Guesthouse in La Selva Beach
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 600 reviewscute cottage walking distance to beach
This Airbnb is a great location to explore Santa Cruz county and it’s a short distance from Monterey. The host was able to accommodate us with a Pack N Play for our 5 month old and was even flexible with an early check-in! We were able to enjoy the pumpkin patch which was a short 10 minute walk from the Airbnb and a highlight for our first family trip with our baby. This is a great spot if you want to feel a bit “off the grid” in a low key beach house. Overall a nice experience!
Guesthouse in Bodega Bay
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 486 reviewsSeaside Studio
A very cozy and comfortable retreat! I felt safe as a solo female traveler, and appreciated that the entry path is well lit and marked, making it easy to arrive even after dark. The room is small (as described) and it had everything I needed. Loved the shower/bath (amazing hot water pressure) and serene gardens surrounding the cottage.
Guesthouse in Nevada City
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 426 reviewsAdorable Place for 2, Downtown NC
Cute little Bungalow, very cozy and peaceful. Would stay there again. Kathy was very friendly and helpful.
Guesthouse in Fort Bragg
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 178 reviewsOcean view guesthouse with coastal access
This was my second stay at Trulee's place and I hope to return again. The Airbnb was spotless and clean. The views from the home are beautiful. It's a short drive to Mendocino or Fort Bragg for great food, fun shopping, and more gorgeous ocean views. Wifi reception can be spotty, but that was not an issue for us.
Guesthouse in Shasta Lake
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 451 reviewsHighland Cottage, peaceful country setting
Very cute air BB! Perfect location if you are looking for something close to the lake, boat ramp or dam. The house is situated at the end of the street and was very private. I did not find the bathroom being separated from the rental an issue. Not a tone of food options but Uber eats does deliver and the local coffee shop has amazing food and coffee! For the price it was a very great budget friendly stay!
Guesthouse in Santa Maria
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 1,533 reviewsFrench Country Casita - Breakfast Included
Mark and Christina’s place was amazing! From the cute courtyard area to the sign welcoming us, to the room itself and the delicious breakfast! This was a great place to stay! Definitely recommend if you are in the area! Lots of restaurants close by. Had plenty of amenities in the room.
Guesthouse in Ferndale

This is such a cute place in a quaint little town. We enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed a little longer to enjoy the shops and surroundings.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We loved your garden and so did our dogs. We were able to watch all the hummingbird activity. We enjoyed the extra amenities. You thought of every detail. The place felt safe, quiet and comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

My wife and I had a wonderful time here! The hosts were very welcoming and quickly responded to any inquiries we had, and we felt all of our needs and expectations were met and exceeded. The place was nice and cozy, yet had all of the necessary amenities and it made for a really nice time.

Guesthouse in Nice
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 106 reviewsLakeview Cottage B (No Cleaning Fee)
It was a great place, and I loved the privacy. I arrived later in the night because I left work late, so getting there was pretty scary, but I made it okay. Directions and where to park were perfect. I would stay again.
Guesthouse in Arcata
5 out of 5 average rating, 127 reviewsForest Grotto - Enjoy our Redwood Oasis
Diana is so thoughtful and her place is amazing!! So beautiful and peaceful! We were there to be with our daughter on her 21st birthday and to watch her first basketball game at Cal Poly Humboldt! Diana made a birthday cake for our girl!! So very sweet! She also had yummy treats there for us to enjoy from a local bakery. We loved our stay at her beautiful Airbnb and will definitely be back! Thank you Diana!!
Guesthouse in Morongo Valley
5 out of 5 average rating, 313 reviewsHigh Desert Cabin w/ Wood-fired Tub & Mini Donkeys
One of my favorite AirBnB experiences to date. The cabin is so beautiful and cozy, with a ton of lovely touches (the cooking salts, the bath products). The wood fire tub was even better than expected, and super fun to use. And of course, you cannot beat the views. Sincerely hope I can spend more time at this magical place soon! Matt & Ashley were great hosts.
Guesthouse in Groveland
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 241 reviewsCozy Getaway Near Yosemite!
We stayed overnight after our day trip to Yosemite. The place is so cozy, small but well equipped. Would highly recommend this place.
Guesthouse in Sea Ranch
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 360 reviewsSchoner Haus at the Sea Ranch
This was a very clean, cozy, and comfortable place for my husband and I. I expected to be a closer walk to the beach, however the beach was just a short drive. The host was very kind and accommodating.
Guesthouse in Julian
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 239 reviewsCozy Country Cottage
My boyfriend and I needed a weekend getaway for our two-year anniversary. We loved the coziness of the cottage and the space was big enough for two people. The mountain views from the cabin was beautiful to wake up to as well.

Guesthouse in Weed
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 180 reviewsNew Build Guest Cottage w/ Saltwater Spa!
My husband and I had wonderful stay at Tina’s, and at such a reasonable price! The entire home is spotless and very welcoming. If you are visiting the Mt Shasta area, I highly recommend staying with Tina! Sadly, we only spent a few hours overnight as we were just passing through town. I am hoping to be back soon to take in all the stunning views and have a soak in the hot tub!
Guesthouse in Topanga
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 129 reviewsQuiet Topanga Guest Suite
This suite was perfect for close proximity to our son’s wedding venue on Topanga Canyon Road. My husband and i were so grateful for the roomy, comfortable space to enjoy some down time, as well as get ready for the events. Perfect space for 2! Very clean space, with little touches of accommodating features lie lots of extra towels, blankets, washer + dryer, bottles of water + more. Always nice to find that one thing you forgot pack - like Qtips, or lotion. Thank you!
Guesthouse in Sonora
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 271 reviewsHomestead Barn Loft: Tesla Chargers
Stayed at this lovely property and had a fantastic experience. The house was impeccably clean, providing a private and peaceful retreat. I especially appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of feminine products. One of the highlights was the adorable cat that greeted us each time we returned. It added a warm, homely touch to our visit, and my husband is now even considering getting a cat of our own. We weren’t able to do the farm tour because we went to Yosemite on both days and I highly recommend following Daniel and Aimee directions if you plan to visit. They take about an hour, while relying on GPS can lead to a two-and-a-half-hour drive! Overall, the attention to detail and the welcoming atmosphere made this an exceptional stay. Highly recommend!
Guesthouse in Healdsburg
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 270 reviewsAlexander Valley: Wine Lover and Cycling Paradise
Loved staying here! It was just as described and so very peaceful. We could easily get to places around Sonoma and Napa from this location but yet come back and sit outside feeling like we were miles away from everything. And of course, the goats were very entertaining!
Guesthouse in Los Angeles
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 488 reviewsUrban Retreat
Ray and Adreana’s place was perfect for me and my 9 yr old daughter. Their house is absolutely beautiful and they were very thoughtful hosts. Good coffee and snacks and a water filter in the mint fridge was a great plus. They were very responsive and have a whole book with suggestions of what to do during your time in LA. The guest house was private but they also allowed us to use their pool which was a great addition to our trip. The bed was also very comfy! Would highly recommend their place to anyone staying in the LA area. 10/10! Hope to visit again soon :)
Guesthouse in Ferndale
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 314 reviewsRed Barn Cottage, Cozy and Charming
The cottage is a perfect place to stay. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to the center of town. As a traveler who travels light especially when on my motorcycle, I appreciated the ability to use the washer and dryer. I’m also thankful for the little extras such as eggs, yogurt, etc that are in the refrigerator. This last stay was my 2nd time and I look forward to the next stay.
Guesthouse in San Luis Obispo
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 523 reviewsSLO Guesthouse - quiet - near downtown - #115545
This is a lovely unit that I highly recommend, above the owner's garage. It's in a great location close to Cal Poly and downtown, and there's a cute market around the corner. The unit was clean, private, and spacious. The hosts were communicative, responsive, and gracious. We'd love to stay there again when we visit next.
Guesthouse in Malibu
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 101 reviewsArtists' retreat with views of surf and sunset.
We really enjoyed our time at Carla’s Airbnb! Stunning views of rolling hills and the Pacific Ocean with nice seating for a morning coffee. The Airbnb was clean, comfortable, and suited our needs perfectly for the four of us. Would highly recommend Carla’s Airbnb and would love to go back!😊
