Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sonoma County

This property is amazing in every way. There’s a view from the ocean from almost every room, beautiful tile work and gorgeous, well appointed bathrooms. A sauna and extra hot hot tub. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The house itself is beautiful with private spaces, but also a large living room where everyone can gather around a beautiful tiled potbelly fireplace. It’s a short walk to the beach through a charming neighborhood. The host Rebekah was very communicative and generous, allowed us flexible, check-in and check out. I will 100% be staying here again.

Mary's cabin was a delightful stay! It's nestled in a charming little town. Coming from the city, being sorrounded by towering redwood trees felt magical, especially when stepping outside just before sunrise, breathting in the crisp air, and listening to the soothing sounds of nature. During our stay we explored Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, Johnson's Beach, and even took a quick trip down to San Francisco which is just an hour and half away. Overall, great spot!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary trip. It was the perfect place, Kathy was very friendly and gave us so many recommendations around town to check out! The pool and hot tub were very clean and the perfect temperature. She even gave us a welcome bottle of wine and breakfast goodies! Definitely would recommend staying here to all my friends and family.

Quintessential Russian River home! From the moment you walk through the gate, you're transported to a lush, private oasis. We loved the variety of seating and decor. Evenings were cozy and we quickly felt at home. Perfectly located for exploring town and unbeatable for birdwatching. We didn’t want to leave. A perfect Airbnb—thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! The hosts, Lynn and John, were friendly and welcoming. We brought our baby and they left out a booster seat, child plates/bowls, toys, and made up the crib for him! We were able to do a barrel tasting, which was fantastic! We loved the hot tub and the garden. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the corn hole and fire pit! Will have to come back!

Absolutely wonderful place, the photos don't do it justice. You can tell that this is not just a vacation rental as a lot of love and care has gone into the home and it has everything you could need to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. Communication was always quick, friendly and proactive. Would love to visit again one day!

Our stay was lovely! The beds and linens were comfortable and the rooms were quiet. The entire home was well stocked and it felt like a second personal home in terms of the quality of items - sharp knives, well stocked pantry for cooking basics, foil, etc. We brought two dogs and it was a paradise for them. The outdoor area is truly magical. The fire pit is great, the downstairs dog shower is handy, and the landscaping is sublime.

I loved this place. It was beautifully decorated and had amazing views. The pool was an added benefit on hot days! It’s somewhat small for a group because it only has one bedroom but still worth the experience.

Linda’s home in Glen Ellen was perfect! We were minutes from some great wineries and walking distance into town (restaurants, grocery store, bar, etc). The house is so inviting, we spent time reading, relaxing, and enjoying the backyard. We’ll definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home with incredible views. Perfect hosts and would stay here again in the future!

Chris’s place was the perfect cozy getaway! Every inch of the guest house was thoughtfully designed and well-equipped with everything we needed. The views were beautiful, the space was clean and welcoming, and the dogs were so sweet and friendly. It was the ideal escape for our Emily. Chris was a great host—warm, helpful, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend!

We loved staying at Bobby's place in Santa Rosa! The description and photos were accurate, and everything went smoothly while staying there.

The view is spectacular in this lovely private location. It's off the beaten path, but if you have a car, it's a wonderful place to stay.

This place is a real gem. It was so quiet, very clean and very comfortable with absolutely everything that we needed. The house managers went above and beyond to help us and were very friendly and available. We felt right at home. The area is also stunning, very close to great hikes, beautiful beaches, and the town of occidental has some great restaurants, as well as Bodega and Sebastopol which are close by.

We stayed at Erin's wine country cottage for a few days as our "home base" while in town for the Food & Wine Event. Their studio unit cottage was cozy, and welcoming. We ate out and didn't use kitchenette beyond making coffee, but I noticed that it looked well stocked! The bed was comfy, which made for good sleep at night. The cottage location is great as it's close to the freeway yet still in a quiet, rural setting next to a vineyard, and just about a mile or so from downtown (we walked to town every day). Erin (& Tom) are both exceptional hosts. They're friendly, helpful, and have great recommendations for restaurants & wineries. Can't forget Hurley the lab... he's super friendly too!

Thank you, Peter. We enjoyed our stay. Great location between Napa and Calistoga. Kitchen well stocked for our needs. Home was comfortable for our family. Private, secure and peaceful. Communication was easy and responsive! Hope to come back another time…….

We had a fantastic time at Christina's place in Sonoma. It was our second time staying at this place, so we knew what to expect. There was a slight glitch getting in the front door, but Christina was immediately available by text and had us taken care of in no time. All in all we loved the house and Christina was a wonderful host.

We came a second time to Fred’s river home oasis. Our kids love the grounds and the stream is so peaceful. Pool is delightfully warm and with a Forest view. Come here for a nature escape. We will be back!

Kelli’s place is utterly charming and feels like a little private garden oasis. Highly recommend !

We had a great stay at this spacious and well-equipped home in Sonoma! The house had everything we needed, and the outdoor space was a definite highlight—clean, warm pool and a beautiful area to relax in. Check-in was super easy, and the door code worked without any issues. The location was perfect for our trip—we used a local driving service to take us to wineries in Napa, which worked out really well. A few small things to note: the beds weren’t the most comfortable, and one of the twin beds was pretty squeaky. We also would’ve appreciated more towels since there were four of us. The en-suite shower could use some attention—it’s older and came across a bit dingy. Overall, it was a solid stay and we’d definitely consider coming back!

This was such a beautiful place to stay. We came for a bachelorette weekend and it was the perfect home base for our events! It was close to restaurants, grocery stores and wineries! My favorite part of the house was the garden and outdoor seating area where I hosted an italian inspired dinner complete with lemons and herbs from the garden! Jennifer was very responsive and even called me before we left to make sure I had the dishes I needed for the dinner. Thank you!

Great Host. Me and my Fiance would definitely stay again. Super comfy beds.

We had an amazing stay at Mike’s place in Sebastopol! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this home was something special. The house is tucked away in a peaceful, secluded setting with stunning views of gardens, trees, and nature all around—total serenity. Inside, the space was a vibe. Tons of room to spread out, unique and stylish decor, and thoughtful touches throughout. One of our favorite features was the house manual, which wasn’t just informative—it included fascinating stories and history about the property that made the stay feel even more personal and memorable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the full bar setup (complete with signature cocktail ideas!) was such a fun bonus. Whether we were lounging indoors or enjoying the scenery outside, we felt completely at home. Mike was an exceptional host—super responsive, friendly, and helpful with anything we needed. Would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone!

We loved staying at the Masia. It is a completely relaxing setting in Cazadero, perfect for a family vacation. We especially enjoyed the sounds of the creek, swimming in the pool, playing foosball and watching movies together in the living room. The kitchen was well stocked and thoughtfully provisioned. Sam was above and beyond helpful and responsive.
