Recent Northern California vacation rental reviews

It's the best stay you'll have at Sea Ranch. Very modern in design and beautiful coastal views. Just book it!
Ashley Z. | Dec 2025
A cozy getaway amidst the redwoods, and a short drive to the ocean. Perfect for a relaxing weekend by the coast.
LINNEA P. | Dec 2025
Walking distance to North Tahoe Truckee Regional Park with trails, pickleball, par course, giant kids playground, and even a high-ropes adventure course. Beaches and Safeway groceries seven minutes away, casinos 15 minutes. Didn’t get to try hot tub, and make sure you read all emails and texts regarding rental. Like others have said, the living room floor in front of the fireplace is buckled up probably due to the heat; hopefully they make simple repairs or throw an area rug over loose wood slats.

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.

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.
