Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Great Rift Valley

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy and spotless family home. From the moment we arrived, Jue made us feel incredibly welcome, even going so far as to cook a meal for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Nairobi with plenty of great amenities within walking distance. The security guards were also very friendly and helpful, adding to the overall sense of comfort and ease. This truly felt like a home away from home, perfect for our little family. This is what Airbnb should be about! Highly recommended!

Voor de 2e keer in het Madison huis verbleven. We kiezen voor dit huis vanwege de ruimte en de ligging. Prima voor een weekend weg met de familie. Het is een schoon en ruim huis. Erg fijn dat er een makkelijke wasmachine is en voldoende ruimte om de was op te hangen. De caretaker is erg vriendelijk en staat altijd voor je klaar.

The second time of the stay and we well enjoyed the accommodation with my family

Nice place to stay

Thank Chichi and Samson and team for hosting us sfo well. Absolutely a wonderful time in every way. Thank yo for dong all our shopping and serving s authentic meals each day. Can’t wait to return. The large house is perfect for teams giving each his own space! Blessings

Tim is an extremely amenable and accommodating host. The house is lovely, transports you back to another time. The garden is a beautiful, tranquil, oasis of colour and life. Margaret the housekeeper takes very good care of you. The surrounding area is lovely and there are several excellent places to eat. A car however is probably a necessity to appreciate these fully.

I had an amazing stay at this beautiful cabin by Lake Kivu! The views were absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the lake every morning felt like a dream. The cabin itself was spotless and incredibly well-kept, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. But the highlight for me was definitely the fireplace — it added the perfect cozy touch and quickly became my favorite part of the whole experience. Whether you’re looking to relax, unwind, or just soak in the peaceful surroundings, this place is a gem. Highly recommend and would love to come back!

Beautiful house in an amazing place! Service from Lidia (housekeeper) was just great on every detail! Highly recommended!

I stayed here for 10 days in May 2025 for work. The flat was exactly as described. Very clean, well equipped, secure, and spacious. The hot water and internet worked well. It was cleaned every few days which was wonderful. I was able to do my laundry easily. The compound is very secure. It is a ground floor flat which looks out into the parking lot, so I don’t open the curtains very often. I was at work most of the time so this wasn’t an issue for me.

I had an exceptional stay at Guillaume and Bridgette’s home. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed with a thoughtful touch; a fruit basket, milk, and juice ready at check-in. They were highly responsive, shared excellent local recommendations, and even connected me with their reliable cab driver, which made navigating Kigali seamless. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and fully equipped with all listed amenities. They also graciously allowed early check-in and late check-out due to my flight changes. Truly a gem and a home away from home. I’d love to stay here again!

This place feels like home. I am definitely staying here when I am back in dar. I will recommend this to anyone. The host always responsive and always ready to help.

Excellent location. Amenities were perfect. Joan is a great host - friendly and responsive.

The stay was great. We were welcomed. Enjoyed the scenic views. Would definitely come back!

I'm spending the long weekend in Addis Ababa for a quick getaway from Hargeisa, and the place I'm staying at has been absolutely wonderful! The accommodation is just as beautiful as it looked in the photos. I've had a really comfortable and enjoyable stay here!

Easily my favorite host in Kampala! The best places in the city as well. Already know where im going when I come back.

This has to be my favorite spot to stay in Arusha. I would recommend it. The night campfire was amazing. I’m definitely coming back 2025.

Tina's place was an amazing setting for a family Christmas. It has easy access to Ol Pejeta, the KWS animal conservancy, hiking trails near Mt. Kenya, and Nanyuki town. Chef John and his assistant Mary are fantastic. The house manager Noel is incredibly helpful and supportive. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Magnifique maison très agréable à vivre grâce a ses grands espaces et sa luminosité. On a l’impression d’être en harmonie avec la nature. Tout est réuni pour un séjour idyllique à Arusha. On peut alterner journées paisibles et littéraires au bord de la piscine ou découverte des lieux aux alentours. Excellent point de départ pour les activités : Arusha park, source d’eaux chaudes de Chemka, marchés locaux… Le personnel est bienveillant et a l’écoute des besoins. Excellent!

Great place. Close to Ol Pejeta conservancy. Well kitted kitchen, clean bathrooms and house. The house has a fantastic view of the mountain.

We had the most fabulous week at Nina’s — it was an utter dream. The staff were incredible. The beach was idyllic. And everyone was so helpful and made our week perfect. Thank you to everyone for looking after us.

Thank you so much, Petronila and Adam, for welcoming us so warmly. The house is lovely—comfortable, spacious, and beautifully furnished. The garden is large and lush, which we enjoyed to the fullest around the bonfire, BBQ, and Easter egg hunt, much to the delight of the kids (who also loved the big trampoline!). We truly appreciated your availability and, above all, your great advice for outings. Un grand merci 🙏🏼

We had a wonderful time at the Villa. The photos do not do it justice. Wish we’d booked for longer. Will definitely be back. Tabitha and Joseph were brilliant. Thank you.

Really enjoyed our stay at Sebastian’s place. It is in a peaceful and scenic neighbourhood. The house feels lived in and has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful vacation. Grace was extremely helpful.

This is a fantastic house in a quiet and very green neighbourhood in Nairobi. The housekeeper Rose did a great job taking care of us (cleaning, laundry, etc) and a recommended driver picked us up from the airport. One night we had a chef cook dinner for us at home; it was delicious. We were 7 and with 4 bedrooms we did not feel on top of each other.
