Recent Northern California vacation rental reviews

Spacious, friendly, very clean easy access, beautiful veiw and very quiet
Jody B. | Jun 2026
Very private location with spacious rooms. Loved sitting in the hot tub each evening looking out at the sunset over the freshwater lagoon and Pacific Ocean. Be aware that there is a narrow, winding road to get to the home, but it is worth the drive!
Beth C. | Jun 2026
We loved the open living area and very comfortable furniture. Loved the dock and hammock

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. Come see why the Golden State is one of the most popular destinations in the world, and book today.
