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. The hospitality and friendliness of Margaret and Charlie were top notch. They really made us feel at home. We loved our chats, their useful park recommendations and the facilities. We'd happily visit again and we were sad to leave.

Featuring garden views, Tranquility at the House of Alchemy Hollywood provides accommodation with patio, around 1 km from Capitol Records Building. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. We had such a wonderful stay in LA! The location was perfect, just a few blocks away from a main hotspot & public transport. The house has everything we needed & the backyard has been turned into such a beautiful oasis. Shay was a fantastic host & made us feel very much at home. Her little pooch, Juno, was a star of our trip as well.

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

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 :-)
