Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Nozawaonsen, Shimotakai District

We had an amazing stay at Geoff and Aki’s place! They are incredibly caring hosts who made sure our trip was comfortable and unforgettable. They provided us with all the necessary information about the area and were always ready to help with visiting local attractions. The house itself was warm and cozy, with a breathtaking view from the window. At the end of February, there was a lot of snow, and the nearby ski resort was open – we could even walk there! Getting to the house by taxi from Nagano was easy, but traveling back without a car was a bit tricky. Fortunately, Geoff was very kind and helped us with transportation when needed. We truly appreciate their hospitality and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in Nagano!

Beautiful place and surroundings. Perfect for our family.

The host is a 5-star superhost. First, the apartment is super clean and well stocked. Host was thoughtful as when we check-in, the air-condition was already turned on and so was the aroma scent machine, making son feel so welcomed. The host also left snacks, milk and drinks for is in the fridge and even gave me a birthday cake, knowing it was my birthday. Such thoughtful host. They also left is tea and sweet potato snack at out door on our check out day and we will not hesitate to book this place again if we return to Karuizawa in winter. Definitely a good find and a good recommendation. Place was easy to find with google map and is within close proximity to many places and good food - we drive and parking just infront of the house is super convenient.

Fantastic accommodation just by Snow Monkey Park. Wonderful scenery, conveniently located and breakfast was included! The only downsides would be the lack of A/C in the bedrooms (for summer) and the noisy adjacent street where bikers rush up and down the valley early in the morning.

Yoshi was very helpful and shit home was awesome, very comfortable, super convenient and just all round nice, would stay there again 100% I rate this place very highly

A truly wonderful stay and one of the highlights of my 3-month stay in Japan. At first I hesitated booking because the rules and warnings were so severe, but Akko is a warm and generous soul who went out of her way... several times.. to make my stay great. And despite not having a stove I managed to cook some simple meals. The supermarket nearby is large with an excellent selection of prepared foods. The flat is spacious and functional, not fancy. There are tons of notes around to explain how things work and, yes, a cute hand-written map of local attractions. For tall people, the door jambs are a bit low, so watch your head.

I really enjoyed playing with the friendly cats from evening to morning.The host's recommendations in the neighborhood were also good.

Hiromi and Toshi are the greatest host that have build a lovely place in Nagano. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave they do everything they can to make you feel welcome. I definitely recommend staying with them, I for sure will next time I am in Nagano.

Mark was an excellent host. He picked us up from the bus station, took us to get groceries and ski hire. He provided us with ski passes so we didn’t have to worry about working that out ourselves. He provided us with plenty of local recommendations. The house was warm, comfortable and clean. It was a minute walk to the ski field and a short walk down to the restaurants in town. We loved our stay and will 100% recommend to friends and if we ever come back we’ll be staying again!

A beautiful home within a short walking distance from the train station. The host was proactive in communicating and very responsive! I recommend this place!

The host is very responsive and kindly allows early check in when the house is ready. This is our 2nd time to stay here, everything is perfect.

We had a great stay at Omusubi. Ryuichi, as everyone else mentioned, is such a helpful and kind host who greeted us personally. He gave us great recommendations and is always responsive when we had questions. The place is a walk away from Cortina and a few mins drive from Norikura, so convenient for skiing. The whole unit is clean and spacious, and the heating is great! The only slightly downside is that the soundproofing isn’t so great, so you’d hear sounds from the next room and outside if there is significant noise. Thankfully the area doesn’t seem to be noisy so we weren’t too affected. Overall it is still an excellent option for the Hakuba area!

Very nice place to stay for one night. About 40m away from Karuizawa, can check in at anytime and quite spacious.

Nice place, peaceful, quiet neighborhood.

Loved the location, right under the Takashima castle. Having access to bikes was also a huge plus for touring the Suwa Lake. Thank you! :)

Such a homely place! Place was big and there are lots of eateries around. Everything was perfect. Many facilities were provided which helped us a lot eg usage of washing machine. Will come again when I visit Matsumoto.

Was so impressed with our accommodation it was perfect, with great location, beautiful views, and it accommodated all our needs. would definitely come back here to stay and would highly recommend.

We had a great stay here. Truly beautiful spot in the mountains surrounded by lush forest. Would recommend!

Awesome place, great staff, happy to drive us places and great food and vibe!

The cabin was a little secluded with small roads. But very beautiful surroundings and still near the main attractions. Great privacy and very well appointed accommodation. Highly recommend!

Everything good. Host is very friendly and response for all message to help. I wiil be here again.

I could not recommend Villa Monochrome enough! Yasue was so helpful the whole time of our stay, she picked us up and dropped us off at the bus terminal for arrival and departure and even drove us to get groceries. She was helpful during our stay and really made us feel at home. The accommodation was beautiful and well equipped and the location is fantastic for snowsports at Happo One. Will definitely be staying again! Special mention for the Kotatsu (heated) table. That was such a lovely treat after a day on the mountain. 10/10 for Villa Monochrome.

The warmth of the host is amazing. If there were any problems, we were very responsive to any issues that were met with immediate response. I usually visit villas and cottages across the country as a hobby. With this quality, I don't think this price can be a good idea. +4500 yen to use the BBQ empty-handed +2500 yen to enjoy the firewood However, you can also bring a nearby home center or bring it with you. The BBQ set is free, so if you bring charcoal and ingredients, you can do it right away without an optional fee. It has a large semi open-air bath. Four adults can enter.It was beautiful. The finished house is also perfectly written in English. I think this place is going to be popular soon I think it will fill the reservation if you put it in Jalan or Ichiku (it may be unnecessary, but it may be unnecessary) Thank you for being such a great response

My kid and I had a great 4-night stay at the corner house. The location is perfect, peaceful yet close to restaurants, stores, and onsens. The well-stocked kitchen made meal prep a joy. It truly made our visit to Nozawaonsen extra special, a real gem!
