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. Highly recommended for anyone who loves wildlife and enjoys deep, thoughtful conversations with smart and insightful people. I actually saw more birds and animals around this place than in Yosemite itself! The hosts used to be park rangers, so they have incredible knowledge about all the local wildlife — it was amazing for identifying species and learning more about them. Beyond that, our conversations went far beyond small talk — they were genuinely intellectual and engaging, which I really appreciated. The room was spotless, and the view from it was absolutely stunning. Since the hosts are former rangers, they also gave us fantastic daily advice for our trips, which was incredibly helpful.

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. Featuring a private entrance, the apartment allows guests to maintain their privacy. I had to delay my check-in due to my child being sick, and Kari was incredibly prompt and helpful in resolving the issue. The room was very clean, and although the bedroom faces the street, it was surprisingly quiet. This is a very safe neighborhood, with a park right across the street. It's also very close to the old town center and perfect for walking, with street parking available. The house is well-equipped with various amenities, making our stay very convenient and comfortable. We had a wonderful experience staying in this charming Victorian-style home—many thanks to the host!

The in-room espresso machine and kettle were perfect touches, and I loved that they provided natural tar remover pads—so thoughtful for Santa Barbara’s beaches! 10/10—can’t wait to stay here again!
