Farmstay vacation rentals in Central California

I would give 10 stars if I could! This tiny cute cabin is located in a very beautiful working farm, very quiet, calm and relaxing, and it’s only a 10 minute drive from Los Gatos in the Bay Area. Totally recommend it.

I had a great experience staying at Gina's place for an extended stay while on a clinical rotation. She was very flexible about the move-in and offered lots of help and suggestions while moving to the area. It was very peaceful with a beautiful view of the surrounding vineyards. I really enjoyed hanging out and soaking up the sun with all the furry friends on the balcony whenever I had a break. There are lots of great food suggestions in the surrounding areas and each coastal town was an easy drive to see the ocean. Thanks Gina, and I cannot recommend this place strongly enough.

Thanks again Eliza and Kevin for a magical stay! And thank you for helping Jeff design his pool. We will be referring all our friends to your very special spot in Sonoma!!

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful house. It was comfortable and clean. We will be back. Thank you.

First, the place is great. It is spacious, the bedrooms are large, and the view is fantastic. Being dog lovers, the highlight for us was Styx the ranch dog who kept us company all weekend. The house was clean and well stocked. The furniture is dated but comfortable. The master bathroom has a heater that made my shower very nice!

Best airBnB experience we’ve ever had. We already miss Scootch the herd dog, our host, the horses, the chickens and their fresh eggs, feeding the cows and new baby born calf, and the great views of snow capped mountains. Was a short half hour drive to downtown Tahoe, but we had more fun being on the ranch. The host took care of us like we were family. Unforgettable memories for us and our kids. ❤️😌

We stayed for just a weekend, but it was truly idyllic. The location was perfect — peaceful and pleasant, with easy access to restaurants and Yosemite National Park, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. A lovely bonus was the farm-raised hard-boiled eggs generously provided by our host, adding a thoughtful and charming touch to our stay.

We had a great time in Sonoma! Eileen's place was cozy and clean and afforded us close proximity to town while giving us peaceful surroundings to unwind at the end of the day.

Had an amazing stay! The farm house was very clean, great views, and the hosts were awesome! Communication was spectacular and transparent. The host allowed us to experience the farm animals close up and roam around the property. Would come back again and recommend to anyone who is visiting the area.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at the farm! The location was serene and beautiful. The farm was beautiful and we really enjoyed walking around and exploring the farm. The goats were very fun to watch and the baby goats were adorable! Curtis was very friendly and responsive and even came very quickly to help us when we needed help. We had an amazing time and hope to go back again!

This is a truly lovely property with breathtaking views of the vineyard and sunset. The interior is well appointed and spotless. The linens and bedding are sumptuous. There are many fragrant fruit and flowering trees around the pool deck.

I really enjoyed my stay here at this little cottage. As she mentioned in the listing, it is a working farm so there is a little bit of movement of people and vehicles somewhat nearby - on some days in the morning and in the afternoon but I did not find it to be bothersome. Most of the time, I did not see anyone around. And I enjoyed walking in the almond groves all around! The WIFI was plenty fast-enough for me to work and stream movies. There is no TV but there is a Walmart about 10 minutes away. The water pressure was good and there was always plenty of hot water. The dishwasher works great and the rest of the appliances are also clean and work great and the kitchen is very roomy. I like the open floor plan and the bed and recliner were also very comfortable. I did not use the wood stove but I used the space heater that they have there and it worked well, as did the AC unit. I had a very comfortable stay!

Super cute place! Our kids loved the ducks and horses across the street. They couldn’t wait to explore! The house is very well stocked- games, kids toys, cookware, laundry soap… everything you can think of! We had a really great time, and it’s such a unique place to get to stay!

Perfect location to enjoy the wineries! We loved the cows and enjoyed watching them! We gave them all nicknames-haha! The house is totally sustainable to live in long term, unlike your average Airbnb! This place has everything you'd need, including privacy and a great nights sleep. Would totally come back!

Amazing hosts, amazing house, amazing farm! The house was clean and equipped with everything you could need, especially catered to children. Deanna got the kids involved right away with the farm animals and gave us free range of the property and amenities-including playing with the bunnies while she was away. She took tons of pictures of the kids and several group shots which she sent us the next day. Such a memorable and special weekend with the family. We’d love to come back!

We were comfortable immediately on arrival. It looks and feels just like her pictures show. It was clean and inviting, bed was super comfy. LOVED the fire pit. It is a great location. Super private yet only a few minutes to town. She was easily accessible if we needed her.Just a miner FYI- the sofa is more of a futon than a pull out sofa. It sits on the floor, not on a frame. We will recommend her place with no hesitation!! You will not be disappointed.

Best Airbnb experience. Apart from the perfect location, room, farm tour, it is the hospitality and warmth by the host Collette that was beyond expectation. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and Collette added special touch to make the day extra ordinary. Claravale farm is beautiful, the animals are cared and loved. The highlight was sumptuous breakfast 🥞 which Collette made from scratch. Overall best time spent.

This vacation home fit the our needs perfectly. We were two couple in Paso for tasting and winery visits. The home was super private with a large parking area. The two large bedrooms, each with its own full bath, made our stay very comfortable. The kitchen was supplied for everything we needed to cook a nice meal. The kitchen table allowed us to sit comfortably and play a game of cards. Joey and Sarah were great host and were easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this home and consider it for our next stay in Paso!

This is our second time visiting the ranch and our stay was just as perfect as the first time. There is so much to do on the property and around Paso Robles. Daphne and her team are kind, welcoming and helpful. The hilltop retreat home is beautiful, kid friendly and left us wanting for nothing. We can’t wait to stay here again!

We had a wonderful time! Our kids loved the horses and the area was very peaceful. Vanessa was a great host!

" Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's home from work we go..." This property is indeed a storybook cabin that sits on a secluded hilltop teeming with wildlife. Nestled just between the 2 large lakes of San Antonio and Nacimento, the sweeping views of the entire area are unmatched. We woke up to deer soaking in the rays from the morning sun in front of the kitchen window, rabbits hopping around the garden, ground squirrels racing while the long horn cows and horses grazed peacefully. Even more impressive - hardly an insect in sight besides the occasional moth that few too close to the flames of the outdoor fire pit as we star gazed in the evenings. The actual cabin was equally impressive. Besides the ingenious artistry and design, the amenities and personal touches throughout the home were exceedingly thoughtful and considerate. Stocked kitchen, ton of large towels, soaking tub.. Although temps were averaging around 40 degrees in the evening, we stayed toasty and comfortable. * Magical *

What a great place to stay! Liesl and Marcel provided thorough, timely instructions on how to find the home, how to access it, as well as thoughtful recommendations for area activities and food. All recommendations they provided were spot-on! The home was better than expected....extremely quiet, clean, private.....everything one could ask for when trying to "get away from it all." Thanks again, Liesl and Marcel!

This place was absolutely amazing! Between the view the homey feel and the lovely hosts we felt that this trip was overall incredible. The sky at night is a huge plus!! The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked and easy to use. We will definitely be going back when we get the chance! So peaceful!

Dear Arturo and Jessica, Thank you for allowing me and my dog parents to stay at your amazing home. I had the best vacation of my life! There were so many things to do and smell. The goats were amazing. They were very curious about me. I are absolutely fascinating. They showed all their goat behaviors. I appreciate the windows on the door and in the primary bedroom closet a bit lower so I could view the goats from the house. After long days of goat observation I was exhausted and the the house was huge so there was plenty of floor space to take naps. Overall this was the best airbnb I've ever stayed at. 2 paws up!
