Family-friendly holiday rentals in Occidental

The Casa Sophia was a wonderful escape for me and my bestie and our kids. There was lots to do in the local areas and the kids loved the hot tub…so did we! Would highly recommend and will be back 🫶🏻

Really enjoyed our stay at Kelly’s in Duncan’s Mills—this place had it all! Beautiful scenic views right off the back balcony and easy river access, made us feel immersed in nature. Plenty to do with your own private dock, kayaks, bikes, hot tub, and nearby town/shops just a mile down the road. Would definitely recommend this spot for a relaxing and fun getaway. Kelly was also an excellent, responsive host and helped make our trip nice and smooth. Thank you!

Chad’s place is beautiful. We had a wonderful stay, and so did our doggy! Walking distance to the beach and you have a view of it from the balcony. Chad is very communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay! Christopher was very helpful and accommodating in all our communications.

The home was beautiful, we truly enjoyed our time there. They say that pictures are worth a thousand words but pictures of the views from the multiple balconies are unable to capture how stunning they really are. The home was just as listed, clean and was the most stocked home we have visited. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas and made unforgettable memories.

My wife and I stayed here for our 5 year anniversary and I couldn't have found a better spot to get away to. It was such a cozy and peaceful location, and Aaron's home had everything we could ever need during our stay. The views were incredible, and the weather was fantastic. Aaron provided an extremely detailed guide to the area that helped us get a feel for where to go and what to do, and we hope to come back someday and stay again to experience more of the beauty of the surrounding area!

I almost don't want to tell you how good this place is, so we can rent it again sometime. :-) But it's that good. We visited over spring break with our daughters, eight and 11, and had one of the most amazing stays we've ever had at an Airbnb. The home, the land, the pool, and the local area are all 100% amazing. And the sunsets. You know how you sometimes stay at Airbnb's where you feel like the hosts did the bare minimum to qualify to list it? This is *not* that place. There is everything you need and more. Thank you so much SatKartar!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy House! The pool was large and fantastic, perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. The house was spotless, and the neighborhood felt quiet and safe. Both the garden and front yard were lovely, and the pool area was especially private thanks to the high fence. Brook was incredibly friendly, always checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay, and promptly answered all our questions. She was very helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay in Santa Rosa. We felt right at home. We enjoyed the beautiful yard space and location to downtown as well as easy driveway parking. We plan to stay again!

Chris’s place was the perfect cozy getaway! Every inch of the guest house was thoughtfully designed and well-equipped with everything we needed. The views were beautiful, the space was clean and welcoming, and the dogs were so sweet and friendly. It was the ideal escape for our Emily. Chris was a great host—warm, helpful, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this air BnB! The hosts were gracious, the house is beautiful and perfect for a relaxing get away, the beds comfortable, and the location incredible. When we come back to Glen Ellen we will definitely stay here again! Thank you for a great weekend!

Private cabin, walkable to town and beach , close to so many trails and parks! We were looking for a place where we could have privacy but close to nature, with a place to eat in, as well as nice places to eat out if we choose to. This was perfect. The cabin is surrounded by redwoods, which made it perfect temperature even on warmest days.

Such a wonderful hidden gem! My husband and I went here on a quick honeymoon, so we only stayed one night, but it was incredibly comfortable and homey. Mark is a baker and provided us with the most delicious baked goods I've ever eaten and home roasted coffee during our stay. The creek is next to the property and relatively easy to find, beautiful! Since there is little to no service in the area, I had a bit of a hard time connecting with Mark on the day of check in, but his previous instructions were clear enough for us to find the cottage. We would certainly stay again and hopefully be able to attend the Friday Pizza Community nights they hold. Thanks for the great stay, Mark!

Casa Relaxo is the perfect mountain getaway in the midst of wine country. We spent our days visiting vineyards and tasting wine and our nights barbecuing and enjoying the wines we had purchased during the day under the stars. The unit is a secluded, peaceful cabin that I hope I’ll have the good fortune to return to one day.

I went there with two of my kids when my wife and oldest was out of town. We want to go back when they’re in town. The only downside was both kids got bitten up by bugs. Next time I’ll bring more repellent

We had a lovely stay at Blake's place. It was easy to feel right at home. Close to downtown, clean, cozy, and the patio and garden are a wonderful addition. So peaceful! We will definitely come back!

Nice unit. We did have some plumbing issues with the toilet but the front desk was able to assist. The AC unit also kept reseting itself to 75°. The air circulation is weird so it caused the unit to be extremely hot at night. Otherwise, the property was nice. Will definitely reserve again.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary trip. It was the perfect place, Kathy was very friendly and gave us so many recommendations around town to check out! The pool and hot tub were very clean and the perfect temperature. She even gave us a welcome bottle of wine and breakfast goodies! Definitely would recommend staying here to all my friends and family.

Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

This place is increíble! Hosts were friendly and proactive. The pool was heated to a perfect temperature and the view is unbeatable. The recommendations for hikes and restaurants were spot on. My husband and I had an amazing little getaway and we’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, gorgeous place to stay!

We came a second time to Fred’s river home oasis. Our kids love the grounds and the stream is so peaceful. Pool is delightfully warm and with a Forest view. Come here for a nature escape. We will be back!

I’ve been eyeing Cena and Roger’s place for well over a year and had tried to book another time when it wasn’t available. This year I finally was able to stay and I honestly didn’t want to leave. What a special, unbelievably delightful stay it was. I’m a huge nature nerd and the amount of flowers and greenery made it feel like Hawaii. Tropical paradise. Complete with birds and lizards flirting about. This trip I was in town mostly for Bottlerock but I ended up just lounging around most of my mornings, reading and slowly getting ready for the day. It was hard to leave to go out every day because the property is that peaceful and beautiful. I am so thankful I got to enjoy this stunning space and cannot wait to hopefully stay there again. Roger and Cena are lovely, sweet people. They’ve made this their own little slice of heaven, which they so graciously share with others. Fabulous experience. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Chantelle's home. The location is ideal--tucked away on a quiet street and only 5 minutes away from Sonoma Square. We absolutely plan to rent her home again--it's perfect!

We had an amazing stay at Mike’s place in Sebastopol! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this home was something special. The house is tucked away in a peaceful, secluded setting with stunning views of gardens, trees, and nature all around—total serenity. Inside, the space was a vibe. Tons of room to spread out, unique and stylish decor, and thoughtful touches throughout. One of our favorite features was the house manual, which wasn’t just informative—it included fascinating stories and history about the property that made the stay feel even more personal and memorable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the full bar setup (complete with signature cocktail ideas!) was such a fun bonus. Whether we were lounging indoors or enjoying the scenery outside, we felt completely at home. Mike was an exceptional host—super responsive, friendly, and helpful with anything we needed. Would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone!
