Chalet vacation rentals in California

Four of us (and a dog) stayed at this location for a ski trip and it was great. It was relatively close to the lodges, everything inside was clean and as expected, and the pathways to the parking behind the unit was well maintained (although this year the snow isn't crazy like it was in the past two years). We did hear a lot of footsteps from the unit upstairs but that wasn't an issue for us. The Internet was stable, and most of the lights were dimmable and it was so pleasant to be able to adjust the brightness as needed.

Great, I’d stay here again.

Great hosts, wonderful house, very comfy beds, and nice kitchen. Great tree (Snuffy)! Comfy couch with a view of the mountains was absolutely wonderful, though we didn’t realize there were going to be some telephone wires running through the view (nothing the owners can do about that and you eventually get used to it). Will definitely stay again.

I stayed at Eagle's Nest in Crestline for a work trip, and it exceeded my expectations! Nestled in the serene San Bernardino National Forest, the chalet offered a perfect mix of seclusion and convenience. It’s just minutes from Crestline Village and Lake Gregory, with easy access to other nearby attractions like Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear. The chalet itself is spacious and well-equipped, with an open-concept kitchen, dining area, and great room ideal for both work and relaxation. The wrap-around deck and stone patio were perfect for unwinding after a busy day. I found the accommodations very comfortable, especially the cozy primary bedroom with its en suite bath. Though I was there for work, I thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful setting and natural beauty around me. I’m already looking forward to booking Eagle’s Nest again for a vacation. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking to escape and enjoy the mountains while having access to nearby activities.

Enjoyed our stay Great place over all Would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Paul is friendly and his home is a gem if your looking for a quite place surrounded by nature. The house is well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the upstairs bedroom deck with our coffee watching the sun come over the foothills. The Hawley Grade trail is within walking distance if you like to hike. It’s also an easy drive to get into Meyers and South Lake Tahoe.

We spent 3 nights at this place and had a great time! The host was amazing—super accommodating and responsive. The beds were very comfortable (always a big plus!), and the house had everything we needed to cook, relax, and enjoy ourselves. I would definitely go back and highly recommend it to others!

My friends and I were surprised to find this place so close to Yosemite south gate available just a week before Memorial Day weekend, with a very affordable price. We were even more amazed when we got there-the house was beautiful with amazing mountain views on the east. The living room felt grand yet cozy; the rooms were spacious and very clean. We have everything we need. Jeffrey and his co-host were so kind to offer us treats and beverages in the kitchen: even pizza and ice creams for late night cravings. They were very responsive too. Getting uphill to the place and down was a bit challenging at night for the first time; but easy enough once we got used to it. Overall we had a wonderful time there and definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay comfortably during their visit to Yosemite.

Rob’s place was a cozy comfortable place for our family of 5 to get some R&R.

very highly recommend this location- local next to all the stores (vons - stater bros) 5 -8 min drive to the little town , less than 5 min to big bear lake - host responded quick and attentive. my family enjoyed our stay here, everything was very clean and sanitary. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

We loved our stay at the Mill Valley Chalet! We felt super comfortable and at ease right when we walked in - mellow/calming instrumental music was playing, what a nice touch :) Being surrounded by redwoods, in a home made from redwood trees was magical. We loved that we could walk across the street and down the stairs into town. There were various delicious restaurants (we highly recommend Flour Craft Bakery and Piazza D'Angelo) nearby as well as a market and little shops. Super close to incredible hikes in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (NPS) and Mt. Tamalpais too. We really loved sitting out on the decks amongst the redwoods, and even saw a buck with large fuzzy antlers. The kitchen has everything you need including cooking oil, coffee, tea, and spices; the showers had nice water pressure; and the beds were pretty comfortable - the downstairs bed was a little firm, and upstairs medium firm. Matt and Krisztina were easy to communicate with, too :)

Vanessa was helpful and kept checking in to make sure that we were OK. The cabin was in a lovely forest neighbourhood. with fantastic bears for neighbours. The cabin was clean and well stocked. We will definitely return and would recommend.

Lize’s place was absolutely stunning! The porch views of the lake were unreal and it was in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. I was a solo female traveler and felt very safe and right at home. She helped me a lot with local recommendations of the area- like a private beach 5 minutes drive away.

Great house with a fantastic location for visiting Yosemite. Has a well equipped kitchen and laundry with basic supplies. Also has Wi-Fi that worked well. Nice layout for gathering and meals and private bedrooms. Owner instructions for how to get there and get in, as well as advice about where to provision before entering the park were very helpful. I would definitely try to stay there again if visiting Yosemite.

We had an overall good stay. The house has a modern kitchen with well-equipped amenities, and the dining room is spacious. The beach essentials in the garage were a great bonus, and the in-house Tesla charger was very convenient. The neighborhood is quiet yet close to local stores like Safeway, and although Kings Beach isn’t within walking distance—especially with small kids—it’s just a short 5-minute drive. A couple of suggestions for improvement: the sofa had visible stains and wasn’t very clean, so adding a cover would be a great touch. Also, the tub in the master bathroom is quite small—taking a shower there with the curtain drawn feels a bit cramped.

Booked the space chalet for a weekend. Felt right at home, a very calming and relaxing vibe. Ryan was communicative and supportive as this was our first big bear trip. My favorite thing to do was to wake up and drink a cup of coffee right on the balcony and hearing the beautiful surroundings.

The cabin in Arnold was absolutely perfect. The space was wonderfully equipped with everything we needed — from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy furnishings that made us feel right at home. Every detail was so thoughtfully considered, from the labels on each cabinet (which made it super easy to stay organized) to the abundance of games that kept everyone entertained. You can tell the hosts really care about creating a welcoming and comfortable experience. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun — I would absolutely stay here again!

The W House was a very nice relaxing home. Jen was an amazing host and always kept in touch. This place has lots of room for a family of 11 to spread out and have their own privacy and was fully stocked. The view and peacefulness was incredible. Hot tub was a huge plus as well as the deck and Blackstone Flat Grill which we used for all of our cooking. Nothing like cooking bacon and eggs outside in the early morning surrounded by redwoods. We went fishing, dirt biking and laid out by the nearby lake. S’mores night around the fire pit was a hit! Main Street Murphys for some wine tasting and ice cream made it for a fun and relaxing time for the whole family. We will definitely be back!

Amazing place with all the amenities you need. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

We had such a great stay! Quiet neighborhood, clear instructions for everything, super clean, everything was labeled —-just an absolute breeze! This is a nice house for anyone looking for the quiet of the forest. Rita and Nathan give local recs for everything. We went to Murphys for meals and wine tasting and visited the local parks and state park to get some fresh air. Kitchen was so well equipped for all our meals. If you have little ones with you, this place is a godsend. They had toys, pack and play, a crib, childproof cabinets, child proof plugs, childproof furniture—it made our lives a little easier not having to chase after the kid constantly. The fireplace is non-operational and they currently don’t have a washer dryer. Both would have been nice but we were only there a short time. And Rita and Nathan said they’re in the process of renovating so that could change by the time you book. They were honestly the most helpful hosts and so responsive. Wonderful stay!

it's a fantastic place to isolate from the world, great location with balcony on the lake .

We had a beautiful and serene stay—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The lake added a peaceful atmosphere, and having paddle boats available was such a thoughtful and fun bonus. The space was very clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of utensils, which made cooking easy. The beds were also super comfy. Overall, a lovely place to unwind. Highly recommend!

This is a spacious cabin in a beautiful spot. We loved being surrounded by snow. It did take 24 hours to warm up though the loft was always very warm. The beds were super comfy - they even had flannels sheets. Lots of room for everyone.

lovely place to get away from your regular daily routine. peaceful and friendly neighbors. Host was quick with responses for questions. very friendly and flexible. loved our stay. Want to return for another trip soon.
