Northern California: pousadas

My sister, brother and I had a magnificent stay at Jeannie and Skate's beautiful home. We wish we could have stayed longer! The bedrooms were cozy, bright, and clean, the parlor is the ideal gathering spot, and the outdoor space is completely magical. This home is imbued with creativity, art, and joy and we feel so lucky to have stayed in it. Will 100% be returning here on my next trip to San Francisco.

We couldn’t have picked a better Airbnb for our girls trip! The cottage is beautiful, in the best location, and there are so many details in the Airbnb that make the experience unforgettable!

We had an amazing time here. We stayed with our 3 year old son and he had a great time playing with the toys provided and exploring the property. Staying in the caboose was a unique experience and one we would love to do again. Pat was very responsive to any of our questions and available for anything we needed during our stay. We would love to come back and stay someday.

ee is great

Delia’s private studio was a little oasis! The hot tub in the garden was the highlight for me. Soaking while listening to the birds chirp and watching the sun beams dance through the trees was something I will never forget. Delia made sure that we had fresh bathrobes and all the supplies necessary to easily light a fire in the fire pit. She was very responsive in her communication. Even though my booking was very last minute and I had a some questions, Delia was so kind and professional. She made us feel right at home. What a sweet little getaway!

Loved returning to Skate and Jeannie's place after first visiting 9 years ago. The place was just as great as before though it was lovely to see the new additions to their arty garden, including the outdoor bathtub. I must also give a huge thanks for their above and beyond assistance in helping us to successfully track down some lost luggage.

Marie’s place was very clean and lovely. Marie left very helpful instructions for local residents, businesses. The decorations are very lovely. I’d stay there again, when I want to visit again

The house was charming, welcoming, and very comfortable. It was in a great, very quiet, location. The neighbors were all friendly. We appreciated the host's communication and flexibility with check in time. We appreciated that the host left some avocados from their tree for us to enjoy. We'd highly recommend and are excited to return for another visit!

My stay with Emily was excellent. The proximity to UC Berkeley and various stores makes the room a very good accommodation for visiting scholars (and others working at the university). I also got to know Emily's son and her dog, everyone made me feel at home from the beginning, even though I was far away (from Germany). I can only recommend Emily's place :-)

C’était splendide !! L’accueil était génial , le lieu était magnifique et la chambre très confortable. Le petit déjeuner waouh!! Avec des gâteaux fait maison. Ils sont très généreux . On a la vue sur la vallée qui est magnifique aussi. Tout était parfait ! Merci encore !!

This historic home was absolutely breathtaking. We felt like we took a step back in time, extremely fitting for the beautiful historic town of Virginia city. I definitely plan on coming back!

This was an absolutely wonderful stay thanks to Susanna and John, who are the most amazing humans! Their two dogs were also a delight. The place was exactly as described, even more beautiful in person. The hospitality was truly exceptional. I highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a fantastic experience. I would absolutely visit again!

The private space is a lovely, clean and comfortable bedroom with a private bathroom. Diane is friendly and gracious, offering wine in the evening and great coffee in the morning. It is truly a room within a lived in, cluttered but artsy home.

Susan and Rich made us feel like we were visiting our friends without being intrusive. They were engaging, informative, flexible and fun. We shared meals together when suited but ate separately when appropriate. We loved our stay here and can’t recommend it highly enough. The facilities were clean and beautifully presented. Breakfast was time flexible and there were plenty of choices including Susan’s own recipe of Granola that was yummy. The title of super-host is well deserved. We will be recommending Susan & Rich to any of our family / friends heading to the area. Thank you guys for your hospitality 🫶

Rebecca is the most warm and welcoming host! She went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special with a personalized welcome sign and freshly baked muffins. We stayed up chatting like family in the evening, and she even made us delicious scrambled eggs in the morning. Out of all the Airbnbs I've stayed at, this one truly felt like home. Thank you, Rebecca, for your incredible hospitality! ❤️

Beautiful garden in a nice Berkeley home. Very quiet and clean room with good private bathroom. Great location with many locations including our favorite store Berkeley Bowl (which should be added to your recommended places) in easy driving distance. Comfortable bed and Rachel had welcome goodies waiting for us in our room’s refrigerator. She was very accommodating with our delayed flight and helped us inside after we lost our instructions. Snacks in the refrigerator helped us late at night when we arrived. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Fantastic spot to stay in Healdsburg! Breakfast and early morning coffee were exceptional as well.

Thank you so much for the stay and more importantly for letting us use your wonderful kitchen to cook our dinners ☺️ Emilie is such a great host that I would gladly recommend her place to anyone looking for a place to stay near Monterey Bay Area. Perfect location for day trips to Santa Cruz, Monterey and even Big Sur!

Perfect for my wife, daughter and I. VERY comfy master bed (adjustable). Quiet location. No full kitchen (as we knew) but had fresh muffins out for us and a well-stocked coffee bar which we appreciated. Will likely use again when visiting family in Merced.

This is our third stay, and always a special one!! The land will envelope you with peace and beauty, and Lael’s hospitality is full of friendliness and warmth. The creativity put into this incredible Tolkien Hobbit world that he and his wife designed is an absolutely stunning experience. It’s done so well that you have all the conveniences of the modern world along with all the magic and lore of another world all together. Not to be missed! We ordered the “shire-cuterie” board again, which is an incredible spread of deliciousness. Their complimentary home made breakfasts are something we always look forward to as well, absolutely five star. And their welcoming of our doggies is much appreciated. It’s quiet, private and such a cozy escape that we always look forward to. Until next time! Thank you, Lael and family.

Nice quiet neighborhood in South Reno. Simple quarters with all the necessities. Clean, modern room with everything but a TV. We will use this property next time we're in Reno.

For a same day reservation, the listing was accommodating & peaceful for a long drive. The host was super communicative & proactive; he sent clear instructions both email & by text. Upon arrival, the place was warm & cozy. Extra sheets & towels were provided for my pets. I used the jacuzzi with the fireplace on - what a morning joy! A delicious breakfast was included, and the presentation was superb & was at a perfect time. The view of the place in the morning sun with the trees in the background was relaxing & calming. Definitely a must if you are visiting Shasta area!

Super nice hosts, communicated very well and were welcoming and friendly. Made us feel at home. We ended up having to check in later than expected and there was no issue. The rooms were very clean and family friendly, the main room was way bigger than it seems to look in pictures which is a plus! And the main bed is so comfortable, after a long day that bed was heavenly! Due to traveling we had to leave very early so we didn’t get to see much of the area around the house, but the host did give us recommendations on cool places within our travel path. Overall a great experience and if we were local we would definitely book again!

Amazing location for accessing Yosemite coupled with the beautiful property itself. The Glacier room is on the far end of the property and feels most private, it also has a outdoor globe that would be lovely to relax in(we didn’t as it was very warm out). The bed is the comfiest we’ve ever had in an Air BnB. Takes about 30 mins to drive to El Portal, and another 30 to get to Curry Village. We left very early to access the park so the breakfast that was prepared by Horizon in advance was a great touch, and very welcome. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for accommodation to either access Yosemite, or for just a place to unwind and relax
