Recent Northern California guest reviews

This home is absolutely beautiful! We had a wonderful time relaxing by the fire and enjoying the beautiful views. I would highly recommend staying here. We can’t wait until our next stay!

We loved the constant sightings of deer and wild turkeys. The neighborhood was in a great setting and located close to Columbia and Yosemite, not to mention charming Groveland.

Cantus Cove Estate was so beautiful that once I got there, the four-hour drive I had been concerned about suddenly seemed nothing but a short trip. It’s so worth it! The house has state-of-the-art appliances in a fully remodeled kitchen, and it is so close to the water that every bedroom has full ocean views. Sipping hot coffee (provided by them) and watching the cold Pacific Ocean waves crash against the coast was a welcome break from the hustle bustle of daily life. Spending three nights at Cantus Cove Estate helped me recharge, and regain perspective on life. All that to say thank you to the great hosts who own this jewel of a place! Whether you’re local, or need to drive a few hours or fly in, Cantus Cove Estate is a must-visit destination and an experience that will stay with you forever. It’s also a great base from which to explore the Mendocino coast.

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.
