Family-friendly holiday rentals in Northern California

This property is amazing in every way. There’s a view from the ocean from almost every room, beautiful tile work and gorgeous, well appointed bathrooms. A sauna and extra hot hot tub. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The house itself is beautiful with private spaces, but also a large living room where everyone can gather around a beautiful tiled potbelly fireplace. It’s a short walk to the beach through a charming neighborhood. The host Rebekah was very communicative and generous, allowed us flexible, check-in and check out. I will 100% be staying here again.

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.

Really enjoyed the location and the enclosed patio so we could sit outside and enjoy the ocean view keeping out of the wind. Lots of things to do in the area if you like hiking and exploring.

This place was beyond what we hoped for — it had absolutely everything we could’ve wished for and more. Honestly, there was so much to enjoy that we didn’t even get to experience it all in one trip. Jacuzzi under the stars, the beautiful yard, the BBQ setup — every detail felt thought out and welcoming. The house itself was cozy, spacious, and just had that special vibe that makes you instantly feel relaxed. Our entire stay was super smooth, zero issues, and everything worked exactly as expected. We made amazing memories here and already know this is the place we’ll be coming back to next time. Highly, highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed here for our 5 year anniversary and I couldn't have found a better spot to get away to. It was such a cozy and peaceful location, and Aaron's home had everything we could ever need during our stay. The views were incredible, and the weather was fantastic. Aaron provided an extremely detailed guide to the area that helped us get a feel for where to go and what to do, and we hope to come back someday and stay again to experience more of the beauty of the surrounding area!

Our stay was lovely! The beds and linens were comfortable and the rooms were quiet. The entire home was well stocked and it felt like a second personal home in terms of the quality of items - sharp knives, well stocked pantry for cooking basics, foil, etc. We brought two dogs and it was a paradise for them. The outdoor area is truly magical. The fire pit is great, the downstairs dog shower is handy, and the landscaping is sublime.

This coastal home was truly magical—perched right by the ocean with stunning views of the sunset and night sky. The house itself is beautifully designed, with so much love and care evident in every detail. It felt warm, peaceful, and thoughtfully put together. Ted was a fantastic host—very responsive and proactive, even informing us about a PG&E power outage that we didn’t even feel thanks to the battery backup. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a serene and unforgettable stay.

We had a fantastic stay. The house was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated. The ocean view is breathtaking, and the setting is peaceful and quiet—perfect for relaxing. Everything was well maintained, and it’s just a short drive to Mendocino. Highly recommended!

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.

Debbie and Aaron are wonderful hosts. I have only positive experiences with them both. The venue is wonderful and welcoming, and they are prompt in their responses to any issues that arise. It is always a peaceful and pleasant experience when we visit the Zendo. We’ll be back.

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.

We had such a lovely time at Paulette’s. Her house was incredibly clean and so stylish. We wanted a private, quiet and serene getaway and this place was perfect! The views from the back decks are outstanding and pics don’t do it justice! Paulette was super communicative and a wonderful host!

The cottage had a beautiful view of the Bay. You could walk to the beach in about 10 minutes but you did need to cross the highway. The nearby beach was beautiful. The place was clean and very well supplied. It was quiet and peaceful. The neighborhood was a bit rough and ready but it wasn't a problem.

This place is on another level of beauty and privacy. Showed up. Gate was open. The ac was already on. Place was spotless. Ice maker full with ice (huge win!!) Sit on the deck and just take in the best view around. I gotta to hang for a few min at club red. The kayak around the lake was amazing. This is a top notch compound. Incredible the paradise they have built in the middle of nowhere!! Only negative was I had to leave. Thanks Joyce and tony for your hospitality. I will be back!!!

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.

Doug was super responsive and had clear instructions for the whole house. The house itself was situated at the best spot within boulders. No view of the Sierras, but the surrounding rocks were beautiful. Private and quiet. The house and kitchen had more than the basics. Cooked many family meals easily. Would definitely stay again.

My significant other and I had such a great stay! Fawzia was an incredibly warm and welcoming host — super easy to communicate with. Her husband was also very kind, and their sweet dog made me feel right at home. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I also loved seeing all of their beautiful birds on the property — such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend booking with Fawzia!

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

Jenny is an amazing, sweet and care host! From almost all this 10 years of airb&b she is my favorite. From the date I completed my reservation to the check out was a cordial communication. 100% recommend!!

This Airbnb was absolutely fantastic! We truly enjoyed our stay and found everything to be perfect. The location was great, and the space was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wonderful experience!

This was the perfect getaway that I needed and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for privacy and a safe, quiet place. The bed was super comfortable and the recliners were so appreciated because of some health issues I was having.

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.

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

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.
