Wooden Indian Ranch
I love this place! Just moved back to California and was excited for my first pappy’s show and was so happy this place was available. It wasn’t my first time here and it will definitely not be last (and first choice!). Guy and Nanc are the best!

Historic 1914 Stone Cabin + Private Trails & Creek
The stone cabin was so cool, although we are sure it is haunted,(probably too many scary movies). The community was so friendly. Everything was peaceful the stroll by the stream, and the mountains over looking the nearby cafe made this place a 5 star stay

Loyah Cabin
I can only heartily recommend this place. We booked for almost one week and had an extremely pleasant and relaxing stay. The cabin is really private and is super clean. The deck was great for sunbathing and resting. A perfect base to stay at for exploring the surrounding area (Yosemite, Oakhurst, Mariposa, ...) while you can unwind in your private place. Amazing Airbnb!

Wilderness Ranch House - Los Padres National Forest
Beautiful and quirky place -- exactly as described. Wonderful experience.

Wine Country Shangri~La ~~ Middle Earth
Madonna is a very gracious host and the house is brand new. If you are touring the northern Napa valley- this is a great place to stay as it is close to St Helena and Calistoga.

Wooden Indian Ranch Sunset Room
This was my second time staying at Guy and Nancy's place, and I can't recommend it enough. The room itself is cozy but has everything you could need, with the attached porch being the perfect spot to relax. I stay here when attending shows at Pappy & Harriet's down the street, and it's the perfect spot. Besides the room, Nancy and Guy are a delight to chat with. I'll be back if I get the chance.

Mojave Desert Get-Away Private Suite
Perfect little spot to relax. Super comfortable bed, chill desert vibes, clean space, and everything felt really well thought out. The host family was friendly and welcoming. I’d definitely come back.

Fruit Trees, Farm Stay, Ranch Retreat, Lake Access
From the farm tour to our actual ranch house, this was nothing short of a fever dream! The best experience ever from start to finish! You would be crazy not to book this place! Cannot wait to come back!!!

The Bunkhouse @ Mr K Ranch
This was my second time staying at Mick’s bunkhouse. I extended a few times and ultimately couldn’t extend further due to a plumbing issue that required some significant work. Mick was always responsive and proactive in addressing the situation and providing alternatives. Mick was onsite even when sick trying to address the issue. He works very hard and takes a lot of pride in the space and it shows in how it is furnished and maintained. The bed continues to be one of the most comfortable I have had in an AirBnB with a great mattress, linens and pillows. The place is compact without being cramped and well furnished without being cluttered. The kitchen is workable with the small combo oven/microwave and portable cooktop. I regularly baked salmon and seared ribeye. Mick was always responsive to questions and feedback, including providing the rare utensils/amenities that helped improve the comfort and quality of my stay. Highly recommended!

Duck Pond Cabin - Private Cabin on 400 Acre Ranch
We were looking for a peaceful, private and cozy little cabin to relax in. Between the green hills, budding oak trees, large pond habitated by various types of birds, frogs and fish; we instantly knew we found what we were looking for. As for the cabin itself, it’s beautifully appointed. The fireplace made for very cozy evenings, and the bed we wanted to take home with us. (Seriously what kind of mattress is it?). We had everything we needed for the kitchen, bathroom and otherwise. My kiddos were a bit upset with me for not bringing them along so I will be back with them. Thank you so much for a great mini-vacay!

Stunning 10 Acre Estate in Paso Robles w/360 Views
Amazing views! Quiet and serene atmosphere. The house looks just like the pictures. The hosts had great communication and were very accommodating to our requests. Would 100% recommend!

Paso Robles Ultimate Glamping Farm Stay!
I brought my little guy (age 4) to stay a few nights at the beginning of his spring break. We both had a blast and hope to come back soon. He has told everyone we see about staying in the cabin and exploring the farm. Thank you Carly and family!

“The Fishing Cabin” for Peace & Romance!
Brenda and Butch were very welcoming and helpful with directions. The property is beautiful and better than imagined. Spent lots of time relaxing, floating and swimming at the river. (Chevy Silverado 4x4 made the river access very easy.) We also loved fishing for bass in Brenda’s pond! The cabin had all the essentials. We were able to make wonderful meals on the bbq with a breathtaking view. A bald eagle frequented the valley and we held hope to see a bear, but only saw tracks. We really enjoyed our stay at Carley Ranch and we’ll be back! Thanks Brenda and Butch!

Ocean view suite near Pt. Lobos
What an amazing and special place! The home was nicely appointed and worked well for our family of 4. The pool table was a fun activity and the TVs enabled a family movie night. Beautiful place to unwind and take in the scenery. Great location to town and hikes. The host was very nice and suggested great local activities. Would highly recommend.

Hummingbird Ranch Estate w/ Pool & Spa
Christian was very responsive and helpful and the home and property were beautiful. Great yard that you can tell he is proud of. Nice pool, beautiful flowers, fruit trees, very peaceful. House was nice, comfortable and just thoroughly enjoyable. Great place.

Nature Lover's Paradise: Cozy Mountain Home
Elvis’ place was enjoyable for the family of 13. We had 5 children with us and they were able to have enough space to play and be comfortable during our stay there. Everything was clean inside the house and everything was in good working condition. This house is about 5 minutes from Bass Lake and about 50 a minute drive (without traffic) from Yosemite’s south entrance. Would recommend to larger groups that want to spend time together and be able to enjoy the outdoors as well.

Modern Vineyard Oasis 2 bed/ 2 bath
I can’t say enough great things about this air bnb. It was breathtaking and so beautiful. It was so peaceful and relaxing especially while we were in town for a funeral. I would stay here again when we plan to visit in the future. Rubi was an absolute wonderful host and her insight to a perfect clean and accommodating place to stay was just what we needed.

Private 300-acres off-grid Lodge, 45mins Yosemite
Great secluded spot. Lots of room for a large group. Host was very responsive and helpful. House is solar powered and comes with an easy to use generator when needed. Perfect spot for an off the grid weekend.

Colt Cottage
This house is so well put together. When you arrive it looks a bit old and alone in a field, but you open the door and it’s the most cozy, comfortable and quaint place I have stayed. It was wonderful because it’s so close to DIHP and away from traffic and noise. A bit dusty as you drive in but I would definitely stay here again. I arrived late at night and it’s very very dark, I called Carrie and immediately answered and helped me out. The house has everything you need and more. Well done!!

Safe Country Suite on 40 acres for Mid Term Rental
A cozy stay on a beautiful property. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable, and we really appreciated the washer/dryer since we were on a road trip. Highly recommend!!!

Charming " Farm House" at The Heritage Fallbrook
Beautiful and quiet place, perfect for relaxing with our family. The hosts gave us a tour of their petting zoo and were responsive to our requests. 10 out of 10!

Tranquil Stay on Horse Property brings peace
This is a great spot, and the host is amazing. I loved my stay. So beautiful! Spring time was so beautiful!

Carriage House at Ivy Oaks Pond Oasis Horse Ranch
We have stayed in a few airbnbs and this one is definitely the grandest and coziest one in which have stayed. The neighborhood was very peaceful and safe and the property was beautifully landscaped. We had a few minor issues with the front door, the dishwasher, and the remote which Hanna reviewed in a prompt manner. Finding permanent fix would be difficult during a holiday week but she did address them and we are certain she will resolve them for future guests. She brought us a lovely basket of passion fruit and even though parties are not a regular occurrence probably out of respect for the neighbors, she did grant permission for some of our extended family to gather for a social holiday murder mystery game. When we were researching a place to stay for Xmas week we were happy to find this one which was nicer and almost half the price of another one we were considering nearby. Thank you Hannah for being such a friendly and attentive hostess!
