Family-friendly holiday rentals in Central California

This is my second time staying here and it’s always great!! The place is amazing and Bradley is an amazing host! Will be returning soon one day!

We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Maurine and the hosts of this AirBNB! This house is truly a gem and exceeded our expectations! We loved everything about this property- from the comfortable, homey setting to the beautiful landscaping and outdoor spaces. Directions and communication were clear and guest friendly. On behalf of the 5 of us, on our girls' getaway, we thank you all wholeheartedly and are already planning on returning next April! Thank you for sharing this truly special home with us. It was a perfect 5 star get-away from beginning to end!

Yeshi's home is a museum of colorful artwork from her travels around the world. Wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the ocean waves.

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

Such a lovely place. Jennifer was great, good place to crash for the night. It has all the essentials and her dogs were also very cute. Good mini space and wonderful backyard too with lots of sitting areas. She was so flexible with us and was good at communicating. Would recommend if you are looking for an affordable option close to Lake Tahoe!

We stayed here to avoid a long commute to the children’s hospital. It was just 10 minutes away, and the area was peaceful and beautiful. The property was excellent for my children (6 & 8) and they took full advantage of the pool, swingset, and toys in the yard. Additionally, the casita was neat and had everything we needed. The cold AC was welcome on a hot day. Chuck was clear, responsive, and made us feel right at home. Should we have additional visits, we will definitely be returning!

We had a great time on our Mammoth trip and Shawn’s place was the perfect home base.

We had an amazing time! This home is great for kids. Lots of toys, books, and amenities suited for families. Short walk to the beach. We will definitely be back!

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.

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!

Very thankful for this quaint experience! The kids loved the toys and the very kind neighbor helped make sure we had chargers for all the electric toys.

Really beautiful land and cabin. A very special place. We walked for a few hours everyday around the land with our pup and spent afternoons swimming in the lake (20 min drive). The cabin is super well equipped for cooking, even for a birthday cake! We saw a bunch of wildlife, which was wonderful. Kept our pup on the leash when exploring since he'd probably get himself into trouble. Would absolutely recommend!

Lilly and Jon are great hosts. Their ranch is absolutely stunning and something very special to experience. The nearby rolling hills and animals that you can interact with are priceless on their own. The amount of space you get is well worth the money. There is a bedroom with a king bed, entirely separate living room that has a sofa sleeper, coffee bar, and large bathroom. There is also an outdoor kitchen area that has more than you need for a short stay. I used to clean hotels and have a high standard of what clean looks like and I can honestly say I’ve never stayed somewhere that felt so clean which I was not expecting for a ranch stay. Looking forward to finding time to go back for another stay!

Overall great experience. Appreciated all of the rooms were on the same level so our older family members didn't have any trouble getting around. Shawnda and Marc are gracious hosts and made our stay very enjoyable. Looking forward to our next visit!

Sue was great and proactive in her communication which made our stay very easy. We were able to find the place easy thanks to her instructions and she showed flexibility throughout as well.

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!!!

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

If you’re looking for a nice & relaxing place to get away from your everyday life this is the place you want to be!

This is such a special place. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! It’s a perfect central location - close to SLO, Paso Robles, Los Olivos, etc. We loved hearing the chickens in the morning, walking through the garden and enjoying the hot tub/pool amenities. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place for you!!

Wow! What a great place! The indoor pool was the best. It was so hot outside so being able to swim without sun and UV exposure was absolutely amazing. I have already recommended this place to friends for future adventures. ❤️

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.

beautiful backyard with hot tub. very quiet area. highly recommended.

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!

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb near Yosemite! The place was peaceful, spotless, and had all the amenities we needed. The host was super responsive and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring the park. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Yosemite!
