Holiday rentals with a kayak in California

The host was very accommodating and responsive. The rental was amazing. Love the open concept overlooking the river and trees. The kitchen was huge and had all the cookware and accessories we needed. Loved the modern bathroom and beautiful shower. Overall, we loved the rental, and would love to come back and stay again.

The River View House was wonderful! Very quiet and peaceful - great for the 7 guests we brought. The river was fun for a quick dip once in a while. The home was clean and spacious. Plenty of linens, towels, and kitchen dishes for us. Nancy was super responsive and helpful. We are planning to come back to the same rental again! We didn’t add on the studio, but likely will next time if we have more guests or more than 2 couples.

Place was amazing the wife and kids did not want to leave…had fun fishing from the docks out back…nice and peaceful place💜

Such a beautiful spot ! The view and the deck are just breathtaking… so much marine life and lovely birds swooping by all day. The deck was not as well cleaned as the house , but we didnt care one bit ! Swept away cobwebs and had a great stay. Thanks so much, Matthew. All the best, Alma

We had such an amazing time. So many activities to do at Kathleen’s. Our kids love the pond, swimming pool, fishing, pickleball, and appreciate all the outdoors amenities. Definitely a gem to visit for families. The home is a little dated. But all the outdoor activities make up for it.

Drove in from Idaho for a college graduation at Humbolt. We needed a place for 3 couples. This place worked out perfectly. Eric and Heather were super nice and the communication was great. The place was so nice, kids loves all the space and playing outside with all of the acreage. Would definitely stay here again!

Evan's place provides the best views of the ocean and is located close to multiple beach waves points. The electric bikes made for great fun, as we rode all over town. It was a great place, for a great price. A true million dollar view, especially from the decks. Highly recommend to people of all ages.

We came for Father's Day because my husband loves to fish. There were 5 adults and my 8 year old granddaughter. The place was immaculate! There was something much to do we didn't know where to start. We enjoyed the video games, the board games, ping pong, basketball and pool!! There were toys for my granddaughter to play with as well! She didn't touch her iPad the entire trip. And the lake was awesome!! Caught crappie and catfish, a huge fish pounder. Everything was well labeled, explained and cozy. We did not leave the house for anything except food to cook! There was everything you needed and more in the house!! The host was amazing! 🤩 can't wait to return just to play more games at the arcade!

We had such a great time!! The amenities were so amazing! Paddle boats, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, fishing poles were so amazing! We did not leave except to go to the bait and tackle store! It was amazing! They were so kind and attentive! we had a wonderful time

We’re very familiar with the surrounding area and this home is classic to the Russian River vibe. It’s easy to access Jenner Highland preserve, Armstrong woods and river activities. We found the listing to be accurate and very clean. We did not access the small secondary building but appreciated the hot tub. We also were glad we left our dog at home as there is no grass on the property and several stairs to navigate. It would certainly work for some dogs, but not ours was quite large. We did appreciate David’s immediate response to our request to edit our reservation when we decided not to bring our dog; excellent communication!

Beautiful place with an astonishing view. Kathy is an amazing host, it was a pleasure to stay there. It really felt like home. It was super clean and calm. The house is extremely good equipped. We would stay another time here.

We loved the property and its proximity to the water and two large beaches. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated and has the furnishings and supplies just like it would if someone actually lived there rather than the typical Airbnb “shell” that only has the bare necessities (or less). We did have an unfortunate complication that occurred when we arrived. Things happen, but what matters more than anything is how a host handles an unexpected event. Jay was kind, understanding, and empathetic and did everything needed to make things right. We will absolutely be back.

I had a great stay at my little cottage in Mount Shasta. The host was always available to help out and parking in a spot off the alley in the back made it very convenient. There was a beautiful lawn and garden area a great place for my dog to enjoy as well as me.

Christina’s home along the river was an absolute dream — peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by nature. We loved waking up surrounded by redwoods and spending slow mornings by the water, completely relaxed. Christina was a warm, thoughtful host, and we’re already looking forward to returning.

Small hiccup getting into the house and Amber was super quick to help! The place was stunning! So beautiful and so well appointed. The home is 10/10!!

We just completed a lovely stay at Emily's place -- the home is on a very quiet road, spacious, well-appointed, and the decor is a great match for the environment. One bedroom with adjoining bathroom is on the ground floor and the other is on the second floor, making it perfect for two couples -- plus there's a bonus bunkbed in the front room for kids. The outdoor space, surrounded by redwoods, has several seating areas with a nice hot tub (seats 4). The neighbors were all very welcoming and nice, we felt right at home in the area. We've been coming up to Russian River for about 20 years and had never heard of this small community, it was wonderfully off the beaten path yet close to everything! There is also secluded and well-maintained neighborhood beach which was great for sunbathing / kayak launching. Emily had alerted us that map apps weren't reliable for the area and sent a pinned location -- definitely use it and pre-load an area map, especially if you'll be arriving in the dark.

Amazing place, amazing location, comfortable accommodations. It was a pleasure to stay here.

Great place to stay. Love the record collection!! Wait and the hot tub is amazing also.

Natalie was an amazing host! Before I ever got there she sent the most welcoming message! The home was beautiful and exactly like the pictures! They gave great recommendations for paddle boarding / kayaking at the lake which we did! It was such a beautiful experience! We will one hundred percent be back and recommend this place to anyone who wants to get out of the city and visit big bear!!

We loved staying at this cabin as it was very peaceful, comfortable and had everything we needed for our weekend away. Had a great fire in the fireplace, enjoyed doing a puzzle, had great meals together and barbecued on the back deck while it rained. The beds were super comfortable! Awesome time, awesome place! We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you again Tiffany for sharing your place with us!! Dave, Janet & Chris

We really liked this place. Rural, very scenic. The cabin is very well constructed and well maintained. Nice step-in shower. Good kitchen. Bring food. There aren’t many dining choices nearby. The trading post at Dutch Flat is surprisingly well stocked, which is a good thing because the mini-mart/gas station at the Dutch Flat off ramp is the only other place around to get provisions.

What an absolute perfect way for us to stay in shaver! The listing matched the pictures and description. The hosts responded so kindly and quick. It was an a quick and easy getaway for our family. Everything was clean and neat. The kitchen was well stocked for what we needed. The pool and spa were very well kept and in a short beautiful walk away. I’m glad we came across this listing. I recommend this A+ location and host!

This wonderful little cabin was a great place to spend a getaway weekend with my son. The peaceful, wooded surroundings provided the relaxing backdrop I was looking for and my son was delighted with the wood burning stove. He discovered that the pine cones that were suggested as fire starters did a great job and he had a great time replenishing their supply from the woods around the cabin.

By far my favorite air bnb I have stayed at. Great location and community and the perfect sized home for my family with tons of things to do.
