Cabin vacation rentals in South Fork American River

Creating memories with adult children who are living their own lives can be hard to schedule. We found the perfect opportunity for a quick weekend getaway hosted by Leif. What we thought we were getting was a house big enough to host our group. What we got, was so much more! As soon as you walk into the space, you realize that the pictures you saw on the posting do not do justice to the real thing. You’re transported into another era where life slows down and you realize the simplest of things are the really important things: like family. My children especially enjoyed the opportunity to meet Leif’s animals and feed them rinds and banana peels. Peanut was the star of the show ( if you know, you know). Thank you, Leif, for a beautiful weekend that provided a much needed respite, but offered so much more than we were expecting. We can’t wait to come back and make this a family tradition though next time we will stay longer and be more prepared with our animal food supplies : )

We absolutely loved our stay at the Robin, the attention to detail was amazing, the home and property were so wonderful to hang out at! The access to the private pool and lake was as an absolute blast and with a number of little kids, we were so pleased by all there was to do at the house! The only thing to note is that the upstairs bedroom does not have a ceiling so you can hear all the activity in the rest of the house very clearly, not a problem in general but can be challenging if little kids or babies are trying to sleep and others are awake, so plan accordingly when packing or assigning bedrooms!

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful and restorative weekend away at Elizabeth’s cabin. We loved the decor, well stocked kitchen, and relaxing among the trees in the hot tub. Elizabeth was an excellent host and quick to respond. We also appreciated her local recommendations for wine tasting and hikes. Awesome gem in Camp Connell and would love to stay again.

Just wrapped up a stay at the Treehouse Chalet and honestly, didn’t want to leave. The place is tucked away just enough to feel like a true escape, but still close to town if you need anything. Waking up surrounded by trees, sipping coffee on the deck, and theres a hot tub if you choose to relax in it. everything we needed was easily located The cabin was clean, cozy, and well-stocked. You can tell the host actually cares. Hot tub was spotless, beds were comfy, and everything worked like it should. Bonus points for the peaceful vibe and solid privacy. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

We had a great stay here! The place is super peaceful and exactly what we needed to unwind. The house is cozy, clean, and full of natural light during the day, which made it feel really inviting. One of our favorite parts was the private hot tub. At night, we turned off the lights, laid back in the warm water, and looked up at a sky full of stars while listening to the quiet sounds of the forest. It was honestly magical!!!!! Olivia was kind and responsive - she checked in just enough to make sure we were good, but never overdid it. Check-out was smooth and easy. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking to relax and reconnect with nature!!!

What a lovely experience at this property! The working ranch with a vineyard, creek,chickens,alpaca, goats and even a few puppies was refreshing! It was so thoughtful of the host to give us fresh eggs and a bottle of homemade wine! The veranda style deck, hot tub and expansive views of the mountains was so relaxing. The house had plenty of rooms to have your own space yet areas where we could all gather with great views. I would definitely stay here again! Just lovely!

We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing stay over the Mother's Day weekend. The log cabin was so inviting and we liked discovering all the little decorative touches. The beds were very comfortable and the new showers were beautiful. The kids enjoyed the stream and we spent our time in the hot tub watching a fledgling robin learn to fly under the watchful eye of its mother. The kitchen was very clean and well-equipped. The crowning welcome was a loaf of fresh artisan bread and delicious baked treats on the kitchen counter from a local bakery. The only problem was that we had to go back to work and school and couldn't stay longer.

Todd & Ileen’s place truly lives up to the pictures and description just as beautiful, if not more! Tucked away in the woods, it offers a cozy, serene retreat that feels perfectly private once you enter into, it’s like your own little escape into nature. The cabin is warm and inviting, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights was the master bedroom with its skylight roof window—lying in bed and watching the full moon through it was pure magic. It’s those little moments that made the stay unforgettable.

Home away from home

The communication with Thoung was very easy, she is very helpful! The cabin is cozy with a small fireplace. Downstairs has a queen bed, a separate bathroom, and a bunk bed. There is a strong smell downstairs, so it’s not ideal if you’re sensitive. The upstairs master bedroom is spacious. Very quiet location with a nice deck for eating outside.

Shannon’s place was lovely. Great space indoors and out for 4-6 people and our huskies. Beautiful redwoods in the yard and visits by turkey and deer. Close driving distance to restaurants. Shannon’s place is very well equipped with anything you would want or need for dining, sleeping and relaxing. I always appreciate a property that feels like someone’s home rather than a hotel. Shannon’s place was exactly that. Shannon is a very responsive, communicative and helpful host! I should add that there are great vineyards and the lovely Sly Park nearby that we weren’t able to explore because we were in the area for a graduation in El Dorado . Would love to come back, stay st Shannon’s & explore more

We had the best time at the cabin with our 4 kids! Beautiful quiet neighborhood with lots of space to play outside. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. Our little kids loved the toys and games. Easy 30 minutes to skiing. We would definitely come back!

Sandy's cabin was great for a weekend away with my husband and pup! Close to lots of beautiful hiking spots and the cabin has everything you need.

The cabin was absolutely adorable. It has a super homey feeling, and super comfy. The stove is definitely the highlight of this place! The washer and dryer were super helpful! Cozy beds and towels as well.

Easy check-in, very comfortable and cosy stay, Kallie’s Airbnb has everything you need! Kallie was also very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Great cabin to stay in for the weekend. We were attending a wedding in the area and it was very convenient and met our needs.

Cedric and Jun’s place exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our weekend stay with family. The upstairs living space was inviting and comfortable and the kitchen was open and bright and had everything we needed. Bathrooms were modern, light and super clean and bedrooms were very cozy. We loved that two of the bedrooms were downstairs and separate from the living space and very quiet. Another bonus was the beautiful deck and gathering space just outside of the kitchen. Overall we really appreciated the quiet surroundings, ample parking, and beautiful and very clean home. We will definitely come back and stay again and recommend to friends visiting the area!

We were pleasantly surprised to find the cabin just as in the photos with all the amenities that were described. Everything worked; the TVs had many channels to choose from, board games, complimentary smore's stuff, Keurig coffee, and all the cooking necessities were there including spices, oils and some food. All the propane tanks for the outdoor fire and BBQ were full, the showers were clean, the bathrooms were spotless and the appliances were all new or near new. It was like stepping into a cozy dream cabin and we felt so cared for and looked after. We can tell that Christine truly cares about her visitors considering the detail and care she puts into making sure we were comfortable. She provided a local attractions list that was extremely helpful in locating fun things to do nearby and she even had a free entrance/parking pass for Jenkinson Lake!!! All in all a wonderful and memorable experience. We will be planning a winter escape to her cabin soon.

I absolutely loved the serene quiet location. Such a great place. Very friendly host and they have done a great job with the place. Excellent amenities and a special welcome bread that is so sweet to arrive to!

A Perfect Stay! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the seamless check-in process and Maria’s warm hospitality. The space was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal—peaceful yet conveniently close to local attractions like Jenkins lake. I especially appreciated the private location of the house, its views, and all the games there. Communication with Maria was prompt and helpful throughout my stay. She went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. I can’t wait to return!

Absolute perfection! A quaint country cottage on shared acreage but you are welcome to enjoy/use the main house and grounds. Quiet, charming, nicely kept up with a very much appreciated gift basket, morning coffee and mini fridge in room. Loved the fire stove to keep the night chill out and add a romantic ambience. Will definitely return if ever in need of a stay in the area - can't recommend enough!

Valerie's place was wonderful. It's in a beautiful and peaceful location. Valerie provided alot of helpful details about the home, the location and things to do. It was so helpful. She checked in with us, the day after we checked in, just to make sure we were doing well. The home is stocked with everything you might need, even things you didn't know you would need. Our trip was a mother/son trip to celebrate my son's high school graduation. Valerie even left a bouquet of balloons for my son to congratulate him on his graduation. Such a thoughtful gesture. We will definitely stay at Valerie's again. Julie Q, Martinez CA

I loved my stay at Ariyele's cabin. It was clean, comfortable and peaceful. It had great wifi and I was able to work remotely as well! Ariyele was a great host and communicated proactively. I would stay here again!

Perfect place if you're looking to get away and enjoy some peace and quiet. Stunning views all over and a beautiful large deck to enjoy it all. Loved cozying up around the fire at night too.
