Holiday rentals with a kayak in Northern California

Really enjoyed our stay at Kelly’s in Duncan’s Mills—this place had it all! Beautiful scenic views right off the back balcony and easy river access, made us feel immersed in nature. Plenty to do with your own private dock, kayaks, bikes, hot tub, and nearby town/shops just a mile down the road. Would definitely recommend this spot for a relaxing and fun getaway. Kelly was also an excellent, responsive host and helped make our trip nice and smooth. Thank you!

The house was well put together and all amenities were nice and clean. Ken was very responsive and helpful with any questions or recommendations. Beautiful home and neighborhood with friendly neighbors were encountered on our walks. I would highly recommend this spot for a large group or small depending on what type of visit you are looking for. There are shops and restaurants near by which was nice to be able to enjoy in addition to the house and amenities. I would stay here again.

The River View House was wonderful! Very quiet and peaceful - great for the 7 guests we brought. The river was fun for a quick dip once in a while. The home was clean and spacious. Plenty of linens, towels, and kitchen dishes for us. Nancy was super responsive and helpful. We are planning to come back to the same rental again! We didn’t add on the studio, but likely will next time if we have more guests or more than 2 couples.

Great time. So comfortable and quick drive to what we needed and had planned. Very nice property.

Place was amazing the wife and kids did not want to leave…had fun fishing from the docks out back…nice and peaceful place💜

The view looking out into the woods and river from the living room is absolutely breathtaking. We stayed in late April and it was a bit rainy so it wasn’t feasible to enjoy the river, but the location more than made up for it. The proximity to Armstrong Redwoods, Jenner, and several charming nearby towns made for a perfect mix of hiking, beach walks, and exploring local spots.

Clark's place was just what we needed after our long days in Tahoe. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. His back deck is a great place to relax after a long day out and about. Inside was spacious enough for the 5 of us traveling to be cozy and comfortable in our evenings there.

Drove in from Idaho for a college graduation at Humbolt. We needed a place for 3 couples. This place worked out perfectly. Eric and Heather were super nice and the communication was great. The place was so nice, kids loves all the space and playing outside with all of the acreage. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer’s place. The place was easy to find, clean, amenities as listed in description and very accommodating for our group with small children with the backyard trampoline, playground tire swing. The house is beautiful and everything worked well - AC, grill, appliances, no issues encountered which made this a convenient and hassle free stay. Close to Oakhurst for all your conveniences, Bass Lake and Yosemite. Check in/out process was very smooth, clear instructions were provided in advance.

We had such a great time!! The amenities were so amazing! Paddle boats, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, fishing poles were so amazing! We did not leave except to go to the bait and tackle store! It was amazing! They were so kind and attentive! we had a wonderful time

We’re very familiar with the surrounding area and this home is classic to the Russian River vibe. It’s easy to access Jenner Highland preserve, Armstrong woods and river activities. We found the listing to be accurate and very clean. We did not access the small secondary building but appreciated the hot tub. We also were glad we left our dog at home as there is no grass on the property and several stairs to navigate. It would certainly work for some dogs, but not ours was quite large. We did appreciate David’s immediate response to our request to edit our reservation when we decided not to bring our dog; excellent communication!

Peter and Nicky were amazing. We came out to see Redwood National Park, and staying at this slice of heaven made our stay much more enjoyable. They both made our stay as perfect as possible, the view was awesome, and we enjoyed many activities in the area, including the beach, Redwoods, waterfalls, kayaking, and the list goes on and on. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We felt right at home…. With a million dollar view 😉 P.S: Don’t use Apple Maps to get there, it will take you to the wrong location, use google maps.

Perfect place all around.

I had a great stay at my little cottage in Mount Shasta. The host was always available to help out and parking in a spot off the alley in the back made it very convenient. There was a beautiful lawn and garden area a great place for my dog to enjoy as well as me.

Christina’s home along the river was an absolute dream — peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by nature. We loved waking up surrounded by redwoods and spending slow mornings by the water, completely relaxed. Christina was a warm, thoughtful host, and we’re already looking forward to returning.

Small hiccup getting into the house and Amber was super quick to help! The place was stunning! So beautiful and so well appointed. The home is 10/10!!

Our stay at Lucky Bend Lookout was absolutely a dream. I wish I could stay on the porch overlooking the river (with redwoods right on the property!) forever. Despite the space being somewhat small for 8 adults, it was so well-appointed and with so many bonus outdoor spaces that it didn't feel that way. Sarah went out of her way to ensure we understood the details in the listing and had all the info we'd need in advance. The house was very clean, and well-stocked with the essentials. Nothing super fancy but it very much did the job. Hopefully I can come back sometime in the summer when the dock is installed.

Amazing place, amazing location, comfortable accommodations. It was a pleasure to stay here.

We really liked this place. Rural, very scenic. The cabin is very well constructed and well maintained. Nice step-in shower. Good kitchen. Bring food. There aren’t many dining choices nearby. The trading post at Dutch Flat is surprisingly well stocked, which is a good thing because the mini-mart/gas station at the Dutch Flat off ramp is the only other place around to get provisions.

What an absolute perfect way for us to stay in shaver! The listing matched the pictures and description. The hosts responded so kindly and quick. It was an a quick and easy getaway for our family. Everything was clean and neat. The kitchen was well stocked for what we needed. The pool and spa were very well kept and in a short beautiful walk away. I’m glad we came across this listing. I recommend this A+ location and host!

This wonderful little cabin was a great place to spend a getaway weekend with my son. The peaceful, wooded surroundings provided the relaxing backdrop I was looking for and my son was delighted with the wood burning stove. He discovered that the pine cones that were suggested as fire starters did a great job and he had a great time replenishing their supply from the woods around the cabin.

By far my favorite air bnb I have stayed at. Great location and community and the perfect sized home for my family with tons of things to do.

This is our 2nd time staying at Todd's. We love the home and the area. It is one of the cleanest airbnb's we have stayed in. We will continue to stay here as it is a short 2 hour drive from home.

Fun little A-Frame central to everything. Short walk to a beautiful beach. The back yard is definitely the place to hang out
