Recent Northern California vacation rental reviews

This was my second time staying at this condo, and I absolutely love it! It's a cozy, comfortable mountain retreat and a wonderful place to unwind after a day of exploring Mammoth Lakes and the surrounding Eastern Sierra. The location is fantastic! It's conveniently close to grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and all the outdoor adventures the area has to offer. Whether you're spending the day fishing, hiking, sightseeing, or exploring Yosemite, it's a great home base. The property also offers some wonderful recreational amenities, including a pool table, ping-pong, swimming pool, and Jacuzzi. During this visit, with no snow on the ground, I even discovered that there are pickleball courts! It's nice to have these additional options for entertainment and relaxation when you're not out exploring the mountains. This is a cozy mountain condo rather than a high-end luxury resort, and that's part of its charm! It has a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in and feel at home. I enjoy cooking some of my meals while visiting, so I bring a few of my own kitchen essentials, including a favorite pan, utensils, and spices. One of my absolute favorite features is the enclosed wood-burning fireplace! There's something wonderful about returning after a day in the mountains, lighting a fire, wrapping up in a cozy blanket, and enjoying a relaxing evening watching movies or crocheting. I've now stayed here for both a family vacation and a solo getaway, and it's been a wonderful experience each time. It's the perfect place to enjoy the beauty and adventures of Mammoth while still having a comfortable, peaceful place to come home to. I would happily 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.
