Recent Northern California guest reviews

Excellent location, about 10 minutes from the lake. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need– a great place for a family vacation! Excellent service! I will recommend it to my friends!
Yuliia T. | Dec 2025
This home is lovely and very comfortable! Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate with cold foggy days during our stay. We would have enjoyed a few more games as we were inside most days. Thank goodness for the set of dominoes!!
Joyce T. | Dec 2025
Absolutely beautiful and everything was so smooth as far as renting goes

Our favorite spots to visit in Northern California

Water lovers will love staying almost anywhere in NorCal, especially since we offer oceanfront, lakefront, and riverfront Northern California vacation rentals. One of the best places to stay for an outdoor adventure on the water is the world famous Lake Tahoe. Not only does the second largest lake in the state offer great fishing, boating, and kayaking experiences, but those who prefer to stay on land can enjoy fantastic hiking excursions in the summer, and world-class skiing in wintertime.

We’re also huge fans of the forests and mountains that cover the Sierra Nevada area, offering plenty to savor for lovers of the outdoors. Home to Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite, among other famous locations, visitors to the region can enjoy one of our many cabin rentals surrounded by nature.

If you’re in the mood for a beach getaway, we have vacation rentals all along the Northern California coast as well, from Mendocino and Fort Bragg to Santa Rosa. Visitors to this area can explore historic towns and award-winning restaurants, all while being steps from miles of sandy beaches.

With such a variety of locations and attractions to offer, Northern California is a great place to visit for every kind of traveller. Vacasa can help you find the Northern California vacation rental that will make your traveling experience unique and memorable.
