Cottage holiday rentals in Northern California

Very nicely put together lake front property. Madison was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

We really really like this place. Time moves slower, and it feels very restorative, even if it’s just a weekend. Will easily go again.

Lovely artist’s cottage! The owner’s art and collections are on display, I kept seeing something new every day. Very comfortable and easy to walk to the beach or into town. Had a relaxing and comfortable stay. Slept really well!!

Sarah was the perfect host and made our stay super easy. The property and the neighbourhood exceeded our expectations and made for the perfect time spent in Guerneville. We look forward to staying there again in the near future.

My cousins and I stayed at this place recently and it exceeded all our expectations! It was very peaceful and cozy. We would recommend this place to anyone else thinking about staying here!!

Our family of three had a wonderful time at Riverwood! We appreciated the thoughtful touches -tea kettle, garlic press, as well as books and guides to local history, flora and fauna. The home was clean and comfortable, and the grounds were enchanting! Buttercups bloomed along the path to the river, and the redwood trees towered overhead. The back porch offered a gorgeous view and vantage point to enjoy the birds and wildlife! Don't forget your binoculars! While it was foggy during our springtime stay, the hot tub, claw foot bathtub and fireplace kept us cozy. Town, river beaches, Armstrong Redwoods state park and Jenner by the Sea are all easily accessible from the property's location. Riverwood was a very peaceful and beautiful place to be! Sangeeta was a communicative and attentive host. We had a seamless stay, and no problem finding the property. Communication and directions were all very clear and detailed. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Ellen's place is a very nice quiet place to stay and enjoy a cozy day/night. The views outside are great and there are a lot of places to just relax on a cold day. the only inconvenience is the area around the property. To get there can be tricky, especially at night, and when it's rainy. And parking, especially with a large car is very hard especially if you have to reverse your way out, or reverse in, especially with the steep driveway. Other than that the property was perfect, and everything felt right, Ellen is a very nice host.

What a lovely and peaceful location. We had the best time and loved having all the horses around. Thank you for a great stay!

Great cottage with privacy from the neighbors. Very friendly host. Hot tub was amazing!

Jennifer’s cottage was perfect location to walk to the ocean and spend our days exploring the redwoods. The accommodations were clean and functional. We traveled with our 5 month old and our dog - the cottage was large enough to easily accommodate her pack n play and our pup had a fenced in yard. I’d recommend this stay especially if you are exploring the redwoods as it was a calm place to rest our heads each night, sit by the fire, and play a few board games. Jennifer was very responsive, friendly, and helpful!

Annie was a great host and the place was exactly as described and just what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We loved the hot tub in the backyard and the beach cottage feel of the place. Thank you for hosting us!

Is it fancy? No. But it is reasonably priced, in a convenient location, has a great hot tub, and a wonderful host.

Pebble Beach Surf Cottage was a very quaint and cozy home to stay at, it was a very short walk to the beach, we were able to watch a gorgeous sunset while drinking a cup of coffee to take the chill off of us The house has a stocked keurig, nice stove and oven, full size refrig. All utensils, cookware and accessories for cooking. 3 bedrooms with a queen bed each, very comfy blankets, nice pillows and extra blankets and sheets for a pull out sofa bed, and room with a set of bunkbeds. The bathroom was well supplied with towels, washclothes plenty of TP. There was soap shampoo and conditioner, which was an extra bonus, 3 of us showered we never ran out of hot water! Yay! The décor definitely gives you the beach vibe. Brian, a very gracious host allowed us to check in 2 hours early as well. I highly recommend this Cottage it seems small from the outside, but once inside more than plenty enough room for 4 adults. Definitely a 5 star stay!!!

Very much enjoyed our stay. Jared and Morgan were very upfront on what to expect. If/when we return to the area we would definitely look at staying at the Ophir Inn.

Sundog cottage is lovely! We were so happy to find that it was even more beautiful in person than the pictures. Super clean, great kitchen, deck and backyard were perfect for our dogs and just relaxing and listening to the ocean. The linens are amazing and the beds comfy! Valerie went above and beyond as a host, even left us local eggs, butter and crackers. She was friendly and easy to communicate with. Sundog is a gem and we can’t wait to come back!

We loved our stay and Nick was a responsive and kind host. Was a short trip but we felt very cozy. The home is beautiful and you are close to lots of amazing outdoor experiences. Has all the appliances and tools you might need to make dinner! And extremely reasonable and understandable check out instructions.

This cute home is a true gem. Walking distance to downtown (about 1.5 miles) or a quick drive. Very quiet and peaceful and the back patio is awesome to have your morning cuppa or end of day glass of wine. We were greeted by John's brother, Michael, who was very helpful in showing us the ropes and, since he lives right next door, was available if we needed anything (which we didn't!). Kitchen is well stocked, Keurig coffee machine and a regular pot as well, washer and dryer if you need it, and two separate bedrooms. It's bigger than it looks in the pictures and very comfortable. I go up to Chico every so often to visit friends so it's nice to know I have a good place to stay!

Last airbnb host canceled on us at the last minute and Stephanie was willing to welcome us and told us to come at any time, which was very important because otherwise we won’t have a place to stay for that night. I really appreciate it. The place is cute and clean, very comfortable to live there. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Caspar Cottage! The cottage is clean, comfortable and incredibly peaceful. We enjoyed using the grill and playing board games outside in the evening. The bath tub jets were a favorite perk for our 7 year old. Diane gave us local recommendations and also some great tips for the 2nd leg of our trip further north. She and Bob and gracious hosts and we will definitely be back.

Our stay in Bolinas was fantastic, and we couldn't recommend Francesca's casita more highly. What a peaceful, beautiful setting for exploring Bolinas and the surrounding area. The casita was the perfect size for a long weekend stay for two adults and a toddler, and the large yard and treehouse were a huge hit with the toddler. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked for its size with everything you could need to cook meals, which was very helpful given that dining options in Bolinas are pretty limited. We would definitely return!

We had a beautiful, restorative stay at Marisa’s home. The home interior was very clean, comfortable, cozy and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Nearby Miranda had gas and a great supermarket but the wider area was wonderful too. We explored the Avenue of the Giants, much of the Humboldt Redwood's State Park (countless beautiful hikes and drives), the Eel River, Ferndale (Patches Pastries is a MUST) and surrounds, Shelter Cove, the Lost Coast, and many of the small towns. (Garberville’s IL Forno Bakery another MUST!) Would definitely stay at Marisa’s home again if I visited the area again; it’s access to all of these places was perfect!

We loved everything about this cute little cottage; especially the privacy and location! It is perfectly situated between Fort Bragg and Mendocino so there was plenty to do/see, and our food options were great! We had an absolutely wonderful and peaceful visit. A perfect way to unwind and recharge our spirits! Thank you Heidi and Jen for being great hosts. Can’t wait to come back!

I had a wonderful stay at Robert's place! He was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The space was clean, cozy, and just as described. One of the best Airbnb experiences I've had—highly recommended!"

The Victorian Cottage is lovely -- exactly what you'd expect! The cottage has great period details and many pretty touches, and at the same time it's spotless and bright and everything works perfectly. We were cozy and warm and enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen, and we found lots of nice back streets where we could explore with our dog.
