California is a fertile, peaceful place where you’ll find a near-equal balance of vineyards and deserts, beaches and mountains, hippies and traditionalists. Catch an epic wave in Big Sur or swirl a glass in Napa Valley. Be dazzled by the Joshua Tree night sky or just star-gaze in Hollywood. Swish down the slopes of a Tahoe ski resort, or cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge with the top down and the music blasting. Above all, don’t forget to soak up some Golden State sunshine.

Have the Mountains at your Front Door. Juniper Springs Lodge, Sunstone and Eagle Run make up Mammoth's premier ski-in/ski-out resort. Located at Eagle Lodge and Eagle Express chairlift, these studio to three bedroom condos and townhomes offer an alpine getaway that is ideal for families. You'll also have access to two heated swimming pools, six outdoor heated hot tub spas and many more resort amenities. Our mountain resort is located above 8,000 feet and we historically experience mild summer temperatures. Because of our cool summers, our hotel and rooms are not equipped with air conditioning.
My name is Irene and I am a single mother of two. I travel to Mammoth Lakes at least twice a year for the start and finish of my son’s school year. Staying at Juniper Springs makes my responsibilities affordable, enjoyable, and easy. The local markets are right down the street which is important to me because I do all of our cooking here at the hotel using the fully-equipped kitchens provided. The pool and hot tubs make it easy to have fun and relax here at the resort if we don’t want to leave for the day. The staff was awesome about helping out with establishing help with the TVs in the room, getting extra towels and movies from their DVD library, and keeping our room clean. Nicole was especially helpful in assisting me with getting checked in quickly and easily and also with information needed for planning future visits. She definitely made it feel like you were being taken under her wing for the stay and as a single mom who is used to taking care of everyone else…THAT one detail right there is everything!!!

Right across the street from the Pacific ocean, at 14 West, we encourage you to #LiveLikeALocal. With our collection of 14 modernized studios with thoughtful home-like comforts, we are the ideal place for a few nights stay or a few weeks! Our distinctive setup presents guests with the opportunity to socialize in our stylish centralized terrace or explore the area’s dynamic surroundings. Our prime coastal location is just a short walk from many of Laguna Beach’s gorgeous beaches, diverse restaurants, and fun beach-inspired activities.
With this being my first stay at this hotel, I was extremely happy. The beach wasn’t far, and the rooms were clean/fresh. The staff at this place were also kind, respectful, and helpful. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Unwind. Relax. Rest. Descanso, a newly refurbished, completely reimagined men’s resort in Palm Springs, featuring spacious rooms accommodating the needs of discerning guests.
Just one night on our way from Sacramento to Phoenix, it was such a wonderful stay. We actually booked for a week in November while there we loved it so much. Great location, don't want to drive? Take the complimentary bikes out and enjoy Palm Springs.

This Historic boutique Inn has been a staple in Idyllwild for the past 50 years. Situated on a forested half acre parcel, its close enough to walk to town, yet far enough away to still enjoy the peace and quiet Idyllwild has to offer. This property has just changed hands to a few new owners that are renovating and sprucing up the interiors and giving it the love it deserves to last for another 50 years to come.
Couldn't have been more pleased with this little cabin close to town, with separate kitchen, closet (and writing desk!); and bath (with heating lamps!) and big luxurious towels. Beautiful and comfortable decor. Everything one might need -- the only thing missing was a clock!!! I hated having to leave!!!

We were having a frustrating time finding a place to stay in greater LA and in desperation clicked on the Patrician. Wow, now I'm pretty much ruined for staying anywhere else in the USA. The property is in a beautiful private home in the hills above Pasadena. It was built in a Spanish/Arts and Crafts style in the 1920's and is in beautiful condition. The view at sunset is perfect with the Pacific in the far distance. Our host TJ was amazing, he's smart, gracious and funny. He worked in the movie business, and if you ask can tell you just about anything about how Hollywood really works. I promised myself that any time I go back to LA, it's gotta be the Patrician.

Recently my bf and I decided to take a staycay in Big Bear and came across Lindberg Suites. We had an absolute AMAZING time! We would highly recommend this place and are looking forward to going back! There are only 4 suites in the whole building and it is set close to the Village and major restaurants. We can't wait to bring our friends back to rent all 4 rooms. Bryan was so easy to work with and he made our stay so much more enjoyable with his A+ accommodations. We will definitely be returning soon!

Brand new 42 room hotel, 12 Villas, spa, restaurant bar and lounge, 18 hole golf course and much more.
I'm very pleased with my 2 recent stays at Nakoma. The place is SPOTLESSLY CLEAN & well-maintained. Fran & Linda at the Front Desk were personable/professional/charming!! I met Scott & Kyle & Beth at the Bistro and they took very good care of me. I soaked in the Hot Tub & took a dip in the Pool ... and I will be back for more. This entire Resort is a Beautiful Experience to be enjoyed as often as possible!

We stayed in the Villa Pacifica and it was so nice. It has 2 bedrooms and a very nice living room area with comfortable seating, and a great kitchen. The heated pool and hot tub were very relaxing, nice and clean. Ginny and Lauren are super sweet and very helpful. They surprised us with beautiful flowers for our 25th wedding anniversary. There was also a wonderful cake and bottle of sparking cranberry juice to help us celebrate. We are very picky about where we stay and we would stay here all over again!

The Westin Mission Hills Resort Villas, Palm Springs, is nestled in the Coachella Valley at the base of California’s San Jacinto Mountains in the secluded desert oasis known as Rancho Mirage. This world-class golf and spa destination promises infinite rejuvenation. Nearby, a mecca of cultural, historical, shopping and outdoor adventure awaits you.
I have stayed at The Villas several times over the years and have always had wonderful stays and great vacations. Quaint, smaller boutique hotel that is close to downtown Palm Springs, shopping and restaurants, it always feels like you have the resort to yourself, even when the resort is full of guests. It also has the unique advantage of being pet friendly, which is a rarity with timeshare properties. The staff is always friendly, accommodating and helpful.
