Chalet vacation rentals in Central California

what a wonderful stay! we got snowed in the first day, but the hosts were very helpful in letting us know about street plowing, etc. They were very responsive about any questions. The place itself is wonderfully appointed, and easy access to Dodge Ridge, Leland Snowolay, Twain Harte, and Sugar Shack. 😁

Beautiful home with a gorgeous location. Loved the openness, kitchen and decks.

Everything was great. No issues with our stay

The house is in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to the beach, a few restaurants and ice cream. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was great for us (we like to cook all our meals when we travel). The attached ADU didn’t impact our stay at all. The house is very private. Parking was off street, easy check in. We had everything we needed.

We had a great time during our 2 night stay at this cabin. My friends and I were pleased with the state of the house - the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The furniture may not have been the most comfy or modern, but it was homey. And it was nice to be not be stressed about pristine furniture with our 2 dogs hanging out. This was one of the best sized hot tubs I've seen at an airbnb, 4 sturdy sized adults fit in it with plenty of elbow room. We ended up getting a little snowed in so we didn't get to go out much beyond the surrounding yard, but there were a couple charming bars in the area, and some cute restaurants in the nearby town. Would absolutely come back to explore, wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It was an unforgettable experience, especially for my mom, who saw wild deer for the first time. The house had everything we needed to enjoy a unique and special family time, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. I will definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

What a fantastic place. They really bend over backwards to make folks feel taken care of and welcomed. We rented out a few rooms to fit everyone for a family trip and everyone enjoyed their stay. So convenient to all the are has to offer too. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Victoria’s house! The house is spacious, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It was easy to find, and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful—only about 30 minutes from Bear Valley, and just 10 minutes to the main grocery store. Communication with Victoria was seamless; everything was clearly outlined in her messages, so we didn’t need much interaction. We had a relaxing and enjoyable time, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Our group of 3 families with kids loved Cindy and Kevin's home. We honestly couldn't find any reason why we wouldn't return and hopefully make this an annual trip. They have so many thoughtful amenities and necessities laid out across multiple bedrooms and floors, which gives lots of space for the different generations. Most importantly for peaceful relaxation in nature, they have a beautiful view from their balcony.

Base Camp is a gem! Tucked away in the woods, you can enjoy quality time with company, share meals cooked in the beautiful kitchen, and enjoy all the outdoor splendor. The EV charger was also a huge plus, we were able to explore more of town and shop around knowing we could charge up once we were back.

This house is an absolute gem! It’s so cool, fantastic environment, beautifully decorated with everything you’ll need. It’s smack in the middle of amazing redwood trees, walkable to town and close to so many activities. The hosts are equally great, so friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing. Our kids are already asking when we can go back!

We had a great stay. The place was spotless, kid-friendly, and close to Yosemite’s main attractions. All the amenities were as described, including a well-stocked kitchen. Scott, our host, was friendly and responsive. Highly recommend the place.

We had an amazing time with family. Chelsea was an amazing host! We will definitely stay here again! Kids had so much fun! Perfect vacation!

Natalie’s place is amazing. With beautiful views, it served as our home base to relax while visiting Yosemite. We found it clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to maximize quality time with our family. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to visit the park.

Well worth every penny! Cloud’s Rest was a true home away from home and exactly what we were looking for to bring our family together in Yosemite for Thanksgiving (and my husband’s 60th). The location, just 15 minutes from Bridalveil trail and the valley floor, can’t be beat (without traffic-we did experience quite a bit of traffic on Black Friday, where it took closer to 30). But the real showstopper was the “cabin” itself - Grand Lodge would be a better description! Equal to the task of combining luxury, privacy and comfort with the beauty, grandeur and rugged wilderness of Yosemite. As a frequent Airbnb traveler, I was genuinely impressed by the high level of hospitality and amenities provided… I certainly didn’t expect such a well stocked kitchen that we could have prepared the full Thanksgiving feast without bringing a thing. My only hesitation in this glowing recommendation is that it’ll become so popular, we won’t be able to secure a reservation for our nest visit! 😅 👍🏻👍🏻?

Very nice and clean also. Everything you needed in the kitchen which made it convenient. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

2nd stay this year and another amazing experience. It had snowed pretty heavy earlier in the week and the driveway had been plowed and clear for arrival. There is nothing that hasn’t been thought of with this cabin! Just show up, bring some food and enjoy. A whole family favorite for sure.

This is a spacious cabin in a beautiful spot. We loved being surrounded by snow. It did take 24 hours to warm up though the loft was always very warm. The beds were super comfy - they even had flannels sheets. Lots of room for everyone.

Absolutely unforgettable stay at Jen’s place in Arnold! From the moment we arrived at the W, we were blown away by how gorgeous and peaceful everything was. Jen was an incredible host—super responsive, thoughtful, and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. The space was cozy, clean, and had that perfect mountain vibe that made it feel like a dream getaway. We made so many amazing memories here—late-night laughs, morning coffee with stunning views, and moments we’ll never forget. You can really tell Jen puts her heart into making this a special experience for her guests. Highly, highly recommend staying here if you want a 5-star escape in the mountains. We’re already planning our next trip back!

we loved our stay at Dominique's place. It was very conveniently located. A few mins to restaurants , rec center and the lake. The place itself was so fun!! We enjoyed the game room quite a lot. Would recommend to anyone visiting Arnold!
