Lake Living on the Water in Lakeport -Private Dock
This place was even better than the pictures (which looked amazing when we booked it). Everything was perfect! Enjoying the day on the back deck was definitely a highlight for my family. The neighborhood felt very safe and was nice to walk around. We can't wait to stay here again!

The Big House on the Lake.
Stunning lakefront home with amazing views and peaceful vibes. Perfect for relaxing or water activities!

Blue Bayou, A Lakefront Paradise on Clearlake
Beautiful home that had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. Home was extremely clean with access right to lake from backyard. We had a great time, and would definitely recommend for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Fish Off the Deck in the Keys 2BR 2BA w/ Boat Dock
Quiet street, very nice deck and dock, and easy access to lake. Home was very clean, well equipped with kitchen equipment and plenty of bedroom/bathroom linens and towels. we only had a couple of questions once there and Robert responded in minutes. very satisfied with service and home.

Dany Lake house remodeled w/ dock/kayak/paddleboat
Place was perfect for kids and I on spring break. Boat dock was awesome, and was a quiet, peaceful spot with lots of birds to watch in the morning. Danielle was awesome, super responsive, and helpful. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

CLO Keys House -Hot Tub & Covered Boat Slip
Jason was very responsive, provided clear instructions. This property exceeded our expectations and the private covered boat slip was incredible. Awesome patio, with bbq to grill, hot tub was well maintained. House was clean with good amount of extra blankets and pillows if needed. Hope to stay again soon!

Whimsical Lakefront Home W/ dock & game room
This place is amazing and such a nice retreat not too far north of the bay area. Often you find an Airbnb that isn’t fully equipped for cooking, bathing, living, etc. but this house is truly “turn key” and has everything you need. Add the grill and backyard space along the lake, and the arcade games, and it makes for a wonderful stay. We would love to stay again and again in the future whenever we need a quick break from the city.

Fire-pit-Lakefront-Clearlake-Lakeport-King-Bed-Ste
We spent the Labor Day weekend here. The house was great - clean and enough spaces for 2 families. The house was at the channel of the clear lake- basically at the entrance of the lake. We brought our inflatable SUP boards and had a great time going into the lake and go look at the houses in the channel. Our kids had a great time in the yard. The kitchen is fully equipped and enough seating for all of us. Definitely recommended!

Ski Condo in Tahoe Paradise Equipped 2BR
Yes it was an amazing place to stay. We felt at home. The shower was amazing because it was a bit cold outside and after hiking all we wanted was a hot shower. Shamus did an amazing Job with checking in via the app to ask if we needed anything during our stay and it was much appreciated 😁. We never got cold during our stay whether the heater was on or not. We would definitely stay here again.

Tahoe Treasure
My family felt very comfortable in Suzanne's condo. There was plenty of room and the amenities were great. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could need. The beds were very comfortable. The best part of the stay was having Suzanne as a host. She was very quick to respond to our questions and gave exact directions to find the condo.

Exclusive Lakeridge studio, top amenities & trails
Really nice spot , host was super accommodating. Clean and easy to get inside.

Downtown Diggs - STEPS to the Beach & Restaurants
Nice location very close to the lake and many restaurants. Clean and comfortable unit, perfect for 4 people for the weekend.

A Midcentury's Night Dream- Oakland
Heidi’s place is one of my best air b n b experiences. Her house is clean comfortable, snacks and cookware made for an easy transition. The apartment was beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like she cares about her guests and their experience. The unit is quiet and parking was always right in front. Really nice cafe nearby. Laundry mat was clean and easy to get a machine on the weekdays. I live in oakland but needed a place to stay for a month and it was a mini vacation staying by the lake. A few times I ran into Heidi as she was out walking her dog, she is a joy.

Peaceful 2 bd Sanctuary by Lake Merritt w Parking!
Loved this place! We’ve been traveling around a lot and seen too many lackluster Airbnbs so this unit was a breath of fresh air. The place was clean! It’s eclectic without being too crowded or busy. The kitchen table is cute, there are great books and lots of lovely stuff to look at. The kitchen is much better stocked than most and Bree was a breeze to communicate with. We needed to add an extra night and she made it super simple and responded quickly. It’s easy to walk the lake and get to restaurants on lakeshore or grand and also the farmers market on Saturdays. There are stairs but they help you get your steps in! We would easily stay here again!

Entire One Bedroom Guest House.
A very comfortable to lay my head after long days. When I come back this way I will look them up first.

Homewood Hideaway's 2 Bedroom Flat
Missy and Sonny were great and super acoomadating. They even gifted us some bubbly for our anniversary. 100% would recommend a stay at their wonderful home.

We love staying here. The house is comfortable and well equipped. There's good food and the lake/beach within walking distance. The hosts are responsive, helpful, and friendly.

Cottage #3 with private Hot-Tub, 15min from Lassen
Awesome place to stay; great cabin in the woods!

Lilac cottage by the Lake
Barbara’s place was great and exactly what we needed for the weekend! It was peaceful and clean, and close to all of our planned activities.

Pine Haus | Lakefront • Kayaks • Hottub • Dogs
Very nicely put together lake front property. Madison was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

Moon on the lake.
Hi my name is David I have stayed at Barbara‘s absolutely gorgeous cute/cozy home on the lake in Lakeport I highly recommend this place to anyone not only the place is nice and clean and comfortable but the location it’s at on the lake is absolutely perfect so yes I give her 100 stars

Deck, close to snow, gourmet kitchen, nespresso
Easy check in, the house has everything you need, easy to use. Bathroom is great and the water pressure pretty good.

Romantic Cottage w/ Hot Tub, 5 Min. Walk to Beach
This lovely home was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend - the fireplace, hot tub and beautiful fenced backyard were incredible, and the well-stocked kitchen were the cherry on top. Tom abs Margie were incredibly communicative & generous hosts. Would absolutely recommend, we are already talking about our return trip!

Gated Lakefront Cottage #5 w/ Fire Pit & Dock
This place is everything you could want for a fishing trip and more! I surprised my husband for his birthday with a stay in Cottage #5, and he loved every minute of it. The views were stunning morning and night, and the dock was just steps from the door—he fished from sunrise to sunset! We grilled steaks and had dinner by the water, and I enjoyed peaceful morning coffee with a view. The cottage was cozy and had all the basics we needed. The bed deserves its own shoutout—super comfortable! No TV, but we brought a projector and watched movies in the living room. Just a heads-up: there were a lot of bugs, which is expected in nature, so definitely bring bug spray. We had to DoorDash some along with candles, though not sure how much they helped. Overall, it was a relaxing and fun trip. We loved it and are already thinking about making this a yearly tradition. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful fishing getaway!
