Perfect lake front private vacation home.

SamiRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This was our second time staying here & like the first, it did not disappoint. I can definitely see it becoming our come-to spot. It really has everything you need inside & out, for a nice, peaceful, relaxing time on the lake. We really enjoy our time here. The weather was perfect & fishing was great. The lake had a bit more algae this time, but that’s always iffy here & didn’t take away from being able to enjoy our time here. The nights were clear & cool & perfect for stargazing. Jeff is a fantastic host, kind & very responsive.

The Big House on the Lake.

KianaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I recently stayed at the big house in Topaz and had an amazing experience. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet neighborhood but still close to all the main attractions. The host was incredibly welcoming and provided detailed information about the area, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The place itself was spotless and beautifully decorated. The amenities were top-notch, including a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, and fast Wi-Fi. I especially loved the cozy living area where I could relax after a day of exploring. Overall, I highly recommend Pamela’s place to anyone visiting the area. It exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can’t wait to come back!

Amazing place to stay if you’re in Clearlake. Very calm neighborhood, big open feel to the home & everything was as described and clean. We managed to catch a catfish from the dock! Really appreciate how amazing the host is with communication and I will definitely be booking again. Thanks Daniele!

Everything was great and would love to visit again. There was enough of space to fish. There’s a lot of bait fish as well, so have your casting net……. We really enjoyed our trip to your home.

Whimsical Lakefront Home W/ dock & game room

ChristineRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Lot of thought and personality put into Jason and Fiona’s home. :) It was a Lakehouse getaway with my family celebrating my husband’s bday with my young boys 6 and 3 and our dog Tofu. Communication over messages with Jason before booking, upon checking in and out was helpful in planning what to bring to lakehouse (wanting to stay in and cook more), local recommendations, etc. We loved the tub and brought our bath bombs, kitchen basics for home cooked meals, board games galore, fun decorations throughout the home, arcade/game room, backyard firepit (s’mores fun) and hammock (bit withered) and dock access to lake with nice view where husband tried to fish but it maybe not the season with how cold and rainy off/on, tempted to use paddle board but it was too cold during our stay. Dog friendly with pooper scooper in backyard too. Fits comfortably with 2 beds for our family of 4 and our pup enjoyed sleeping on their cozy rug. :) Ty for our lovely stay!

AkieRating, 5 stars5 months ago
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!

Lakefront family retreat!

CathyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The place looks exactly like the photos. View from backyard is breathtaking. Would love to return in the summertime to use the pool. We had a great time! Although we didn’t catch any fish from the dock (likely due to shallow waters because home is located in a cove), it was still a fantastic trip!

Exclusive Lakeridge studio, top amenities & trails

DeborahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beautifully appointed unit with a peaceful and private vibe. Nature all around, but still close to everything the Granite Bay/Roseville area has to offer. I personally appreciated the functional workspace that didn’t detract from the room’s decor, and the responsive hosts.

Peaceful 2 bd Sanctuary by Lake Merritt w Parking!

PhilipRating, 5 stars1 month ago
What a wonderful neighborhood. Located next to beautiful Lake Merritt, cafe next door and great pizza a block away, the property was a wonderful place to spend time. City bikes are nearby so getting around without a car was quite easy. Lots of restaurants and shops just a short walk away. Definitely would recommend.

Rustic romantic condo Lake Tahoe with beach

BeccaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Very convenient location, cozy room, and communicative host. The space was exactly as advertised. I would recommend bringing your own cooking basics(there are plates/pots/ect but no salt for example) and toiletries (eg shower was stocked with shampoo and hand soap but not body wash) but the Safeway is very close if you forget anything.

Luxury Boutique Cabins On The Lake & In The Trees

RebeccaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Lovely cabin. Perfect for two families. We had a total of 5 kids ages 2yrs old to 14 years old and they all had a wonderful time. Plenty of space. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The access to the trails was an added benefit and we also realized we could walk to the village as well. The kitchen had everything we needed, we did a lot of cooking and baking. Stores and restaurants close by made the location even better. Highly recommend. Our hosts were lovely and checked in on us and responded quickly during our stay.

Romantic Cottage w/ Hot Tub, 5 Min. Walk to Beach

JaredRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My wife and I booked a last minute weekend for us and our two small children (3 and 5). Tom & Margie's cabin was perfect for our purposes. My kids were happy with the bunk-beds, we were comfortable in the home, living room and all rooms were all cozy and warm. The furnace/fireplace was a nice touch. All rooms were amply warm in the middle of winter. The kitchen was good for some basic cooking. For the Summer each room for sleeping has AC units installed which is a nice touch. We used the hot tub while the kids napped, which was great. Big yard for outdoor activities. We would stay again!

The Palisades Cottage -Modern Lakeside Cabin

DianeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We enjoyed a relaxing stay in the mountains at this Airbnb. It had everything we needed and more. We made great family memories as we unwound together around the holidays. We spent most of our outdoor time walking around the lake with our dog. We checked out a few nearby places Jade recommended but spent most of our time just enjoying being together at the cottage. It had everything to make our stay comfortable. It was clean, spacious, had lovely decorations for the season and was everything we wanted. Jade was a great hostess who promptly answered or responded to us. My kids wish we could stay longer!
