Family-friendly vacation rentals in San Joaquin River

Tchukon and Carolyn’s home was great! We were a group of 7 and the space fit us all well. Extremely clean, I think the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The hosts were responsive and included lots of helpful information for the house. Backyard is wonderful, and we all really enjoyed the hot tub, especially at sunset. Would absolutely recommend staying here.

Our family didn’t want to leave! The river/waterfall outside is gorgeous, and gives such a peaceful sound that can be heard up at the house. We brought out 4 kids and they loved the playground, waterfall, private bedrooms, and board games. Beautiful kitchen as well!

The home is beautiful!! It is private and secluded but just 2 blocks from the cute downtown shopping. It really is a special place. Old Spanish tudor style with lush landscape and beautiful hardscaping. We had a blast in the pool after after hiking and biking at Yosemite. We used all the wonderful amenities, basketball, pickleball, ping pong, pool and hot tub. The 4 bedrooms were large with very comfortable beds and high end linens and towels. The kitchen was very well stocked and fun to make our family dinners. Our group consensus was this place was our favorite vacation Airbnb

Robert has great taste on designing his place! You can really tell he put in a lot of thoughts about making this place unique! The cute backyard garden is definitely one of the selling points for a group trip! We will be back!

Fantastic place! So many excellent little touches! The pool and hot tub were perfect temp, the view was great, the food/treats were a great addition, and the place was super cozy. We loved the place/host and would for sure stay again.

We were fortunate to find Cabernet's house at the last min while looking for a place to ring in 2025. Nestled at the top of the perimeter of the Yosemite valley in Oakhurst, the house is a rare find. The weather was beautiful, we got to breath refreshing fresh air and got to enjoy all the amenities at the place. Things we enjoyed. <> Wood burning indoor fireplace. The house was nice and toasty. Perfect for end of Dec/Jan temperatures. <> Large fenced yard for our fur babies. I must say this was the highlight of the trip as it's not easy to find properties that have a completely fenced backyard. Our two husky girls sure enjoyed running around a clean grassy hard. Thank you or WOOF WOOF ! <> Beautiful furniture, clean carpets, well stocked kitchens with a lots of pots and pans to cook. <> Cabernet is super responsive. Very happy about this since a host that communicates well makes the entire experience special ! Thanks Cabernet. Looking forward to visiting again !

We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. The entire home was spotless, the running water was warm, and the property was peaceful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get away.

Stayed for a couple of nights with my parents. Had a lovely stay. The house was clean and had all resources. Enjoyed the surroundings, beautiful for walks.

Very clean and spacious place! The bed was comfortable. Would definitely book again when out visiting in the area!

Beautiful cabin located in a quiet, beautiful location in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Overall, the stay was quite pleasant and matched the description provided by the host. This place served as a convenient stopover for our trip from SFO airport to Yosemite. (Just a tip for future travelers: be sure to download offline maps in advance, as there may be no signal along the way.) A couple of areas could be improved: the master bathroom was closed, which was a bit inconvenient, and it would be great to have a dishwasher, cauz hand washing dishes didn’t feel very hygienic.

Amazing stay at this adorable cabin! Check-in was easy, I appreciated the keypad lock for easy entry on arrival. We brought our little dogs and they loved running around the fully fenced yard. The house was warm and rooms were comfortable. Rob was responsive and helpful. Nice location with trees all around but plenty of neighbors so you don't feel isolated. Nickel slot machine and pool table were so fun! The bathrooms are very nice. The only small issue we encountered, was that we got a little lost arriving to the house on the first night, due to our late arrival and it being dark so we couldn't see street signs/ markers clearly. I recommend using Google Maps to arrive, Apple Maps took us to the wrong location. Looking back I could see that Rob's directions were very accurate, I just misread them. The house is right in the area where Kewin Mill Rd. and W. Brookside Drive connect, right near Estralita Dr. if that's helpful to anyone. Thanks for everything and for the lovely stay Rob!

We absolutely loved Heather’s place for our three day visit to Yosemite. There were three of us, and we all had plenty of room, but honestly, we could have brought our daughter’s family with husband and two more kids, and they would have had enough room, as well. We made breakfast in the home, and we packed our lunches for Yosemite. We had everything we needed for making meals and eating in. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and taking in the awesome valley view, especially at sunset. We were able to walk around the property, though it starts out a little steep for walking, and we took pictures of the woodpeckers and California Quails nearby. Heather helped us with some Yosemite tips before we came, and we were able to plan our trip well with her knowledge. She also checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was ok. We really liked this home, and it added to our overall trip.

Bev and Rod are both exceptionally friendly and accomodating hosts. I had brought along a to-go dinner and bottle of wine; then it turned out that when I arrived Rod was at the BBQ making their dinner. So I was able to enjoy wonderful company with my evening meal - on their beautifully paved open patio surrounded by an amazing garden, while having someone with whom to share a glass or two of wine. The acommodations were also impressive, in what I learned is a former town bakery. My room for the night, its little kitchenette, and the bathroom, are without question professionally finished by a master craftsman, and decorated in an interesting artistic and unique welcoming manner. The little table in the bay window with a log hewn bench was especially fun. And a delightful side patio with a second private exit expanded their property's gardens to wonderfully enhance my experience staying here. Overall, I could not have wanted for a nicer stay.

Lindas A-frame is adorable!!! After traveling down from Montana, her cabin was perfect for relaxing & bed beyond comfortable. Lindas home is very accomodating...everything you need. I would definitely stay again and my family as well. Its a perfect retreat!! Very organized too!!!

My family and I stayed here to be close to Yosemite, and it was a pleasant, just over 30-minute drive to get there. The house is easy to find in a quiet, beautiful area, close to town where there are stores and restaurants. The house was perfectly clean, and everything was as described. My family all agreed that we did not want to leave because it was a wonderful stay. We plan to come back to Yosemite, and we plan to stay here again!

Excellent stay in a clean, well-equipped home We thoroughly enjoyed our stay—the place was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed. One minor quibble: the coffee maker was tiny and could only brew two cups at a time, which was a bit inconvenient for our group. The location is fantastic—just about an hour’s drive to Yosemite National Park, making it an ideal base for exploring. The community was undergoing construction, and some roads were closed during our visit. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes to enter and pay the $50 entrance fee, which was frustrating. It’s worth asking the host for an update on access or checking ahead before booking.

Jeff and Gina were great hosts. Responsive and friendly. Close to Yosemite. The kids loved the game room, beds were comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you’d need.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at this super cute little house! It was quiet, peaceful, and had such a cozy, welcoming vibe—we both felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The hosts were incredibly nice and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway!

Beth was an amazing host and the place had everything you will need to feel like home. We had a couple of deers that visited us and that made my day . At night you can sit on the porch and stargazing. Beautiful property . We will definitely come back

We loved our stay here. We were welcomed as we first arrived and were shown around the property and made sure to know how to use all the great amenities this beautiful home has to offer. The jacuzzi and pool were amazing after a long day of hiking. And we felt at home with this amazing stay.

The geodome is a unique stay. The cabin was comfortable and and well-styled. An added bonus is that there's plastic kid-friendly bowls, plates, and cups so we didn't need to worry about our young ones breaking anything. The open layout was ideal for our family to socialize while cooking and there's a cute play area upstairs with toys for the kids. The neighborhood was quiet and we were able to soak in the stars a night next to the fire pit. Maria was super responsive to all of my messages (responded in a few minutes), which was helpful when I couldn't turn on the washer/dryer since the breaker had tripped. Maria helped me locate the electric panel to flip the breaker and there wasn't any further nuisance tripping. We enjoyed staying at Maria and Jared's geodome and would come back again!

Great location, in a beautiful home decorated meticulously! Spacious and set up perfectly for family and friends entertaining! Love this place will be back!!!

It was beautiful, private, and a hidden gem! We had lots of fun and enjoyed all the views throughout the house. The house is even better than the pictures. We had our 2 boys, had plenty to do between the beach, books, basketball, spa, ping pong, and games! We definitely recommend and would go back! Not to mention I love artichokes and this house is located in artichoke city!! So amazing!! 10/10 you won’t be disappointed!
