Recent Northern California vacation rental reviews

This place was a great find! The main house bathrooms haven’t been renovated like the studio bathroom, but they weren’t awful. The tub in the main house did drain a little slowly, so water would back up into the tub during showers. The view is absolutely stunning and they did a beautiful job with the outdoor patio! Overall, I would recommend this place and hope to stay here again next time we visit!

We enjoyed the stay, will stay here again for sure
Kateryna S. | Dec 2025
The home was clean and nice. The kitchen was big and easy to work in but needed some basic tools: for example, better pans and serving spoons.

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.

With such a variety of locations and attractions to offer, Northern California is a great place to visit for every kind of traveller. Vacasa can help you find the Northern California vacation rental that will make your traveling experience unique and memorable.
