Family-friendly vacation rentals in Occidental

We had an excellent stay, and our family trip to Sonoma and Napa Valley was fabulous! We definitely would stay here again.

Cozy and welcoming. Beautiful location. Well supplied kitchen. Comfortable bed. Wonderfully clan and spacious hot tub. Will recommend in the future!

We stayed here for a girls weekend getaway and it was perfect. The back courtyard is stunning and it’s walkable to some great spots! Plenty of space and super cozy. Belinda was super friendly and responsive to any questions we had. Can’t recommend enough!

We had a great time and loved the house! It’s stylish, well maintained and is in a great location. Some previous reviews mentioned cleanliness issues, however house was well cleaned and had new amenities. We will be back!

Nancy & Curt were amazing people. I had a hard time easing into the fact that they were on an attachment to the house - I think this should be stated upfront - but they were very kind, helpful, and laid back. The hot tub was fantastic. The game room was incredible. The property out of this world, like Narnia from The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. Would stay longer and stay another time if I could!

We really really like this place. Time moves slower, and it feels very restorative, even if it’s just a weekend. Will easily go again.

My little family was in desperate need of a getaway and some quality family time. Jeannette's house was just what we needed. It was a cold and wet weekend in Rio Nido, but that was fine by us. The surrounding area is so beautiful and peaceful, and we had the most lovely dog walks exploring the area. The home itself was incredibly comfortable and cozy and had everything we needed. The heated blankets were a nice touch! We made excellent use of the hot tub, and spied some cool wildlife from our very comfortable position in the jacuzzi. My daughter was very excited for the hot cocoa K-cup pods and I certainly appreciated the coffee options. The neighborhood was very quiet (I'm guessing because we were there in Feb. and not the more popular summer season). Having the Roadhouse so close was convenient, but we mostly did our own cooking. Friendly heads up that the smoke detectors are very sensitive (a good thing!) so turn on fan and open windows before cooking on the stove! :)

I'm tempted to only say horrible lies about this place, because I want to keep this gem all to myself. But I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this place. The location was gorgeous, the interior design was beautiful, and the hot tub in the middle of the redwoods was just the cherry on top.

I had a magic few days at Lori and Mike's. I drive a VW passat and I found the drive up the mountain to be non-challenging and even very fun by the end. The hosts are cool and easy to get along with. A+ doggo. Hot tub was great. Pool was fun. I usually stay in SF when I'm in the Bay Area. This was much more lovely and relaxing, with SF close enough that going in for dinner or a show felt like it wasn't a big deal. 100% would recommend this place. I brought my cat and had my lady friend with me for a night. Everyone loved it.

Absolutely stunning view and very private location. Plenty of room for our group and we especially appreciated the dog run off the master bedroom for convenience for our pup. The house has everything you need and the upstairs living areas are a bit more updated. Very comfortable to hang out and just enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. The deck was perfect. Host was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay.

Great stay! Super easy and convenient check in. Linda was very communicative. Great alternative stay for going to Harbin Hot Springs. The space was super cute and had everything needed to accommodate our stay. Highly recommend!

Lovely artist’s cottage! The owner’s art and collections are on display, I kept seeing something new every day. Very comfortable and easy to walk to the beach or into town. Had a relaxing and comfortable stay. Slept really well!!

Amy was very responsive and really sweet. Although older the place was very clean, so much cleaner than many other places I've stayed. I would stay there again.

Lisa and Dana were fantastic hosts. Quite possible the cleanest AirBnb we have ever stayed as well, absolutely spotless. Very calm and quiet area, you can even walk to downtown Sebastopol. We will absolutely be back to this flat!

This is an amazing place to stay! First of all, 1/3 acre in Monte Rio, fully FENCED, and next to a CREEK, is rare. Our senior dog LOVED it! Lorri thought of everything. From the dog towel, to the instructions on how to start and operate the fire pit and grill. It was all so inviting. The house-book is a must-read. We were greeted with chocolate chip and walnut cookies which were wonderful to snack on after a nearly 4 hour drive. Sweet Creek is EXTREMELY pet friendly but you still have to be a responsible pet owner and pick up after your pets and the basic things like dry their feet off and drape any furniture with sheets if they lay down on them. The picture board of animals who've stayed there, and the wonderful binder full of thank you notes was just so touching. We felt like we were staying at a friends house, not airbnb. We can't say enough with the character count left. Sweet Creek is a must! We will RETURN!

My stay at Allen's place was great. It was an easy walk to the dog park, a small grocery and lots of restaurants. What really stood out was how much he really meant "dog friendly". There were toys, a dog bed, blankets to cover the furniture, towels for muddy paws and more. And the fenced in backyard was just perfect. Also, he was super responsive to the one small hiccup I ran into. Overall, I would definitely stay again.

Linda’s place was great. It was clean and comfortable and the location was great. A quick walk into the adorable town of Glen Ellen. The backyard is gorgeous and the spa pool was a fun perk to enjoy.

Had an amazing stay at Gina’s house for a girls retreat weekend. The house is amazing with really good vibes! Kitchen was fantastic for cooking group meals and overall could not have asked for a better place!

My friends and I had a fantastic stay at Tina's home! Tina was so welcoming and offered flexible check-in/out times. She also left a bottle of wine for us in the fridge. The home is in a beautiful, rural part of Sonoma. It's such a peaceful and private location, but close to everything! We enjoyed watching the hot air balloons above the backyard in the morning and going on walks/runs from the house. The house is clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed! The weather was warm, so we were able to enjoy the pool and hot tub. I can't wait to come back with my family!

Peaceful location with beautiful patio overlooking the golf course. Kitchen was fully stocked, beds were comfortable, and you can’t beat the location. I appreciate Kristina’s quick responses and flexibility on check-in time.

The most incredible home and location!! So far exceeded our expectations!! The setting was gorgeous and serene and perfectly located - short drive to amazing restaurants and vineyards!! We’re already searching for our next opportunity to visit this amazing property!! Couldn’t recommend it more!!!

I almost don't want to tell you how good this place is, so we can rent it again sometime. :-) But it's that good. We visited over spring break with our daughters, eight and 11, and had one of the most amazing stays we've ever had at an Airbnb. The home, the land, the pool, and the local area are all 100% amazing. And the sunsets. You know how you sometimes stay at Airbnb's where you feel like the hosts did the bare minimum to qualify to list it? This is *not* that place. There is everything you need and more. Thank you so much SatKartar!

The house was exactly as described and comfy. Plenty of room for 8, and in a quiet neighborhood. We didn’t use the pool but it looked so inviting for summertime! Great place to stay with a group. Thanks!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Stay – Highly Recommend! We had an incredible stay at Jennifer’s place! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless – check-in was easy, the space was spotless, and the attention to detail was outstanding. The home was beautiful, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We celebrated my wife’s 50th birthday with 7 other close friends. Jennifer was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing great local recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to wonderful Michelin guide restaurants like Valley and Glen Ellen Star, and also close to amazing vineyards like Benzinger. This made it easier to plan the event. The house was just right for us, with a hot tub for relaxation and a serene, untouched backyard filled with olive trees, perfect for enjoying breakfast. If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate – you won’t be disappointed. We’d love to stay here again in the futu
