Earth house vacation rentals in Northern California

Incredibly kind hosts. The place and the view was phenomenal besides that they were extremely kind and also I had such a killer breakfast! Great spot, would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a place in that area. Beautiful scenery, kind people, it was such a great time.

My friend and I stayed here for a spiritual getaway and it was the perfect place for it! We loved the view of Shasta and enjoyed the energy here. Happily recommend this place!

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend staying at Karin's incredible Danish-style abode. She was so welcoming and warm upon arrival, and was incredibly accomodating to our adjusted arrival time of 10pm! Anything we could possibly need, Karin had on hand and was always there for us. Waking up to fresh coffee and organic yogurt bowls made us feel like we were staying at a 5 star resort. And echoing everyone else - Karin's omlettes are second to none!! The property itself is also so stunnning, and it truly feels like you're miles away from busy San Francisco. Karin also gave us a fantastic tour of the area on her ATV, including her baby chickens and beautiful free-roaming horses! Whether you're looking for a quick getaway like us, or are interested in staying for a full week's time, I can't recommend Karin's one of a kind home enough. We're looking forward to our next stay!

We had a great stay in the Hobbit Hut. :) The earthen home is cozy and stays very cool during the day and comfortable at night-- I would compare it to glamping. There is a nice private area outside with chairs and picnic tables that is shared with the Gingerbread Hut. There is a bathroom a short walk away and shower facilities in the main lodge. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the retreat center grounds and visiting the temple and exotic birds. A very unique place, ideal for rest and reflection.

Catalina and Javier were very friendly and kind to let me stay with them.

In short, the Hobbit house was amazing. I do like to make note that there were various places with spider webs that were visually unpleasant, inbetween the door slider to the balcony, on the way to the little sauna-like room accessible in the bathroom of the main bedroom, or the fireplace that is clearly never used. These are nitpicks that dings a bit but nothing to undermine how great this place is. There are many special places I've stayed and this is one of the few that I would actually mean it when i say I'll be back.

They were responsive. Place was lovely. Surrounded by nature and quiet. Its a great place if you just want to get away for a bit.

This place is a gem. It's about 20 minutes off 101 on mostly well-graded gravel roads, in a beautiful, remote area. Nathan greeted me as I drove up and was super helpful. The yurt was down a well-maintained trail (lots of stairs), in it's own little private area near a stream. The yurt was spotless and extremely well provisioned. Thoughtful touches everywhere - including fluffy comforters, coffee beans and a grinder, and a small refrigerator. If you can handle the lack of indoor plumbing, and, like me, you enjoy being off the grid now and then, you'll be fine. The outdoor shower was large, clean, and awesome, I felt like a nymph bathing in the woods. And that's only the beginning - the property is really spectacular, especially the tree house. Bring a book and stay for the afternoon. Lots of deer and rabbits around; you can awaken to birdsong. After a couple of nights, I felt refreshed, rested, clear headed. I hope to be back.

peaceful and secluded, we all felt so at home and comfortable. we walked around to the pond, swung on the swings, cooked in the huge kitchen, bathed in the amazing bathtub. it was truly an amazing experience, and Lisa, the host, was responsive and friendly, she accommodated us multiple times along with always checking in and making sure we got to the airbnb safely, as well as checking out. overall, an amazing experience and super close to everything there is to do in the small town.

The place was really beautiful and peaceful. Though it becomes a little scary at night with narrow roads and complete dark but the instructions provided by the host were very detailed and clear and the place is worth it. It was clean and had all the amenities. We could also spot deers right outside the windows. Would definitely recommend.

Incredible location/view, and the house is really beautiful, luxurious, and its obvious someone put a lot of thought and care into the craftsmanship of the small details. We really appreciated both the extra features like the pizza oven, sauna, hot-tub, etc., and the well equipped kitchen that seemed to have everything we needed to feel at home.

This is our third stay, and always a special one!! The land will envelope you with peace and beauty, and Lael’s hospitality is full of friendliness and warmth. The creativity put into this incredible Tolkien Hobbit world that he and his wife designed is an absolutely stunning experience. It’s done so well that you have all the conveniences of the modern world along with all the magic and lore of another world all together. Not to be missed! We ordered the “shire-cuterie” board again, which is an incredible spread of deliciousness. Their complimentary home made breakfasts are something we always look forward to as well, absolutely five star. And their welcoming of our doggies is much appreciated. It’s quiet, private and such a cozy escape that we always look forward to. Until next time! Thank you, Lael and family.
