Set in Ahwahnee, 34 km from Yosemite South Entrance, Sierra Meadows offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Offering free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking hotel has a hot tub. Our cabin was beautiful and equipped with every comfort, with a small outdoor patio where you could relax to the sounds of nature. The parking is right next to the cabin, and the shared bathrooms were always impeccably clean and well-equipped. The pool, located about ten minutes from the center of the site, is nestled in nature on an old, unused golf course where nature has reclaimed its space. While taking a walk through the meadows, we saw deer and other wildlife. It was truly a great experience. Not too far from Yosemite, it's a wonderful place to spend a few days immersed in nature.

The homestay provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Wonderful place, far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Margaret and Charlie are lovely hosts that help you find out how to make the most from your Yosemite and Sequoia visits. Their place helped me to relax after my hikes while enjoying the hummingbirds on the porch and wild turkeys in the backyard. Warmly recommended!

Big Sur Campground and Cabins is a 3-star property located in Big Sur. The property features mountain and river views. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. Stayed in A-frame cabin #B, and it was beautiful. I loved the architecture and outside miss on the slanted roof. I was pleasantly surprised about all the things it included, as the pictures weren't clear. But it had a full bathroom, small but very clean shower, hot water and good pressure, full small kitchen with microwave, gas stove, all the utensils and plates etc you'll need! (I wish those amenities were clear before I packed so much!) Comfy clean beds and nice dimmer lighting. Also had 4 chairs outside on balcony to enjoy the redwood views. It also had a fire pit and table outside, in addition to the wood burning stove inside. Stayed mid Nov and didn't need heater on, it was great temperature inside with just a hoodie/blankets for sleeping. The camp ground was actually small, which I liked as well. Quiet nights of people in cabins, RVs, and tents around. I also appreciated the free mugs and coffee/cocoa, the fire logs. The staff were nice and informative as well, very pleasant, thank you! Definitely worth asking what is included in your stay, as it may be different depending on what you reserve.

Situated in Three Rivers in the California region, Casita 3 Rios Secluded Mountain Top Home Minutes to Sequoias & Kings Canyon features a garden. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. Outdoor seating is also available at the holiday home. Very nice and comfortable house. We loved the interior which turned out to be bigger than we thought while looking at the house from the outside. Nicely equipped kitchen. Beds very comfy, stylish bathroom. We appreciated good wi-fi and availability of streaming services (Netflix, Disney, etc.). The AC was on (@71 F) when we arrived which was a lifesaver on a super hot day. Good location just minutes away from the park entrance. We were a bit disappointed that no bears visited the property while we were there :-)
