California is the kind of state that geographically reflects its populace: incredibly diverse. From the sandy beaches to the lush wine valleys, any and every type of environment can be found here. This includes mountains, and where there's mountains there's cabins. Many California resorts make a point of offering spacious retreats dotted throughout the rugged (yet beautiful) landscape, meant for guests who crave luxury with a side of solitude. The following resorts absolutely excel at that mission.
