Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sierra Nevada

Tchukon and Carolyn’s home was great! We were a group of 7 and the space fit us all well. Extremely clean, I think the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The hosts were responsive and included lots of helpful information for the house. Backyard is wonderful, and we all really enjoyed the hot tub, especially at sunset. Would absolutely recommend staying here.

We loved our time here! Not only were Darren and Laura wonderful hosts and communicators, but the property genuinely exceeded our expectations, the Airbnb was MORE beautiful in person than in the photos (hard to believe, I know), and the location of the neighborhood was incredible — high up on a hill of a beautiful and safe neighborhood. 😍 Only recommendation for future guests — book one extra day!! There is so much to do and such little time! We would’ve loved to have one more day to enjoy the Airbnb a little more. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. The entire home was spotless, the running water was warm, and the property was peaceful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get away.

Wonderfully quiet location in the trees next to a tiny creek. Perfect getaway from the city, yet so accessible and decorated with beautifully woven fabrics from the owner’s business.

Beautiful location. House was built mostly of wood, which was very appealing. Clean. Hosts were very nice and responsive. Minimum 30 minutes from shopping and restaurants with mostly two-lane winding roads to get to the major highways. The views were beautiful as you drive especially seeing so many animals roaming freely and feeding on grass. The drive can be wearisome. Wifi on the bottom floor was sketchy when I needed to use zoom for business. Also, there were high winds when we were there in mid-May making it feel colder due to wind chill. Overall, I'd give the experience 4.8 out of 5.

We had a magical stay at this cozy cabin! The cabin was spotless and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The views a night from the deck were breathtaking!! The location was also perfect! The host was also very helpful and responsive. Making our stay seamless! We can’t wait to come back!!

What can be said about Kaweah Cottage except that it is a truly magical retreat!! This lovely cottage is the perfect place if you are seeking nature, solace, and rest for your soul. We will definitely return for future visits when feeling the need to unplug from everything. And who doesn't love having a temporary pet cat who hangs out with you during your stay?! Loved this cottage! Don't hesitate to book. You will be SO glad you did!

Our hosts May and Jason went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and make our stay amazing for us. We chose this house to hold a small wedding ceremony and reception. It was absolutely beautiful inside and out. May and Jason were generous, kind, and easy to work with. Wedding planning was a breeze, and we had a wonderful time from start to finish. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for the love and care that they put into preparing this special day for us. It was truly unforgettable. They are amazing and we wish them the best. We absolutely recommend staying with them ❤️

absolutely loved my stay can't wait to come back. would pick over the bigger fancier places anytime.

We really liked this place. Rural, very scenic. The cabin is very well constructed and well maintained. Nice step-in shower. Good kitchen. Bring food. There aren’t many dining choices nearby. The trading post at Dutch Flat is surprisingly well stocked, which is a good thing because the mini-mart/gas station at the Dutch Flat off ramp is the only other place around to get provisions.

Very thankful for this quaint experience! The kids loved the toys and the very kind neighbor helped make sure we had chargers for all the electric toys.

Really beautiful land and cabin. A very special place. We walked for a few hours everyday around the land with our pup and spent afternoons swimming in the lake (20 min drive). The cabin is super well equipped for cooking, even for a birthday cake! We saw a bunch of wildlife, which was wonderful. Kept our pup on the leash when exploring since he'd probably get himself into trouble. Would absolutely recommend!

Great spot to chill in between exploring the area for hikes

This is our second time staying here and we love it! The grounds are beautiful and there's plenty of space for our family of 4 to relax, sleep and enjoy the outdoor space.

The cottage was very nice, with great views, tall ceilings, huge sliding glass doors, and perfectly set up for two couples. It was extremely clean! We had a great stay!

I’ve stayed at numerous hotels/airbnbs since my first solo trip to Yosemite 6 years ago, & Sierra Meadows is now my go-to after I booked my first stay. Easy, thorough & flexible check-in process, amazing/responsive staff, & has accommodations for any type of travel plans— whether it’s a solo-, couples, or friends/family trip. The site is such a win for so many reasons- they have their own store for essentials/food+drink & if that doesn’t work out, the grocery stores/restaurants are just 5 minutes down the main road for whatever else you need for your trip— **the selling point for me is that the entrance to Yosemite from this site is the iconic Tunnel View, it’s the most convenient, no-brainer site to book ever!!

It was a wonderful experience! This was one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed in through Airbnb. The host prepared so many thoughtful amenities, and there were so many heartwarming touches throughout the trip. Especially, the homemade cookies were amazing ! so delicious and full of love! I truly appreciated the care and attention to detail. it made the stay even more special!

Thanks for having us! The view is amazing. Pool is clean and cool with floaties. Jacuzzi is great. Peaceful location and easy walk to restaurants and stores. Go to Alabama Hills daily easily and still close enough to go to Death Valley for a day trip. Whitney portal road sadly closed for winter. Backyard has great views and the plants are cool. Lots of space inside with two bedrooms with a queen bed, and two living rooms with a tall twin with a pull out trundle twin bed. Jennifer easily reached and responsive. Some house noise at night (random pop or water sound) but otherwise felt at home.

We stayed here to avoid a long commute to the children’s hospital. It was just 10 minutes away, and the area was peaceful and beautiful. The property was excellent for my children (6 & 8) and they took full advantage of the pool, swingset, and toys in the yard. Additionally, the casita was neat and had everything we needed. The cold AC was welcome on a hot day. Chuck was clear, responsive, and made us feel right at home. Should we have additional visits, we will definitely be returning!

The geodome is a unique stay. The cabin was comfortable and and well-styled. An added bonus is that there's plastic kid-friendly bowls, plates, and cups so we didn't need to worry about our young ones breaking anything. The open layout was ideal for our family to socialize while cooking and there's a cute play area upstairs with toys for the kids. The neighborhood was quiet and we were able to soak in the stars a night next to the fire pit. Maria was super responsive to all of my messages (responded in a few minutes), which was helpful when I couldn't turn on the washer/dryer since the breaker had tripped. Maria helped me locate the electric panel to flip the breaker and there wasn't any further nuisance tripping. We enjoyed staying at Maria and Jared's geodome and would come back again!

This wonderful little cabin was a great place to spend a getaway weekend with my son. The peaceful, wooded surroundings provided the relaxing backdrop I was looking for and my son was delighted with the wood burning stove. He discovered that the pine cones that were suggested as fire starters did a great job and he had a great time replenishing their supply from the woods around the cabin.

The house is as described and as in the photos. Check-in was very easy, as was check-out. The house is very nice and comfortable, with everything you need for an excellent stay (we even grilled on the BBQ). A special mention for Christine, who was very kind and very attentive!

Nick was wonderful! His place is great for a relaxing weekend. Thank you for sharing your place

the place was great as described. in spring time it's not walk to slopes but everything else is as described.
