Vacation rentals with lake access in Mendocino County

The location is excellent—very close to the lake, which makes it perfect for enjoying water activities nearby. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of cooking tools and even a variety of seasonings, making it ideal for anyone who enjoys cooking their own meals. Highly recommend for both relaxation and lake adventures!

Great place to stay! Easy to find and the host was very helpful in suggestion local places. Had a good time.

Had a great one night stay at Laura’s place. Easy to find and check-in. Interior of the home is lovely and clearly recently remodeled. Bed was very comfortable. Sitting on the deck in the evening was great after a long day.

I had know idea Manchester existed; until now. I came to know Manchester well with the opportunity to stay at Jess’s home. There are multiple views of the ocean whether lounging in the outdoor elevated living room; sitting on one of the many window seats outside; enjoying the outdoor spa, or taking in a stroll through the neighbor and Pomo Lake trail just a scant from Jess’s home. It was so peaceful inside and outside Jess’s home I found it challenging to leave. The home was spacious and well appointed. If as needed assistance; Jess was responsive and went out of his way to accommodate my needs during my stay. I can only hope Jess’s home will remain available to visit for the foreseeable future. I plan to return I. The next month or so. I could not get enough of this sanctuary. And, the price was more than reasonable given what I received. Truly a treasure.

We had a great time at Philip’s home! Perfect location for a getaway. The home was spacious and well designed. Having private beach access was great to watch the sunset at the end of a long day. Philip provided tons of communication throughout the trip, with great recommendations before we headed up which made planning a breeze.

Quiet friendly neighborhood. Great veiw from the porch woth birds all around. This place is aptly named: The Birdhouse!

We loved our stay—the home is well kept and it is well cared for. We enjoyed taking walks with our young children around the neighborhood, and the beach was only a couple of minutes away and quite private. Because we have young children, we spent a lot of time in the home and enjoyed the outdoor spaces. It is a beautiful property with a lovely view from the back deck. We will definitely come back!

What a great house. Fantastic location right on the lake. The deck and the pier to the boat dock are amazing! The house is very cozy and comfortable. There are lots of different seating arrangements/places to hang out (inside and outside). The kitchen is super well-equipped, and the beds are very comfortable. Overall, this is a great find. We had an enjoyable and relaxing time here. We will be coming back.

It was a relaxing getaway with plenty of activities if you were to stay around the resort. Staff was A+

We have stay at the resort before. It is very close to our daughter's home. We love the convience and service. Jesse was a most helpful host and made everything work smoothly. We will probably stay again sometime and if you can get Jesse for host do so, you won't regret it. Tony

This was a great bnb walking distance to the lake. Many restaurants in walking distance as well.

Great spot right on the lake! The place is incredibly spacious and well-equipped. Not walkable to much other than the lake, but very convenient to get places by car. The lake view from the deck was lovely. Honestly was a perfect studio that could be a great for a long term stay too.

Great spot on Lakefront on Clear Lake. Easy and convenient location. Had a good night and enjoyed the stay.

The team at Lake Life seem very friendly and responsive to any questions I had.

We had an unforgettable stay at this peaceful house. The 3-acre property is a nature lover’s dream—each morning we watched deer and wild turkeys roam the grassy landscape. The home was spotless, with a fresh scent that made us feel instantly at ease. Peter and his wife were exceptional hosts. From the moment we arrived, they ensured we had everything we needed. When we mentioned our interest in fishing, Peter provided a detailed brochure and even lent us his gear. They graciously invited us to their lakeside land, where we spent joyful hours fishing and sharing stories—an experience our whole family cherished. Peter is also a talented photographer; all the stunning photos on the wall are his work. He even shared more of his beautiful shots with us during our visit. This Airbnb is truly a hidden gem—perfect for families seeking relaxation, nature, and warm hospitality. We can’t wait to return! I call it Hidden GEM in Clearlake and highly recommend it!

Love working with Gina great host.

We have stayed at this cottage multiple times, and plan on returning many more. Although I stay at other AirBnb’s throughout the country for work, nothing compares to this Manchester Cottage for vacation. The host has the hosting process done to a T. The entire experience, from start to finish was flawless. Other hosts should take note on how to do it properly. The private beach access is definitely the coup de grace of the entire experience, but the fully equipped kitchen is runner up. With 3 sons, having a functional kitchen is a must. Not to mention the gas grill on the deck near the hot tub. Just writing the review makes me want to book my next visit! We look forward to our next visit. Thank you!

We loved the place and the ducks were fun. Very rustic and perfect. I think stating turn right after Blackberry Ranch would have been helpful. We were on Hwy 128 back and forth going up roads, driveways etc for 2 hrs. We stopped people to ask, got out with flash on phone and tried calling to let them know we were so lost. GPS took us to the town of Yorkville and coordinates they sent took us further and ended us at a barn. It was so dark we could not see the Tadpole sign but went in each cottage until we found our name. Quite an experience. Love the place though. Great week-end for our anniversary.

Awsome place, close to town, gas station across the street

Great location. Kids enjoy fishing from the back dock.

I don't think I have enough characters available to describe this experience! We use Airbnb often and this was our best one! First, the host Jeffrey was fantastic. So helpful and communicative. But this home is just a magical place. If you're looking for a very private experience, but still close to the city... this fits the bill. I don't think the photos posted do it justice compared to the in-person experience. The house-keeping crew is perfection... you wouldn't know someone ever visited before you. Everything was immaculately clean. The kitchen has every amenity you would ever need. Blankets, linens, and towels were abundant. Our group had the most wonderful time... thank you Jeffrey and Trey for sharing your home with travelers. We enjoyed the added bonus of wildlife encounters each day as well! I am sharing the link to this property with everyone I know!

Such a beautiful, secluded stay. We brought all our food and cooked in the well stocked kitchen and outdoor grill. We loved the pool table and piano upstairs. The beach is stunning. And the view — second to none! Can’t wait to return.

We stayed here for thanksgiving break and it was a perfect getaway for us. Very comfortable place with all the amenities and fully equipped kitchen (We cooked entire time we were there). The surroundings is so beautiful and peaceful. Hike around the lake was really beautiful. Mackenzie was very responsive and even stopped by to help us light the fire. And invited us to campfire one of the evenings. We had a relaxing time surrounded by our nature. Didnt even get out of the property like we had initially planned to.. Highly recommend and would love to go back again.!

The Airbnb was in such a beautiful and peaceful location. The private beach access was really nice to have.
