Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Hillside Retreat in the Redwoods w/ Hot Tub
We stayed at Rascal’s Flat for four days to celebrate our birthdays, just my wife and I. However it is equipped for people with dogs and children. Make sure your first time at the property is during the day! The road up is not that long but twisty and narrow. We absolutely loved it and had a wonderful stay! Would go back again!

Stunning Sauna Cottage Retreat on Private Vineyard
My husband and I spent 3 nights at the lodge for our one year wedding anniversary. It is located on the same property as their vineyard which makes for a beautiful, serene view and setup. During our stay, we did a very personal wine tasting with David in the main house. It truly is a cool experience and unlike any other wine tasting I have done before, not to mention the wine was very good! The lodge itself is cozy and relaxing with a private back patio looking into the trees and nature. I wasn’t so sure about the outdoor shower at first but it was actually really nice! Water warmed up really fast and the view is amazing. The bed is located upstairs which was very comfortable and cozy with plenty of pillows and blankets. If you have trouble with mobility, the stairs leading to the bedroom are not easy to navigate and there are more stairs from the parking lot to the lodge with some uneven ground at times. If you are fine with stairs and some walking, it is well worth it!

"Just A Minit" Bolinas Cottage
Lovely artist’s cottage! The owner’s art and collections are on display, I kept seeing something new every day. Very comfortable and easy to walk to the beach or into town. Had a relaxing and comfortable stay. Slept really well!!

Story-Book Cottage in the Heart of Wine Country
This is a charming place, beautifully kept with lovely furnishings. We really enjoyed the well appointed kitchen as we cooked every day. The yard and gardens are beautifully kept, peaceful and serene. Oranges growing right outside the house! We were in town for a wedding, and Santa Rosa is right in the middle of so many enjoyable things to do. We hiked on the CCT out past Bodega Bay, enjoyed restaurants in Healdsburg, visited the redwoods and shopped at the Barlow in Sebastopol. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your lovely home. We had a fabulous time!

WiLD Vines Winery and Farm Cottage
This was a perfect spot for a personal retreat. I loved everything from the decor to the comfy bed to the private hot tub and well tended garden. I would love to come back again.

Andrea's Hidden Cottage
Super cute little spot. Walking distance to Sonoma Plaza and it had a private hot tub. Good distance from some vineyards and wineries as well!

Napa Wine Country Retreat - Villa
This home is absolutely beautiful! The outside is gorgeous and relaxing. The outdoor patio and hot tub are amazing! The location is also fabulous. We went to the Bothe-Napa state park and the Castello di Amorosa both of which were only 15min away as is downtown Calistoga which is really cute. We really enjoyed our stay!! The only slightly problematic feature is the toilet, it doesn’t really work.

Riverwood Cottage - Hot Tub, Direct River Access!
Our family of three had a wonderful time at Riverwood! We appreciated the thoughtful touches -tea kettle, garlic press, as well as books and guides to local history, flora and fauna. The home was clean and comfortable, and the grounds were enchanting! Buttercups bloomed along the path to the river, and the redwood trees towered overhead. The back porch offered a gorgeous view and vantage point to enjoy the birds and wildlife! Don't forget your binoculars! While it was foggy during our springtime stay, the hot tub, claw foot bathtub and fireplace kept us cozy. Town, river beaches, Armstrong Redwoods state park and Jenner by the Sea are all easily accessible from the property's location. Riverwood was a very peaceful and beautiful place to be! Sangeeta was a communicative and attentive host. We had a seamless stay, and no problem finding the property. Communication and directions were all very clear and detailed. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Cute Wine Country Cottage
We had a great experience at Caroline and Tim’s place! Walkable to Santa Rosa’s downtown area with lots of cafes, restaurants, and bars! Will keep this place in mind for a return visit to the area!

Seaside Sanctuary • Perched Over the Bay • Dogs OK
The first thing you notice is the waves from all directions. You immediately feel at peace. All the amenities were easy to locate and good quality, including great pots and pans, knives dishes and gadgets for cooking. There were extra linens and towels, it was comfy upstairs and down. It was well laid out and you look out at Point Reyes and Tomales Bay while lying in bed upstairs. The stairs were quite steep but there was a nice bedroom downstairs as well. I enjoyed the heated ceramic floor in the downstairs bathroom and there was good water pressure. We loved the wide wraparound deck and dock, as well as outdoor tables and a garden. The beds and sofas were all very good quality and comfortable and it was nice to have the fireplace. The dog had room to sniff and roam safely at will as the decks and garden were well enclosed. Hog Island is one minute away, Tony’s five minutes away for the chowder, and truly awesome pizza at Route One on the way to the dog beach at Dillon. Thanks!

Garden house with gas fireplace
pleasant and cozy stay. definitely recommend to unwind and relax

Cozy Creekside Wine Country Retreat #2
Collin's place was so lovely and peaceful! We had a great time and really enjoyed having the creek right outside the bedroom. Collin was kind enough to give us some recommendations for places to eat that we really enjoyed!

WALK TO TOWN- Lovely/private Cottage - FAST WIFI
Overall we had a good stay at Susan’s rental. She was very nice and communicative. It was very quiet and the bed was comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals. Large refrigerator. Regular drip coffee pot. Very close to downtown Mill Valley so you can walk into town easily. There seemed to be a few other renters on this property, and our rental was the very back unit. The walkway down the length of the front house was a bit tight, with 2 gates. It was farther than we expected to load/unload bags. Just a heads up - Parking was a bit tricky because this property is on the main avenue (Blithedale).
Casa Venida by the Beach, Light & Stylish Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this charming house by the beach. The location was perfect—just a few houses away from the beach, which made it super convenient for our family. The house itself was spotless when we arrived and had a warm, welcoming feel. It was very family-friendly, with thoughtful touches that made it easy to relax with kids and our dog. Overall, it was a perfect spot for a laid-back beach getaway, and we’d absolutely love to come back. Highly recommend for families or anyone traveling with pets!

Sundog - EV - Walk to Beach & Food - Yard for Dog
Valerie was a gracious host and the home was very comfortable and well appointed for our family of four. As our first time in Dillon Beach, we could not have booked a better location and home to stay in. Everything was clean and beautiful throughout, with furnishings and details all perfected. We look forward to staying again.

Sonoma Mountain Artist's Retreat
We stayed with Michelle while on a girls' trip to Sonoma & Napa valley. We couldn't have asked for a better stay! The house is beautiful and the sunsets were spectacular. Michelle went above & beyond to accommodate us and make our stay wonderful. Can't recommend highly enough!

Being very close to the beach and walking distance to the town center makes this spot so wonderful. We love it here and plan to be back soon! Thanks 🪻

Trixie's Studio Garden Cottage
Tina and her partner were very welcoming and responsive. The cottage is darling and they were very thoughtful in how they set it up The garden is relaxing! Wonderful stay!

Private Charming Poolside 1 BD/BA in Sonoma Valley
We hope to return to this location with family and friends. This property has 2 AirBnB cottages. They are nestled by beautiful gardens with a view of the mountains. Easy access to many vineyards, excellent restaurants, hikes, and the Charles Shultz Museum. We slept amazingly well with the comforts of home. Linda was a very gracious host and she even gifted us with a jar of her delicious homemade jelly. Our time at this location was truly wonderful!

Private Cottage in Oakland Hills - Redwood Forest
Wonderful location in the hills of Oakland right into the tip of nature. Beautiful location and even saw a deer from the sliding glass doors!

Knix's Cabin at Salmon Creek
Mary's place will stay in our memories for a long time. We felt right at home. The house was charming and cozy without being kitschy, clean without being austere, well stocked with personal touches. Our favorite spot was the cushioned nook in the kitchen with a view of the ocean. We had a lovely, peaceful stay. Mary was a responsive, friendly host. Thank you!

🌿 Serene Sunset Cottage 🌿 – San Francisco Bay View
It's absolutely magical space for a peaceful personal retreat. Just amazing surroundings with beautiful views from the house and the yard, park with century-old trees just a few minutes walk away and beautiful walking paths. Something that I really needed for a recovery after a long business trip.

Mini cottage near San Francisco & SF airport
