Recent Northern California vacation rental reviews

We had a lovely stay during Thanksgiving week. It was our first time in Mammoth and we wanted to be close to the Village and gondola. Unfortunately, since it was so early in the season, gondola was closed. Condo was tastefully furnished and the kitchen has everything you need. Kitchen and bathrooms are dated, but very well maintained and clean! Condo has great natural light upstairs in the living area and it has a beautiful mountain view out the windows. Beds are comfortable. Thank you so much for sharing your home, we will definitely would love to stay here again!

Our family has been celebrating Thanksgiving at Sea Ranch for the past 39 years and we have rented many different homes. This was the first time to try this home and we very much enjoyed our stay! The view/sound of the ocean from the back deck was surprisingly lovely with gorgeous sunsets. Being surrounded by trees and fields of nature was serene. The interior of the home was clean, pleasant and usable. We wish there had been a garbage disposal and a better-equipped kitchen. The mini split heater did a great job of heating the upstairs (leave the bedroom doors open to allow the heated air to enter) and, given time, also heated the main living areas downstairs. However, the master bedroom downstairs remained unheated so bring warm pajamas and extra blankets if you stay in the colder months. The space heaters in both bathrooms and heated toilet seats were a fun surprise that made the bathrooms extra warm. We tried to use the TV and could not get service. The house was quiet and relaxing and access to the pathways through the redwood forest was a quick drive away. We would definitely stay here 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.
