Tiny house vacation rentals in California

we loved the tree house, a great place to unwind after a long drive. really convenient for Avila Beach which is only a short walk away. Thank you John for your recommendations, all very helpful.

Chad and Lara’s place is absolutely stunning. We will definitely come back soon!

Perfect home away from home in the desert. So close to the park and local finds.

We had an amazing stay at this peaceful Joshua Tree retreat. The place was clean, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We especially loved stargazing at night and enjoying the quiet desert vibe. The host was communicative and made check-in super easy. Would definitely come back!

We return to Alison's for a good reason: it's a wonderful home, clean, quiet, comfortable, and very close to Lassen National Park. We have stayed in many AirBnBs over the years and Alison's is at the top of our list.

We just love Ferndale, and have been staying in the perfect and quaint Victorian town for decades on and off. This Airbnb is right downtown, could not be closer to the restaurants and the shops, and historic cemetery. The old barn is a delight, with a lovely view of the back. The proprietors have thought of everything, every little detail and amenity. Charming, quaint, the perfect kind of place to stay at when visiting Ferndale. Highly recommend.

A wonderful little cabin in the redwoods and close to great hiking trails, vineyards, and small towns to explore. Perfect location and beautiful, modern cabin. Louise was very responsive and helpful!

I have stayed here multiple times now and it is my favorite air bnb - such a peaceful getaway!

Alina’s bungalow is an amazing retreat to canyon views with easy access to restaurants and shops. With personalized treatment and a comfortable environment, it’s a welcome respite from the valley.

We stayed at The Den for our anniversary week and it was amazing! Just the perfect size and extremely peaceful for some well needed rest from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Deb had all amenities necessary for an easy and comfortable stay and we enjoyed it so much we ended up extending our stay by a night which Elizabeth happily accommodated. Would recommend!!

Beautiful location, you feel like you’re in a magical realm. The cabin is cute, but it is in the mountains and in the woods so is chilly, make sure to bring sweaters. The hot tub is great, but note that it isn’t a standard hot tub, you sit on the floor of it. Great for us but may be hard for others! I’d highly recommend this spot and we’re thinking about coming again.

The Hexagon exceeded my expectations! If you’re looking for a relaxing and peaceful gateway from the city or just want to be one with nature I would recommend the Hexagon. The property was beautiful - my favorite was the bath tub overlooking the valley. The town of Garberville is quaint and the locals are kind. There are not a lot of options for restaurants but the ones available are delicious. Some of the feedback is me being picky. For example the mattress and couch was okay. There was dog hair on some of the furnitures - kind of expected for a dog friendly accommodation. A microwave and extra toiletries would’ve been nice. Otherwise a great place. My partner and I enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely beautiful and serene place! Exactly as described, with the sounds of nature and beautiful stars at night. The earth berm design made it so we didn't hear anything from the other lodgers, even though they were right next door. A wonderful place to take our pups, too! The host let us run our pups off leash on the lower acreage of the property, and they loved the meadows. We stayed in the Pippin room (blue), and while perfect for us, people with more reactive dogs might want the Frodo (green) or Sam (yellow) rooms at the end of the row. We loved bringing our small TV and DVD player, and having a Tolkien Movie Marathon while we indulged in the host provided second breakfasts and the add-on Shire-cuterie board. The nights we stayed provided a much needed mental reset and reconnect. Highly recommend visiting, and doubly recommend doing it in late spring if possible while the fields are still green and the weather is mild. We visited the first part of May, and it was perfect!

We had a very comfortable, restful stay at the tiny house. One of the best airbnbs I’ve been to. It’s right between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, and about a 50 minute drive to either one. Would highly recommend.

Jonathan’s place is quite beautiful. It’s easy to access with a parking spot and privacy. We were visiting for a wedding in Temecula and his place worked out great for us. The bed was comfortable, hot water and clean bathroom, kitchen has the basics you’d need for a short stay, and overall affordable. Would recommend!

I had a wonderful and quiet time at the cabine. Nice location in the middle of trees and there are beautiful places in the surroundings, like rivers, lakes and more.

Spectacular getaway to unwind, hike, listen to birds, enjoy a glass of wine, and watch the boats go by. Thank you to the gracious hosts.

Loved the location in Topanga and the accommodation. Backyard sauna and tub were wonderful. While it’s not totally private back there, it’s good enough.

We loved staying at Harold's place. Would definitely stay again if back in the area.

Beautiful, secluded barn with a view of the ocean. The wood fireplace made the joint so cozy. The Barn served us well as a pseudo off-the-grid getaway. The bed was comfy and the claw-foot tub and shower had excellent water pressure! Keep your eye out for wildlife. Several very large turkeys greeted us each morning. Know that if you have AT&T you will have minimal service. We will certainly consider coming back here in our next trip to NorCal. Definition of bucolic! Two cautions: watch your head and go down the stairs backward.

The Bird’s Nest was nothing short of amazing!! This peaceful getaway was exactly what my boyfriend and I needed. The surrounding areas are home to rich history and the Bird’s Nest is within an hour of an abundance of activities to do and things to see. Ending our night looking out at the pond and seeing wildlife in the evening and early morning was magical! We loved Lisa’s recommendations for cider tasting at Indigeny Reserve and dinner at The Standard Pour. Don’t hesitate to book yourself a trip to this GEM!

Quaint and quiet retreat with amazing views. Great location - a gem of a getaway and host in the Sonoma Mountains

A great location with an even better host, would highly recommend!

Nestled along a quiet country road, this tiny home offers a quiet, pastoral escape that feels far more spacious than its footprint suggests. Clever design and warm, rustic details invites you to settle in and unwind. The surrounding property is equally enchanting—horses graze nearby, trees rustle in the breeze and coyotes howl at night. Our hosts were wonderfully hospitable, stocking the tiny home with local wine, snacks, and a level of communication that made everything feel effortless. The home’s feline residents, friendly and gregarious, added a charming layer of personality to the stay. Do expect the occasional encounter with wildlife, a reminder that you’re staying in nature’s backyard rather than apart from it. It adds to the experience more than it detracts, especially if you’re seeking something grounded and off the beaten path.
