Farmstay holiday rentals in California

Absolutely incredible stay! I came solo and it was everything I needed to unwind—peaceful, private, and full of charm. The highlight? Showering outdoors with nothing but open sky and the view of cattle grazing nearby. Next level relaxation. It felt surreal and grounding at the same time. The whole setup was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Morning coffee with the breeze, stargazing at night—it was pure magic. If you’re looking to reset and reconnect with nature, you have to visit this place. It’s an unforgettable escape.

Had a peaceful stay! Enjoyed the ease of communication and the gorgeous surroundings.

We had a great stay and Leafe was super helpful with local recommendations! The house was very peaceful and private. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Joshua Tree!

We loved our two nights at Amy’s place with our two pups! I wish we would have planned to stay longer, there was a lot more to explore in the area! It was SO clean. We usually feel like we need to re-clean just to feel ok in Airbnb’s but Amy’s place felt like we were staying at a friend’s place that we trusted. The homemade delivered muffins were a treat and she gave us some awesome local recommendations. The bed was comfortable and it was super quiet!

Alison's cabin is a dream come true! So cozy and gorgeous! Great for Lassen Volcanic NP access and a peaceful getaway. We got to enjoy coffee on the porch during a rain storm, which was magical. The cabin is well equipped with everything you need to feel at home. Tons of games too! Alison was very attentive and super sweet when communicating. 10/10 we would stay again!!

Mott's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay and surrounded by breathtaking beauty. Natalie was an extremely responsive host. We hope to return someday. We loved paddling up the Fall River right behind the cottage to Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, exploring Lava Beds National Monument, and hiking the crest of the Warner Mountains - all within day trips of Mott's Cottage.

I stayed here with my bridesmaids the night before my wedding and it was exactly the peaceful experience I needed in such a hectic week! We spent so much time lounging around chatting, enjoying the view & the outdoors. Sooooo so so calm and quiet.

This place has a quiet kind of magic. Nestled deep in the canyon, it felt like we had stumbled onto a little secret. Peaceful, beautifully lived-in, and full of soul. Every corner of the cottage felt intentional and warm, like staying in the home of a friend with impeccable taste. We left feeling rested and recharged. It was the perfect impromptu city escape.

We had the pleasure of staying at Gina and Greg’s farm this past weekend. We were looking for something private, cozy, and with animals. And that is exactly what we got with this beautiful trailer! It is about 7 to 10 minutes from the downtown area and private enough to feel like we were in a different world. Gina and Greg were very friendly, nice and made my partner and I feel very welcomed. I appreciate the love they have for their community, their animals, land, and guests that they host. The farm is a little slice of heaven that we will certainly be back to visit many times!!!

My husband, son and I needed a place to stay in Ramona while attending a wedding nearby. This was by far the best place I found and I was so hapy it was available. It's a huge ranch with lots of farm animals. We loved it. The house was clean and well appointed; beds were comfortable, and the porch for morning coffee was the best. This is only a 22-minute drive to Julian, and 5-6 miles from the town of Ramona. A++ -- 10 out of 10.

We just absolutely loved this Airbnb. We will definitely book here next time we are in town. The Longhorn on the property added a fun experience. It is just 9 minutes from downtown and 7 minutes from DAOU Vineyards which is a really nice venue.

Fun barn loft on a nice working apple orchard/farm. There are goats, dogs, ducks and a sweet potbellied pig as a bonus at this stay. There loft was a nice quiet mountain stay. Be prepared as stated in the description to walk up and down stairs with your stuff. This would not be ideal for anyone with physical limitations. We stayed here to visit Yosemite but be aware it is still quite a drive (over 1 hour) to either park entrance. It is not super close to any town either so come prepared with what you need.

Jeffrey’s place was a lovely getaway! It was nice being outside of town, very quiet and peaceful and the view is amazing. The bed was super comfortable. We loved that the yard was fenced in so our dog could be outside safely. We really enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely beautiful and serene place! Exactly as described, with the sounds of nature and beautiful stars at night. The earth berm design made it so we didn't hear anything from the other lodgers, even though they were right next door. A wonderful place to take our pups, too! The host let us run our pups off leash on the lower acreage of the property, and they loved the meadows. We stayed in the Pippin room (blue), and while perfect for us, people with more reactive dogs might want the Frodo (green) or Sam (yellow) rooms at the end of the row. We loved bringing our small TV and DVD player, and having a Tolkien Movie Marathon while we indulged in the host provided second breakfasts and the add-on Shire-cuterie board. The nights we stayed provided a much needed mental reset and reconnect. Highly recommend visiting, and doubly recommend doing it in late spring if possible while the fields are still green and the weather is mild. We visited the first part of May, and it was perfect!

I had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, which made everything super easy from check-in to check-out. The location was perfect—quiet, safe, and close to everything I needed. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks again for a great experience!

Sonja was a fantastic house and the house was exactly as described. We had a great time. It was relaxing and super convenient to all the local attractions. We'd stay again on our next trip.

This was the second time my family and I stayed here. We love the pool, the spacious patio, and secluded location. We had a little issue but Nikki and the property manager Karen did everything in their power to resolve and fix things and they did. Karen was very responsive and helpful. Always a great place to stay.

Beautiful location nestled within a vineyard. Cabin was spotless and spacious. Back patio was peaceful with lush views of a rambling creek and trees. Highly recommend! Also recommend BBQ 152 in Gilroy just 5 miles away.

5 star experience! Our stay at Mojave Ghost was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Check-in was seamless, and the host, Lisa was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout my stay. The location was ideal. It was close to everything but still quiet and peaceful. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Joshua Tree and away from everything. I will definitely be coming back!

A delightful setting out in the country. It's part of a working farm, and plenty of farm life is available: the ducks and geese are nearby, an herb garden, cattle down the way, with trees of varying sizes around the property. Sara is a wonderful host: respectful of our privacy but also very open to showing us her farm, which she is justifiably proud of. The space is a well thought out studio style space with a comfortable bed and easy to use kitchen. The internet works very well, too. We'd come back if our plans took us through this part of California again.

What a wonderful place to spend some time in peace and relaxation . I plan on heading back again.

Sunset View was everything we hoped for and more. Hands down, the best sunset we’ve ever seen — we ended every night just staring out the window in awe!! The place had everything we needed, and the location was perfect: close enough to get to things easily, but far enough to feel peaceful and private. We even had deer walk right up to our window and cows just over the hill. It honestly felt like a dream! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We’ll be back!!!

A magical stay at Adele and Carlo’s home. A peaceful, relaxing and serene place, nestled in the mountains where light filtered through the large windows. What a magnificent scenery! This family of four adults comfortably enjoyed the decor and layout, a very well stocked kitchen, grill, cinema room, music, decks, and adjacent trails. Everything was very well explained in the handbook. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you Adele and Carlo!

Thanks for hosting us, it was everyth8ng we needed!
