4.83 out of 5 average rating, 145 reviewsRiverfront Retreat: Hot Tub, Dock, Kayaks, Bikes
Stellar all around. Kelly's communication and instructions were A++. The dock + location on the river is unbeatable. The numerous kayaks and bikes were in perfect condition and the latter made it easy to take a 10 minute ride into Duncan's Mills for just about anything you need. It's also *so* quiet on this section of the river. And the animals! Deer, fox, racoons, herons, hummingbirds, osprey, and don't forget the (slightly skittish) cat that would visit us every night. Overall, there are many elements to this property - multiple buildings, bikes, kayaks, hot tub, lawn, stairs, dock, gate, and more - but all were impeccably explained and maintained so that there was not even the smallest of hiccups. Thank you Kelly for the perfect getaway.

Daniele was awesome to rent from. She was very responsive and friendly to talk with. Her place was everything it said it was. Everything was clean and free of clutter, it felt like a home away from home. We will definitely be back, as a matter of fact, we are already in the planning stage for 2025. I would definitely recommend Daniele’s place if you’re looking to stay in the Keys.

We had a great time at Kim’s place. Perfect for adults and children alike. The house is comfortable with lots of comfortable places to hang out. We spent several hours at the little neighborhood beach swimming and skipping rocks and we even saw an otter which was a huge hit. Just a lovely couple of days away from the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area. Thank you so much.

We had a long weekend at this beautiful property as we were in town for a wedding & to visit family. We all agreed it was the perfect home & felt so comfortable with all the thoughtful amenities. We loved the location & were even able to bike to the local market. The outdoor space was a haven for us & we were impressed with the well stocked kitchen. The furnishings were very clean & comfortable. None of us wanted to leave & would be delighted to stay again

This was one of the best AirBnB stays I've ever had. It was as well appointed as a resort style bed and breakfast but much more comfortable and homey. The bed and linens were lux and comfy. Susan and David, were so sweet and thoughtful that it was like visiting family. The space was perfect for us. Space for swinging dining and charging an e-bike on the porch. lovely spot to take tea by the river. Games, books and puzzles available. They went all out on the food too! Apple Fritters as big as pizzas and delicious bagels with schmeers, yogurt and juice and all sorts of tea (we aren't a coffee drinking group). They were also so kind and friendly to my eight year old son (he talked their ears off) they even let him play with their adorable boxer, Sophie. David helped w/ kayaks and a nice campfire too! We talked about all of the various plants and trees in their yard and he even shared some of his tomatoes, citrus and apples with us. Hope to stay again & get to know them better!

We had a wonderful stay at the house on the river! It was perfect for our family of five, with spacious and comfortable rooms for everyone. The deck overlooking the riverfront was one of our favorite spots, offering peaceful views. We really enjoyed swimming and kayaking down the river (although the water was low in October) and the whole area felt so serene. The location is fantastic – close to downtown with great restaurants, and Safeway is nearby for any grocery needs. We also took a day trip to the coast, which was absolutely amazing. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay, and we’d highly recommend it!

We came back to stay a second time because we loved this location! Right on the river with great kayaks and floaties to borrow. The new deck and stairs are a great addition. Keep in mind this is a vacation rental only- so if you want to cook, it's safest to bring everything you need (including basics like salt, ground coffee, etc.).

We had a great time at Elaine and Jason's lakeside place. Very tranquil and peaceful setting far away from the hustle and bustle. Elaine and Jason were great hosts, very responsive, friendly and down-to-earth. Our son also enjoyed his time there as there were quite a few kids toys and activities to keep him engaged, as also was the house cat Luna :) Would visit again.

We recently stayed at this lake house, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the views of the water. The house itself is beautifully maintained with good sized rooms. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. We loved having morning coffee on the deck while overlooking the serene lake—truly a perfect way to start the day! The outdoor space was fantastic as well, with a well-maintained dock perfect for swimming and kayaking. The location is ideal for those seeking both relaxation and adventure. Our host was incredibly responsive, providing us with great tips for local attractions. Overall, this lake house exceeded all our expectations. We can't wait to return! Thank you for an unforgettable weekend!
Private room in Lakeport
5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsCozy lakefront cottage
Our recent stay at Lynette’s Airbnb in Lakeport was truly delightful. The house was incredibly comfy and spacious, providing a homey atmosphere that made us feel right at ease from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights for us was the separated backyard, which was perfect for our dogs. It allowed them to stretch their legs without having access to the dock, which we greatly appreciated. We also thoroughly enjoyed using the fire pit outside to roast marshmallows and make s’mores. It added a special touch to our evenings and created wonderful memories. However, we did encounter a small issue with the bathroom drain. There was a lot of hair in the drain, which caused the water to pool up to our ankles. My partner had to pull out a clump of hair to get it to drain properly. This was a minor inconvenience but worth mentioning for future guests. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend Lynette’s Airbnb to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming place in Lakeport.

Jason and Elaine’s place is likely our best airbnb experience. The place is a perfect lake house setting with everything you need all made available by the hosts. The boats, kayaks and all the water toys for the kids are highly appreciated. However, what stands out above all are the small things. The place is squeaky clean and the hosts made sure it’s very well stocked. This was a perfect getaway for our small family, we can’t wait to comeback!
Cottage in Jenner
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviewsCozy Meadow Retreat with River Views
We had a great stay at the Waterfall house. The location can't be beaten; it's secluded, the views are great and it is within walking distance from all of the Jenner hot spots :) Baked goods and drinks from Cafe Aquatica were the perfect way to start our mornings. We also had a great time kayaking on the river with the seals! The kitchen was stocked well enough for all of our needs as a group of 5, and the porch and deck spaces were great for hanging out. The sofa bed wasn't super comfortable but it was good enough for our needs. The other beds were all very comfortable and we slept well! The hosts at the Jenner Inn were super responsive and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again!
Cottage in Monte Rio
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviewsSunny Riverfront Cottage
Beautifully decorated and cozy. Kitchen was well stocked with all the tools you would need. This place was perfect for the two of us. 4 people would probably find it a bit inconvenient since you would need to walk through the master bedroom or take an outside route to get to the second bedroom or a bathroom. The dock was a nice place to relax and glad we were there before they pulled it out for the winter. Didn't have a chance to use the kayak that was there which would have been fun. Jenner and Guerneville were an easy drive and fun to explore.

Perfect location! Emily’s place was very clean and comfortable. It has a well equipped kitchen and outdoor space. We enjoyed hanging out on the back patio under the trees. It’s convenient to Russian River Valley wineries and all the small towns in the area. I would highly recommend Emily’s place for those looking in the area.

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 274 reviewsFamily Friendly Modern with Dock
We had such a great day. It was three families all with toddlers and the house was perfectly equipped. We had everything we needed. The views from inside the living/dining room and from the porch were amazing. Even in the summer, the house stayed very cool. The dock was bot accessible to toddlers because of the steep ladder down, but the adults enjoyed taking turns taking the kayaks out.

Thora's place was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for in a quick getaway with the kids. The access to the river is absolutely the best part of the stay since we didn't have to leave the property at all. The water's are calm and the fact that there are umbrellas on the beach, and even a kayak to use, was the icing on the cake. EV charging was key and it made the whole round trip from the city just that much more easy.

This is our first time at Clearlake celebrated our wedding anniversary. This place was cute and amazing! Love that it has a deck, jacuzzi, and kayaks for use! Beautiful view, quiet and calm. The place was just like the photos advertised and clean. Just unfortunate that it rained on our second day so we couldn’t enjoy the weekend as much as we wanted to. Madison was responsive even while she was at her best friend’s wedding!

My family had a wonderful night stay! It’s a gorgeous cabin in a beautiful setting. The patio views were gorgeous looking into the trees and mountain areas. The beds were comfortable and there was a great play space for the kids and pup in the backyard! I imagine it being spectacular during the winter months with snow as well! We had a great time exploring the lake and surrounding areas. Madison was kind, responsive and attentive. Thank you for a great getaway!

Amazing place! Amazing hosts!! Paulette was very welcoming and even allowed us to check in an hour earlier! On our way out we realized we had a flat tire and had some trouble getting it fixed but host was super supportive and even invited us to wait inside until resolved! Place is beautiful so much activities. I do definitely recommend staying for 2+ days as there is so much to do. Great for families!
Cabin in Healdsburg
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 157 reviewsUpdated Russian River Cabin (beach/river access!)
This little cabin was perfect for our girls weekend getaway! It’s literally right on the river so it was very peaceful. It was also easy to get an Uber right to the square. The neighboring house is pretty close but that wasn’t a problem. The beds in the room downstairs are comfy and roomy. It felt a bit like a sleep away camp in the best way possible. You do have to get to the room by going outside and down some stairs. That wasn’t super apparent in the listing but it wasn’t a problem at all. Kitchen was well stocked and the main bathroom was so nice! The main area was a little cobwebby but that made it quaint. Everything was otherwise spotless. Britta was super responsive and gave so much info right upfront. She was also able to accommodate an early checkin on request. Overall loved the place and our stay!
Cabin in Fair Play
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 181 reviewsRiverfront Home-6 Acres/Dog friendly/Games/Kayaks
Being here was like being at our own private camp, except it had all the comforts of home! The cabin was well-equipped and clean, and we were grateful for fans and the A/C on the unseasonably hot October weekend. The property was wonderfully private and peaceful. The grounds were so much fun — love paddling around in the little inlet on the Consumnes, and saw deer and lots of turkeys. We had a blast playing the video game consoles, pool and board games, and definitely enjoyed that fabulous hot tub. It was perfect for our small birthday BBQ. Our pup loved it, and it would be a dream to bring kids here. We hope to be back sometime!
