Surrounded by a forest, Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite features a heated outdoor pool, and children's playground. The accommodation features two hot tubs. Yosemite's Highway 120 West entrance is 0.8 km away. Glad we splurged on this stay. Staff were great, 24hour pool and hot tub were a great addition. It was our anniversary and they gave us a free drinks voucher which was lovely. About 45 minute drive to Yosemite falls and cheaper than staying in the valley.

Offering a children's playground and hot tub, WorldMark Bass Lake is located in Bass Lake in the California Region.

The rooms are equipped with a TV and DVD player. Some units have a seating area to relax in after a busy day. You will find a coffee machine in the room. One of my favorite location to visit. Love the location and the closeness to Yosemite National Park. Oakhurst is a great little town to visit also.

Located at Northstar at Tahoe Resort in Truckee, The Residences at One Village Place by Hyatt Vacation Club features free WiFi access and free private parking. It features its own pulse-driven gondola. We stayed in the Three-Bedroom Villa, and it was easily the best hotel room I’ve ever seen. There are plenty of things to do around the property, and the swimming pool area is great too :). I’d definitely stay again 100%!
