Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Novato

This little treehouse cottage was a fantastic stay, and a beautiful home! Everything was clean, and it had a cozy bed, great water pressure, and dedicated parking; all huge benefits. Not a bad drive into San Francisco. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We stayed at Paula's house for almost 4 months. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Paula’s. Paula is super attentive. My flight arrived late, and she carefully and thoughtfully asked me what I wanted her to buy at the grocery store so that when I arrived at the house the supplies would be ready. The house is wonderful, clean, with lots of light, very spacious and comfortable, particularly the bed on which I slept soundly every night, the closet was ample sized, spacious fully equipped kitchen, large bathrooms, spacious and comfortable living rooms, it has a deck on the front and there is a sunny back deck too. The house is very well furnished. You won't miss anything. A peaceful and spectacular place to relax. It has excellent energy. Paula is friendly and provides great hospitality. Always kind, easy to communicate and helpful. Staying there was like being in a home away from home. I would return a thousand times with a light heart full of gratitude.

Great stay! The host was very communicative and helpful, offering great local recommendations. The backyard was a perfect spot to relax, and the location is super walkable to downtown. Bonus points for being dog-friendly—our pup loved it too!

Naomi's place was great! They were very responsive and the space was beautiful and fit all 6 of us nicely.

Great location and great house. The view of the Marin Civic Center (Frank Lloyd Wright building) was incredible during the day and at night. Walking distance to the Farmers market, Civic Center pond and dog park. Easy access to get to 101 yet in a very peaceful neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Loved the layout of the house and beautiful front yard. We were traveling with my elder parent with a walker and the house was perfect: spacious, walk in shower, relaxing front porch and front yard. I was surprised by all the "back yard" bird species in the neighborhood; their morning song was a delightful way to enjoy our morning coffee in the front yard. Dave is a great host. We had no issues and he was available for recommendations. Thank you Dave.

We stayed for a week here and had a fantastic time. The place is lovely and Brittney was a gracious and responsive host. Fairfax is a great little town to explore and I highly recommend the hiking trail within walking distance from Deer Park. The queen bed is in an older frame that causes a lot of noise/creaking from movement, so if you’re a light sleeper or move around a lot in your sleep, I would take this into consideration. Regardless, we’d definitely love to return in the future.

We were in the area for a wedding and wanted a place that our family (8 of us) could be together and hang out but also with areas to rest if needed. This home provided that and more! Plenty of options for us all to gather inside and out. So many TVs and a nice assortment of games also. We all enjoyed sitting outside to chat and enjoy the peacefulness of the water and surrounding area. The kitchen was wonderful, easy to prepare meals and we enjoyed the surprise in the fridge. All the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable - loved the fans in every room. Plenty of sparkling clean bathrooms that we could all get ready without any issues. Would highly recommend this home if traveling to the area. Easy access to the highway and shopping center.

very quiet with beautiful view. hosts were very responsive. place is very clean with modern appliances in working order , washer and dryer are very efficient and quiet. I have back pain and the bed is very comfortable. it is easy and safe to park on the property.

I stayed in the little studio for 2 months while on a research visit, and it was truly a home during this time. It's walkable to the university and excellently connected with public transport. It's in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of activities. The house has a beautiful back garden. It is not super-well insulated and you can hear your neighbours, which was a tiny drawback. The studio is tiny, but extremely comfortable and cozy. I appreciated the access to laundry and the host's responsiveness whenever I needed something.

Wonderful stay! Probably the best AirBnB experience I’ve ever had! I loved all of the instructions. The place was homey and very clean! There were a lot of little treats and snacks that made us feel very welcome. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great spot. Quiet & private. Check in & out was easy. I love being able to walk into town.

What a lovely place! Super cozy and beautifully decorated. The skylights bring in a lot of natural light and the patio is so sweet. I was greeted by two little birds singing their songs each day. Highly recommend! :)

This was our third time staying here. It is a clean and comfortable space with attractive furnishings and everything we needed for a two-week stay. We will return again next time we return to CA to visit family.

This place was beautiful, quaint, and the perfect getaway for 2! I went with a friend and we absolutely loved it while visiting both Napa and Sonoma. The surroundings are gorgeous and the apartment itself was so comfy and cozy. Eileen was also an amazing host! She always responded quickly and had recs on the ready!

Loved this place - it was cozy and nicely appointed. The bed and bedding were really comfortable, and there were two bookshelves with a wonderful eclectic selection of books to read and/or borrow. So fun! And for being 1/2 block from downtown Fairfax, it felt quiet and private. Really a great place!

Needed a place to stay in town to avoid commuting back and forth from San Francisco for a few days. Cozy clean and comfortable home. Will definitely be staying here again when needed. Thank you!

Very responsive and helpful host… would definitely go back and stay there when visiting the Bay Area again

Just a quick visit to Silverado. Had a great time. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice cozy place and good location.

Krista's condo is truly chic. The photos represented the condo beautifully which is not always the case with other airbnbs we have stayed at! Everything was perfect and we would stay again in a second!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is lovely and conveniently located. Mill Valley is a beautiful town. I would highly recommend this property.

It was great stay at Jeffersons listing and would love to stay the listing again :)

Amy met me to give me the keys and walked me through the condo to explain everything. It was a very personal approach. She also reached out to me the first morning to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. Everything was spotless and very high end. The place was very quiet and peaceful. I especially enjoyed the patio. I would highly recommend Amy's place to anyone looking for a base to enjoy San Francisco. I intend to stay again the next time I need a place in San Francisco for a few days.

Had a great stay in the heart of Napa, a quick walk to amazing options. the space was comfortable and well appointed. Would definitely stay again!
