Family-friendly vacation rentals in Alta Sierra

Very nice house to stay, lots of space for a 10 family members, spacious kitchen with all basic items, lots of Privacy for couples. We were in the house for the weekend to attend to a family wedding, we really really enjoyed and liked the house, it's located very close to the city center, it is close to the church and reception hall was also very close by. I highly recomend this place for people to stay in. Other than that Catherine the host was very helpful and also very flexible with our needs.

This property is a literal slice of heaven. It's so peaceful and magical and feels worlds away when only being a few minutes to town. The house was one of the most comfortable airbnbs we have stayed in – and we have stayed in many! Our whole family enjoyed it. Great for adults, kids and lots of room for your dog run and explore. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Drue & Rene’s cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway with my partner. The cottage was so cute, cozy, and charming and exactly as pictured - we enjoyed the hot tub, grabbing yummy food at fudenjuice in town, and going for a walk. The property was so peaceful and quiet, and we will definitely be back ! :)

Gil's Grass Valley home is PERFECTION. Truly a character home with magic in every corner: a creek in the backyard, badminton, ping pong, hot tub, huge projector for TV, lot's of comfortable bedrooms, and a rope swing in the kitchen! We had a great month staying at this home and enjoyed the quick walk into Grass Valley, and amazing proximity to Nevada City. It comfortably accommodates guests and feels spacious. Thank you so much Gil and Family for a great month :) We can't wait to visit again!

I knew the house would be rustic, so I brought my camping gear. I did not need them. The kitchen was well equipt. I could cook anything I needed to make on the hot plate or in the microwave/toaster. There was also a smoker and like 5 BBQs. Do not be worried about cooking. The location is awesome. It is so close to so many things.. or you can just hang out on the property. We spent a day on the property and a day exploring. We spent every night in the hot tub. It was glorious. The bed is very comfortable!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Memorial Day weekend at Willow's place. The amenities were perfect for our stay with plenty of space for us all to feel comfortable. The bedrooms were spacious, we enjoyed eating meals in the lovely dining area, as well as barbecuing and eating dinner outdoors under the gazebo. We even found an opportunity to take a soak in the hot tub. The location was desirable - close to several restaurants and stores. While in the area, members of our party enjoyed rafting down the American River, hiking to the waterfall in Sly Park, wine tasting, golfing, lunch at a brewery in Placerville, and take-out from the nearby pizza place which was actually quite tasty. We also appreciated the excellent communication between the host. We'd love to go back in the future - Pollack Pines has so much to see and do and Willow's place has all the comforts anyone could ever ask for!

This was one of the nicest Airbnbs we’ve stayed in. Peggy was great & her unit, though small, was uncluttered , very comfortable & very well stocked. The crowning feature was the lovely, peaceful & cool backyard. Our 4 year old granddaughter lived visiting

What a paradise this place is! So peaceful and idyllic. The sauna and hot tub area was the highlight of the stay. And we loved getting body treatments from Shari and Mia!

Great stay! Super spacious super private. They are great hosts. Always a pleasure booking with them.

We really liked this place. Rural, very scenic. The cabin is very well constructed and well maintained. Nice step-in shower. Good kitchen. Bring food. There aren’t many dining choices nearby. The trading post at Dutch Flat is surprisingly well stocked, which is a good thing because the mini-mart/gas station at the Dutch Flat off ramp is the only other place around to get provisions.

Just stayed at this beautiful AirBnB cabin—absolutely stunning! The host has amazing taste in decor, and every detail is thoughtfully planned, from cooking equipment to outdoor candles for keeping bugs away. The breathtaking view and cozy outdoor deck made it easy to relax and count the stars. Plus, the host even provides a self-made handbook with local guides and dog-friendly trail information, which was a big plus for us. Truly a perfect stay!

Paula’s place is great! It’s really nice and the pictures don’t do it justice. The serene landscape, farm animals, and sweet antique decor make it feel like an escape to grandmas house! Complete with a sweet snack upon arrival.

This country cottage is centrally located in a peaceful location at the end of a private road. With access to the wine and ale trail as well as the venue for concerts and a farmers market down the road, there was lots to do. We loved the creek and welcoming touches the hosts provided and appreciated their friendly and prompt communication as well as accommodating an earlier check in for us. Thanks for a wonderful and relaxing stay at your property.

Kathryn’s cabin was perfect for our little family. It was great to hang out and swim in the lake with the kid and the dogs. I woke up early and swam and canoed before every else got up. We went to a nearby grocery outlet and picked up some steaks and charcoal and grilled on the porch. Kathryn even came by and asked us if we needed anything from town. She was making a pie for her grandkids which makes her very cool in my book. Just as we were checking out a bear cub shimmied down a tree. Two days without internet was a real blessing, but there is a tv and the kid got to watch tom and Jerry cartoons Saturday morning. If you’re expecting a tech yuppy place probably not for you. Also almost no poison oak, it’s there, but not bad. That stuff can really ruin a summer.

The house was perfect for our annual get-together with our friends. The house was very clean. Kitchen amenities were plentiful. Loved the nice easy trail by the house! Nevada City has lots to offer and it's a very short drive from the house. If/when we decide to go back to Nevada City, we'll come back to the house!

We were so happy with Cottage #2. It was cute and cozy and well equipped. The hosts were responsive and pro-active in communicating. Being able to sit on the deck and enjoy watching the river activities and also being able to hear the river at night was magical. We wish we had booked another night. We will be back anytime we come to Placerville area again. Thank you.

We had a fabulous time and the back yard / pool area was a perfect setting for my large bachelorette. It seemed the host was anxious about having a group our size (23 women) yet did not list anywhere a maximum number of guests on the listing. It seemed we earned their trust through the stay though. Initially it felt awkward to have to text the host for things like turning on the hot tub or outdoor lights or pool slide, but they were pretty fast in response time and it ended up feeling pretty easy. Wish the kitchen would have had more kitchen towels, seems maybe not set up for full on dinner party use - but they did bring trash bags and replace the outside grill upon our request, which was impressive. Overall a positive experience! The grotto was lots of fun - we never left the property all weekend.

We had an amazing experience at the cabin. The views were breath taking and it truly made for a relaxing weekend. It was very kid friendly and there was so much to do related to being outdoors. The hosts were very accommodating. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

Prior to check in all the way through check out, Christian was an extremely communicative host. I really appreciate that there were very clear instructions for everything. Some of us were flying in from out of state and Christian was very accommodating with an early check in. This place is huge and spaciously laid out. We hosted dinner for 12 people multiple nights and with so much space, we never felt like we were on top of each other. Our group spent a ton of time outside-enjoying the relaxing pool and lounging area. The property is maintained and beautiful. We had 3 kids with us who were obsessed with this house! Christian has so much for the kids to do that they never got bored. Seriously - between the cinema room upstairs, pool, water slide, sports outside, foosball, there was never a dull moment which is really saying something for kids! I’d stay here again when I’m in town in a heartbeat. Thank you Christian and your family for the wonderful stay, we sincerely appreciate it

We recently stayed at Don and Kathy’s beautiful home for our son’s wedding weekend and it was absolutely magical. Don and Kathy were incredibly hospitable, always easy to reach, and made us feel so welcome. The home itself is stunning—truly something to experience. The home is well-appointed and thoughtfully designed, offering both comfort and style for a truly relaxing stay. The surroundings felt straight out of a Hallmark movie, with autumn leaves falling and twinkling Christmas lights creating a festive atmosphere. It was cozy, inviting, and felt just like home. We can't wait to come back and stay here again! Thank you, Don and Kathy, for making our special weekend even more memorable!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful property! There was plenty of space for our entire wedding party, and it was spotless when we arrived. Kathleen was an incredible host — so helpful, responsive, and flexible throughout the whole process, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The property itself is truly unique, with so many interesting historical decorations that gave it so much charm and character. We also loved taking advantage of all the activities available on-site, which made for an unforgettable experience. All our guests raved about the layout of the space and how much they enjoyed their time there. Highly recommend this Airbnb — it was the perfect setting for such a special occasion!

This place is perfect. I’ve stayed before and can’t wait to stay again. Close to Lake Tahoe, truckee and lots of hiking and beautiful spots right in the vicinity. It’s exactly what you’d want and imagine for a cabin in the mountains. Can’t recommend it enough and just so thankful to be able to stay in this amazing place!

We had a awesome time, our host provided great communication and the house was exactly what we hoped for. The weather was hot and the pool was the perfect, AC was cold for when we couldn't be in the pool. Fun to play pool, chess, cards and watch movies in the theatre room. Great kitchen with everything you need. Thank you for having us.

Wonderful hosts and beautiful private property
