Holiday rentals with lake access in Central California

We had such an amazing time here, you can really tell the owners put a lot of care into making this place a home away from home. Had everything we needed and more. Coming from a three day backpacking trip in Yosemite this was a much needed break. Breakfast and relaxing on the deck in the sun by the water listening to the birds, we were even surprised by 5 or 6 deer in the front yard the last morning, it was awesome. The house was very nice, had enough space for myself and eight friends, ample towels and bedding, all the cookware and supplies you could ask for, AC and heaters, they even had three boats we used to go fishing for a few hours in the morning. The lake was awesome, the ONLY negative here is the $50 entrance fee to the Pine Mountain Lake neighborhood. They do have amenities in PML that help make that worth it and the pass is for 7 days, but we didn’t have time to go check those out, oh well. Altogether this place was unforgettable and my friends and I can’t wait to come back!

The rock theme of the house was really cool. The landscaping of the house and the views were amazing. The bed was very comfortable, and there was a great view of the lake from the shower, very aesthetic. Clear and easy instructions for check in and check out. I love the huge DVD collection, lots of classics. And of course, the lake was so pretty and we had a blast kayaking. Overall beautiful location and we had a great stay!

Very nice area and house right on the lake. Our Grandson and daughter enjoyed the paddle boat and we had fun fishing. We didn’t catch anything and weren’t sure if there were any fish until a guy in a boat was catching fish by our dock. I’m sure as usual we weren’t using the right bait or lure. 12 year old grandson enjoyed playing basketball at the park nearby but the 7 year old was disappointed the play structure at the park was under construction. But there were other play structures nearby we could drive to.

We LOVE this cozy home right by the lake. It has everything you need! Great views and walking distance to a semi private beach area & dock. The house is clean and has all the amenities you would need for a family vacation. The swamp coolers keep the place cool, even in very hot weather. We cannot wait to go back!

This place is amazing and such a nice retreat not too far north of the bay area. Often you find an Airbnb that isn’t fully equipped for cooking, bathing, living, etc. but this house is truly “turn key” and has everything you need. Add the grill and backyard space along the lake, and the arcade games, and it makes for a wonderful stay. We would love to stay again and again in the future whenever we need a quick break from the city.

This is a beautiful home located right on the water. The place was clean and the outside deck was a plus! The fridge made a loud buzzing noise during our stay but otherwise everything was perfect. 10/10 -- I'd recommend!

After having rented upwards of 20 homes in state and out through Airbnb And Vrbo, I can say with confidence that Charlene is one of the best hosts we have encountered so far. She was quick to respond to any of our questions or needs. The house was as advertised. Spacious, and very accommodating. We had a wonderful stay and will certainly return.

This home is stacked with amenities! We used the pool table, shuffleboard, kayaks and paddle boats quite a bit throughout. The bedrooms were comfortable and had enough space for all of our guests. The kitchen and living space is open concept, which makes hanging out in the common areas very easy! Highly recommend if you are looking for a fun group trip in the area!

Yes it was an amazing place to stay. We felt at home. The shower was amazing because it was a bit cold outside and after hiking all we wanted was a hot shower. Shamus did an amazing Job with checking in via the app to ask if we needed anything during our stay and it was much appreciated 😁. We never got cold during our stay whether the heater was on or not. We would definitely stay here again.

Really nice spot , host was super accommodating. Clean and easy to get inside.

Toni's & Philip's place was perfect. Seriously - clean, wonderful array of amenities in the kitchen, lovely garden backyard with bocce ball, clean, comfy bed, ample bathroom with great water pressure, clean, windows that open for fresh air, filtered water from the fridge, plenty of electrical outlets...and did I mention clean? You won't be disappointed. Walkable to restaurants and we found parking easy on the street. It's only 2 blocks from Golden Gate Park which, no matter how often I visit the area, always has something new to explore. Toni and Philip are the kind of people you wish to have as neighbors. They were attentive but not intrusive in any way. I would definitely seek this place out again in the future. Kudos to you, Toni & Philip, for creating such a lovely space!

Heidi’s place is one of my best air b n b experiences. Her house is clean comfortable, snacks and cookware made for an easy transition. The apartment was beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like she cares about her guests and their experience. The unit is quiet and parking was always right in front. Really nice cafe nearby. Laundry mat was clean and easy to get a machine on the weekdays. I live in oakland but needed a place to stay for a month and it was a mini vacation staying by the lake. A few times I ran into Heidi as she was out walking her dog, she is a joy.

Loved this place! We’ve been traveling around a lot and seen too many lackluster Airbnbs so this unit was a breath of fresh air. The place was clean! It’s eclectic without being too crowded or busy. The kitchen table is cute, there are great books and lots of lovely stuff to look at. The kitchen is much better stocked than most and Bree was a breeze to communicate with. We needed to add an extra night and she made it super simple and responded quickly. It’s easy to walk the lake and get to restaurants on lakeshore or grand and also the farmers market on Saturdays. There are stairs but they help you get your steps in! We would easily stay here again!

A very comfortable to lay my head after long days. When I come back this way I will look them up first.

pleasant decor, all the amenities you could need (Laundromat just next door), friendly neighbors, soft bed, shower has great pressure and all the hot water, even some tequila in the cupboard! 😅 Only thing I could complain about is it gets HOT in there on a hot day but just open the doors and hit the fans. Oh and such nice gardening, fragrant flowers everywhere. Thanks Kyle!

Great location in the Westin with access to the amenities, including the pool/hot tub and gym. The place is well equipped and it was great for being close to the gondola and village. We would happily stay again. The unit itself was good for our family of 4. We have young kids so the pullout sofa worked for them, but I suspect it would be too uncomfortable and small for bigger kids or adults.

Easy check in, the house has everything you need, easy to use. Bathroom is great and the water pressure pretty good.

Kierah’s place was very cute and was exactly as advertised. We stayed because we were racing Leona Divide trail races and it was the perfect location conveniently located to the start/finish. If you’re in the area to hike or run it would be perfect as well. The host was responsive and friendly. The local trails are beautiful. We would stay again.

Great place to stay with young kids. Easy walk to the gondola in ski gear during naps and short walk to the beach with a playground. Ideally located. Comfortable beds and clean all around. Great layout for the 4 of us. Would stay here again!

Tom was an amazing host. He was flexible with check in time. Had Benjamin greet us and walk us through the property. He showed us where everything was. Made us feel right at home. The place was very clean and conveniently located. Walking distance to everything in town. I would come again and recommend to others

Very cute 1 bedroom cottage around the corner from June lake brewery. Dawn was very nice and greeted us when we arrived. Cottage was clean and very dog friendly which was really important to us. Very quiet and peaceful area. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect location to go to Yosemite and Mariposa grove ! Highly recommended,

Debra was such an amazing host!! She took my friends and I in during the fire evacuations in LA and was so helpful during our entire stay. She brought us fresh eggs from her friend's farm and gave us great recommendations for places to explore in the area. The cabin was so cute and cozy, we all felt so at home! Thank you Debra!!

My family and I had an amazing time here! I brought my 1.5 year old son and I’m glad that they had fun things for the kids and a high chair! The area is beautiful and Yosemite is only an hour away!
