Holiday rentals with a kayak in San Francisco Bay Area

Absolutely loved the house. Plenty of space for everyone! Would definitely recommend!! Gorgeous views and wonderful hosts❤️

Beautiful property inside and out, looks exactly like the pictures! The hosts are very responsive and will answer your messages within a few minutes. Pool and kitchen are AMAZING! Majority of our time was spent in/around the pool and cooking in the kitchen. The pool is very clean and well kept and it was warm throughout our entire stay. As someone who travels with cooking equipment whenever I know I’ll be cooking, I can also confirm that their kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals (good quality too)! Note that there are no curtains in any room in the house. During the day, the views and natural light are beautiful! But in full transparency, it was pitch black at night and crept us out a little because we’re from the city, so we ended up buying thumbtacks and putting towels over the windows. To be clear, this was our personal experience, but it shouldn’t deter you from checking this place out. We had a great stay and would absolutely book again!

We had amazing weekend in the house! The view from the deck is unbeatable and the location is perfect for swimming and so close to town! We would love to stay again!

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

A terrific spot on the river! Would highly recommend. And would go back!

lake was beautiful and the house iss spotless .everything was beautiful. Thank you for letting us stay.

Kim's place perfectly fit are needs! Lots of room to spread out., we hosted a small group of family to organize for a celebration of life from the mother. Everything was very serein and peaceful. Kitchen was extremely well equipped!! Outdoor space magical!! We would love to book again.

Great stay, right on the river, really nice view. Was able to go down the steps and look at the river and sit on the dock which was a good river level for late October/ November . The living room with the bar and game table was very cool. Also the kitchen with the little window to the living room was very cool to serve food through. easy to park and easy to find.

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!

Great location. Kids enjoy fishing from the back dock.

We had an amazing stay here! We visited with our 2 kids over the long weekend and from the moment they woke up, they were mesmerized! From the bikes, toys, kayaks, SUP, row boats and fishing poles/tackle to the thoughtful touches (extra items in the bathroom like makeup wipes, razors, etc) and snacks, we can easily say this has been a top 5 Airbnb stay! Jason and Elaine came out and brought us a clothing steamer as we were getting dressed for a family wedding and they were 10/10 hosts-caring, kind, accommodating. We will definitely be back and if you are hesitating on hitting the “book now” button, don’t hesitate-book your stay asap! You won’t regret it!

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.

We had a great stay at the Waterfall house. The location can't be beaten; it's secluded, the views are great and it is within walking distance from all of the Jenner hot spots :) Baked goods and drinks from Cafe Aquatica were the perfect way to start our mornings. We also had a great time kayaking on the river with the seals! The kitchen was stocked well enough for all of our needs as a group of 5, and the porch and deck spaces were great for hanging out. The sofa bed wasn't super comfortable but it was good enough for our needs. The other beds were all very comfortable and we slept well! The hosts at the Jenner Inn were super responsive and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again!

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!!

Our stay at Lucky Bend Lookout was absolutely a dream. I wish I could stay on the porch overlooking the river (with redwoods right on the property!) forever. Despite the space being somewhat small for 8 adults, it was so well-appointed and with so many bonus outdoor spaces that it didn't feel that way. Sarah went out of her way to ensure we understood the details in the listing and had all the info we'd need in advance. The house was very clean, and well-stocked with the essentials. Nothing super fancy but it very much did the job. Hopefully I can come back sometime in the summer when the dock is installed.

High recommend - this place was very beautifully furnished and efficiently laid out, felt bigger than it is. Plenty of space for 2 adults and two young adults inside plus a spacious outdoor deck. Super comfortable place, exactly as described. Linens and beds very comfortable, delightful and plentiful table ware which is not always the case. The host was very proactive with details on how to access the keys and that lockbox codes expire at a specific time which was very helpful. Also great to have kayak and paddleboards available too. Loved it.

If you are looking for a cozy space where you can wake up, walk down a few flights of stairs and be in the water, this is it. It is clean, cozy and wonderful. They have one kayak, which we used and appreciated (bring a second kayak so you can cruise around together - or some inner tubes). The only challenge is parking. There is one parking spot and our Tahoe was sticking out into the road a bit (we almost drove off the cliff trying to make it work). We highly recommend.

This is a beautifully decorated and cozy airbnb. The fully stocked kitchen with vaulted ceilings and ample counter space was fantastic, bedrooms were well furnished, kids had fun playing games in the well maintained lawn space. We didn’t get to use the outdoor theater area but had a really fun time in the lounge room upstairs with the foozball table. Highly recommend for larger families for a staycation! For things to do nearby - our family enjoyed the gold discovery park where the gold rush first began, the el do rado trail that’s nearby and the Starfield vineyards & winery that’s barely a 10 min walk away.

Staying at this cabin nestled in the heart of a redwood grove in the Santa Cruz mountains was truly magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this wasn't just a place to stay — it was a carefully curated experience. The host has thought of everything to make guests feel at home and beyond comfortable. The attention to detail was incredible: high-quality toiletries, a well-stocked pantry with essentials (and then some!), soft, luxurious bedding, and even thoughtfully placed candles that added a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. Every touch felt intentional and generous. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the host. Incredibly accommodating, kind, and flexible — they went out of their way to ensure every one of our needs was met with care and promptness. It’s rare to come across someone so committed to hospitality. Waking up surrounded by towering redwoods, with birdsong filtering through the trees, was unforgettable.

We had the most special weekend with friends at Britta’s house! It’s such a cozy property with incredible views of the river. Everything was exactly as described and perfectly clean. Being able to just walk down to the river and enjoy our morning coffee there was such a treat. And the proximity to downtown Healdsburg and wineries made it a great location for all of our weekend activities. Britta and Blake were extremely responsive and great to communicate with too. If you’re considering this property, don’t hesitate - it’s truly such a beautiful escape from the city and we can’t recommend it enough!

Awesome little cabins on the river. Great fishing in the morning with a perfect spot on the bear river. Cabins were perfectly clean and the beds are super comfortable. Grill worked well and they supplied pots and pans. You definitely do need a 4x4/AWD to get down next to the cabins. RAV4 with AWD made it up and down fine. Awesome affordable getaway. 10/10 would recommend.

The place was perfect for us Bass fisherman.
