Farmstay vacation rentals in Central California

Avila is a beautiful place to stay with a stunning beach. John went above and beyond for us to help us set up with a cot for our little one, and despite my bad communications on checking in time. John gave useful trip information prior to arrival to help us with our holiday planning, and helped explain local places to visit and eat at when we got there.

Excellent place for a weekend getaway, very fun and cozy!

My significant other and I had such a great stay! Fawzia was an incredibly warm and welcoming host — super easy to communicate with. Her husband was also very kind, and their sweet dog made me feel right at home. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I also loved seeing all of their beautiful birds on the property — such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend booking with Fawzia!

Loved the property. Very peaceful. The best part was walking around in the morning, listening to bird song (identified 30 species) and enjoying a cup of coffee.

We had such a peaceful and memorable stay at this cabin! We rented it for our trip to Yosemite, and it was in a great location—close to town and a very convenient drive to the park. The surroundings were quiet and beautiful, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The cabin itself was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights for our family was spending time outdoors. My daughter especially loved being around the horses—it was such a special experience for her. And my son completely fell in love with Bear, the sweetest dog ever! We appreciated the calm, welcoming atmosphere and all the thoughtful touches throughout the space. It was the perfect place to disconnect, slow down, and enjoy nature. Highly recommend this cabin to anyone visiting Yosemite or just looking for a peaceful getaway. We’d love to come back!

Lilly and Jon are great hosts. Their ranch is absolutely stunning and something very special to experience. The nearby rolling hills and animals that you can interact with are priceless on their own. The amount of space you get is well worth the money. There is a bedroom with a king bed, entirely separate living room that has a sofa sleeper, coffee bar, and large bathroom. There is also an outdoor kitchen area that has more than you need for a short stay. I used to clean hotels and have a high standard of what clean looks like and I can honestly say I’ve never stayed somewhere that felt so clean which I was not expecting for a ranch stay. Looking forward to finding time to go back for another stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at the fish house! It is adorable and the calm atmosphere makes for a perfect vacation. The wood cabin features are great and access to canoes and kayaking was super fun. We grilled and used the fire pit both nights. Stars ⭐️ are stunning at night. Thank for a wonderful stay!

this place is totally private! we had daily visitors in the form of livestock and turkeys and hummingbirds and completely loved it

We had such a wonderful stay at Maverick Hill Farm! The views were absolutely beautiful and the setting was so peaceful. Mike, our host, was incredibly friendly and shared great information about the farm that made our visit even more special. The animals were a highlight—friendly dogs, a sweet cat, gentle horses, chickens, and even rabbits and lizards that my toddler loved spotting around the property. We enjoyed watching the horses being exercised on the obstacle course, which was such a unique experience. The space had everything we needed—coffee, towels, cozy blankets—and my dad and I enjoyed dinner at the picnic table almost every night. The location was also perfect for stargazing—clear skies and so many stars! My toddler had the time of his life, and we made some really special memories. We’d love to come back!

We had a truly wonderful stay! From the moment we booked, Pallavi went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for…checking in on our safe arrival as we drove all the way from South Texas to Central California, and even wishing us well on our travels. She was incredibly communicative and shared tons of helpful local tips and recommendations, which really enhanced our visit. The cottage, felt completely private and peaceful. One of the standout features was the beautiful, expansive garden, full of seasonal fruits and vegetables that we were welcome to harvest and enjoy during our stay. Everything was thoughtfully organized, with a detailed guestbook that covered everything from check-in/out instructions to local attractions and a guide to what crops were in season. It made us feel right at home and gave us plenty of options for things to do and enjoy. We chose this stay to visit Sequoia National Park, which is only a scenic 45-minute drive away. Truly a hidden GEM!!

A great cabin if you are looking for a little get away from near by cities or traveling internationally to head to Yosemite. Booked this lovely cabin for a birthday weekend with the girls. Very spacious. Used the full kitchen to be able to bake a cake and have a wholesome dinner made. TWO BATHROOMS!! Just a little heads up, neighbors are very close by and not as secluded (closed off) as we thought but that’s okay! We ended up making friends with a neighbor close by anyway & overall great experience.

We just absolutely loved this Airbnb. We will definitely book here next time we are in town. The Longhorn on the property added a fun experience. It is just 9 minutes from downtown and 7 minutes from DAOU Vineyards which is a really nice venue.

We really enjoyed our stay at this spacious clean welcoming lodge with a great outdoor dining and seated area. Midpines cabin was fully equipped with everything you need. Sharon was super helpful and responsive Thanks for a great stay.

I had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, which made everything super easy from check-in to check-out. The location was perfect—quiet, safe, and close to everything I needed. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks again for a great experience!

One of the cleanest airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at! There are also so many fun things for kids to do, from an outdoor basketball court, huge pool, yard for ball games, an indoor basketball arcade game and a fun game room basement. The one thing is that when we were taking a walk outside on the road in front, five minute walk away on the other side of the train tracks there are very dangerous dogs that came running at us and encircled us barking and very aggressive. Just a warning to people about taking a walk outside, especially if you have kids, keep the fence closed!

Sonja was a fantastic house and the house was exactly as described. We had a great time. It was relaxing and super convenient to all the local attractions. We'd stay again on our next trip.

We picked Courtney’s house due to its location between two entrances of Yosemite. Courtney communicated with us throughout our reservation and our stay. The home was warm and inviting, had all the amenities needed, and luxurious bedding!! We were on a tour of California with our daughter, our granddaughter and of course my husband, and we were celebrating 3 milestone birthdays. Upon arrival we found cupcakes from a local bakery along with the nicest note left wishing us the best on celebrating with this beautiful trip!! Now that is how to kick off a trip!! I highly recommend Courtney and

This was our second visit to Lee Ann’s home. This time we were able to appreciate the lush summer vineyards, afternoon breezes, and even picked a few apricots. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views and the peace and quiet of the countryside.

What a wonderful place to spend some time in peace and relaxation . I plan on heading back again.

It is as beautiful, quiet and comfortable as all of the reviews say and more.

Loved this AirBNB!! It’s the perfect place to rebalance your life. Connect with nature and loved ones! Close enough to outside activities but far enough to feel the quietness of nature! I really couldn’t recommend this home enough. We truly enjoyed our time there!

The cabin is beautiful. It looks just like the pictures. Peaceful, clean, and convenient location for visiting Yosemite. Host is responsive and friendly. Had a wonderful stay and hope to be back someday!

Liesl and Marcel’s cottage was just as described in the listing and they responded promptly to any questions I sent their way. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable and we loved the remote location. Clingan’s Junction Coffee was an added bonus that was only 10 minutes away. We stayed 3 nights and could’ve happily stayed another night or two. Thanks for a great stay Liesl and Marcel!

A magical stay at Adele and Carlo’s home. A peaceful, relaxing and serene place, nestled in the mountains where light filtered through the large windows. What a magnificent scenery! This family of four adults comfortably enjoyed the decor and layout, a very well stocked kitchen, grill, cinema room, music, decks, and adjacent trails. Everything was very well explained in the handbook. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you Adele and Carlo!
