Vacation rentals with a kayak in California

The host was very accommodating and responsive. The rental was amazing. Love the open concept overlooking the river and trees. The kitchen was huge and had all the cookware and accessories we needed. Loved the modern bathroom and beautiful shower. Overall, we loved the rental, and would love to come back and stay 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.

Host was easy to work with and the location was amazing! We had a great weekend get away for my birthday! The area is super relaxing and quiet. We definitely will book again when looking to go back to Clearlake.

Maja’s house was exactly what we were looking for our family retreat. Quiet, private, spacious and great amenities. The young kids and adults enjoyed the jacuzzi after spending the day in Yosemite, Mariposa and Bass Lake thanks to its great locations. Highly recommend it!

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 such an amazing time. So many activities to do at Kathleen’s. Our kids love the pond, swimming pool, fishing, pickleball, and appreciate all the outdoors amenities. Definitely a gem to visit for families. The home is a little dated. But all the outdoor activities make up for it.

Evan's place provides the best views of the ocean and is located close to multiple beach waves points. The electric bikes made for great fun, as we rode all over town. It was a great place, for a great price. A true million dollar view, especially from the decks. Highly recommend to people of all ages.

We had a wonderful stay at Ted’s place. The home and grounds are stunning, and in a close location to a beach and short drive to town. Ted was very helpful and the trip went smoothly. Highly recommend!

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!

The cottage had a beautiful view of the Bay. You could walk to the beach in about 10 minutes but you did need to cross the highway. The nearby beach was beautiful. The place was clean and very well supplied. It was quiet and peaceful. The neighborhood was a bit rough and ready but it wasn't a problem.

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.

A friend and I and our daughters had a lovely time staying here. I loved the mix of keeping the historical feel of the house and the tasteful updates the owners have done. We used the provided kayaks and paddle boards to paddle on the river. It is mellow enough that you can paddle up and down without any trouble (at least in mid-June). The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. We used the firepit one night to cook "hobo" dinners and make smores. The spa was also nice. We went to the nearby town of Guerneville to go vintage and antique shopping and eat meals. We also went on a hike near the beach. And nearby Duncan Mills is also a nice place to eat and shop. The nearby Lightwave Cafe is an experience! Definitely recommend a meal there. I would definitely stay here again.

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!!

We just completed a lovely stay at Emily's place -- the home is on a very quiet road, spacious, well-appointed, and the decor is a great match for the environment. One bedroom with adjoining bathroom is on the ground floor and the other is on the second floor, making it perfect for two couples -- plus there's a bonus bunkbed in the front room for kids. The outdoor space, surrounded by redwoods, has several seating areas with a nice hot tub (seats 4). The neighbors were all very welcoming and nice, we felt right at home in the area. We've been coming up to Russian River for about 20 years and had never heard of this small community, it was wonderfully off the beaten path yet close to everything! There is also secluded and well-maintained neighborhood beach which was great for sunbathing / kayak launching. Emily had alerted us that map apps weren't reliable for the area and sent a pinned location -- definitely use it and pre-load an area map, especially if you'll be arriving in the dark.

The coziest cabin + the best host. Jessika’s cabin was every bit as inviting, stylish and comfortable as pictured. The kitchen and bathroom are fully stocked and really well done. We stayed in June and were super happy that each bedroom had an AC unit. Comfy beds, the hot tub was great, and the back deck had space to lounge, grill and stargaze. But the real star is Jessika- she let us check in early and was flexible with the check out time too. Super informative and very cool. We plan on returning!

Natalie was an amazing host! Before I ever got there she sent the most welcoming message! The home was beautiful and exactly like the pictures! They gave great recommendations for paddle boarding / kayaking at the lake which we did! It was such a beautiful experience! We will one hundred percent be back and recommend this place to anyone who wants to get out of the city and visit big bear!!

We loved staying at this cabin as it was very peaceful, comfortable and had everything we needed for our weekend away. Had a great fire in the fireplace, enjoyed doing a puzzle, had great meals together and barbecued on the back deck while it rained. The beds were super comfortable! Awesome time, awesome place! We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you again Tiffany for sharing your place with us!! Dave, Janet & Chris

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.

Wonderful place to stay at! Very cute and charming place. Had everything you needed and very clean !!

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.
