Recent Northern California vacation rental reviews

The house is beautiful and lays out nicely. It has lovely ocean and meadow views which can be enjoyed from the big widows in the living area and master bedroom. The beds are comfortable and there is a bunk room which is perfect for children. One night was very clear and we enjoyed stargazing from the hot tub. The location was perfect for hiking along the bluff but access to the beach is not close by. We always enjoy the serenity of Sea Ranch and would definitely rent this house again.

Our favorite spots to visit in Northern California

Water lovers will love staying almost anywhere in NorCal, especially since we offer oceanfront, lakefront, and riverfront Northern California vacation rentals. One of the best places to stay for an outdoor adventure on the water is the world famous Lake Tahoe. Not only does the second largest lake in the state offer great fishing, boating, and kayaking experiences, but those who prefer to stay on land can enjoy fantastic hiking excursions in the summer, and world-class skiing in wintertime.

We’re also huge fans of the forests and mountains that cover the Sierra Nevada area, offering plenty to savor for lovers of the outdoors. Home to Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite, among other famous locations, visitors to the region can enjoy one of our many cabin rentals surrounded by nature.

If you’re in the mood for a beach getaway, we have vacation rentals all along the Northern California coast as well, from Mendocino and Fort Bragg to Santa Rosa. Visitors to this area can explore historic towns and award-winning restaurants, all while being steps from miles of sandy beaches.
