Holiday rentals with lake access in Northern California

Neil and Eva were amazing hosts! They accommodated multiple changes in my reservation, and very responsive. home was beautiful and clean, great location out of the wind of the main lake. Every thing we needed was there. plenty of room for 3 trucks with trailers. launch is really close to home and made extremely convenient for launching and mooring! Slip in channel can accommodate only 2 boats, not 3 if owners boat is in slip. My wife and I will definitely be back soon, thank you again for everything!

This was our second time staying here & like the first, it did not disappoint. I can definitely see it becoming our come-to spot. It really has everything you need inside & out, for a nice, peaceful, relaxing time on the lake. We really enjoy our time here. The weather was perfect & fishing was great. The lake had a bit more algae this time, but that’s always iffy here & didn’t take away from being able to enjoy our time here. The nights were clear & cool & perfect for stargazing. Jeff is a fantastic host, kind & very responsive.

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.

Daniele was very polite in her communication and always responsive. Also, she was flexible with check in time. Would recommend this location to others.

The updates to the home were awesome. This was our 7th visit and love it so much. Our kids love the lake, swimming, tubing and fishing there. Great fun, would highly recommend a visit. Thank you Ryan!

Stayed overnight and totally enjoyed the quiet and peaceful place. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended and definitely will stay here again!

We had a great time at Jason's house! We took advantage of the numerous games available in the coffee table chest, and the arcade games in the game room. It's a fun place and it was also very clean when we arrived. Jason was very responsive when we had a bit of an issue with the key box. Overall we had a great experience and we would willingly come back again!

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!

Lovely, clean and comfortable apartment that is under ten minutes' walk to Stagecoach chair at Heavenly. Living room and bedrooms are warm and plush. The kitchen is fully equipped and has more than enough space. It's a great place to chill out after a long ski day. Slightly challenging to get to — Tramway drive is long and twisty, plus the apartment itself is a few flights of stairs above the street level. But, that's a fair tradeoff since you're right up on the mountain at 7.5k feet.

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.

I have nothing but good things to say about Heidi's place. I stayed here for all of February and found it quite accommodating for the length of my stay. The bed is quite comfortable and the bathtub was a great addition. This place gets great light, with a lovely outdoor porch, conveniently located near Lake Merritt. Would stay here again!

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!

A very comfortable to lay my head after long days. When I come back this way I will look them up first.

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.

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!

We had a blast visiting the boat house! We love how clean and organized everything is in this space. We appreciate how quiet the mountain community is. It was the perfect peaceful getaway for our family’s vacation. Thanks for being such great hosts! Can’t wait to be back!

This lovely cottage was perfect for us, best of all we were able to bring our dog. The location is very walkable to shops, restaurants, and the lake! Short drive to all the north side ski resorts. We will definitely stay again. Thanks for hosting us Tom and Margie!

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.

The house and view are beautiful. The kitchen is one of the best stocked I have seen at an air bnb (it needs a wire whisk tho). I loved the stove! It was a very peaceful and relaxing stay. The only negative I have is the bed and pillows were pretty hard. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

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!

Melissa's Cottage is a real feel-good place. You enter the accommodation and feel right at home. It is very clean, incredibly cosy and furnished with love. In the morning you are greeted by birdsong and deer in the garden. It is about 1 hour away from Yosemite National Park. The perfect place to switch off. We would definitely come back. Thank you Melissa for this accommodation!
