Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Southern California

We had a great family weekend at Micheal’s place. Micheal was a great host and communicated very well. The house was beautiful and felt cozy but was spacious enough for everyone to enjoy. Also loved the proximity to Pioneertown and the Restaurants and shops in town.

This was our second time staying at this wonderful cabin, and it won’t be our last! The peaceful and quiet surroundings are absolutely stunning---nature is truly brought right to your doorstep. We especially loved the thoughtful personal touches, like the oat milk in the fridge, the cozy dog bed for our furry friend, and the well-stocked bird feeders that brought an array of birds and squirrels to the cabin each morning. The check-in process was seamless, and the host was as gracious and accommodating as ever. It’s clear they take great care to make their guests feel at home. If you’re looking for a serene retreat with all the comforts and charm you could hope for, this is it. Highly recommend!

Amazing home! They were very helpful and responsive whenever we had questions. The home is very spacious perfect for families!

My wife and I were looking for a place that would provide us with peace and allow our son to experience snow for the first time (he’s 2 yrs old). Kailee and Melissa’s place did just that. Great, clean, peaceful and beautiful homes. We would stay there again.

James was very responsive when I needed him throughout the stay. He was quick to rectify the issue so no complaints there. The place was clean and everything you needed was there! Overall would recommend! Close to the village and other amenities.

We visit Kernville one to two times a a year. This was my favorite place so far out of the places my family and I have stayed. We have a family of 5 (3 kids) and they absolutely had a blast, plenty of games and activities for them to do at the house including swimming. We also had some friends and family visit us and the place was great for entertaining guests. I highly recommend staying here the host is very responsive and friendly. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

We had an enjoyable experience at the Coastal Garden Retreat. It was perfect for our extended family of 5 adults, 2 grandkids, and dog. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. The kitchen was by far the most fully stocked kitchen in all of the many places we have rented. Everything in the home was in good working order, except for one wobbly dining room chair, which Claudia was quick to address. The playhouse, games and toys were a joy for the kids. Also, the location of the home was nice. It was only a 1/2 hour from the zoo, and 10 minutes to the beach. And it was enjoyable to walk in the peaceful Manchester Preserve right in the neighborhood. The San Elijo Lagoon is minutes away also. One of the highlights of the trip was checking out the tidal pools at low tide just south of lifeguard tower #10 on Cardiff State beach (which allows dogs). This home was one of the best homes we’ve stayed at. We will not hesitate to return.

This is a beautiful private retreat in the heart of Atwater. That is was also dog and family friendly was such a huge bonus. We needed a place to stay near our home while our floors were being refinished. And this place was wonderful! We were able to walk to multiple restaurants and coffee shops. We’d had a slight issue with the AC on the first night, but Eloísa and her crew were very responsive and the issue was resolved within hours. She also gave us a slight credit for our trouble. The spaces are well proportioned and it feels like a home that folks live in. Clean, bright and functional! Big tables to play games at and plenty of places to unwind. The sofa has seen better days but the master bedroom mattress is divine! Definitely going to recommend her place to friends and family visiting from out of town.

Apartamento muito bom, espaçoso e confortável. A localização é ótima. Fomos ao supermercado caminhando sem problema. Muito bom! Podem reservar que vão adorar.

We enjoyed Terry and Militsa’s amazing hospitality. I loved meeting and feed all the adorable animals!

My family had a wonderful time staying at this cozy, peaceful space over Easter Weekend. The home was very clean and had a lot of amenities for us to make our stay great. The five of us fit comfortably and the kitchen was nice to cook Easter dinner in. This place is also a short walk to the beach. Host was very gracious and very responsive.

Perfect location and very nice apartment, with fresh high-quality linens and towels. It is fully-priced and has some nice amenities, but in other ways does need some attention, esp. at the price. The TV was effectively non-functional — host said he would replace it but that wasn't going to help me. The kitchen is also outdated with a partially broken faucet and both too much clutter and yet some odd omissions: normal enough for a vacation rental, but for the price these should be taken care of. Harry is however a lovely gentleman and you will not regret the location.

This was a great location close to the beaches, and the host was incredibly responsive and accommodating. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We truly appreciated how flexible and welcoming they were, especially with an early check-in. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a hassle-free experience with a great host.

We had a great stay at this property! It's fully remodeled, very clean and comfortable. Everything was provided, including nice bath towels (mini shampoo/conditioner/lotion, too), soft comfortable linen, fully stocked kitchen, etc. The property is steps away from Marine Avenue, the main street on Balboa Island, with great shops and restaurants. That being said, you are in a more vibrant and happening part of the island, which comes with a little more noise and traffic. We enjoyed being close to everything, walking around, etc. The host is responsive and super easy to work with.

Квартира чистая ухоженная. Все есть для комфортного проживания. Большая и светлая ванная, удобная кровать. Классный балкон, можно полюбоваться закатом. Быстрый вай фай. Большое спасибо за теплый прием.

El lugar es increíble!!! Impecable, cómodo, tranquilo en medio de una zona paradisíaca. Volvería mil veces

Had a great stay as a group, Ali was very communicative even later at night when we were having some issues with the hot tub temperature. Appreciated the help!

You enter the house, a little uncertain. From the outside, a little underwhelming. You pass through the cosy living room, still a little underwhelming. And THEN, WOW. The pool area, the tennis court, the Vista to the west, the mountains...spectacular, breathtaking, everything as advertised and more. Back in the house, you find a very well stocked kitchen, extremely comfortable bedrooms, a unique "guesthouse" for the Seniors (in our case), and above all...everything in working order. Absolutely no issues! Bravo to our great landlord, who was a super communicator. Overall: our family of 12, across 3 generations, found wonderful places to be together as well as to disperse. A great time was had by all in this Vista Villa wonder!

The place was very clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were so cozy, and we loved the hot tub. The location was close to everything we needed. Thank you!

We stayed with couples for 3 nights over Stagecoach. I cannot recommend Michele’s place enough. Perfect location walking distance to La Quinta Resort. It’s the area to be if you want to be close to Coachella or Stagecoach. The unit itself was gorgeous. Exactly like the photos. Beds and linens extremely comfortable. The unit has everything you could possibly need for a weekend stay. The complex has many pools, great for traveling with friends or family. There are 2 king bedded rooms with en suite bathrooms and a third room with queen bed that has a detached bathroom. Michelle’s team does an immaculate job because for as many reviews as this place has received it still feels very new and well taken care of. Last but not least, I would 100% stay again because of Michele and how accommodating and responsive she is. She was able to grant us an early check-in. One of my friends left behind a bag and Michele’s team went to the unit and shipped it back to us on the same day. Outstanding!!

This stay was beyond my expectations. The comfort of the home, the surrounding area, the beautiful views and peacefulness. It was all amazing, didn’t want it to end.

We love this place. The house is beautiful and has lots of space. The kitchen is big and has everything that we need. We really enjoyed The game room especially the pool table and ping pong table. We had a really good time at this house.

My only concern about giving this fabulous place a perfect review (which definitely deserves) is that I need to make sure it's available next year for Coachella again!! It really was the perfect place for us to stay during the festival. Not just close to the event but exactly what we needed when we came home - the most comfortable beds and peaceful neighborhood to recuperate, pristine bathrooms/kitchen and a fab pool right in front to relax. Thanks Cory, it was super pleasant communicating with you!!

I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Palm Springs home! The house was spotless, stylish, and incredibly peaceful—just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, and the outdoor space was perfect for soaking up the sun. The hosts were responsive and welcoming, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene and stylish retreat.
