Cottage vacation rentals in San Joaquin River

Had a great stay here, would definitely recommend. Perfect for a couple or small family. Mostly private surroundings. It was nice and quiet during the weekdays and weekend, exactly what we were looking for!

A recent stay at Robert’s home in Ben Lomond was exceptional. The property felt like home from the pictures on the wall to the books in the bookcase. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and toiletries was like walking into our personal family vacation home with everything clean and organized. Upon our arrival, we contacted the owner to let them know we arrived. We enjoyed a welcoming orientation of the property. The location was ideal with convenient access to stores and restaurants. We could not have selected a better place to enjoy quality family time and celebrate a graduation from UC Santa Cruz. This was a super stay and gets our highest recommendation.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We walked to the beach to boogie board, went to the boardwalk and enjoyed the local farmer’s market. The house was amazing and more than we expected. We enjoyed the backyard with all of its amenities including the hot tub and outdoor shower especially after coming back from a day at the beach. Shari was very proactive in her communications and we are looking forward to coming back again for a longer visit.

We had a lovely stay at Sally and Mike’s place while visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon! They were very friendly and always responsive, and had helpful suggestions for things to do and driving directions. We also really enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and grill after long days outside. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Amazing stay! Super clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Don was a great host super responsive and made everything easy. Definitely would book again! Amazing

Annie was a great host and the place was exactly as described and just what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We loved the hot tub in the backyard and the beach cottage feel of the place. Thank you for hosting us!

This was the perfect stay I especially loved the pool and spa. Check in was seamless. The horses were a real plus for me

This place is absolutely fabulous with a lake view! We were greeted by Ben, who was wonderful and gave us the white glove walk through of the unit and the areas. The location is the best. It’s within 2 min walk of everything you need (grocery store, souvenir shop, restaurants, bar). The locals here are extremely friendly. The unit is equipped with a fireplace and hot tub, great for nighttime hangouts. Enjoy your cup of coffee on the front porch. Tom, the owner, is so impressive, he is a local for 30+ year building his business which includes this Airbnb and boat rentals and restaurants/bars. Helping to support the community and hiring incredible people to run it all. Highly recommend you rent a boat if you stay her, you get 10% off. We loved it so much, we are already planning our next trip here!

Loved the property. Very peaceful. The best part was walking around in the morning, listening to bird song (identified 30 species) and enjoying a cup of coffee.

Great comfortable stay. Carolyn and Tchukon are amazing hosts. They were really considerate when we had a last minute ask during our checkout as well. 😊

A great cabin if you are looking for a little get away from near by cities or traveling internationally to head to Yosemite. Booked this lovely cabin for a birthday weekend with the girls. Very spacious. Used the full kitchen to be able to bake a cake and have a wholesome dinner made. TWO BATHROOMS!! Just a little heads up, neighbors are very close by and not as secluded (closed off) as we thought but that’s okay! We ended up making friends with a neighbor close by anyway & overall great experience.

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon! It was our first stop in California and it was absolutely worth it! The accommodations were beautiful, the kitchen made it easy for us to eat meals together at home, and furniture was clean and very comfortable! We would definitely recommend staying here!

Nancy house was clean and the beds were very comfortable.. bathroom was spotless and clean.. love watching the humming birds in the morning.. she had beautifully carved bears which you could buy wish we had place in our luggage..thank you Nancy will be definitely back when we are around

I think I literally gasped when I got out of the car. Walking across the bridge over the creek, I felt like I was entering an enchanted cottage. The setting is so beautiful, the cottage was sparkling clean and just the right size for me, and everything worked perfectly. Sitting outside on the patios with my dogs, listening to the flowing stream, and just relaxing was heavenly. However, it's probably not for everyone. The owner rightly warns against small children (that lovely flowing creek). It worked well with my dogs. I brought a couple long leads and they were happy staying beside me outside. If you have dogs who tend to dash off, be careful, because the property is not fenced. It's also a bit of a chore to unload and load the car, carrying everything across the bridge. For me, it was totally worth it.

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.

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!

Such a peaceful, quaint, cozy cottage surrounded by beautiful Redwoods, and a short drive to the ocean. Can't wait to return to Sofanya's property in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at Stephanie and Joes place! The cottage was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. Stephanie was a thoughtful and responsive host, and the peaceful setting made it extra special. Highly recommend and would love to return! — Tatiana, Alex, Josh & Gigi

Loved this location! About a 5 minute walk from the house and you’re right at the ocean. Really peaceful neighborhood, close to a golf course and located within a short driving distance to downtown Pacific Grove. I would definitely stay here again! Great communication from the hosts as well!

My husband and I loved our stay at this incredibly comfortable and welcoming casita. Everything was better than we expected. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The apartment was very well equipped with an eye for comfort and detail. We loved the fireplace, and the incredibly comfortable bed. the entire experience made us wish we could have stayed longer.

The yard was nice. The dogs were lovable. Inside premises are clean but having no kitchen indoors it is important to have the outside cooking area clean. Surfaces, grill outside were dusty and dirty. Hostess was aloof. No iron or ironing board. Otherwise some what overpriced, but safe and quiet.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location, nestled in a forest. We spent four restful days exploring the natural beauty of the 17-mile drive, walking in the forests, relaxing on the beaches, visiting historical locations such as the Carmel Mission and the lighthouse in Pacific Grove, and enjoying fine dining nearby. The full kitchen was nice to have for breakfasts, lunch preparation, and for evenings when we chose to eat in. Well provided with amenities and descriptions of how to operate the appliances and electronics. The hosts made check-in and check-out very easy and convenient.

Cute and comfortable cottage. I love how private it is and the natural surroundings. Jeff was a great host and gave really good tips and recommendations. He was very communicative and gave us tons of information that made our stay enjoyable. He would turn on the A/C remotely to ensure our comfort upon arriving from a long day trip. There was an ice pack in the freezer ready for us to use along with a cooler bag to carry. There was an awesome spice rack and there were clear directions throughout the cottage for when it comes to utilizing the amenities. We felt very welcomed and our stay in Jeff’s cottage was well worth it.

My husband and I had such a wonderful stay. We tend to avoid Airbnb’s due to some bad past experiences, but this place was so clean, had such great amenities, a wonderful kitchen and bathroom, very comfortable bedding, and the best of all, such kind hosts. It was so hard to leave, we even decided to stay an extra night!! Thank you for making your wonderful home such an inviting place to come and stay!!
