Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bear Valley

This was a great place to stay with my family! We comfortably fit 7 adults and 3 kids. Each kid had their own bed and each adult had their privacy. The house was all fully equipped with everything you would need including beach gear and life jackets for the kids. We also appreciated that it was a fully stocked kitchen and had everything we forgot to bring. We had so much fun and enjoyed the community very much.

We were there for our granddaughters graduation. We loved staying at condo and will hopefully stay there again It’s a great place.

This was our 5th year coming to this home to celebrate the end of the school year. Belinda is wonderful and so responsive. We love Murphys and the Capelli House!

The perfect place for a weekend getaway. My wife and I had a wonderful time. The grounds are beautiful, and there are many great hikes and eateries in the area. Already looking forward to coming back again.

Another great stay at Stew's place. I highly recommend. It is off a busy highway, but you wouldn't know it because it is secluded down below the businesses and is very private and quiet. Everything was very clean and lots to do with movies and games for the kids. The hot tub was so nice. It was very cool in the morning so that is a great way to warm up under the canopy of pine trees that surround the back deck. Definitely will be back for another stay.

Great location, in a beautiful home decorated meticulously! Spacious and set up perfectly for family and friends entertaining! Love this place will be back!!!

Nick was wonderful! His place is great for a relaxing weekend. Thank you for sharing your place

Place was as described. Nice and clean. Area was close enough to various hikes. We didn’t get to enjoy the two nights and three days since we left in a hurry the second day. We received news that our son passed away and quickly cleaned up, dropped off the keys to the office and left the city. We live over two hours away so we left in a rush. I messaged the owner but received no response which I felt wasn’t too nice.

This was our second stay at Jennifer’s cabin and our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stays each time. We really appreciate the clear instructions provided, and the cozy cabin like feel is something we always look forward to. Thank you Jennifer!

We had an amazing stay at Julie's cabin over the holiday weekend. It was so relaxing and to have the river right outside was so majestic and breathtaking. You have to see it in person to really appreciate the amazing views. Her cabin was just as described and had everything we needed. We felt right at home and the surrounding area was also very nice. Lots of hiking areas and nearby lake. We are already looking forward to coming back.

I have stayed here 3 times and each time is lovely. The house is comfortable and clean and the landscape is beautiful. Didn't want to leave.

We took a four day weekend in Murphy's to relax, see the sites and attend the Watertower show at Brice Station Vineyard. I have to say this cottage is one of the best stays we've booked on Airbnb, anywhere. The interior was a spacious, well appointed, high vaulted and practically furnished living space with one bedroom, one bath, a living room and fully equipped kitchen. Secluded toward the back of a fenced in, lush and well maintained backyard, this place is also a very short walk to downtown and all it offers (restaurants, park, wine tasting, etc.). Dog friendly too, not just this place but Murphy's in general. We definitely recommend this place and look forward to a future stay.

Bob and Polly’s home was truly one of the best places i’ve stayed at. It was comfortable, cozy and very peaceful. They had everything that you would need for your visit. Very close to the big trees park. There are a bunch of restaurants close by and a grocery store as well. I would highly recommend this home!

Mickey's place is within easy walking or driving distance to our relatives whom we visit regularly. Just the type of place we need, beautiful in the foothills, quiet and peaceful, and accessible to grocery or other needs. Mickey was very accessible, thanks for everything, Mickey -- we'll be visiting again!

Bev was a great host during our stay at The Shed in Vallecito! This quaint spot had everything we needed and was located nearby to many things we wanted to do in the area. We also enjoyed meeting Critter, the very cute outdoor cat who lives there :)

I can’t say enough great things about Fred & Patricia’s home! My family and I were fortunate enough to be able to call Fred & Patrica’s place home for 30 days. It was amazing to be able to wake up with the amazing scenery and just a short drive or walk you can find a market and pizza! Everyone in the area was friendly. We absolutely loved it and hope to be able to visit again in the future!

Excellent stay in a clean, well-equipped home We thoroughly enjoyed our stay—the place was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed. One minor quibble: the coffee maker was tiny and could only brew two cups at a time, which was a bit inconvenient for our group. The location is fantastic—just about an hour’s drive to Yosemite National Park, making it an ideal base for exploring. The community was undergoing construction, and some roads were closed during our visit. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes to enter and pay the $50 entrance fee, which was frustrating. It’s worth asking the host for an update on access or checking ahead before booking.

Jeff and Gina were great hosts. Responsive and friendly. Close to Yosemite. The kids loved the game room, beds were comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you’d need.

Beautiful home. We enjoyed two very peaceful days on Pine Mountain Lake. We were able to take the kayaks and SUP to the swimming beach several times. Kids loved the board games supplied in the house. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Grocery store nearby.

We had a great stay at Connie’s cabin. Our trip was two couples, each with a toddler. The space was very well set up to allow us to put each kid down and still have board game nights after they were asleep. The cabin had a very lived in and homey vibe - which is what we were looking for! You could definitely tell the family has gotten lots of great use out of the house over the years!

Beautiful cabin in Arnold! Super cozy and every amenity you could need. My kids did not want to leave.

One-of-a-kind home (two of a kind, I guess, if you count the CO version) made an unforgettable experience for our family (5 adults, 3 kids and 2 pups)!! Thoughtful consideration seeped in every nook and cranny! 1) brilliant open layout strikes perfect balance between having a corner/plenty of room for everyone, yet still with a lovely sense of togetherness; 2) exceptionally well-equipped and spacious kitchen; 3) play closet with enough toys and board games to keep our 2yo toddler and pre-teen girls equally entertained; 4) winter gear to borrow -- sleds, snowshoes, etc. -- kids spent hours playing in the hill across the street (within sight from the cabin). In terms of virtually every amenity -- from quality kitchenware, comfy beds, toiletries, extra blankets, towels, spare friggin' batteries -- the Chesa Madrisa was a couple notches above what one should be able to reasonably expect from a vacation rental! Hillary was an absolute joy to communicate -- we can't wait to be back!

The cottage was very nice, with great views, tall ceilings, huge sliding glass doors, and perfectly set up for two couples. It was extremely clean! We had a great stay!

Loved our stay at Katia’s place. Was the perfect size for 2 families. Lots of beds and everything was clean. Snow right outside the cabin so the kids had a blast the entire time. Just a short drive to go skiing / snowboarding. Would stay again if wanting a place where kids will have snow to play in and easy access to the slopes!
