Cottage holiday rentals in California

David's home in the Guerneville redwoods was a magical place for a solo retreat. The beauty and attention to detail was wonderful - from the art to the amenities to the guidebook! David was very responsive and kind in his communications. Would stay again.

Loved staying here! Its was small and cozy and had beautiful views. Easy instructions for check in and check out!

Natasha & Becca were incredible hosts! Their home was so well set up for us - supplies, instructions, local recommendations… I could go on! Our pup, the kids & the adults (my husband & I) had a lovely evening. Exactly what we needed for a staycation!

Place and location were awesome. Highly recommended. Well done!

Mama K's place was absolutely stunning, quiet and serene. The pictures don't do it justice, it's so much more beautiful in person. Neighborhood is quiet, and there is a ton of wildlife. We loved seeing deer, bald eagles, quail, fox, and more every morning! The hot tub was a beautiful experience at night, as you can see all the stars. The property itself is so thoughtfully made. All the decor is beautiful, her garden makes the entire place smell amazing and she has a ton of amenities for the river including paddle boards, canoes and kayaks. The first morning we took the canoe out, we saw a bald eagle taking a bath right in the river! This also happens to be one of the cleanest airbnbs we've stayed in, and that's with it being pet friendly. Our labrador Dodge loved the entire property, and swimming every chance he got. Don't forget to visit Sophie's Wine Cellar in town! We will be back!

Beautiful property! It was breathtaking to sit on the lawn and just hang out. So welcoming and had everything you could need

We had a wonderful and comfortable stay at Griffin's in a location so close to Yosemite yet private and serene without any tourist vibe. It was the best place to unwind together each evening and start the day (with coffee on the deck) each morning. Griffin's house is spacious, inviting, and fully equipped. we cooked meals for four each night. The kitchen has everything you need. the bedrooms are huge with plenty of storage, comfortable beds and linens, and plenty of towels. we were grateful to have a full size w-d for laundry and were pleasantly surprised by the. hot tub (a treat!) and ping pong table (evening fun!). Don't miss out on this perfect opportunity to stay in the mountains, close to a grocery store, with a real feeling of home Griffin had everything covered so all we had to do was unpack and unwind!

What a lovely, peaceful retreat! Friendly dogs and livestock, beautiful plants and trees filled with singing birds and a beautifully maintained ranch for your enjoyment. On top of that, a wonderful house and host who makes sure all of your needs are taken care of. I highly recommend this place!

It was a very cozy stay, nestled in a serene area right near the ocean. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the individual pieces of consideration, including the lovely music that played as we entered the cottage. It really set the tone for such a nice and peaceful stay.

I highly recommend this place, it’s perfect for getting away from the city where you can relax and enjoy the tranquility of nature. I love that is pet friendly, Romeo my chihuahua loved the back and front yard he was obsessed being outside most of the time. Kimberly is an amazing host and keeps her place very clean to me that is a plus.

The rental.was exactly what we were looking for. It felt like home and was close enough to everything we wanted to see. Would definitely stay here again! (Also, loved the outdoor fire pit and view)

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon! It was our first stop in California and it was absolutely worth it! The accommodations were beautiful, the kitchen made it easy for us to eat meals together at home, and furniture was clean and very comfortable! We would definitely recommend staying here!

My spouse and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend with our two dogs. It is such a peaceful, relaxing spot and our dogs really enjoyed being able to explore the yard (which was entirely fenced). We had nice weather and used the grill for dinner both nights which was great. The cows and pigs were around as well and we fed them treats that were provided - so fun! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay with beautiful surroundings.

The unit was clean, cozy, and right in the heart of incredible nature! The creek is incredible for bird and animal watching, and Colin is a communicative and thorough host. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Wow. This place is magic. Perfect for a quick solo getaway and I’m already planning my next trip back with my partner. There is so much to do and enjoy. The majestic oak tree out back, the outdoor soaking tub, the outdoor daybed, and the breakfast Maggie made for me were highlights. I felt totally immersed in the wild nature of Topanga. This was truly a 10/10 experience. Only note is that there are mosquitos right now, so plan accordingly :)

Richard was very friendly, welcomed me and gave me a tour of the space, as he shared the history of the property. Rustic, safe and quiet, the Getaway afforded me two pleasant night’s sleep.

Had a wonderful stay at the muddy duck cottage. The place was very well equipped and cozy. The cottage was very clean

Sherie has a beautiful property and peaceful environment! She was super kind and offered a lot of recommendations! This was perfect for a quiet getaway.

Zephyr and James were SO kind and lovely. Their place was a beautiful haven. Clean, quaint, charming, and the best getaway for me and my daughter. Nestled in the hillside, it was perfect for a quiet weekend to refresh in central Cal. Everything about it felt so warm and inviting, like a family cottage. The kitchen was well equipped to make food when we didn’t feel like going out for a meal. All around a great find. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you James + Zephyr. :)

It was our third time staying at Heidi’s cottage and we can’t wait for the fourth time! The cottage is gorgeous and clean, with a rustic feel. The location is perfect for a getaway, you can hear the waves crashing nearby and even seals barking! I appreciate the little touches that the cottage includes to complete a stay, including coffee beans, bath salts, and local travel guides. Book a stay here! You won’t regret it!

This place was awesome! I was there for one night and it was perfect. Very close to the airport - also very close to some shopping centers and lots of trails to walk/run on. The place was extremely clean!

We enjoyed staying at this wonderful guest house on a beautiful property. During our long drive to the area, our hosts let us know that the place was ready and we could check in early. That was so appreciated! Lots of local recommendations and tips for Yosemite were provided. So helpful! The guest house had everything we needed and more. Very easy to make ourselves at home, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. This was one of our best Airbnb stays. Highly recommend!

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!

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming cottage in Sonoma. Tucked away in a quiet corner of wine country, this 1-bedroom retreat offered everything we needed for a peaceful, romantic getaway. The vineyard views from the front porch were absolutely stunning. Inside, the cottage was beautifully maintained, with thoughtful touches throughout and a cozy, comfortable vibe. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of wine tasting. And speaking of wine—this place is close to some of the best vineyards in the area and just a short 10-minute drive to Sonoma Square for restaurants, shops, and more tasting rooms. Highly recommend for couples or solo travelers looking for a peaceful escape with easy access to everything Sonoma has to offer. We’ll definitely be back!
