Family-friendly vacation rentals in Nevada County

My family and I spent a wonderful weekend at this cabin. Cabin was well set up, beds comfortable, many games/ equipment available for use. The hot tub and views from the deck were amazing. Highly recommend!

The house was well put together and all amenities were nice and clean. Ken was very responsive and helpful with any questions or recommendations. Beautiful home and neighborhood with friendly neighbors were encountered on our walks. I would highly recommend this spot for a large group or small depending on what type of visit you are looking for. There are shops and restaurants near by which was nice to be able to enjoy in addition to the house and amenities. I would stay here again.

This cabin was very cozy and just what we were looking for. Great place for a couple. Enjoying the hot tub while snow fell around us was a memorable experience and one of my favorite parts of the whole trip! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and there were several great restaurants within walking distance that we checked out. I loved our stay there!

Super responsive after booking. Really clear instructions for access to house, as well as, things inside house. convenient location too

I knew the house would be rustic, so I brought my camping gear. I did not need them. The kitchen was well equipt. I could cook anything I needed to make on the hot plate or in the microwave/toaster. There was also a smoker and like 5 BBQs. Do not be worried about cooking. The location is awesome. It is so close to so many things.. or you can just hang out on the property. We spent a day on the property and a day exploring. We spent every night in the hot tub. It was glorious. The bed is very comfortable!

#2 One of the nicest Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at! Peggy was a gracious and thoughtful host—she greeted us on arrival, showed us around, and stayed in touch throughout our stay. We brought our puppy and arranged a sitter for the wedding weekend, but Peggy even helped cover a gap and let our pup play with her dog when the sitter had to run out. The fenced yard, private entrance, and peaceful setting made it the most dog-friendly trip we’ve ever had. The home was spotless, the bed and couch were super comfy, and we loved relaxing in the hot tub and on the patio. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the location couldn’t be better—an easy 10-minute walk into charming downtown Nevada City for dinner and breakfast. 10/10—would absolutely stay again!

We enjoyed this beautiful property, and the hosts were very communicative.

The house is extremely cosy, we felt right at home. The fireplace was ready to start when we arrived and we enjoyed a night of game board (which are numerous and of quality) in front of the warming fire. The decoration was very well done and the kitchen very well equipped. The bathrooms although on the smaller side were well furnished and the quality of the body wash products excellent. Roxie and Greg were very communicative and helped resolving an issue before we arrived. We would definitely come back, it's a perfect location for spending Christmas.

Had a beautiful weekend in the cottage. Bed was very comfortable. Enjoyed the coffee bar, and the kitchen was perfect for cooking in. The shower felt great, hot and good flow. Couldn’t beat the location in great communication with the host. Can’t wait to go back.

This place is an absolute gem. The decor is stunning—thoughtfully curated with impeccable taste and attention to detail. Everything inside feels high-end, from the furniture to the finishes, making it not just a place to stay but a space to enjoy. The location is perfect, tucked away in a peaceful area yet still close to everything you’d want to explore. But the real showstopper? The backyard. It’s unreal. Our kid had the best time running around and playing freely, and the creek out back is serene and beautiful—a perfect spot to unwind with a morning coffee or evening drink. You can tell the host put real care into every corner of the home. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and stylish getaway

We had a very nice stay. You could tell there was a lot of thought put in to making guests feel comfortable, accommodated and informed. The location was perfect and within walking distance to restaurants, shops and the beautiful lake.

The cabin was quaint, cozy and brought us back to childhood memories. We enjoyed burning the wood stove in the evenings and watching VHS movies- such a fun touch! We felt super close to Truckee- only 15 mins down the highway, and what a beautiful drive. We ultimately loved our stay and are grateful for these new memories! We will definitely be back!

We loved staying at Mike's cabin. It was a perfect relaxing getaway for us and our dogs on a very quiet street with nearby trails. We enjoyed the cozy feeling of the cabin and were glad to have a well stocked kitchen for cooking and plenty of firewood for unwinding at night. Mike was very friendly and communicative, and was able to offer some local suggestions when asked. Just a heads up - if you don't have 4 wheel drive, you may want to use chains to get up the last couple hilly streets to the cabin in case of icy or snowy conditions. Once we arrived, though, the stairs to the cabin were completely free of ice and snow. Thank you, Mike!

I can’t say enough about David’s place. This little cottage has all the feelings of home. It’s super cozy and has a great location. The view is stunning from the deck. David was great about communicating with me and responding to questions. I hope to be able to return to Lake Tahoe someday and I will definitely look into staying here again. Thank you so much for sharing your little spot of paradise with us!

We just returned from an amazing stay at Drew’s beautiful home in Tahoe! The house was absolutely perfect for our family — spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The location was fantastic, close to everything, but still peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub was a huge hit, and all the little amenities made it feel like a true home away from home. Drew was a wonderful host — responsive, helpful, and made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. Truly our best Airbnb experience ever — we can’t wait to come back!

This is such a cute cabin! We loved the location in Tahoe Vista only one block from the lake! The kitchen was clean and stocked and we enjoyed drinking our coffee on the deck surrounded by trees. Laura was responsive, friendly, and made us feel right at home! We had a great trip!

Carissa was very communicative and the location was beautiful

Clean, organized, and full of everything you'd need. The owner clearly put a lot of work into the space and it shows. Many Airbnbs are bare-bones but this one is not. So many labels and instructions!

Great place and host!

The house is so cute and quaint with beautiful scenery. Located close enough to town for a quick trip and yetbfar enough from town to enjoy peace and quiet. The house was clean and offered all the amenities of home. I would highly recommend this home

We had the most wonderful stay and can’t wait to return!

Yufen & Biren have created a lovely space to decompress at in between the busy days of exploring the High Sierras. Great communication, clean space, clear instructions. Thank you!

Kate is a fabulous host who is available to answer all of our questions and provided excellent instructions in terms of check-in and any questions that we had. It is a walk to the ski hill and we were so fortunate that NorthStar remained open for Easter weekend. We had a wonderful Easter holiday at her luxury condo that is equipped with everything that you could possibly need. We enjoyed the restaurants at the Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe along with sitting outside by the fire pits. We also enjoyed an afternoon at the spa which was absolutely amazing !! I would recommend staying at this beautiful condo to anyone looking for a relaxing and fun family vacation !! Thank you Kate we hope to come back soon !!!

5 Stars – A Perfect Lake Tahoe Stay I stayed at this cozy condo in Tahoe Vista for five nights and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is incredible—right across the street from the North Shore of Lake Tahoe and just a five-minute walk to the water. The space was clean, quiet, and peaceful, with a perfectly equipped little kitchen that had everything I needed. Communication with the hosts was smooth and responsive from start to finish. This spot felt like a true retreat, and it’s absolutely a place I’ll be returning to. Highly recommend!
