Della's Dream A Cozy Rustic Cabin near Yosemite!

StephenRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This spot was perfect for our little family of three. Half way between Yosemite's South Gate and the surprisingly well-equipped town of Oakhurst, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would book this place again. Check-in was a breeze, and the host was very responsive when asked a question or two during the visit. The wood-burning stove and the hot tub were a bonus for tired legs after long hikes, and a cozy atmosphere and opportunity to warm up during nightly movies while relaxing. Would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a non-hotel option that's very private and slightly off the beaten path.

Cute 2B/1B cabin in the West Village

DarrelRating, 5 stars2 months ago
There was no snow on the ground so getting to the house was easy. I followed "Waze" which took me right there. The parking is ample. It was easy to get the key and open the slider. The heater worked wonderfully. If you want firewood bring it with you as they store only sells Pine for 9.00 a bundle. That burns fast. They also sell Duraflame logs which burn for hours and are a better deal. Its not far from China Peak so it was a nice trip for a ski day. Its close enough to the deli and the Shaver Lake Pizza to walk but I drove anyway. We rented ski equipment from Shaver Lake Sports which is really close too. There are ample pillows, blankets and towels. The wifi was strong and easy to get connected. The TV is self explanatory. The couch is comfortable, I fell asleep on it after a day's skiing. If we had time we would have walked around the neighborhood, which looked really cute. The shower had ample hot water and included shampoo and body wash. I'd go again!

King Bed, Dogs Loved, EV Plug, Fire Pit, & More

PushkinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our family of four had a great two days at the cabin. The cabin was very tastefully furnished and felt like home. It was cozy and all the amenities one could expect including a family room with games and books. The house was squeaky clean and the fireplace was a great touch. The surroundings were quiet and very private. We skied at Dodge Ridge which was 20 min away. Overall a memorable weekend for our family and we plan to visit again this summer.

Our family had an amazing time at this cozy cabin in Arnold, CA! The space was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.

The location was perfect—near Calaveras Big Trees, 20 min to Bear Valley, also offering a peaceful and scenic escape with use of a private lake for a great summer spot to stay. sharon was responsive and thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a family-friendly retreat with plenty of fun and relaxation, this is the perfect spot. We can’t wait to come back!

Backyard Playset Family Getaway Home

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a fantastic stay—this Airbnb was absolutely perfect for our family! It had everything we needed and more. The space was clean, comfortable, and clearly set up with families in mind. The outdoor playground was a major highlight—our kids spent hours out there, which made the trip so much more relaxing for us. It’s not easy to find places that are both kid-friendly and parent-approved, but this one nailed it. The location was also amazing—just a short drive to the beach, which made beach days easy and enjoyment. Also close to Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row. Our host was super responsive and a great communicator, which made everything smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend for any family looking for a fun, easy, and well-equipped beach stay!

Very homely vibes from the property. Our family enjoyed the “themed rooms”, trampoline and yards full of flowers. Very clean, lot of natural lights and younger members loved the bunked beds.

2 bdrm Bungalow 3 blocks from the Beach

JillRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was, by far, the best air bnb we have ever stayed in. In addition, Kim and Pam were fantastic and couldn’t have made our stay any better. They thought of everything to make a couple or family feel right at home. Everything was spotless, plenty of basics such as towels, linens, blankets to make your stay so cozy. And the beds, they were heaven. Great night’s sleep is definitely to be had. We used the fireplace inside when we arrived as it was chilly. Just perfect touch. Walk in shower is great. So nice to have two bathrooms, one with tub. Walking distance to beach. We went there every day with our dog. Very dog friendly area; you will encounter many daily. We appreciated the privacy and fenced yard, lovely entertaining area and the hammock was great. I highly recommend cloud gazing. Thank you, Kim and Pam for a truly memorable stay. We had the best time and you helped make it that way :)

South Tahoe Vacation Home Snow Cabin!

AndreaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The house was big enough to accommodate the 5 of us with room to spare. We were comfortable and felt right at home. All was clean and functional, the location was great to get into South Lake Tahoe and all the ski resorts. We never made it into the backyard although the bocci court was calling to us- but it kept snowing. The house and grounds are very well laid out. We hope to come back to play bocci!

Renzo's place is peaceful and quiet. Everything was as described. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was well made. It took a while for the hot water to come out, but it was not a big deal. The kitchen was modernly remodeled and very bright with the skylight. We did not go out to the backyard, but it was very large and bluebirds greeted us. I was surprised to see many spices in the kitchen. All the rooms were clean and the front door was easy to access. Thanks to Renzo, a kind host and artist.

Casa de Lodi - Cozy Home Close to Vineyards

CrystalRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were so lucky to find Hisham's place last minute for an unexpected funeral. The house was roomy and looked as good as the photos! He was responsive before booking, giving us permission to fit our family. They only issue we had was there was a toilet that wasn't working in the master bathroom which Nadia quickly assisted us with and it was resolved. There was also a broken window which did not affect the house at all as it was one of a double paned window, but it would have saved me a little panic if I knew in advance haha. The location was excellent! It was a nice small cul de sac and even though it was very very close to shops, it was absolutely peaceful and quiet. The stairs were a little steep, so be careful with your small children. We didn't have any major issues. The house was very clean and comfortable. Hisham and Nadia were compassionate to our situation, very kind, and very responsive. Would definitely stay again!!!

The home was perfect for our friend group of 7 people. We enjoyed the pool greatly during the October heatwave. We enjoyed the kitchen as we made a few meals at the house and it had everything we needed. Jerry was quick to respond if we had any questions at all although there were rarely any questions since he did such a great job checking us in and showing us around. Would definitely recommend for a family or friend trip. And I would absolutely stay again!

Carla and Bob were wonderful hosts. They greeted us at the door and gave us a tour of the house as well as tips on how to work certain appliances. They went above and beyond to accommodate my whole family by buying a brand new inflatable bed the day before. We enjoyed having a cup of coffee in their beautiful backyard every morning. I would definitely recommend, wonderful stay for a family.
