inn Town Campground this summer and one of our new favorite activities is hitting up the Nevada City farmers market and then swimming in the Yuba River. Thank you for all the tips on various swimming holes!

I really love your photos, and your blog is great. Thanks for doing what you do! shared on fb.

I LOVE your blog Erin. While John and I are on the other side of the literal globe, California and all our friends and family feel like they’re 5 seconds away virtually. It’s such a treat to read your witty prose and gaze misty-eyed at the photos. While it does make me a little bit homesick it reminds me how lucky we are to have grown up in such an amazing place as the West and always feel like we have somewhere to come home to. It was so great to see you and the InnTown Campground this fall! I can’t wait to be back in the area again someday so John and I can both visit. You and Dan have created such a unique and special place. Thanks for being an inspiration!!! And don’t forget, you’ll have a place to stay in Jerusalem if you can get over here!

This is one of the many reasons I love my community. I’ve never lived in a place that is not only so welcoming, but so giving in definitely more ways than one. I love this so much, and I would be tremendously grateful if I won!

Victorian Christmas. I also shared on twitter and Facebook.

I love Outside Inn and Nevada City. I love your Facebook page and how you share what’s going on. I love how beautiful the city is and Victorian Christmas. This year we discovered Constitution Day and had so much fun at the reenactment site in the beautiful park. It was very educational for all of us, especially the kids and my boys loved the musket drills. I love the old buildings in town too. Thank you!

Hi Erin! Good job on putting this together, as usual! What an amazing community we have here. A friend of mine recently moved here after I told her about what fantastic people make up the community here and she couldn’t agree more.
My favorite blog posts you do are always the ones in Fall. It is my favorite time of year here (although Christmas time is equally amazing) because of the picturesque colors and you are able to capture it beautifully. Thank you for all you do!

I love how Outside Inn covers the Nevada City Winter Craft Show at MIner’s Foundry. I am a vendor at that show and I believe that your articles contribute to our great turnout every year. Thanks!

I shared, love the way our town support and keeps local business’ thriving. Rock on Nevada county!

Nevada city has always been one of my favorite places to visit. Since discovering the Outside Inn and the visit Nevada city blogs I’ve discovered even more reasons to be smitten by the beauty and abundance of all that is Nevada city! The photos draw me in over and over. Every time I visit I look back at the blogs and make it a point to see many of the local spots and favorite businesses highlighted.

Love Nevada City, your blog and the Outside Inn. We attended the Constitution Day Parade for the first time this year and loved the end with all the Presidents! Merry Christmas!

I love being reminded of all the things that make me love and miss my home town. That, and my husband and I spent our first overnight get away at the Outside Inn 15 or so years ago

Wow, what a giveaway! What I love most about the blog, and your instagram, is your infectiously-positive attitude. I have moments where I yearn for the sea, or crave wide open spaces, but you continue to remind me of the beauty in my backyard. Thanks for that. ♥

Erin, your giveaways just keep getting better and better. They give such a wonderful nod to all the amazing local businesses in our community! My favorite posts of yours are usually the ones involving wine or the ones that showcase our incredible artists, though your Riverhill post might be your most beautiful.

Happy holidays!

I absolutely love the pictures you post. I’ve lived here for 35 years and the pics always show me a new view and/or perspective.

Hi Erin, I love the blog because it makes me feel like I am up in my favorite place–Nevada City – even when I am down in the valley. I love your pictures and updates on the weather and activities. We just booked two nights for next December in the inn so we can fully experience the Christmas festivities up there and curl up by the fire or hop in the big tub at the Cabin rather than having to drive down the hill. Shared the giveaway on facebook too!

I’ve learned bed reading your blog in my 2 years of living here. Thanks for all you do for our town!

Wowza – that isn’t a word often used in my vocabulary, but what a fantastic giveaway! Anyway your blog keeps me up to date on events and your photos are a feast for the eyes. It showcases the magic of this community so well! Thanks so much!

I so miss all the wonderful events in Nevada City and reading your blogs and seeing your photos on FB always bring back such great memories. My recent favourite was the Victorian Christmas blog. I used to work at j.j.jackson’s for many years and remember those fun evenings and the Sunday celebration fondly. So, thank you. And if I didn’t have so many friends to stay with when I come back to visit every year, I would definitely be staying at the Outside Inn! Merry Christmas from Shannon in Port Townsend, WA.

Favorite picture is from Presidents Day and how it instantly creates a time machine effect of going to my uncles old glass blowing shop as a kid. Great memories with great people in one of the more beautiful places in Ca. Excited to be able to take my kids and show them that history.

I love following Outside Inn on social media because you bring me the best of my hometown through every season. I miss being there but I love every snapshot you share and they make me feel so connected! Thank you!

The incredible number of comments you have received on this post says it all. I love that the blog showcases the wide variety of things that make our community such a special place to live and visit. From the arts, to the trails, to the stories behind local businesses, it is a reminder of all the good around us. Thank you!

Best Little Big Thing in Nevada City is the Outside Inn! Love all the rooms, and even us locals can sometimes use a “getaway”!

What I love about this blog is that every single day I can see something fun and cool to do along with beautiful pictures of our wonderful community I call home! This is an amazing place in the world we live in and, Erin, you always capture it so well! Thank you for sharing! Happy holidays!

I just discovered this blog and very excited about it. I’m new to Nevada City and its just what I need to find out about local events!!

My momma would die for this <3 so great how you got so many businesses in there.

I discovered this blog last year and am so grateful for it! In summer you posted local hiking trails and I went to the ones you posted with my family and had a wonderful time. I’ve lived here my whole life and am still discovering new things through this blog :).

I love getting pictures of home while I’m at school. Especially being able to see the seasons change when I don’t have a chance to come home to see the leaves change and the river swell and downtown all decorated for something. 🙂 It makes me so happy every time a blog post shows up in my inbox. I always make my friends come look at the photos of my town.

What an amazing give away! My family has been going to the Victorian Christmas in Nevada City for a few years now and we loved the Craft fair this year ❤ I made sure to pintrest this

My favorite posts this year were about the evolution of the Inn Town Campground. You and Dan did an amazing job, and it was fun watching it grow from the ground on up!

Hello, love your blog and Nevada City! We live in North Lake Tahoe, Alpine Meadows and our day trip is usually to Nevada City to walk and shop and have a wonderful lunch at Three Forks! Hope I win the giveaway

We love Nevada City and The Outside Inn. Reading the Blog sorta keeps us up to date on the Happenings. The Prize would be such a cool way to explore the Town while staying at the Outside Inn.

Wow! I shared with my Facebook friends! Thank you for putting this contest together and for all your amazing blog posts! Happy Holidays!

I’ve shared on Facebook. Thank you for all you do for our community

I love the Outside Inn Blog – whenever I try and explain how wonderful our community is I direct them to your blog and say “better pictures and explanation than I can do here!”

I miss my home town of 49yrs. Had to move recently and really enjoy your pics on your blog. Will also share on facebook.
