Sea Otter Cottage in Santa Cruz!

AllisonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our family of four, loved Shari’s place and we’d definitely stay again. It’s one of those good-vibes Airbnbs where you can tell a lot of love goes into the setup and maintenance. We loved the hot tub for relaxing together — under a beautiful magnolia tree — and my partner and I were able to take a couple work calls in privacy in the spotless studio. Also, everything just works … coffee works, all the TVs were easy to use, and it was easy to get in and out. Thank you for a great stay Shari!

Story-Book Cottage in the Heart of Wine Country

HarryRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is a charming place, beautifully kept with lovely furnishings. We really enjoyed the well appointed kitchen as we cooked every day. The yard and gardens are beautifully kept, peaceful and serene. Oranges growing right outside the house! We were in town for a wedding, and Santa Rosa is right in the middle of so many enjoyable things to do. We hiked on the CCT out past Bodega Bay, enjoyed restaurants in Healdsburg, visited the redwoods and shopped at the Barlow in Sebastopol. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your lovely home. We had a fabulous time!

Napa Wine Country Retreat - Villa

MeredithRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This home is absolutely beautiful! The outside is gorgeous and relaxing. The outdoor patio and hot tub are amazing! The location is also fabulous. We went to the Bothe-Napa state park and the Castello di Amorosa both of which were only 15min away as is downtown Calistoga which is really cute. We really enjoyed our stay!! The only slightly problematic feature is the toilet, it doesn’t really work.

Sandstone Cottage - near Yosemite, Bass Lake

ChristineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a wonderful stay at Griffin's place during our Yosemite trip. The home was spacious, clean and had everything we needed to unwind after a long day of hiking. They views and outdoor features make this place a standout. We wanted to use the outside spaces more, but mother nature had other plans. The hot tub being under cover was a bonus to shield from the rain. We had very few needs during our stay, but our questions were answered promptly. I loved the app feature that gave instructions, local recommendations, etc. It was easy to access particularly when we were out for the day. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again should we find ourselves back in the area.

SummerRating, 5 stars1 day ago
This sweet cottage was more magical than we even expected! We were surprised by all of the thoughtful touches, the decor, excellent cooking utensils, coffee, snacks, and so much more. It felt like we were staying in a secret tree house and the patio created the most calming space for outdoor meals and relaxing. The location was quiet, very convenient and just the right size for two. We can't wait to come back and enjoy this space again!

Last airbnb host canceled on us at the last minute and Stephanie was willing to welcome us and told us to come at any time, which was very important because otherwise we won’t have a place to stay for that night. I really appreciate it. The place is cute and clean, very comfortable to live there. Highly recommended.

Bright & Beautiful Cottage

AlysaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I literally couldn’t have asked for more. They were so responsive and helpful with anything we may need. I stayed here for a month for surgery and didn’t want to leave when the month was over. The tiny house was clean and exactly what I wanted and needed for my recovery. Close to everything I needed and wanted to get to. All the light and fresh air you can ask for. Recommendations for food and stores. Visits from their amazing dog!! I wouldn’t change a thing! What an amazing host, family, city, and tiny home. I will definitely be back.

Creekside cabin in Redwoods w/modern interior

KathleenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Comfortable, quiet retreat in a beautiful location! We loved the majestic redwoods and driving through the surrounding valley in the springtime. In the area, we visited Point Reyes to whale watch and see elephant seals, took in the view of the Golden Gate Bridge at the overlook, and enjoyed sunsets over the Pacific.
