Holiday rentals with lake access in Northern California

This place was even better than the pictures (which looked amazing when we booked it). Everything was perfect! Enjoying the day on the back deck was definitely a highlight for my family. The neighborhood felt very safe and was nice to walk around. We can't wait to stay here again!

Great location. Wonderful host.

Quiet street, very nice deck and dock, and easy access to lake. Home was very clean, well equipped with kitchen equipment and plenty of bedroom/bathroom linens and towels. we only had a couple of questions once there and Robert responded in minutes. very satisfied with service and home.

This was great family experience. Our kids loved fishing and utilizing the paddle boats. Beautiful, peaceful private property. Daniele is very helpful and quick to respond. She has a kind demeanor and is attentive. I love the set up of her place. Very cozy and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this location. We had a wonderful time!! Thank you Daniele!!

Fantastic stay by the lake! The location was right on the water and so close to some great amenities like coffee, donuts, jetskis, and much more. I’d definitely look into booking again when I’m looking for a place to stay by Clear Lake.

This place is amazing and such a nice retreat not too far north of the bay area. Often you find an Airbnb that isn’t fully equipped for cooking, bathing, living, etc. but this house is truly “turn key” and has everything you need. Add the grill and backyard space along the lake, and the arcade games, and it makes for a wonderful stay. We would love to stay again and again in the future whenever we need a quick break from the city.

We spent the Labor Day weekend here. The house was great - clean and enough spaces for 2 families. The house was at the channel of the clear lake- basically at the entrance of the lake. We brought our inflatable SUP boards and had a great time going into the lake and go look at the houses in the channel. Our kids had a great time in the yard. The kitchen is fully equipped and enough seating for all of us. Definitely recommended!

Beautiful home! So spacious for our group to all spread out and have their own spaces while also having large gathering areas. Beautiful view!

Really enjoyed our stay at Shamus home. Very close to ski area. Clean home, well maintained. Very responsive host. Recommend this place.

My family felt very comfortable in Suzanne's condo. There was plenty of room and the amenities were great. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could need. The beds were very comfortable. The best part of the stay was having Suzanne as a host. She was very quick to respond to our questions and gave exact directions to find the condo.

Really nice spot , host was super accommodating. Clean and easy to get inside.

Nice location very close to the lake and many restaurants. Clean and comfortable unit, perfect for 4 people for the weekend.

Heidi’s place is one of my best air b n b experiences. Her house is clean comfortable, snacks and cookware made for an easy transition. The apartment was beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like she cares about her guests and their experience. The unit is quiet and parking was always right in front. Really nice cafe nearby. Laundry mat was clean and easy to get a machine on the weekdays. I live in oakland but needed a place to stay for a month and it was a mini vacation staying by the lake. A few times I ran into Heidi as she was out walking her dog, she is a joy.

Loved this place! We’ve been traveling around a lot and seen too many lackluster Airbnbs so this unit was a breath of fresh air. The place was clean! It’s eclectic without being too crowded or busy. The kitchen table is cute, there are great books and lots of lovely stuff to look at. The kitchen is much better stocked than most and Bree was a breeze to communicate with. We needed to add an extra night and she made it super simple and responded quickly. It’s easy to walk the lake and get to restaurants on lakeshore or grand and also the farmers market on Saturdays. There are stairs but they help you get your steps in! We would easily stay here again!

Missy and Sonny were great and super acoomadating. They even gifted us some bubbly for our anniversary. 100% would recommend a stay at their wonderful home.

John’s place was definitely as he described. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our time here and would stay here again. It was a perfect weekend getaway when you need some much needed time off. John was extremely detailed and responsive and make the check in and out easy.

We love staying here. The house is comfortable and well equipped. There's good food and the lake/beach within walking distance. The hosts are responsive, helpful, and friendly.

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

Very happy with this stay. Some parts that especially impressed me was the quality of the bed and bedding, the TV had Roku, the heater worked well to warm up the space quickly. Overall you can just really tell that the hosts chose high quality with everything, and pay attention to the details that make a big difference.

Hi my name is David I have stayed at Barbara‘s absolutely gorgeous cute/cozy home on the lake in Lakeport I highly recommend this place to anyone not only the place is nice and clean and comfortable but the location it’s at on the lake is absolutely perfect so yes I give her 100 stars

This cabin was perfect for our stay. The kitchen was very well-stocked with everything needed to cook and the quality of everything was high. The host was very communicative and clear about some of the quirks of the house (like the cool mini-dishwasher). Would stay here again.

Our hosts clearly put a lot of effort into organizing, furnishing and maintaining their little cottage and it shows! For a young family of four and a house-trained dog, it was a great fit for us. We were able to use the location as a launching pad to Northstar and Incline pretty easily with a quick 5-10min walk to the beach, food and grocery. The cottage has a HUGE backyard, perfect for the kids and dog to get outside and play. The hot tub was working and clean. Even though the location was close enough to walk to most anything you would need for a long weekend, the immediate neighborhood was an interesting combination of apartments, new builds and well lived in North Tahoe single-family homes. The rental was perhaps the most upkept home on the block. The only opportunity we found with the rental was both the Primary and the Murphy bed mattresses/frames. They were both comically uncomfortable and overall, a disappointment. Luckily everything else was perfect and we had a great time!

I visited and stayed in cottage 5 in June 2023. Recently, I was lucky enough to get the same cottage, it was really nice to experience the lake during winter season this time in February 2025. Jason and Elaine did a great job of keeping it clean. Me and my husband tried canoeing, and we got drifted away. The hosts were very quick in driving all the way and helping us get back safe to the Airbnb. Elaine also taught me fishing 🎣. It was a lovely visit 😊 Highly recommended for everyone.

We had a wonderful time at Carolyn’s place. We loved spending a day on her deck overlooking the lake - so beautiful. We also took advantage of her fire table out front. She also had a sturdy fold out table for dining - we initially didn’t see it in the pictures but she actually had everything we needed to enjoy a full meal around a table. Bonus points that we could fold it away for more space when not using! Carolyn was also very responsive and checked in daily on how we were doing. Would love to come back!
