Recent Northern California vacation rental reviews

We had the best time staying at this property. Fantastic communication throughout our entire visit. Bonus points for the ponies nearby and gorgeous views. The place was just like home.
Karen W. | Aug 2026
My family and I were blown away with this home! It had all the amenities we were wanting and more! The cabin feel, the view of the lake and the walking distance to the shopping center are unmatched! We would definitely stay here again.

Here’s a warm, genuine VRBO review you could post: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We originally booked this beautiful home for two nights, but after our first night, we immediately extended our stay because we didn’t want to leave! The house was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The secluded setting near Bass Lake was peaceful and relaxing, yet it was still close enough to enjoy all the local attractions. We especially loved spending time on the spacious patio and deck, and the home was well-equipped for our family. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the entire property felt welcoming and well cared for. This was exactly the relaxing getaway we were hoping for. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape near Bass Lake!

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.
