Recent Northern California guest reviews

The amenities were fantastic, heated pool and Jacuzzis, gym and snack store. Best location to start your ski day at Eagle Lodge
Suzette H. | Dec 2025
My fiancé and I booked this spot for our anniversary! We brought our dog with us since this spot is pet-friendly and we had a great time. We didn't expect to not have cell service outside of the home, nor did we expect to be so secluded from the nearest city. The house is very spacious, great for a group trip. I would love to re-book this home in the summer since it is really close to the lake. Please be aware that the home lacks cooking pots & pans and cooking utensils. We were only able to make simple breakfasts.

This property had everything we could need for a weekend in tahoe. It is a little outdated but it is clean and comfortable and has alot of space. The price is great

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.
