Home Sweet Homes 5 Rad Rentals
BY SUZIE DUNDAS
If you’re in the mood for a little R&R, consider a staycation in our own backyard. Thanks to the amazing geography of Northern California (and the creativity of a few designers and decorators!) there are plenty of unique rentals available within a three-hour drive of the Sacramento area. Here are a few of our favorites for every kind of traveler.
Give glamping a try in the poshest way possible with this luxurious “tent” near Cobb, just north of Santa Rosa. Located in a wooded campground, the fully furnished safari tent is near several popular hiking areas and includes a comfortable queen-sized bed, WiFi, electricity, and a large patio with cushy chairs. During the warmer months, the campground includes an outdoor pool and has plenty of small clearings perfect for relaxing in a hammock or fitting in some morning yoga among the trees. PRICE: $149/night + $83 cleaning

FOR EXTENDED FAMILIES
The coast is calling you to this three-bedroom home in Santa Cruz that sits less than 100 feet from the beach. Nearly all living spaces look out onto Monterey Bay, and there’s plenty of room for a big group to socialize, as there’s not one but three living spaces: a top-floor sundeck, an ocean-view garden space with a fire pit, and a second-floor heated deck with an outdoor kitchen. Within walking distance are plenty of rental shops, restaurants, and coffee joints, and the interior is decorated with light, modern coastal accents. When you want to leave town, you’re just a short drive from the redwoods or Santa Cruz’s robust wine country. Sure, the price tag is a little steep, but since it sleeps eight adults plus children, it’s pretty reasonable when you split the bill.
