Family-friendly holiday rentals in Forestville

We had a wonderful stay with our pups! They had plenty of room to run around the fenced in yard. We walked to the nice beach along the river. The hot tub was the perfect place to unwind after a day at the river. The beds were super comfy and the shower was hot. We highly recommend Hilda’s beautiful home and would love to stay again!!!

The view looking out into the woods and river from the living room is absolutely breathtaking. We stayed in late April and it was a bit rainy so it wasn’t feasible to enjoy the river, but the location more than made up for it. The proximity to Armstrong Redwoods, Jenner, and several charming nearby towns made for a perfect mix of hiking, beach walks, and exploring local spots.

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! The hosts, Lynn and John, were friendly and welcoming. We brought our baby and they left out a booster seat, child plates/bowls, toys, and made up the crib for him! We were able to do a barrel tasting, which was fantastic! We loved the hot tub and the garden. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the corn hole and fire pit! Will have to come back!

Patricia's beautiful beach house exceeded our expectations and more! The panoramic ocean views and wrap around deck made us feel like we were floating on the ocean. The home was really well equipped with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the hot tub and playing some games that were available for us to use. We could easily walk to Dillon Beach from the house to enjoy the sunshine. The home was very clean and cozy and Patricia was very kind and responsive. Highly recommend for a family beach vacation.

Loved every moment of our stay here! It was myself, my partner, our dog and 2 kids, the outside bath was magical and the well appointed nature of every aspect of the stay totally exceeded our expectations. Would definitely stay here again!

In a word - delightful! We very much enjoyed the back deck and patio with morning and afternoon sun, a relaxing yard with views of the river, osprey, swallows and even deer. The kitchen was very well equipped with high quality appliances/utensils/cookware/dishware etc for easy mealmaking. Playing records from Adam's collection was memorable & reminiscent. The beds were very comfortable - especially nice with french doors looking out to the back yard and riverscape. The location is easy distance from Monte Rio, Jenner and Guerneville, paddleboarding, beaching, hiking nearby plus nice to walk our dog Lexie in the extended neighborhood. Adam was a great host. We highly recommend Adam's delightful cottage retreat, and look forward to future stays!

Booked this as a quiet get away, and it exceeded expectations. Quiet, right on the water and very relaxing. Aaron was proactive, checked in, and was very helpful with local recommendations. Would definitely recommend.

We can’t say enough good things about this home and surrounding land. Tucked up high in the Santa Rosa foothills you feel miles away from it all, just what we were looking for. With all the stone work and views down into the valley, it was reminiscent of a hill town in Tuscany. Beautiful home, well designed to inspire relaxation… loved the vinyl records. Kitchen had everything we needed. Host’s were fantastic with communication when we had questions. Perfect.

This place and the view were as described. The view was absolutely beautiful to enjoy during the day and at night. It was just 2 of us and a toddler for one night, but it would be a great value for a larger group for a longer stay! The location was also fantastic.

We had a wonderful stay at David's TreeHouse Cabin! The redwoods surrounding it set the perfect backdrop for a morning on the front deck or a night on the back patio stargazing. The floor-to-ceiling windows and skylight really make you feel up in the trees, and we really loved cozying up by the wood fireplace in the evenings. Bathroom is small but gets the job done. Relaxing and a perfect retreat!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Chad's place. It exceeded our expectations! Chad is very responsive and welcoming. The house is very comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. The hot tub was perfect - so relaxing! The view - beautiful! We brought our dogs with us on this trip, and they loved it too! The place is very dog friendly. The yard is fully enclosed so they could explore without us having to worry. Such a cool house with plenty to do, and very peaceful. The surrounding area is so much fun to explore too. There's a market close by, and the river is super close! I just can't say enough about how much we enjoyed staying here. We cannot wait to book another trip to Chad's place!

My family really enjoyed the uniqueness of the home. Driving into the neighborhood during the summer night was a great experience. Host communicated well and the place itself had everything my family needed. The neighborhood is basically built into the hillside but there was adequate parking for 4 cars.

This place is a real gem. It was so quiet, very clean and very comfortable with absolutely everything that we needed. The house managers went above and beyond to help us and were very friendly and available. We felt right at home. The area is also stunning, very close to great hikes, beautiful beaches, and the town of occidental has some great restaurants, as well as Bodega and Sebastopol which are close by.

We stayed at Erin's wine country cottage for a few days as our "home base" while in town for the Food & Wine Event. Their studio unit cottage was cozy, and welcoming. We ate out and didn't use kitchenette beyond making coffee, but I noticed that it looked well stocked! The bed was comfy, which made for good sleep at night. The cottage location is great as it's close to the freeway yet still in a quiet, rural setting next to a vineyard, and just about a mile or so from downtown (we walked to town every day). Erin (& Tom) are both exceptional hosts. They're friendly, helpful, and have great recommendations for restaurants & wineries. Can't forget Hurley the lab... he's super friendly too!

Mark was a great host and we would love to visit again! With the hand delivered bakery treats, beautiful scenery, and awesome location this stay is wonderful and highly recommended for a visit!

Price was great even though there was a festival driving prices. The house is beautiful with loads of extra details. We love that. Allen kept us up to date on some WiFi repairsthat were done quickly and did not affect our stay at all. I’d definitely stay here again.

Nice unit. We did have some plumbing issues with the toilet but the front desk was able to assist. The AC unit also kept reseting itself to 75°. The air circulation is weird so it caused the unit to be extremely hot at night. Otherwise, the property was nice. Will definitely reserve again.

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!

If you're looking for a quiet place to unwind and relax, we HIGHLY recommend Barrel Lounge. Whether you want to chill in the hot tub, lay in the pool, or lounge on the deck while grillin' out, this place has it all. Beyond the amenities, the hosts, Kathy and Jim are incredible. They were very accommodating, providing everything we could have needed. They are two of the most kind-hearted people. Every interaction with them was a delight. Top notch experience: 1000/100 as our son would say. Many thanks to Kathy and Jim for making our honeymoon one that we'll never forget.

Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

We came a second time to Fred’s river home oasis. Our kids love the grounds and the stream is so peaceful. Pool is delightfully warm and with a Forest view. Come here for a nature escape. We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy House! The pool was large and fantastic, perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. The house was spotless, and the neighborhood felt quiet and safe. Both the garden and front yard were lovely, and the pool area was especially private thanks to the high fence. Brook was incredibly friendly, always checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay, and promptly answered all our questions. She was very helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommend!

I loved this place. It was beautifully decorated and had amazing views. The pool was an added benefit on hot days! It’s somewhat small for a group because it only has one bedroom but still worth the experience.

Great find in Sonoma! Well located with easy walks but in a peaceful neighborhood. Plenty of space for our four women on a girls’ trip!
