Hart Flat Hacienda Ranch Retreat with Pool & Hot Tub
This was the second time my family and I stayed here. We love the pool, the spacious patio, and secluded location. We had a little issue but Nikki and the property manager Karen did everything in their power to resolve and fix things and they did. Karen was very responsive and helpful. Always a great place to stay.

Yadi’s house
We used the house as a spacer stay between Sequoia and Yosemite N.P. visits. It was nice to relax a little between the two parks by grilling and chilling at the pool. The house was perfect for this. The pool was immaculate, although a little chillier than we expected for mid-June. The house was very clean and provided all that we needed for our stay. It was a bonus to be able to use the garage to park our vehicle and keep it out of the hot sun.

Beautiful home w/Pool close to National Parks.
Gorgeous, spacious home with a large backyard to enjoy the pool and barbecue area. Everything was very clean, has all the essentials one might need. Location was very convenient and in a safe, walkable area. My trip was short but I would absolutely stay again and recommend this house to anyone.

Private Pool Villa for family getaways
We had a wonderful time during our recent stay at Sean's place. The house is so spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the large kitchen; it never felt crowded, even with a few of us in there at once. We also really appreciated how well-equipped the kitchen was with all the pots, pans, plates, and other essentials we needed. Our kids absolutely adored the pool area! It was beautiful and private, and they had so much fun with the basketball hoop. They also loved watching the hummingbirds at the backyard water fountain and the rabbits hopping around in the garden. Overall, we had an amazing stay. Thanks for hosting us!

VACATiON in Paradise is Real @ Sequoia Alta Vista
The bnb looked just like the photos, beautiful views all around. The host was very responsive and checked in throughout the stay to make sure everything was going well. My group had a great time!

Modern Home W/ Pool & Game Room and More!
Emilio’s place is exactly as pictured!! Super clean and very welcoming, one that I would love to come back to. Emilio was easy to communicate with and very responsive to any of our concerns. Beautiful home and plenty of space for our family of 10!

Sunset House - Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room & Fire Pit
Adrienne and Jonathan were very responsive. The house, the pool and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Adrienne and Jonathan for hosting us.

Stargaze Retreat: Hot Tub, Game room
Really nice place—private, peaceful, and exactly as described. About an hour from Yosemite, which made it a great base for our trip. The space was clean and well-equipped, and the host was responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

River's Edge Cottage Kernville Suite Fireplace
Staying at the River's Edge cottage was an absolute gem! Carol and Rod have done a wonderful job making it beautiful and relaxing experience. The attention to detail is unmatched. The outside terraces and river access makes the stay at the River's Edge the best! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and even caught TWO rainbow trout from the balcony! Thank you for such a fun weekend and we can't wait to come back here again!

Entire Hobby Farm, Surrounded by Vineyards
This was our second visit to Lee Ann’s home. This time we were able to appreciate the lush summer vineyards, afternoon breezes, and even picked a few apricots. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views and the peace and quiet of the countryside.

Tomales Bay: Tranquility, Bay Views, Kayaks &
This was our second stay at BayMod, and we're already excited to come back again. It's a stunning location, right on the bay, with kayaks and all the accessories you'd need (like lifejackets in many sizes). We saw seals, bat rays, and lots of other wildlife when we went out in the morning. We love going to Nick's Cove for lunch and outdoor games (you could even kayak there), to Route One Bakery for breakfast and coffee, and down to Point Reyes Station for shops, restaurants, and groceries. The house is impeccably organized (the most well-organized Airbnb I've ever seen) with helpful instructions and just everything you might think of. Example: lying on the couch looking out the window and feeling a bit cold? There is a bin of throw blankets within arm's reach. Trying to see what's on Hog Island right now? There are binoculars, plus a powerful monocular with a phone mount. This thoughtfulness extends to all aspects of the house. It's beautiful, clean, and cozy. Thank you Deb!

New Clean Modern Home Inside Yosemite Park Gates.
Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful, new, modern lodging only 30 min from yosemite valley. We cook a lot and appreciated the nice appliances, vent hood, bbq, and high end pots, pans and coffee maker. Owner reached out proactively to suggest earlier arrival on a busy weekend which changed our plans and made arrival quicker. Great communications throughout.

Big Sur Dream Home
Mary’s spot in Big Sur is absolutely amazing! There is something magical about Big Sur, and Mary manages to capture and harness that energy in her space- beautifully decorated, but also perfectly functional- from the well equipped kitchen to the hot tub, wood stove, and sleeping arrangements- no detail is overlooked. I look forward to returning whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Rock Cottage, 10 min from park
I loved the clean kitchen, which was well-stocked with utensils and tools. The yoga room had a peaceful atmosphere and was beautifully decorated—perfect for a morning yoga session. Joyce also recommended a nearby grocery store, which made it convenient for us to shop for food in the evenings and prepare our daily meals. I would definitely recommend this place for couples looking for a cozy and well-equipped place to stay.

Perfect Hideaway in Carmel Valley Hills
The home was so beautiful, it felt like we were transported to somewhere far!! The hosts were very accommodating and there are so many extra cherry-on-top touches that made the stay so lovely. I would definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance!

Center Ave in downtown Visalia.
We had a great stay at this cozy and beautifully decorated home in Visalia! Everything was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for our trips to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. We did run into a minor issue with the shower water temperature, but the host responded right away and had it fixed the same day. We really appreciated the prompt communication. Would definitely stay here again!

Hobbit House at Collins Creek
We had such a great stay at the Hobbit House! The house was super cute and clean and the grounds were lovely to meander through. The stream was a great place to hang out with our coffee and read. We had a little trouble with our code working, but Kaci was super responsive and resolved it quickly. I’d also say that something to note is that the only bedroom that’s fully enclosed is the one with the pullout couch downstairs - the two main ones upstairs have doors but are open otherwise. The pictures in the listing absolutely show it, but I didn’t realize what I was looking at before being there (I thought the one was a mirror). It was not a problem for us and our friend group was fine, but if not everyone in your group goes to bed at the same time there’s really nowhere folks can split off to, it’s just basically all one open area. But it’s a lovely and fun open area! Keeping in mind for future trips to Sequoia and Kings!!

Hot Tub | King Bed | Coffee Bar | Walk to town!
I can't say enough great stuff about this place. The stay was wonderful! The stay is off the main road and super accessible to all thats around. If you are going to Yosemite like my partner and I did, this is a great home base that isn't too far from the park. You get great cell service in the area and they offer wifi. Kyle and his team go above and beyond to check in and make sure you are doing okay. Everything was self check-in and easy to follow. I'd suggest to save the route to the airbnb when getting there, just in case of loss of service. The vibe of the home makes you feel comfortable, its clean, everything in the pictures are there and the hot tub and fire pit is the best feature! Thank you guys so much for letting us into your home!!

Oceanfront Home in Pacifica, CA
Airy, comfortable and immaculate place. Watched surfers, seals, whales and birds everyday.

New! Hobbit House @ Yosemite w/spa/firepit/more!
We found the Hobbit House to be the perfect complement to our Yosemite trip, and it was wonderful to retire at the end of a day of hiking. The outdoor firepit and spa were exactly what we needed. The house is charming and unique in every way! Loved all the LOTR details. Check out the small pocketbooks of American authors in the upstairs loft- the Mark Twain edition opens with a story about Yosemite! We were a party of 3 which worked well, although it made the hot tub a lil' cozy. Depending on how you travel, this might be more of a 2-person place for some, but our motto is "The more, the partier!" so we were just fine. 😊 Lots of animals at the neighbors which were fun to see, and its about a 10-15 minute walk to town. Highly recommend!

A Stunning River Retreat ~ pool * hot tub * sauna
A gem in the river. The property is expensive and it has all the amenities you could ask for... pool, spa, great seating, fire pit, and all right on the river. it felt very private even though we knew there were other properties around us, you just couldn't tell. Our host was very helpful and recommended a local rafting guide that was phenomenal! The beds and pillows were also very cozy. We will be sure to come back the next time we visit Three Rivers.

Zen House w/ King beds, Mountain Views & Hot tub
What an incredible view, both daytime and night. Hot tub amongst the stars were awesome. We stayed here to visit Yosemite. It is 45 minutes away, but it was worth it to have a nice private place with a view, far away from other humans. Would highly recommend.

Yosemite A-Frame HotTub Bocce
This was the perfect location for our group. The location was gorgeous, the house was perfect for us, and the amenities were wonderful. We had a group of kids, adults and seniors with us and it was the perfect place. Jeremy was very responsive and made sure that our stay was the perfect peaceful getaway that we had hoped for. Can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to be here.

The Epic Views A-Frame
Absolutely loved our stay in the Aframe house. It was more than we expected. Beautiful views & perfect place to stay for sequoia national park. The only thing I regret is not staying longer! Highly recommend
