Big Sur Campground and Cabins is a 3-star property located in Big Sur. The property features mountain and river views. I just loved the wood cabin surrounded by giant redwoods. The cabin was so well equipped and so comfortable. Tubing (free tube rental) was such fun. Great to have individual fire pits and outdoor seating. We struggled to light the firewood so maybe some extra fire-lighting supplies would be useful

Featuring 5-star accommodation, South Lake Chalet by Heavenly is set in South Lake Tahoe, less than 1 km from Lakeside Beach and 1.9 km from Tahoe Queen. When we arrived, there was some urgent construction underway to improve the units. While this caused a bit of disruption to our stay, we decided to check out a day early and informed the team. To our surprise, they took the initiative to contact Booking.com on our behalf and arranged a refund for the final night. On top of that, they offered us an additional $50 as a gesture of goodwill. They weren’t obligated to do any of this, and it truly reflects their commitment to excellent service. What could have been a disappointing experience was completely turned around by their responsiveness and care. The hosts were quick to respond to any queries, the location is fantastic, and the rooms are comfortable. At the end of the day, it all comes down to service—and in this regard, they truly excelled.

Providing garden views, Arky's B&B in Smith River offers accommodation and a garden. This bed and breakfast provides free private parking and private check-in and check-out. It was a besutiful place, we stayed in a little house wich was part of the B&B and had a delicious chinese breakfast in the morning. The view from the house werefantastic. There were many seals in the bay and we saw a kolibri, pelikans and birds of pray. There is a little beach were you can walk and take a swim. The water was very old but we liked it because there were a lot of curious seals around us looking at us.
