Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake County

We had a great family vacation here in Nice, CA for 6 nights in June. It was my birthday; I brought my wife, 1-year-old son, and my dog. My parents visited too. Everyone enjoyed the space. Great for kids and dogs. Enjoyed taking the canoe out on the lake when we had babysitter help. Also a good place to launch a SUP. The private dock was sweet! Tons of great birdwatching. Especially enjoyed the swallows, swifts, and osprey. 15 minutes away was Blue Lakes, an even better place to SUP and swim for the day (we got day passes from the Lodge). 5 stars! Thank you Susan and Jon!

WorldMark, is one of the best places to stay at clear lake, we had a nice view of the lake, the unit was very clean and smelling good, the fishing was amazing 👍🏾. Looking forward to next year.

The was just as the pictures and description showed it… It was the most relaxing weekend we had had a long time… Being able to be right on the water and catch fish off the deck was the best part of the trip. Highly recommend.

Our stay was extremely amazing thanks to the historical and elaborately designed furnishings & buildings, the nature-rich environment, and the warm hospitality of the staff. The location was also great, with downtown within walking distance and a nice park just a short drive away where you can play in the river.

Had a wonderful time for my Bachelorette Party. Beautiful location and amenities were great.

We had a great time here! It’s our second time staying. Beautiful home with a gorgeous view. Stephen was great and very responsive.

Place was great and staff was pleasant! Tawny was super responsive and understanding. The pool there is awesome! The only thing is that the lake is not very good for swimming and there is no close access to it. I should have read more about Clearlake.

Can’t wait to return! Was great for my family of 8, the pool was a must and that made the whole trip enjoyable for all ages!

We loved how easily accessible the lake is with your own dock and a launch not too far away. Our kids loved the Lilly pad, slide and kayaks provided! There were also a lot of life jackets available which was nice. The bottle of wine and complimentary tastings at a local winery was a nice touch! I loved the boho decor and there was plenty of amenities in the kitchen. We will definitely be back another time :)

A Soulful Escape – A Farm Stay to Remember From the moment my husband and I arrived, this magical farm stay enveloped us in beauty and tranquility. The grounds were absolutely stunning—lush, serene, and infused with the calming scents of rosemary, lavender, and jasmine. Each morning, we woke to the peaceful sound of birdsong and the familiar, nostalgic smell of fruit orchards, instantly transporting us both back to cherished childhood memories. Our cottage was a perfect haven for two: completely private, thoughtfully appointed, and decorated with an eclectic, artsy flair that made it feel both unique and welcoming. By the end of our stay, we both felt completely recharged—calm, grounded, and connected.

Loved every minute of our stay. The neighbors were friendly and it was so peaceful. We loved having the private dock.

Kaushik’s place was just as advertised! Beautiful waterfront property with plenty of sunlight, a bbq, and a fire pit. It would be a pleasure to stay here again. Thank you for hosting!

It is in a beautiful location, and the apartment was relaxing and well-appointed. There is a very peaceful garden/patio area that is available for all the guests. There is more than adequate free parking. There are several great places to eat. Studabakers, across the street, has the best coffee in town. For breakfast, I recommend the Everything Bagel with lox. My husband prefers the breakfast burrito. They also make takeaway sandwiches, which we took to the state park for a walk and picnic by Clear Lake.

Heather was an awesome host and her place was exactly as described. It is a big property where you can unplug and experience nature. She showed us some cool local spots to see an Elk herd and a river pool where we could cool off on a hot day. We BBQ'd outside every night and the cabin stays cool if you open the windows at night and close them early in the morning. Heather also went above and beyond to help us when our dog got sick. She knows her stuff! We were able to get there easily with a two-wheel drive midsize SUV in July so don't let the road scare you. My recommendation for future residents is to download the surrounding area of the lake on Gmaps so that it works offline before you arrive so that you can still enter directions and travel to different spots around the lake.

Linda‘s place was perfect for a mini weekend retreat at Harbin. Her place is a short 8 to 10 minute drive to the Harbin Hot Springs gate. My friend and I stayed here for two nights on Labor Day weekend. Both of the beds were very comfortable my friend slept up in the loft, and I slept in the downstairs bed, it was no big deal to walk across the patio to reach the bathroom in the night. The automatic lights she has set up worked perfectly. The outdoor furniture was lovely and a great place to have your morning coffee or wine in the evening. Definitely would stay again.

This is a great place right on the lake with its private dock for fishing. There is also chairs and table on the deck under the shade that overlooks a lake. The house itself has plenty of space, well stocked and very clean. Comfortable bed for good nights sleep. The hosts are lovely and friendly people that are ready to help with anything you might need. The town is well located to take day trips around Mendocino area and explore wineries. Recommend to anyone who is looking for a peaceful getaway in nature.

I had an amazing weekend at Pine Grove in the Maple Cabin. Joe and Noah are incredible hosts that have taken great care to ensure a perfect peaceful retreat. Our cabin overlooking the creek was well set up with everything you could need. Great hospitality! Also, Roomie is the GREATEST dog ever!

Yan’s place has gorgeous sunrise views over the lake and our stay was a very peaceful weekend getaway. The house comfortably fit three adults and an infant and was well equipped with everything we needed.

My husband and I had a great stay! This condo was very spacious and had everything we needed and more! A very relaxing trip!

Jesse was highly communicative and detailed leading up to my trip, and the staff handled it from there. Love staying here!

This place is magical. There’s a creek in the backyard and surrounded by trees. You feel so far away from everything, but there’s a grocery not too far. The coffee shop right down the street is also very good. 10/10 would come back

We had a fabulous time as a group of 10 girls celebrating my sister's engagement. The house has the most beautiful view and did not disappoint! The best part of our experience was that Danielle was SO helpful in planning our wine tasting day and giving recommendations. We were unfamiliar with Alexander Valley, and she was able to help us coordinate and afforable, unforgetable day visiting wineries!

this was my first time getting an Airbnb. Fred made the experience stress free. got back to us in a timely manner whenever we had any questions. the place was very nice and we had a great time. would rent again. thank you Fred!

Beautiful and spacious home with wonderful decor. Great location- the view of sunrise over the lake was absolutely stunning.
