Boasting barbecue facilities and views of quiet street, Kings River Reflections is a recently renovated homestay situated in Sanger, 33 km from Fresno Convention Center. This property offers access to a patio, a pool table, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the terrace, or enjoy views of the river and garden. We could not have asked for better hosts. Teresa and Tim were so kind and generous, and their house was gorgeous. Teresa made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed when we got to the house, and Tim cooked up an amazing breakfast the next morning (we were lucky - breakfast is only available if they have the time to make it!). If you're visiting the Kings Canyon and Sequoia parks, there is no better place to stay.

Conveniently set in the South Los Angeles district of Los Angeles, Good Shepard Homestay is located 2.6 km from Crypto.com Arena, 2.8 km from Microsoft Theater and 2.9 km from California Science Center. This homestay provides free private parking and a shared kitchen. La Union Station is 5.4 km from the homestay and Dodger Stadium is 10 km away. Yeah this was perfect for my trip. I was in LA for a film event and a Lakers game, and I was really happy with my accommodation. Jacob the host was welcoming, communicative and helpful. The place itself is very well-furnished, clean and comfortable. They provided towels, toiletries and condiments in the kitchen if you want to cook while you stay there. Added bonus, the location is conveniently close to the Crypto Arena if you are there to watch the Lakers play.

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. We had a wonderful stay ☺️. The location was great as a base for visiting Yosemite, around 1 hour by car from the entrance of the park. Margaret and Charlie were exceptional hosts who made us feel right at home. Their warm welcome and helpful tips on what to see in Yosemite made our visit even more enjoyable. The room and bathroom were spotless, clean and spacious. The bed especially was super comfortable after a long day of hiking. Having traveled much around the world, this stay offered some of the best value and hospitality we’ve ever experienced. We would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to the Yosemite area!

Featuring garden views, The God Spa provides accommodation with a garden, around 6.2 km from Simpson University. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features luggage storage space, private check-in and check-out and organising tours for guests. It was easy to find and access. The pathways were well marked and lit. It was inviting with a beautiful backyard and deck space. The inside was cozy, the wifi was quick, and the heating easy to use and adjust. It had a clean, well-maintained suite. The owners were organized and easy to communicate with and made sure I knew everything I needed to before arrival. I would recommend this space to other travellers. It was truly a blessing from Heaven to stay there.

Entering in the cozy cottage there’s a beautiful living room with some lofi music in the background. There’s pure and good water to drink and a large fridge with everything needed if you miss your lunch/dinner Breakfast in the morning, is home made prepared with John’s hands. Was really good! After that there’s a bedroom and a big bathroom Bathroom is the main photo you see here, and when you arrive you’ll for sure understand the why. Is huge and fabolous! Everything was in order and extremely cleaned. Thanks again John & Traci!

Rustic Rooms by Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks features a garden, barbecue facilities and shared lounge in Squaw Valley. With pool views, this accommodation features a patio and a swimming pool. The homestay offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Fabulous stay in wonderful setting. Hosts Mike and Bonnie were lovely. Mike made us a tasty breakfast and kindly took some time with our kids. They loved collecting eggs and grapefruits for breakfast, seeing and feeding the animals, and learning how to catch lizards with a piece of grass! Out of a two week road trip seeing 4 different national parks, their favorite thing was holding a guinea pig! Would definitely recommend, first class hospitality in a beautiful oasis.
