There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but breakfast is on the house.

Breakfast is comped. Good morning!

This gem’s rustic mountain lodge vibe gets ya in the mood for exploring Yosemite (you’re a mere 12 miles from the western entrance btw). 

Nearby Moaning and Mercer Caverns offer guided tours for the curious and gold panning for the optimistic.

A tourable gold mine, wineries, Jackson’s historic (and totally stroll-worthy) downtown, a casino, tons of outdoorsy spots and more – all nearby.

Free parking means you're not stuck tracking down a spot.

A short walk from the Oakdale Cowboy Museum. Please say you're visiting the Oakdale Cowboy Museum.

Throwback motel-style home base just 12 miles from Yosemite Nat’l Park – the last major road stop before the entrance.

Perks like flat-screen TVs, coffee-makers and in-room fridges soothe even the weariest traveler.

Tasty breakfast that just so happens to also be free.

Choice of firm or soft pillows. Fresh-baked cookies. Kinda hard to believe this was once rugged mining country.

Hotel pool for when you feel like getting splashy.

Can you live without free WiFi? Sure. Do you want to? Nope. So they've got it.

Nat’l Park fans, pack some power bars and lace up your hikers. Some of the country’s best trails are calling.

Pleasant garden views from cozy guestrooms make these digs a super-chill home base.
