Lake house vacation rentals in Northern California

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 home is updated and beautiful, the deck and porch are gorgeous. Jeff and Gina were extremely responsive , helpful and kind.

Great place to gather with family and friends. The house was well equipped and kitchen was well stocked and very clean. Rooms and bathrooms are a bit on the smaller side but the common areas are spacious and cozy. The house has just amazing views of Lake Tahoe. We absolutely enjoyed staying here.

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.

Very nice area and house right on the lake. Our Grandson and daughter enjoyed the paddle boat and we had fun fishing. We didn’t catch anything and weren’t sure if there were any fish until a guy in a boat was catching fish by our dock. I’m sure as usual we weren’t using the right bait or lure. 12 year old grandson enjoyed playing basketball at the park nearby but the 7 year old was disappointed the play structure at the park was under construction. But there were other play structures nearby we could drive to.

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.

The whole family had an amazing time. Kids cried when we left. We will be back!

This is a beautiful home located right on the water. The place was clean and the outside deck was a plus! The fridge made a loud buzzing noise during our stay but otherwise everything was perfect. 10/10 -- I'd recommend!

Cozy and affordable place, great location. Alyssa was helpful and accommodating, proving us great sledding recommendations, feedback and advice. Great spot for kids - nice without being fussy. They loved the kids ‘nook’ in the bunk room with old school video games and the loads of games downstairs. Kitchen is tight for multiple people but we made it work.

The rock theme of the house was really cool. The landscaping of the house and the views were amazing. The bed was very comfortable, and there was a great view of the lake from the shower, very aesthetic. Clear and easy instructions for check in and check out. I love the huge DVD collection, lots of classics. And of course, the lake was so pretty and we had a blast kayaking. Overall beautiful location and we had a great stay!

We loved staying at Vasily’s place. It was clean, very spacious, felt like home and the best part was that we could bring our dog. He loved the huge fenced area, our girls loved the bunk beds and the hubby and I loved the spa. We’ll definitely be back!

We had such a great stay here with family and friends over the weekend! The cabin was beautiful, in a great location, and the host was super friendly and responsive. One thing that really stood out was how well-stocked everything was, which isn’t something we’ve typically seen at other Airbnbs. The kitchen had everything we needed, from pots and pans to coffee machines, spices, and seasonings, which was perfect since we did a lot of cooking. Just a heads-up if you’re a coffee person: they provide the machines but not the coffee, so be sure to bring your own! The place was also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus. We loved that there were tons of games, activities, and even outdoor gear to keep everyone entertained. You can tell the host really cares about the guest experience, and we’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Very spacious house, conveniently located close to Lake Blvd, providing a short drive to Kings Beach, Northstar, Tahoe City, and the Alpine and Palisades resorts. The house is quite spacious, with plenty of sitting space, a good kitchen and dining room space. There is room for 4 cars in the driveway, plus one or two in the garage (depending on your parking skills ;-), which is nice. My friends and I are already thinking of trying to rent this lodge again next year (although this review may make it more difficult...). We had a small issue with the hot tub -- it was perfectly usable (it is really big too), but the jets did not function correctly every time. This has been reported and given Madelyn's responsiveness, I am confident that this will be solved.

Our second stay at this sweet little cottage. All the amenities we needed. Super cozy and quiet except for nature sounds. Just what we needed. Bonus points for the really nice shower with the tankless on-demand heating. Hot water all the time.

Inviting house! Instructions for entry were clear. House was wonderful!

Brook’s place is amazing. The location is walking to everything in Kings Beach but also very quiet. The photos don’t do the yard justice, it’s GIANT. The house is spacious and cozy. It is very well thought out and has everything you could need for a long term stay. Brook is a great host, super communicative and friendly. We were so lucky to find the place and can’t wait to be back. Thank you!!!

To wake up in this home and feel above the clouds is absolutely worth the stay alone , but add in the view when it’s clear out and just wow , as my kids would say it’s a flexer , great privacy, neighbors are good people .

This was one of our most amazing stays. The few was spectacular and the whole area was so serene. Close to anything you might need even though you felt like you were a million miles away. The deer and birds made me feel like a Disney princess lol. We were able to walk around the whole property including there other spots. I can’t express how breathtaking the views were and how lovely it was to wake up to it. We will definitely be back!!!

We enjoyed the stay—it was spotless and very peaceful! The checkout process was very thorough. Just make sure you read the instructions thoroughly, that way you won't get charged! Overall, it was a great stay!

Great place to stay with the family. There’s video games, a pool table, kayaks, a giant dog bed, a tv in every room, and space for everyone. The dock parking was great for my husband’s boat, and the lakeside deck was beautiful to watch birds, see fish, and enjoy the weather. The first night we stayed was super windy and rainy, but the house remained quiet and warm inside. Clearlake oaks is a small town but the few restaurants and winery we were recommended were good. Definitely a place great for boating and water activity in the good weather. Elsa was also super responsive and friendly!

Our stay was amazing! The home is even more beautiful than the photos. There was so much space inside and outside. Had a multitude of supplies and overall was very comfortable! Perfect place for family, friends, and furry friends! The hosts were also so kind and responsive. Will definitely be coming back!

Karen was helpful and responsive! Disappointed with the wifi as all guests had issues connecting and maintaining service. The water pressure in kitchen and master bath seemed low, however it wouldn't be a reason to not book. Fire pit area definitely seemed different in pictures, however the property is in a beautiful location! Thank you to the host!

My family went to Lake Wildwood to visit some family and luckily found Iris' house. Her place was ideal! Comfortable and close to a park on the lake, with a wonderful deck to sit on and share about old times as the sun set behind the oaks. And Iris was as available and helpful as you could hope for. We will return for sure.

Roger’s place was wonderful! Very clean and had plenty of space for everything we needed. Unfortunately, we were here for work and weren’t able to enjoy all this place had to offer, but would love to come back again for a vacation! Roger was excellent with the communication and extremely flexible and helpful.
