Riverfront Retreat: Hot Tub, Dock, Kayaks, Bikes
Really enjoyed our stay at Kelly’s in Duncan’s Mills—this place had it all! Beautiful scenic views right off the back balcony and easy river access, made us feel immersed in nature. Plenty to do with your own private dock, kayaks, bikes, hot tub, and nearby town/shops just a mile down the road. Would definitely recommend this spot for a relaxing and fun getaway. Kelly was also an excellent, responsive host and helped make our trip nice and smooth. Thank you!

River House
The River View House was wonderful! Very quiet and peaceful - great for the 7 guests we brought. The river was fun for a quick dip once in a while. The home was clean and spacious. Plenty of linens, towels, and kitchen dishes for us. Nancy was super responsive and helpful. We are planning to come back to the same rental again! We didn’t add on the studio, but likely will next time if we have more guests or more than 2 couples.

Dany's House hot tub/dock/kayak/paddle boat
Host was easy to work with and the location was amazing! We had a great weekend get away for my birthday! The area is super relaxing and quiet. We definitely will book again when looking to go back to Clearlake.

Vista House *Hot Tub* *Luxury/Waterfront*
Great time. So comfortable and quick drive to what we needed and had planned. Very nice property.

Zin & Zen on the River-Hot Tub, Kayaks, Views!
The view looking out into the woods and river from the living room is absolutely breathtaking. We stayed in late April and it was a bit rainy so it wasn’t feasible to enjoy the river, but the location more than made up for it. The proximity to Armstrong Redwoods, Jenner, and several charming nearby towns made for a perfect mix of hiking, beach walks, and exploring local spots.

Pet Friendly Tranquil Home with Hot Tub
Clark's place was just what we needed after our long days in Tahoe. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. His back deck is a great place to relax after a long day out and about. Inside was spacious enough for the 5 of us traveling to be cozy and comfortable in our evenings there.

Stunning, Private Oasis on 3 acres in Trinidad!
Drove in from Idaho for a college graduation at Humbolt. We needed a place for 3 couples. This place worked out perfectly. Eric and Heather were super nice and the communication was great. The place was so nice, kids loves all the space and playing outside with all of the acreage. Would definitely stay here again!

180°OceanView+HotTub+EBikes+Surfboards+SUPS+Kayak
Evan's place provides the best views of the ocean and is located close to multiple beach waves points. The electric bikes made for great fun, as we rode all over town. It was a great place, for a great price. A true million dollar view, especially from the decks. Highly recommend to people of all ages.

FAIRY TALE Yosemite Chalet for Family Relaxation!
We had an amazing stay! The place was clean, very well maintained, and perfect for a group of friends. It came with so many great amenities — from the hot tub to a game room with a couple of arcade games and a pool table — which made our stay even more enjoyable. Jennifer was very responsive and provided clear instructions for both check-in and check-out, which made everything super easy. Honestly, the place is even better than the pictures — the backyard is beautiful and the kitchen is huge and had everything we needed for a 2-day stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing place that's a short drive from Yosemite's south entrance.

Gated Lakefront Cottage #4 w/ Fire Pit & Dock
We had such a great time!! The amenities were so amazing! Paddle boats, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, fishing poles were so amazing! We did not leave except to go to the bait and tackle store! It was amazing! They were so kind and attentive! we had a wonderful time

Cottage Like Suite with Private Hot Tub
This place was perfect for our Anniversary get away! We were able to spend a day at Yosemite riding E-bikes and spend the next day on the lake. We received a discount to rent a boat because of our host and enjoyed the hot tub at the end of each day! There are many restaurants within walking distance, a grocery store, and a fun friendly bar close by. We will definitely be back!

Riverfront Cottage with Hot Tub 1/4 mi from Beach
Perfect place all around.

Shasta Bella - Darling downtown 1-br cottage.
I had a great stay at my little cottage in Mount Shasta. The host was always available to help out and parking in a spot off the alley in the back made it very convenient. There was a beautiful lawn and garden area a great place for my dog to enjoy as well as me.

Riverfront Remodel | Hot Tub | Stunning Views
A friend and I and our daughters had a lovely time staying here. I loved the mix of keeping the historical feel of the house and the tasteful updates the owners have done. We used the provided kayaks and paddle boards to paddle on the river. It is mellow enough that you can paddle up and down without any trouble (at least in mid-June). The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. We used the firepit one night to cook "hobo" dinners and make smores. The spa was also nice. We went to the nearby town of Guerneville to go vintage and antique shopping and eat meals. We also went on a hike near the beach. And nearby Duncan Mills is also a nice place to eat and shop. The nearby Lightwave Cafe is an experience! Definitely recommend a meal there. I would definitely stay here again.

Sunny Riverfront Cottage
Small hiccup getting into the house and Amber was super quick to help! The place was stunning! So beautiful and so well appointed. The home is 10/10!!

Creek View Ranch - 30 Acre Yosemite Retreat
We’ve stayed with Gerson and BethAnn twice now. And we have enjoyed it both times. It’s a great place to make life long memories with my family. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Cabin rentals with a kayak

Family Friendly Cabin on the River-Stunning View!
Our stay at Lucky Bend Lookout was absolutely a dream. I wish I could stay on the porch overlooking the river (with redwoods right on the property!) forever. Despite the space being somewhat small for 8 adults, it was so well-appointed and with so many bonus outdoor spaces that it didn't feel that way. Sarah went out of her way to ensure we understood the details in the listing and had all the info we'd need in advance. The house was very clean, and well-stocked with the essentials. Nothing super fancy but it very much did the job. Hopefully I can come back sometime in the summer when the dock is installed.

"Little Dipper" Magical&Romantic Mountain Modern
Amazing place, amazing location, comfortable accommodations. It was a pleasure to stay here.

Fairy Tale Cottage Retreat, Love Dogs & Disc Golf
We really liked this place. Rural, very scenic. The cabin is very well constructed and well maintained. Nice step-in shower. Good kitchen. Bring food. There aren’t many dining choices nearby. The trading post at Dutch Flat is surprisingly well stocked, which is a good thing because the mini-mart/gas station at the Dutch Flat off ramp is the only other place around to get provisions.

Family Friendly, Spring Hikes & 6 min to the Lake
What an absolute perfect way for us to stay in shaver! The listing matched the pictures and description. The hosts responded so kindly and quick. It was an a quick and easy getaway for our family. Everything was clean and neat. The kitchen was well stocked for what we needed. The pool and spa were very well kept and in a short beautiful walk away. I’m glad we came across this listing. I recommend this A+ location and host!

Sweet Sierra Mountain Cabin
This wonderful little cabin was a great place to spend a getaway weekend with my son. The peaceful, wooded surroundings provided the relaxing backdrop I was looking for and my son was delighted with the wood burning stove. He discovered that the pine cones that were suggested as fire starters did a great job and he had a great time replenishing their supply from the woods around the cabin.

Mountain Meadow Cabin/HotTub/Fireplace/Yosemite/BL
Wonderful place to stay at! Very cute and charming place. Had everything you needed and very clean !!

Mountain eclectic cabin in Lost Sierras on 3 acres
This is our 2nd time staying at Todd's. We love the home and the area. It is one of the cleanest airbnb's we have stayed in. We will continue to stay here as it is a short 2 hour drive from home.

Lake Views -New Hot Tub-Dogs OK
Total relaxation on Chipmunk St. The back yard is a peaceful haven, inducing naps and calmness. Hot tub and fire pit were wonderful. Access to bikes, kayaks was a plus. Walk to beach and downtown easy. Free concert on the beach Friday evening was fun. Great food everywhere we dined. Elaine was very accessible and helpful throughout the trip. Stairwell to bedrooms is a challenge but beds extremely comfy.
