Recent Northern California guest reviews

A nice place to relax.
Janie M. | Mar 2026
The condo was perfect for the 3 of us - loved the location(especially appreciated that it was walkable to the great walking path in town, and to fabulous coffee (the shop at the corner has the friendliest staff ever!).
Helen B. | Mar 2026
What a view. Makes up for a place that is older and a bit worn on the edges. The kitchen is fine for a weekend away. The living room is comfortable but the floors need refinishing. Main bedroom has a nice view and a small shower. The other two bedrooms are comfortable but a tad dark. But this house is about the view. It’s spectacular.
