Barn vacation rentals in Central California

This property is really SUCH a gem! We wanted to find a place in nature that wasn't too far from Yosemite and glad that we chose to book at Cooper Lodge. Other than the house cleaners running behind causing a bit of a delay to get inside the home myself and kids LOVED everything about this place! The games, ping pong table, the swing all were such an amazing touch that really left us with so much to do! It was a great home away from home and so nice to be able to disconnect from our day to day lives.

We’ve stayed at this barn as a couple, with family, with friends, and now with our own family. It’s been a great stay and we look forward to coming back. Hosts provided many comforts like beer and wine, snacks, and toiletries all of which are much appreciated.

This Airbnb was perfect for our trip! The house was spacious enough for three couples to fit comfortably; everyone found the beds cozy. There was no AC, but even during a heatwave the house maintained a pleasant temperature inside. The main negative was the strong mildew smell on the bath towels, as well as the bedlinens in one bedroom. Aside from this, we had a great stay and would recommend it to others – especially if you are attending a wedding at Greengate Ranch, just steps down the road.

We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. The entire home was spotless, the running water was warm, and the property was peaceful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get away.

Our stay was lovely! The space is as described and looked just like the photos, and based on the some of the previous feedback, we knew what to expect. Yes, it could use some decor/furnishing updates and a good solid top-to-bottom deep clean, but the perfect location/proximity to amenities and reasonable price makes it worth it. We would stay here again!

Best retreat! Very private and nice ranch with goats and horses! Highly recommend.

A great place to stay with lots of supplies. We especially loved the kitchen and location- how walkable it was to things to do. I loved walking to south shore in my free time or for coffee. The driveway was a bit narrow if you have a larger SUV, but you can still get in and out. It felt like a home away from home as there was evidence of family memories made there. The hosts were extremely responsive to any questions and we would definitely stay again.

This was our first time using Airbnb and our host, April, set the bar high! It was such a pleasant stay, and nothing could have been better. She is very responsive and went above and beyond to accommodate us. My son slept on the couch and it was very comfortable. Everything was very clean and well taken care of. The views right out the front door are incredible and everything is a short drive or a little walk away. They have some beautiful trails to hike and bike right out from the driveway. If we make it back to Half Moon Bay, we will definitely be booking this again! Thank you for a great experience!

This Farm House was an amazing retreat! Me and my family loved how big and spacious it is! Clean and organized with labels for easy use. My kids loved the garden and the outside fruit trees! The area smelled amazing this time of the year, flowers were beautiful and overall a great place to connect to nature! I highly recommend it for families with kids! Pallavi is a great host and she definitely put alot of attention to detail on the house and furnishings! Took the family to sequoia and it was very close to the park. The only thing I regret is not staying longer. I'll definitely find a remedy by visiting another time with the use of the kitchen (which was amazing!) Overall 10/10, kid friendly and parent approved!

Sarah’s place was the perfect home for a family weekend getaway! The details made me feel right at home and had a magical charm that made the home feel cozy and warm. It also had so many amenities (pool table, tons of board games, outdoor games, many areas for stargazing, fire pit) that we had plenty of options for spending time all together. Sarah’s home was also clean and everything was clearly labeled and easy to find. The guidebook and instructions were all clear and helpful. The area was peaceful and although restaurants and stores were far, there were still some options. Overall it was an amazing stay!!

Great place to stay. Host is so nice, communication is excellent, very friendly and making sure all is at the right place. Place is clean, original to stay at and worth every penny of it. I would definitely come back!

Jonah’s place was in a great location, centrally located and close to many local restaurants and wineries. It was very clean and set up well for two couples, as at had 2 rooms with their own bathroom on opposite sides of the great room/kitchen, and a powder room. There was a coffee pot and Keurig provided but you need to bring your own pods and/or filters. We really enjoyed our stay!

From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Travis, who took the time to chat, explain a few things, and made it clear he was available to help with anything I needed. He was very kind, and the place itself is amazing — everything feels brand new, and absolutely nothing was missing during my stay. I truly felt at home.

So happy with our stay at the barn. We were looking for a quiet, remote, and unplugged experience somewhere beautiful where we could enjoy nature as a family. This place checked all the boxes. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived that the barn looked even better than the pictures. So charming and unique. We enjoyed the Foosball table, the fire pit, hiking, petting the pigs and the horse, and looking at the stars (you can see soooo many up there). Susan, the on-site manager, was warm and wonderful. Definitely planning on returning some time.

The carriage house was so delightful. We loved the coziness, quietness and overall special place. We loved being able to have our dog join us. We walked everywhere and would come back to rest and read. It was a lovely place and Khristina gave us so many great ideas for coffee, lunch and dinner. We had a wonderful time. You cannot beat the location!

Tami was an amazing host and I’m glad we found the Cottonwood Barn before labor day weekend! Their place was immaculate and well taken care of. The interactions with the barn animals there led to an unforgettable experience. Do yourself a favor and consider this location for your next adventure! Thank you again!

Really enjoyed our stay at The Barn and would definitely like to visit again soon!

What an amazing find. I don’t think I can say enough about this beautiful place. First, the property and the scenery were breathtakingly beautiful and so much attention to detail was put into this property and home, making it by far the best place we have ever stayed. Then you add in the fantastic hosts - Natalie and Glen and you have utter perfection. Natalie went above and beyond to help make our stay amazing. She delivered eggs and pastries to us for breakfast and was so helpful to us during our stay. I cannot say enough how great our stay was. Highly recommended. Five stars is not high enough. We will come back many times in the future.

We enjoyed a very quiet and peaceful weekend at Anthony’s place. Anthony was very accommodating of our service dogs and provided a lot of excellent local recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Anthony’s place has some quirks, but nothing he didn’t prepare us for and nothing that took away from the quality of our stay. The “house within a house” concept was awesome. Coffee and games in the outer shell in the morning was great. We also loved hanging on the balcony and taking in the beautiful view. The area is very quiet and every neighbor we walked by with the dogs was friendly. Definitely recommend Anthony’s place to anyone looking for a zen-like stay, but with all the modern amenities that make our lives easier.

Awesome house out side of Oakhurst! Plenty of room for our whole group! Plenty of beds! Nice bathrooms! Great little apartment style 1 bedroom on one end. Lots of parking! We had 4 different vehicles and a horse trailer. Wi-Fi not great at all but kept the kids off their phones. A crockpot would be nice for cold days. Very well maintained inside and out. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for an inexpensive place to stay. Great value for what you pay. Stop thinking about it, just book it!!

This house sits on an acre+ and the grounds are clean and beautiful. Check in and check out instructions were easy. The home is very large with plenty of rooms and beds for a large group of people. We cooked every night and the large kitchen made it easy. We appreciate the use of pots, pans, etc. A big plus is that the beach is a short drive! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We felt very lucky to have found it on AirBNB and the price was more than reasonable! Definitely worth every penny!

We had such an amazing time at the Hayloft! The space is clean, bright and airy! Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s right down the street from downtown and the park- which was a huge plus for our 6 yr old! We will be coming back and making this our go to for family visits!
