Lake house vacation rentals in 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!

Came here to have a quick fun trip with my family and it was worth it. First time using Airbnb and was not disappointed. Linda and Norman were great and so kind. I’ll never forget it. This place was amazing, we couldn’t get over the view and game room! Hope to visit again soon.

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

This was great family experience. Our kids loved fishing and utilizing the paddle boats. Beautiful, peaceful private property. Daniele is very helpful and quick to respond. She has a kind demeanor and is attentive. I love the set up of her place. Very cozy and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this location. We had a wonderful time!! Thank you Daniele!!

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.

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!

Jen and Eric’s place was great - beautiful location, helpful hosts and lot of amenities included. Will definitely be back soon.

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.

Wonderful location within walking distance to shops, restaurants, a library, a playground, and beach. We loved heading out on foot to grab coffee and walk to the ocean, or to the beach along the canal which was so close and uncrowded. Great shower, washer and dryer in the unit, kind and responsive hosts. The window a/c units in each bedroom provided nice climate control. We were very comfortable and would’ve liked to have stayed longer. There is some road noise at night from the close proximity to 2nd street, and cars must be moved on Thursday/Friday due to street sweeping, but I was able to find parking a few blocks away on 2nd St, so I would suggest doing that rather than looking in the neighborhoods.

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 stayed with friends and our little ones! Great space to be together and know your kids are having a great time. Plenty of things to do in the area and Alan communicated so well, we knew we were in good care!

From start to finish, our stay was very relaxing and easy-going.Such a cozy home with plenty of amenities and space. Our personal favorite was the kitchen and dining area. Coming from a huge family who loves to eat and cook. The fridge was perfect and their pantry had plenty of storage. We were so happy to see all the available kitchen tools and pans. The rooms were so fun especially with an apartment attachment to the main house (only if there are 11+guests). It had such a cute set up. Plenty of bathrooms. Amazing views! Lots of places for picture taking on the patios that faced the gorgeous clear lake. Heater system is modern and just takes a while to get to temp but it is a huge house. Main guest room is romantic with a king size bed and same floor as garage. Super beneficial for easy access into the house. Wash and dryer available. Blessed to have had many memories here. You won't regret it especially for a great price. Mark is a super great host.

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.

Place was great. Amazing price! Great property, comfortable beds, spa was of course amazing. We will be back for sure!

Our stay was wonderful! This cabin is not only in a fantastic location but was also perfect for accommodating our three-family group. There was ample parking and a fantastic view of the lake. Even during the off-season, the water level was high enough for us to take the canoe out, which was a treat. Pines Village was just a short, scenic walk away. We loved relaxing on the cozy couch indoors and on the dock to watch both sunrise and sunset over the lake. The cabin is very well-kept; don’t let the word 'rustic' deter you—it’s clean, comfortable, and spacious. We’re already looking forward to staying here again!

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 space in Discovery Bay. Brent was easy to communicate with and the kids loved the skiball machine. The living area is nice and open for several families to hang out together.

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!

Lovely home, able to visit with family and friends in a very nice location. Our host was very hands on and prompt with requests and needs. Will rent again when family in town.

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!

AMAZING!!! We loved this Airbnb the view was beautiful, the inside made you feel like home. Mark was a very nice host we will definitely be booking this pace again for the summer.

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.
