Romantic Beach Cottage with Hot Tub
We really really like this place. Time moves slower, and it feels very restorative, even if it’s just a weekend. Will easily go again.

Sea Otter Cottage in Santa Cruz!
The Sea otter Cottage was such a dream! It was beautiful, cozy and was everything we wanted for a relaxing family vacation. it was very family friendly-the backyard was my toddlers dream. Would recommend 100% and definitely will book again!

"Just A Minit" Bolinas Cottage
Lovely artist’s cottage! The owner’s art and collections are on display, I kept seeing something new every day. Very comfortable and easy to walk to the beach or into town. Had a relaxing and comfortable stay. Slept really well!!

Story-Book Cottage in the Heart of Wine Country
This is a charming place, beautifully kept with lovely furnishings. We really enjoyed the well appointed kitchen as we cooked every day. The yard and gardens are beautifully kept, peaceful and serene. Oranges growing right outside the house! We were in town for a wedding, and Santa Rosa is right in the middle of so many enjoyable things to do. We hiked on the CCT out past Bodega Bay, enjoyed restaurants in Healdsburg, visited the redwoods and shopped at the Barlow in Sebastopol. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your lovely home. We had a fabulous time!

WiLD Vines Winery and Farm Cottage
This was a perfect spot for a personal retreat. I loved everything from the decor to the comfy bed to the private hot tub and well tended garden. I would love to come back again.

Surf cottage Pleasure Point walk to surf/ coffee
Annie was a great host and the place was exactly as described and just what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We loved the hot tub in the backyard and the beach cottage feel of the place. Thank you for hosting us!

Sequoias Creekside/Vintage Yellow Cottage
The place was fantastic, in a beautiful location. Surrounding nature was so peaceful 🌲 Joanie was great, always super responsive and helpful. Hot tub was definitely a plus under the stars 🌌

Napa Wine Country Retreat - Villa
This home is absolutely beautiful! The outside is gorgeous and relaxing. The outdoor patio and hot tub are amazing! The location is also fabulous. We went to the Bothe-Napa state park and the Castello di Amorosa both of which were only 15min away as is downtown Calistoga which is really cute. We really enjoyed our stay!! The only slightly problematic feature is the toilet, it doesn’t really work.

French Oak | 2 blocks to Downtown! | Dog Friendly!
We had a great stay. It's nice, clean and comfortable. Especially the King master bed. Adrielle was responsive and communicated well. It's also only 3 blocks from the main strip in downtown. No surprises or misunderstood expectations here, this charming home presented just as it did in the pictures. Would surely recommend Adrielle and this home.

One hour from Yosemite Pk. Cottage in the woods
I have resided at Marilyn's cottage years before making for a very pleasant return. Updates to the place were well-placed, improving an already fantastic place. This speaks to Marilyn's eye for the importance of details as it relates to comfort. I would stay again.

Beach Getaway
Nice spot with a lot to do around it, super friendly people everywhere. House was nice and clean and it’s in a quiet neighborhood besides the airport.

Peaceful Cottage in an Olive Grove
We stayed at Chris’s place for 2 nights and it was amazing. Such a peaceful and charming place, my fiancé and I love it! The views out the back porch were so beautiful. Chris was very responsive and catered to our needs! An easy 5 stars!!

The Heard House
This sweet cottage was more magical than we even expected! We were surprised by all of the thoughtful touches, the decor, excellent cooking utensils, coffee, snacks, and so much more. It felt like we were staying in a secret tree house and the patio created the most calming space for outdoor meals and relaxing. The location was quiet, very convenient and just the right size for two. We can't wait to come back and enjoy this space again!

Cozy Creekside Wine Country Retreat #2
Laying by the river on the deck with my two senior doggos was pure bliss!
Casa Venida by the Beach, Light & Stylish Cottage
We had a great stay! Cynthia was very responsive and helpful before and throughout the stay. We had plenty of information about the house, what was needed from us, and the house was stocked with everything we could need. The location is amazing! Very easy to walk to the beach, and we loved the feature of the warm water shower at the home to clean up before entering.

Welcome to The Hidden Cottage Downtown Morro Bay
This cottage is fantastic. It embodies Morro Bay perfectly: quirky, a little funky, charming, beachy, artsy. It’s super cute and has everything you could possibly need. The location is fantastic amidst restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Yet it’s quiet and tranquil. Walking distance to everything in Morro Bay. Jennifer was a great host, very responsive and nice. Absolutely recommend this place!

Country Cottage easy access to Yosemite, more!
Trudy's cottage is a wonderful, beautiful get-away. It's location is very accessible to Oakhurst where there are plenty of options for groceries and any/all necessities. Yosemite is just 45 -1hr away depending on your interests which is a very reasonable distance if you are not "staying in" the national park. All in all, I appreciate the peaceful efficiency of the entire experience. Trudy provided upfront, clear communication. The cottage is private with lock-box. It is perfect size for one to 4 people max. It has essentially everything one or group would need. No complaints whatsoever. We will absolutely love to be back. Thank you, Trudy, for providing such a gracious, lovely home.

2 Bedroom Cottage with Full Kitchen - WiFi - BBQ
Last airbnb host canceled on us at the last minute and Stephanie was willing to welcome us and told us to come at any time, which was very important because otherwise we won’t have a place to stay for that night. I really appreciate it. The place is cute and clean, very comfortable to live there. Highly recommended.

Bright & Beautiful Cottage
I literally couldn’t have asked for more. They were so responsive and helpful with anything we may need. I stayed here for a month for surgery and didn’t want to leave when the month was over. The tiny house was clean and exactly what I wanted and needed for my recovery. Close to everything I needed and wanted to get to. All the light and fresh air you can ask for. Recommendations for food and stores. Visits from their amazing dog!! I wouldn’t change a thing! What an amazing host, family, city, and tiny home. I will definitely be back.

Newly remodeled Quaint Three Rivers Cottage A
We enjoyed our very short stay at Debra’s cottage. Would have loved to stay longer. Very nice place for Sequoia NP visits. Everything was clean, host communicated very well, and instructions were clear. Would definitely come back and hopefully for longer next time. THANKS!!!!!

Private Garden Cottage behind lovely Victorian
We enjoyed our stay and Eddie is a wonderful host. The property is ideal for short stays, has the required basic amenities and priced competitively. On this visit to SFO, that is what we were looking for. Hence it worked out well for us.

"Clancy's Cottage"a cozy 2bdr house
Amazing stay! We really enjoyed the peaceful and quiet location it was the perfect retreat. The cottage was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The host was welcoming and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Would absolutely stay here again! The animals, beer and wine made it all the while worth it.

Emerald Cottage
Amazing little place in a nice quite neighborhood. Exactly what I wanted during my stay in Clovis!

Cinnamon Creek Cottage Near Sequoia National Park!
We had such a wonderful time at Cinnamon Creek Cottage! The surrounding area was so beautiful and green in the winter. Super close to Sequoia National Park where we had a blast. The home was clean, cozy, and had a beautiful yard and mountain view. It was a perfect spot for a long weekend get-away!
