Sunnybrook Cottage

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews2 months ago

Larry’s place up in Sonora was great for a weekend getaway. It was just me and my Boyfriend but it’s also great for guests up to 4 or 5; thinking about renting it out with a couple of friends in the future. It was only a 30 to 40 minute drive from Pincrest and Dodge which was perfect. There’s no T.V. Or strong WiFi so you can disconnect from that world and connect with nature and the people you are with. We went on the deck with the easy chairs, bundled up and looked at the stars at night. It was all worth it:)

Little Black Cabin-2 Bd-1 BaPinecrestDodgeridge*

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 58 reviews2 weeks ago

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Mary’s charming and stylish cabin in Long Barn. If you don’t know the area, Long Barn is a great location to stay if you’re planning on visiting Pinecrest Lake, Strawberry, and Dodge Ridge (about 20 minutes up the mountain). It’s also convenient to Twain Harte, Sonora, and Columbia. The house has a great fenced yard and front porch. And it’s very cozy, with a wood burning stove, mattress warmers, and piles and piles of blankets. The hot cocoa was also a nice touch. It also had perhaps the best stocked kitchen of any Airbnb I’ve stayed in. I highly recommend Mary’s place for a trip to the Sierras!

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviews1 month ago

We had a beautiful stay in this gorgeous Twain Harte home. The space was perfect for our family—beds for everyone and a large common space to spend time together. Everything was clean and comfortable. We cooked many meals in the well supplied kitchen and found everything we could want in terms of cookware, utensils, etc. We enjoyed the provided games and nights gathered around the fireplace as there was a 3 day snow storm during our trip. There is something wonderful about soaking in the hot tub while the huge snowflakes float down around you. We had a few questions for Lisa as a result of the storm and a small issue, and she responded quickly and kindly. Can recommend —it was a great stay.

Private Creek, Majestic Mountain Views, Huge Decks

5 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews1 month ago

This was our first time doing a trip into the snowy mountains of northern CA. The house was a great place for us to stay as a family. It is conveniently located, close to Mt Shasta City. You have a beautiful view at Mt Shasta from the upstairs rooms. The house has a very unique charm to it and offers endless possibilities. There are so many beautifully decorated rooms and cozy places you can choose from. The communication with the host was easy and flawless. I would always come again.

Relaxing Riverside Retreat (hot tub and waterfall)

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 28 reviews2 months ago

Beautiful stay! There are hidden gems ALL over this property just waiting to be explored. The constant sound of the waterfall is soothing and peaceful. We spent two full days just at the house and never ran out of things to do. Our kids played outside from sunup to sundown and loved every minute. The toys, games, and general kid supplies were great and prevented us from having to bring everything with us. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the pool table was a huge hit. It is an easy 15-minute drive down the mountain into town for supplies if needed. There were some issues with the water pump when we arrived (no water to the house) but Sam was quick to respond and send someone out to fix it. When the problem persisted and we had to keep resetting the pump to get water, Sam came out himself to get it fixed and also brought 10 gallons of water to keep us stocked. Most responsive and helpful host we've ever had! We've already told our friends about it and would def book again.

Just a great overall experience. I’m a road road mechanic and travel a lot. May need to check in and out at any moment. Host was so understanding and willing to work with my hectic schedule. My wife loved the river view. Otters, fish, and birds to watch right from bed. Safe, quite and comfortable neighborhood. Cameras out front made me feel comfortable parking my service truck out front. I would love to stay a couple days just to relax.

Lakeside Retreat: 2 Gated Acres and 2 Homes

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews3 months ago

Overall, the stay was very satisfactory and suited our needs. Space heaters are in the closet as there is not central heat. We had planned some family coming just for the day to visit. That went over the guest capacity, so we had to cancel plans to allow family members to visit. It was strictly family members, but there was no flexibility regarding that request, which we did not think would be a problem as they were coming for just a few hours for the day. There was no loud partying planned. Just parents, grandparents, and a siblings gathering before and after a wedding., which we made clear with the host. We understand the concerns of loud partying or hosting a major event. I know many people will host friends or family over at a vacation rental for dinner or such, so just FYI that hostess is insistent about the guest count.

Mid-century modern private hideaway in the woods.

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviews2 months ago

We had some last minute scheduling changes, and the hosts were so responsive and accommodating. This is a beautiful, comfortable home with quality cookware, dishes, linens, and beds. The fireplace was just what we needed (and the hosts had the home heated before our arrival). The kids loved the downstairs TV room as well. The property is especially beautiful -- private, with a big yard. Would definitely stay again!
