Top Tehachapi Hotel Reviews

Beautifully Renovated Yellow Union Pacific Caboose, Tehachapi Overlooking Cable

10/10 Excellent

"The caboose was so cute. All the decorations and detail were great. Loved that snacks on water were there on arrival. The AC worked great! The view on the patio was amazing. Host was responsive and easy to communicate with. Heard the train horns at night, but we loved it anyways. They provide earplugs. Great place for anyone that loves trains or just a unique place to stay!!"

French Countryside Villa at Dorner Family Vineyard

10/10 Excellent

"The Dorner Family villa is a literal paradise! Tucked away on a beautiful winery complete with wildlife sightings and a vibe of peace and communion with beauty and nature. The hosts are so kind and friendly and made everything so special. Like family. The villa was stunning and so clean and welcoming! We LOVED our stay."

Spacious Family Cabin w/Hot Tub & Mountain Views

8/10 Good

"Lovely house with lots of personality and very fun touches! The wiring on some of the lights and outlets was confusing, and wished there'd been more room for disposing of trash (and a recycling option!) but the host was fine with us leaving the spare bags in the kitchen since we couldn't throw them out.Great communication from the host, and the kitchen was very impressively well stocked! (Better than was apparent from the listing so we over packed kitchen supplies!)A sweet family of deer wandered the backyard a lot as well."

Modern Home Prime Location Loaded With Extras

10/10 Excellent

"Visited family in this beautiful area and wanted a different experience than a hotel stay as we’ve done in the past. This property did not disappoint! It was so nice to have a place to come “home” to for meals and relaxing after family events! Would stay again!"
