I'm focused on location over ammenities and willing to pay $150 a night. I'm unsure if there is a cabin for rent in a great location or if you can rent camping gear for the night in a cool area in January. Also, how far is Yosemite from San Francisco in terms of driving distance? Thanks!


Answer
Try Yosemite Lodge, it's right near the falls and the restaurant and cafe/bar are both nice. The hotel is a bit basic, but it's right by the Yosemite falls. Off-season is $98-140/room/night depending on the quality of room and weekend/midweek. Poke around the site below, there are some interesting alternatives. There should be no need to stay outside the park in January and, depending where you stay, snow could be an issue if you do, I've had to use chains on a 4x4 to get in to Yosemite before.

When I drive there in the spring, to photograph the falls in full flood, I leave at 6:30am and get there for lunch and am back home for dinner. In the winter snow can be a real issue, as I mentioned before I've sometimes had to drive tens of miles on snow. You should really have 4x4 and snow chains to go there in January, sometimes they will insist that you use snow chains or don't enter the park. Time wise, 4 to 5 hours taking it easy, unless there is snow.

Where is a nice, reasonably priced place to stay near Great Smoky Mountains National Park?

We won't be able to bring our camping gear, but wouldn't mind staying in a cabin or motel with nice views in either Tennessee or North Carolina.


Answer
I'm leaving you a link below to what I think are the best and most unique cabin rentals in the Great Smoky Mountains of NC. Browse through some of the listings and take a look at what these cabins have to offer. Many have fantastic views and are private. I think you can easily find one you'll be very happy with.
