Getaways in California

The house was absolutely beautiful. Walking in, it looks just like the pictures portray it. Everything was clean and organized. The game room is a nice touch as we enjoyed the many games of pool. Anna and her team were not only always responsive but did so in such a timely manner, which is truly appreciated. There is no doubt in my mind that I would stay here again or any of their other properties in the future.

We had a wonderful stay! The interior of the house is beautifully designed—stylish, cozy, and thoughtfully put together. Every detail felt well-curated, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The home is impressively well-equipped, making it easy and comfortable to settle in right away. One of the things that truly stood out was how immaculately clean the house was—not a speck of dust or dirt anywhere, even in the corners or under furniture. It felt incredibly fresh and well cared for. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, the hosts responded quickly and kindly. Their warm hospitality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and seamless stay.

A beautiful, well appointed and modern home in a stunning location with easy access to the Joshua Tree National Park. We had a great few days here.

Place is fantastic to spend some time out in Joshua Tree. EV charger helped a ton; views to die for, Road Runners and wild Rabbits on the property were cool to see :) Pool is great, and so is the house, overall. Some blinds/curtains would be helpful during sunset in the Kitchen/Living Room, appliances could use some love to match the rest of the house. The gas fire pit is nice but the placement isn't ideal - in the desert wind blows hard at times and for us, it was unusable during the time we were there since the wind was not allowing it to keep lit. Really good, regardless, maybe a tad over priced, but definitely had a good time.

We had a great stay at this house! Our three favorite parts - the awesome views (even better in person), the beautiful pool/hot tub (which was always very clean), and getting to love on Bella (their super sweet dog). Stephen communicates very well. They gave us all the privacy we needed. The house was a perfect size for our family (brought our two kids) and the extra long patio was great. A few areas in the house could use updates (example: the shower knobs are difficult to turn) but it was all clean, which I strongly appreciate. The views, pool, and Bella made our trip amazing for sure! Thank you Stephen and Pim.

This place was SPOTLESS! It was so clean and organized. She gave us extra towels and blankets. The outside area is gorgeous and filled with beautiful plants and flowers. Easy and clear instructions for check in and check out. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay! The pool was perfect and we relaxed during the day while it was too hot to hike in Joshua Tree National Park. The desert views from the pool area in the backyard were incredible and made us feel like we were still in the national park. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. The indoor/outdoor cactus planter by the front door was my favorite part. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

A+ Very, very nice house. We used the pickleball court and pool every day. Pool water was cold to first touch but wonderfully refreshing after being in for 5 minutes. Addision was very responsive. I highly recommend.

My wife and I really enjoy the stay at the cottage very clean space and the surroundings of nature was wonderful. April was very helpful and understanding when needed. I really recommend this place to a couple that wants to relax from the city and the daily routine of work. it's a place where you could really appreciate nature and the surroundings.

Gorgeous location and the home was very comfortable. The ocean view, and hot tub and fire pit overlooking the ocean, were a dream come true. The beds were so comfortable and there were plenty of towels and blankets provided which was a really nice touch. The house was small for our family of four but the comfort, ocean view, and tons of outdoor space more than made up for it. The kitchen was small but well-stocked for cooking basic meals. Eva was a fantastic host, super hospitable and proactive and friendly. Can’t wait to come back.

This cottage was absolutely beautiful, from the views to the quiet sound of being surrounded by nature. Almost like being in a perfectly panoramic dream with the ocean and the gorgeous sunsets and clear starry night skies. I also highly recommend TreeBones and their sushi chefs, who are conveniently located minutes away. The on-site host was kind enough to give us space, check in to see if we needed help with anything but also let us play with their puppy. Will have to visit again!

We had a wonderful stay at Hayley’s place. The cabin is actually more spacious than the photos demonstrate, yet it was exceptionally cozy. We had everything we needed. We ended up eating dinner at Cove Azul Bar and Grill in Gualala, which was recommended by Hayley. The food was delicious, the service friendly, and the prices very fair. We were a little surprised that we had to drive to get to the private beach access, but that is my only complaint. It’s close enough to walk to, but you are risking injury/death with no shoulder on the road to walk to.

Weeklong getaway from the normal at home and work grind. Very relaxing, peaceful, and a beautiful location. Sitting outside in the afternoon sun with a cool onshore breeze rustling the trees was terrific. All of the amenities provided were exactly what you need, whether cooking and “living” there, or just a base camp from which to adventure. Bed was comfy, as were the various seating options. Diane and Bob were available as needed, but definitely not hovering. We enjoyed several conversations about the property, and local activities, otherwise we enjoyed the solitude offered.

We loved our time in the cabin! Perfect location and sweet and special home base! Was so nice to have the option to stay home, walk down to the beach or just around the very lovely neighborhood, or take a short drive into Guerneville or up or down the coast to other nearby towns. Fun exploring, cozy nesting, would come back in a heartbeat.

A charming stay under a redwood tree nestled in a garden oasis, with beautiful patio, comfy bed, and an outdoor kitchen & bath that was heaven on earth. A truly unique experience to bathe under the stars and enjoy morning coffee by the fire pit. A wonderful redwood trail not far from the property (Grove of Old Trees) was a perfect compliment to our stay at The Perch!

We had an unforgettable experience at The Lookout in Stallion Springs, CA — the perfect spot to celebrate our 11-year anniversary. From the moment we arrived, the peace and beauty of the property took our breath away. The panoramic views were incredible — sunrise and sunset felt like nature’s private show, with colors we’ll never forget. The property is beautifully maintained, and Blair and his wife were such gracious and welcoming hosts. They encouraged us to explore the grounds, and we loved meeting their beautiful horses! It was a joy chatting with Blair about his amazing landscaping work. The water feature out front is a true work of art — so calming. On his recommendation, we visited P Dubs Bar & Grille and absolutely loved it — great food and atmosphere. Wildlife was everywhere — we saw wild boar, elk, and deer, which added to the magic. The setting was peaceful and serene — a true escape. Everything about our stay was perfect. Highly, Highly recommend this spot! 10/10

If you're looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the place for you! This place has *everything* (literally) to help you unwind, all you have to do is show up and relax. Not to mention the beautiful mountain views and the awesome drives down the winding roads! Char was super responsive and readily available if you needed anything. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your little slice of paradise. It reminded us as to why we love California so much!

It's such a beautiful accommodation. You can make unforgettable memories for a lifetime. Recommended for those who want a Joshua Tree accommodation. If I stay for consecutive nights, I will be able to rest at a slightly cheaper price.

We arrived after dark but had no problem finding the house or getting in. Such a cute, well decorated cozy home. We loved the roof-top deck for star gazing and even got up at 3:30 AM so we could have a better view of the night sky after the moon set. Definitely would stay here again.

This was our second time at Jody's beautiful place. Me and my friends once again felt at home. Easy to comunicate with friendly and attentive host Jody. The house again spotless and with everything you need to have an unforgettable stay. Is so beautiful, private and relaxing that is hard to leave. We are already thinking to return next year. Thank you Jody for sharing your paradise.

I have stayed in a million Airbnbs over the years and this was by far the best experience I have ever had. The house was impeccable, pristine and so beautiful. The view is incredible. Sitting on the patio at night and watching the sunset or sitting in the hot tub under the stars was the best part of everyday. However, as incredible as the house was, April and her team were the real stars. They were so responsive to all of our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay. I have never had such a responsive and caring host. I will be dreaming of coming back here as soon as I can! Book it, you will be so glad you did!

Our second time staying here. We love the lake view and nice details and finishing touches of the place.

What an amazing place!! The view was as amazing as the house. Very clean, such a spectacular view. Beds were very comfortable, easy access to park and get into the house. The extra amenities with the house were an added bonus! If I’m ever in the area again would definitely stay again! Host was extremely helpful and very responsive!

Remote, amazing view, host responds in a timely manner, and check out list was simple for travelers. I would definitely book this stay again.
