Lake house vacation rentals in Northern California

This place was even better than the pictures (which looked amazing when we booked it). Everything was perfect! Enjoying the day on the back deck was definitely a highlight for my family. The neighborhood felt very safe and was nice to walk around. We can't wait to stay here again!

The home is updated and beautiful, the deck and porch are gorgeous. Jeff and Gina were extremely responsive , helpful and kind.

Great place to gather with family and friends. The house was well equipped and kitchen was well stocked and very clean. Rooms and bathrooms are a bit on the smaller side but the common areas are spacious and cozy. The house has just amazing views of Lake Tahoe. We absolutely enjoyed staying here.

This was great family experience. Our kids loved fishing and utilizing the paddle boats. Beautiful, peaceful private property. Daniele is very helpful and quick to respond. She has a kind demeanor and is attentive. I love the set up of her place. Very cozy and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this location. We had a wonderful time!! Thank you Daniele!!

Very nice area and house right on the lake. Our Grandson and daughter enjoyed the paddle boat and we had fun fishing. We didn’t catch anything and weren’t sure if there were any fish until a guy in a boat was catching fish by our dock. I’m sure as usual we weren’t using the right bait or lure. 12 year old grandson enjoyed playing basketball at the park nearby but the 7 year old was disappointed the play structure at the park was under construction. But there were other play structures nearby we could drive to.

This place is amazing and such a nice retreat not too far north of the bay area. Often you find an Airbnb that isn’t fully equipped for cooking, bathing, living, etc. but this house is truly “turn key” and has everything you need. Add the grill and backyard space along the lake, and the arcade games, and it makes for a wonderful stay. We would love to stay again and again in the future whenever we need a quick break from the city.

The whole family had an amazing time. Kids cried when we left. We will be back!

This is a beautiful home located right on the water. The place was clean and the outside deck was a plus! The fridge made a loud buzzing noise during our stay but otherwise everything was perfect. 10/10 -- I'd recommend!

Cozy and affordable place, great location. Alyssa was helpful and accommodating, proving us great sledding recommendations, feedback and advice. Great spot for kids - nice without being fussy. They loved the kids ‘nook’ in the bunk room with old school video games and the loads of games downstairs. Kitchen is tight for multiple people but we made it work.

The rock theme of the house was really cool. The landscaping of the house and the views were amazing. The bed was very comfortable, and there was a great view of the lake from the shower, very aesthetic. Clear and easy instructions for check in and check out. I love the huge DVD collection, lots of classics. And of course, the lake was so pretty and we had a blast kayaking. Overall beautiful location and we had a great stay!

We had such a great stay here with family and friends over the weekend! The cabin was beautiful, in a great location, and the host was super friendly and responsive. One thing that really stood out was how well-stocked everything was, which isn’t something we’ve typically seen at other Airbnbs. The kitchen had everything we needed, from pots and pans to coffee machines, spices, and seasonings, which was perfect since we did a lot of cooking. Just a heads-up if you’re a coffee person: they provide the machines but not the coffee, so be sure to bring your own! The place was also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus. We loved that there were tons of games, activities, and even outdoor gear to keep everyone entertained. You can tell the host really cares about the guest experience, and we’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Very spacious house, conveniently located close to Lake Blvd, providing a short drive to Kings Beach, Northstar, Tahoe City, and the Alpine and Palisades resorts. The house is quite spacious, with plenty of sitting space, a good kitchen and dining room space. There is room for 4 cars in the driveway, plus one or two in the garage (depending on your parking skills ;-), which is nice. My friends and I are already thinking of trying to rent this lodge again next year (although this review may make it more difficult...). We had a small issue with the hot tub -- it was perfectly usable (it is really big too), but the jets did not function correctly every time. This has been reported and given Madelyn's responsiveness, I am confident that this will be solved.

Nice last-minute booking for my husband, our pups, and I to get away to on Easter for my hubby's b-day. Our pups liked exploring the yard while we relaxed in the hot tub.

Our second stay at this sweet little cottage. All the amenities we needed. Super cozy and quiet except for nature sounds. Just what we needed. Bonus points for the really nice shower with the tankless on-demand heating. Hot water all the time.

Inviting house! Instructions for entry were clear. House was wonderful!

Absolutely beautiful place with excellent views of the lake, quiet neighborhood, and comfortable beds! We love how dog friendly it is with the dog door. Instructions were clear and the place was easy to find. Very close to Ducey's and the Pine Resort. There are some steps to get to the home from the parking space, but my elderly parents tackled these with no issue. We would definitely stay here again!

This was one of our most amazing stays. The few was spectacular and the whole area was so serene. Close to anything you might need even though you felt like you were a million miles away. The deer and birds made me feel like a Disney princess lol. We were able to walk around the whole property including there other spots. I can’t express how breathtaking the views were and how lovely it was to wake up to it. We will definitely be back!!!

We enjoyed the stay—it was spotless and very peaceful! The checkout process was very thorough. Just make sure you read the instructions thoroughly, that way you won't get charged! Overall, it was a great stay!

Great place to stay with the family. There’s video games, a pool table, kayaks, a giant dog bed, a tv in every room, and space for everyone. The dock parking was great for my husband’s boat, and the lakeside deck was beautiful to watch birds, see fish, and enjoy the weather. The first night we stayed was super windy and rainy, but the house remained quiet and warm inside. Clearlake oaks is a small town but the few restaurants and winery we were recommended were good. Definitely a place great for boating and water activity in the good weather. Elsa was also super responsive and friendly!

Our stay was amazing! The home is even more beautiful than the photos. There was so much space inside and outside. Had a multitude of supplies and overall was very comfortable! Perfect place for family, friends, and furry friends! The hosts were also so kind and responsive. Will definitely be coming back!

This is the third time I have stayed at Karen's home with my family. It's always been spotlessly clean and everything is easy to find. Karen is an amazing host. I probably bother her too often, but she answers immediately and always with a smile in her voice. The beds are perfect (which is often not the case elsewhere). There's room to park my pontoon boat or trailer which is very nice to have. I would recommend this home to anyone.

My family went to Lake Wildwood to visit some family and luckily found Iris' house. Her place was ideal! Comfortable and close to a park on the lake, with a wonderful deck to sit on and share about old times as the sun set behind the oaks. And Iris was as available and helpful as you could hope for. We will return for sure.

Roger’s place was wonderful! Very clean and had plenty of space for everything we needed. Unfortunately, we were here for work and weren’t able to enjoy all this place had to offer, but would love to come back again for a vacation! Roger was excellent with the communication and extremely flexible and helpful.

Olivier's place had everything we needed to thoroughly enjoy our stay. The house was very comfortable and well stocked with extras that you may need. It definitely felt like a home away from home. Olivier was responsive and proactive ensuring we had everything we needed to have a great trip. Best host ever!
