Family-friendly vacation rentals in Wine Country

We had an excellent stay, and our family trip to Sonoma and Napa Valley was fabulous! We definitely would stay here again.

Casa Sophia was exactly as described. My wife and I stayed for about two weeks with our four-year-old. The house accommodates kids very well. The living room with stove was a joy to hang out in over the holidays. It's one of the only AirBnB kitchens I've enjoyed cooking in as it basically has all the equipment needed and plenty of space. Even the knives were sharp. We couldn't take advantage of the outside area as much as we would have liked since it rained almost the entire stay, but it is gorgeous and hanging out in the hot tub on a sunny morning sipping coffee watching mist peel off the redwoods was a highlight for me. Quick drive to Guerneville, 20 minutes to the coast and a half-hour to Santa Rosa. We went on walks all over the neighbourhood as well. The neighbours are friendly and lots of dogs to greet. All three of us were very sad to leave. It was a great home.

Mary's cottage was the perfect retreat for two friends reconnecting after years without seeing each other. It has a rustic forest feel but was also super clean and comfy. An easy drive into Guerneville (probably walkable in summer, though you would be walking on a main road/highway) and just minutes from Armstrong Redwoods, plus it's not far from many other cute little towns and wineries throughout the area. From the photos, we thought there would be more space outside to sit among the trees and feel like we were in the forest, but it is on a small road with houses close by, so not as "forested" as the photos make it appear. Still, you are surrounded by redwoods, and there's the hot tub, two very comfortable bedrooms (one with its own small bathroom), and a very comfy couch with a great TV. (Did I use the word "comfy" several times? Well, you get the point.) Mary is a wonderful host and super responsive, too.

Lovely house and perfect location. Worked great since we all got our own bedroom and had a full kitchen. Would absolutely stay here again.

Charming little cabin in a great area! It’s conveniently located 5 minutes from downtown, with plenty of dining options and little shops. Cabin was super spacious and had great amenities. Would visit again.

The place was exactly like the picture showed. The house has lots of space very comfortable. We enjoy so much the playroom and it’s huge. The location of the house was fantastic right in the center of everything. Very well equipped kitchen and the beds was superb. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

My little family was in desperate need of a getaway and some quality family time. Jeannette's house was just what we needed. It was a cold and wet weekend in Rio Nido, but that was fine by us. The surrounding area is so beautiful and peaceful, and we had the most lovely dog walks exploring the area. The home itself was incredibly comfortable and cozy and had everything we needed. The heated blankets were a nice touch! We made excellent use of the hot tub, and spied some cool wildlife from our very comfortable position in the jacuzzi. My daughter was very excited for the hot cocoa K-cup pods and I certainly appreciated the coffee options. The neighborhood was very quiet (I'm guessing because we were there in Feb. and not the more popular summer season). Having the Roadhouse so close was convenient, but we mostly did our own cooking. Friendly heads up that the smoke detectors are very sensitive (a good thing!) so turn on fan and open windows before cooking on the stove! :)

My family of 5 adults had a wonderful, peaceful stay. A few of us rarely left - it was so nice. Others enjoyed nearby hikes. We all cooked a lot so the well stocked kitchen was great. The home had every pot, pan, utensil we could possibly want, and Surf Market and Gualala Market had everything we needed (including Duck Fat!). The house was warm and cozy (great fireplace, lots of wood, excellent heat) despite all the amazing windows and skylights that looked out on the dripping redwood forest. The hot tub was used repeatedly. Furniture was comfy for readers and we all had a good time binging on favorite shows in the evening. lots of cozy blankets, towels and comfy beds/bedding. When we come again (and we will!), we might throw a few table top task lights in the car (or perhaps they are readily available had we asked) b/c we could have used brighter light for cooking in the kitchen, and activities at the dining room table. All in all, a winner for us!

Absolutely stunning view and very private location. Plenty of room for our group and we especially appreciated the dog run off the master bedroom for convenience for our pup. The house has everything you need and the upstairs living areas are a bit more updated. Very comfortable to hang out and just enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. The deck was perfect. Host was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay.

The host took excellent care of us when our plans were unexpectedly changed. She went above and beyond to make our experience positive.

The Cottage was a cozy and scenic place to enjoy a visit to Mendocino. The view of the coast is stunning, and a nice group of guests gathered around the firepit and grill to admire the breathtaking sunset! We also appreciated the sofabed for our child. This was a convenient, clean and straightforward place to stay for a fun getaway.

Cindy’s place was honestly the most remarkable Airbnb we have ever stayed at (and I’ve been to many)! The views are absolutely breathtaking. You can feel the energy of the ocean. It was magnificent. Part of what made it so remarkable was the very well equipped kitchen and lovely, simple decor. Both the indoor and outdoor areas were clean and free of clutter. The master bedroom was spectacular. The whole vibe was perfect. Can’t wait to return!

I absolutely loved this place! Everything about it really impressed me, we cooked some nice prime rib eye steaks on the BBQ and enjoyed the fire pit at night and plenty of privacy, the home is a very cool design and had plenty of space and it was spotless! So many accommodations like dishes, towels, beach chairs, basically everything you need. The WIFI worked great and the living room was cozy. I’ll be booking again and the Host Mara was very easy to communicate with! I highly recommend staying here when visiting Fort Bragg it’s really a treat!

We were looking for a place that was dog friendly, private and peaceful , in a scenic area and fun for our family of 4. Sweet Creek delivered. We wish we could have stayed longer but the one night we were there was special for our family and Cookie was a super gracious host. Thanks.

Alan was a wonderful host very responsive and Airbnb is lovely with vintage decor and even a bottle of wine. Location was excellent, close to restaurants, dog park, and a nice backyard for our dog. Beds were very comfortable and everything you could need was supplied. I would definitely recommend staying here, Lesley Selby

We had a great time at Renee's cottage. Beautiful location! It was cozy and we had just enough room for the two of us, our infant son (and his pack n' play), and our two dogs. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed. We would stay there again! : )

Our stay at this exquisite and luxurious home was simply divine. Its prime location afforded us effortless access to the renowned wineries and tasting rooms of Lasseter, Beltane, Imagery, Benzinger, and Tailsman. The convenience of a local grocery store, delightful restaurants, and a charming French bakery, all within walking distance, further enhanced our experience. The generously sized hot tub, impeccably clean and perfectly heated, provided blissful relaxation. The beautifully landscaped yard, complete with the soothing sounds of the creek, created a truly magical and restorative ambiance. Every detail of our visit was flawless, exceeding all expectations. We eagerly anticipate our return to this haven of tranquility.

Gina’s place is a sanctuary. The views are absolutely stunning and you feel transported, like you’ve gone to a tropical paradise. Everything was spotless and beautiful and at the same time cozy. I could not recommend this place enough.

We had a great stay at the Ukiah Place! The property was exactly as advertised, with breathtaking views and thoughtful accommodations for guests. Everything we needed was provided, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. If you’re bringing dogs, just be mindful of ticks in the area, as it’s a rural setting. Overall, a fantastic getaway spot!

Amazing Stay! Exactly as Described!” We had an incredible stay at this Airbnb! The property is exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The huge backyard was a fantastic space for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors, and the pool was a bonus. It’s perfect for families or anyone who enjoys a little extra room to unwind. The host was truly excellent—super responsive, welcoming, and thoughtful in ensuring we had everything we needed. The location couldn’t have been better, close to local attractions, restaurants, and transportation, yet still quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great stay!

The most incredible home and location!! So far exceeded our expectations!! The setting was gorgeous and serene and perfectly located - short drive to amazing restaurants and vineyards!! We’re already searching for our next opportunity to visit this amazing property!! Couldn’t recommend it more!!!

Loved this spot! Incredible outdoor space. Loved the fire pit! Had such a wonderful stay!! Will come again!

This was ideal home for we five friends looking to enjoy wine tasting, great restaurants, shopping, cooking in-house, spacious rooms. Large attractive table for meals; cozy kitchen nook with afternoon sun; living room ideal for relaxing and playing charades. For the reasonable extra fee, we enjoyed the warm pool in cold winter. Beds were comfy-so important. Nice to have the 2 bathrooms. Located just under 2 miles from Sonoma Plaza and close to local wineries. Nearby- outstanding Sonoma Market for fresh everything. Quick communication from host.

We would rent this place again! We chose it as a holiday retreat because it looked like a good place to entertain our friends in the area, with a large open kitchen and comfortable lounging spots, and it delivered in that regard. As is the case with almost any short-term rental, if you're planning to do significant cooking, you'll need to bring your own kitchen tools -- we packed in (or had friends bring over) a food processor, hand held mixer, decent knives and a vegetable peeler. The place had a Vitamix blender and an immersion blender, both of which were a happy surprise. The other happy surprise: A beautiful Christmas tree.
