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. Very cozy, super clean and well equipped cabins for a short or longer stay. We loved the kitchen as we like to cook ourselves. It provides everything you need to prepare a nice breakfast or a lovely dinner. Very quiet environment. Good to relax. We stayed in winter, heating was good in the cabin. All in all one can see and feel that the designer and owner of this place do not only want to provide a place to stay but a home. Thanks a lot! ❤️ Will definitely come back!

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 :-)
