Lake house vacation rentals in Northern California

We had a fantastic stay at this lakeside cabin! The location is absolutely stunning—right on the lake with truly incredible views. We spent our days kayaking (there’s a tandem and a single kayak available), relaxing in the hot tub, and enjoying meals on the deck with the water just steps away. It’s also quite private, which made it the perfect place for our group to unwind, play guitar, and sing late into the night without worrying about neighbors. The kitchen was very well stocked, which made cooking at home easy and enjoyable. And for wine lovers, this is a great base—we visited 6Sigma Winery for their private tour and tasting, which was absolutely worth it! There are a couple of things to be aware of: The lake water was murky, so we didn’t swim. And at night, the mosquitos/bugs were intense—huge swarms would gather around the lights. A helpful tip: keep the doorway lights off at night and use the outside lights away from the door to draw the bugs elsewhere when going in or out!

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.

My son and I were able to catch over a dozen catfish ranging from 11 lb -18 lb right from the dock.

loved everything about this place!

Your home made a great stay, thx so much

Our stay was wonderful. We were able to visit with family that lived in the area. Get out and about and return to a very comfortable home in the evenings. Thank you Ryan for making our trip great. Hope to return again soon. Kathy and Frank Lake from Colorado.

We loved the location, which is within 3 miles of Sequoia National Park entrance. The pool area had a child protection gate/fence around it, which really put our minds at ease. The balcony views were lovely! Really loved the interesting art work as well!

What a great house. Fantastic location right on the lake. The deck and the pier to the boat dock are amazing! The house is very cozy and comfortable. There are lots of different seating arrangements/places to hang out (inside and outside). The kitchen is super well-equipped, and the beds are very comfortable. Overall, this is a great find. We had an enjoyable and relaxing time here. We will be coming back.

Very cute home. Walking distance to King’s Beach and surrounding restaurants. Very well equipped with everything you need for a stay. Wish we had more time. Thank you for calling/messaging about item we left behind in enough time for us to come back and get it. :)

Beautiful A frame cabin amongst the tall trees. Very clean cabin with crisp clean linens and cozy beds. A large patio with comfortable furniture and a grill made for relaxing time outdoors. Within walking distance to the lake in a safe neighborhood. Would highly recommend and would stay again at this cabin.

We had a great stay and this was a perfect location for a visit with family in the area. The home had all of the amenities we could possibly need and was very comfortable both inside and out. The location is great for lake access or to just enjoy the view. A great place that we will definitely return to!

Modern, comfortable home with a gorgeous view of the lake!

We really enjoyed our stay and the use of the hot tub after a day of hiking. Very clean house, comfy beds, fluffy towels, multiple beach/hot tub towels too, and a great place to come back to after a day of adventuring. Comfy sofas and yard area to unwind. Walked down to Patton Beach with the dog. Lots of restaurants to choose from in the nearby areas. Quiet neighborhood to stay and relax in early June! We'd definitely stay here again.

The rock house is unique, private, and beautiful home. Nestled in, the cabin is bigger than it looks. Upstairs loft is perfect space for the kids. And the large decking opens the living area to outdoors. My family and I rent this cabin every year, it’s our home away from home. Diann, until next year! Thank you 🙏🏼

Our party of 8 ( 6 adults and 2 kids) plus 2 pets stayed for 2 nights and this beautiful cabin accommodated all of us very comfortably! We stayed in the entire time and there was plenty of entertainment for us and the kids. The views were absolutely breathtaking! The host was VERY responsive. We ran into some inconveniences upon arrival but thanks to the host’s quick responses, the issue was solved immediately! I would highly recommend this cabin, we would definitely be coming back!

Our second stay at this sweet little cottage. All the amenities we needed. Super cozy and quiet except for nature sounds. Just what we needed. Bonus points for the really nice shower with the tankless on-demand heating. Hot water all the time.

My family and I stayed here for our Christmas Vacation and it was perfect for us. Had so many beds to choose from and had a great cozy cabin feel. The place was very spacious and the views were beautiful. Thank you so much for letting us stay here and giving us great instructions for our stay.

The Half Shell is a wonderful, magical place to stay. Everything was perfect. Thank you Marc for the delicious bottle of wine. Absolutely loved you place. Hope to be back soon. Maureen

Wow Wow Wow!!! The view and grounds are amazing! The beds are all very comfortable and the linens are super soft. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware which made dinners easy. Plenty of seating and tables for all 8 of us. Bathrooms are updated with all of the amenities. The outdoor area was our favorite. They have many outdoor option’s when it comes to seating. Couches, lounges, chairs, beautiful large grass area, not to mention the kayaks, paddle boards and tubes. Steve and Sachie’s place is conveniently located to many of the surrounding cities. Our favorite restaurant was a very short drive and so delicious. Twelve 28 Kitchen will not disappoint. I have to end this review with Wow the view is amazing from this home. Thank you Steve and Sachie, we can’t wait to come back! Patti

We stayed here for a family winter trip with 5 adults and 2 little children. We didn't feel cramped once, and the property made our trip a great one. The sunset views of the lake are top notch. The decks, grills, and hot tub are an amazing addition to any trip. We didn't even use the game room until our last day there, and when we did it felt like we are at a whole new place again. We would definitely rebook this property. The drive way as described is very steep but manageable, and the exterior of the property is canvased in surveillance cameras, which didn't bother us and it's described in the listing, but was the most cameras I've seen on a property. Overall, this is a 5-Star property and worth booking!

This is a comfortable and fun place to stay that allows both for relaxing and enjoying the river, as well as exploring the area - so much is close by! We really enjoyed our stay.

This is our 2nd visit to Lisa's house in Rio Nido. Exactly as we remember, the house had just the right amenities for our stay: well equipped kitchen, spacious & comfortable bedrooms, indoor & outdoor spaces to spend quality time. We love the neighbourhood's peaceful feel and the easy walkability to the park, playground, roadhouse, and beach. Highly recommended.

Beautiful house. So peaceful and calm. Great access to the lake and campground amenities. House was spacious enough for 3 families with young kids to run around and play together. Well-stocked kitchen and pantry items. Karen was super helpful when a WiFi issue came up and she fixed it quickly. We would definitely stay again!

A beautiful place to stay with plenty of space for the whole family. You can barely tell this is a dog friendly rental (minus the sweet doggy gift Masha left!). We would definitely come back here.
