Offering mountain views, Morning Star Vista near Yosemite - countryside with mountain views is an accommodation located in Mariposa, 47 km from Yosemite South Entrance and 50 km from Yosemite Arch Rock Entrance. The homestay provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Beautiful place with amazing views. We had a large room with bathroom all new and perfectly clean, very comfortable bed with a large window and an extraordinary view of the sunrise. Margaret & Charlie are truly amazing hosts; they are so attentive, friendly, and are extremely knowledgeable about Yosemite and the entire national parks system. We enjoyed the diverse conversations with them and they had excellent suggestions for our visit to the park and travel in California and beyond. We will definitely come back!

Situated within 30 km of University Of California, Davis and less than 1 km of Sacramento Convention Center, IreneHouse Victorian INN features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Sacramento. It is set 1.9 km from Sacramento Valley Station and offers full-day security. This 5-star apartment offers private entrance. We loved this accomodation which was very different from the other ones of our trip. The hostess was very kind with us. The dwelling is an alliance between antique furniture (as the name "Victorean" suggests) and all the comfort you may expect (bed, kitchen equipments, bathroom). Before coming, we confess to have been a little bit anxious about Sacramento according to its reputation, but the neighbourhood seems safe and we had a quiet stay.

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. 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
