Holiday rentals with a kayak in California

Great location for a family Thanksgiving weekend. The home is larger in person than the photos. Beautifully furnished & top of the line appliances & bedding . We would highly recommend.

I was so sad to leave the River House! It was peaceful and private even with hosts on the same plot of land. The house is beautiful and full of thoughtful details, and we loved spending slow mornings reading and playing piano taking in the natural surroundings. We originally chose to stay here because the house itself looked amazing and like a lot of fun for our dogs to play in the River, then we fell in love with Ukiah too. We hope to come back and kayak when it’s warmer out. Thanks for having us

We were super happy with the location of the home! Very walkable, loved that we were steps from both the bay and the ocean! Lower patio and rooftop were our favorite places to take in the evenings! Water toys were abundant and we enjoyed using the kayaks out in the bay. It was a little difficult to control the temperature in the home, but nothing that would deter us from returning. That may have been an "us" problem, too. Only other "quirk" I would mention is that you have to walk through a bathroom to get to the 2nd bedroom. Again, not that big of a deal, especially when traveling with kids. Overall, the house was perfect for our family of 3. Nick was very responsive when I reached out. Neighbors were friendly. Great recommendations for places to eat. Highly suggest Kono's! We all said we would definitely stay here again on a return trip! Thank you, Nick for such a great stay!!

Loved our stay at Joseph’s home- the view is amazing and the home was cozy and had everything we needed- the area was cute and we enjoyed our walks around the lake area- you won’t be disappointed

What a lovely spot for a little family getaway weekend. We loved the view and spent time on the water. Even my teenager said it was so beautiful and comfy. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your space, Tom!

Jodi and Dan's house is cute, clean and comfortable and we had the loveliest stay. The kitchen is set up perfectly and makes staying in for meals very convenient. The beds have nice linens and are comfortable and the master bathroom is particularly beautiful. There are speakers around the house that make listening to music easy and everything in the house is easy to find. Getting the kayaks into the river is a bit of an adventure with the marshy area, but it is worth it once you are out enjoying the river. The river really is the highlight of staying here. I also apprecaited the outdoor shower with warm water to clean up from the river. We hope to stay again because this house is a true gem. Thank you, Jodi and Dan!

We absolutely loved the beautiful home that was decorated with a beach theme. Very comfortable with lots of amenities including a fully stocked kitchen, huge TV and one in every bedroom, outside deck with loungers and table w/ chairs and bbq. The beds were very comfortable and our family loved the location and attention to detail. Plus Laura was quick in answering questions and providing information about the area. We will return to enjoy the watercrafts there and boating access. Thank you, Laura!!

We, my group of 4 women, a weekend retreat, were relaxed and comfortable. We cooked most of our meals and found most things we needed. (We always bring things we don't expect a basic kitchen to have.) For basic cooking it was well stocked and with coffee, spices too. Shopping was just a few minutes away and restaurants also. A great place and we would stay again. Thank you Madison.

House matches pictures exactly - well worth it for a nice getaway. The road is typical for the area - it is narrow towards the last bit but it is fine. People were driving large SUVs up the hill with no issue. It was nice that this Airbnb is dog friendly and doesn’t have crazy outlandish rules like others in the area. The only feedback I have is I don’t like when Airbnbs have extensive checkout rules. I always find it odd to pay a cleaning fee but also be required to do a lot of pre cleaning in advance like loading the dishwasher and stripping the beds. Other than that, no complaints. Would definitely come back again as it’s convenient for the area and close enough but still feels quiet and secluded.

We had a great stay at Katy and Toryn's place! They were really communicative and kind and the place was beautiful, comfortable, and appointed with everything we needed and more. It was also just such a lovely spot on the bay--we felt very lucky to get to enjoy it for a few days. Thank you!

My partner and I enjoyed a lot this dream Airbnb. We had a very relaxing weekend and the place was very well decorated, cosy and surrounding by nature. We can't wait to come back

Is it fancy? No. But it is reasonably priced, in a convenient location, has a great hot tub, and a wonderful host.

What an amazing place ! We really loved our stay here ! Great location , super clean , comfortable beds , amazing views & right on the river, this place is a true gem & we can’t wait to return . Everything was clear & easy to access , we loved its proximity to both Guenerville & Duncan Mills for fun little day trips along with the convenience of nearby eateries & a market .

Really peaceful and at the same time very well located close to Mount Shasta supermarket and various places you can eat. Kitchen spotless, really well stocked which was great on Christmas day - our son made pancakes for us in the morning :) Recommend and will definitely book again.

What a fantastic place! My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend and couldn't have been happier. The cabin is cute, cosy, lovely and very functional. It has beautiful old world charm with modern amenities like nest heating. The deck is large and was wonderful sitting by the firepit at night. The view of the river and the redwoods was captivating. The neighbourhood is quiet and lovely to walk around. Everything we needed was there and Amber was a delight to deal with and very communicative. We want to come back in summer time and think we found our favourite Russian River hideaway.

If you're planning an escape in the Duncan Mills area, this is the place you want to be. It is conveniently located as a great jumping off point for all the local area has to offer or provides the perfect place for relaxation and reflection if that's what you need. Karen is a super host and very responsive should anything arise. The amenities at the River cottage cannot be understated. From the stocked kitchen to outdoor decks and gardens complete with hot tub and outdoor soaking tub there is something for everyone. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to another visit in the future. Consider a stay at Mama K's River Cottage, you'll be glad you did.

Great relaxing home. The beds are comfortable and the interior is well appointed. Location is right on the river and has a great view of the redwoods and the river. Home is a bit older and kitchen supplies (knives and such) are a bit run down but nothing major to complain about. All in all a great stay and nice property.

My family and I had a wonderful time. A beautiful and cozy home with all the perfect accommodations and amenities. Our only regret was we wish we could have stayed longer. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a delightful stay at this rustic cabin in the woods. The place is spotless and the host has thought of everything. Movies, books, games, firewood, lots of cozy blankets, well lit—and we loved the hot tub. We even hiked the trail right by the house. Easy in and out. Responsive and friendly host.

Very nice and accommodating host.

Beautiful location facing the lake, walking distance to the little town of Crestline. I really enjoyed the set up, it had a large family room with a kitchen dining room table and fireplace then a separate den with tv. We found ourselves navigating to each area depending on what we were doing. It was nice not having a tv and just enjoying the company. The views were breathtaking as well.

First impression opening door to cabin-WOW! I wanted a quiet place among the trees and that’s exactly what it is. Sandy and Lynne were so friendly and accommodating, they make you feel like a welcomed neighbor. Tree views out of every window. Smell of forest overwhelmed my senses, host’s loving huggable dogs were a bonus, even walking grounds smelling burning wood was wonderful. Didn’t do any trails but maybe next time because this place beckons me to return.

Laura was an incredible host. She responded promptly to texts and calls with the many questions I had. She was always very helpfull, very pleasant and accommodating. We were delighted with our stay.

So glad we booked this beautiful cabin! As two couples on a US road trip, it was just perfect! We stayed for a couple of days, loved the river, the sound of frogs in evening, the walks, the giant Sequoias, the local eateries and shops - literally everything was perfect. Thanks Rod - we want to come back!!
