Straddling on the western side of the US, California is a vast state famed for its diverse terrains, featuring lush forestry, desert landscapes, sprawling farmlands, and breathtaking beaches. With a state this vast, tourists can expect to find whatever they’re looking for within its borders. Those who seek some peace can book a yoga retreat, while those who are into touristy stuff never fail to take a selfie in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. Nature lovers seek refuge in the state’s tranquil and scenic natural parks, including Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, and many others. If you are looking forward to reconnecting with nature on your California holiday rather than go on hop-on, hop-off tours, browse through this list of the best Airbnb cabins in California, USA.
