Summary: My husband is a photographer and we came to go to the Millerton Lake Eagle Tour. The location was perfect, the fact that we got to sneak in a trip to Yosemite and Sequoia was just icing on the cake. This place was clean, comfortable and this host should be in the Above and Beyond Category. There were little touches that made us feel special and made our stay extra nice. I have been to a lot of places, I would come back here. This place is a 5 Star plus!!!!

Summary: We have stayed at a number of VRBO properties and this one was exceptional! Great design and space utilization. Spacious. Spotless, every possible thing you could need, comfortable bed, washer and dryer, amenities, chairs to borrow, big fridge and freezer, snacks, coffee and the chickens and cat were a bonus! Fresh eggs for breakfast! Awesome. We lacked for nothing. BBQ, viewing tower, shuffleboard and horseshoes. Location excellent for Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Hosts were extremely nice and available. Highest recommendation!

Summary: The communication with the host before, during and after our stay was excellent. The moment we walked into the Cowsita we were just blown away. The place was well thought out in design and the cleanliness was excellent. We immediately felt welcome as the host knew we were celebrating our anniversary. They took the time to do a little something extra for our stay. The Cowsita was stocked with all the things you would need for your stay. They even had a few items to get you started until you could get to the grocery store ie toilet paper, paper towels, coffee. The amazing communication on places to eat and see were spot on. The sunsets were just amazing to see from the porch at night. The hosts themselves were just so nice to meet. They don't bother you unless you want to ask them questions. This place was completely private. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. We would definitely stay again if we go back to area. Thank you Ed and Jamie for the most amazing and relaxing anniversary/vacation ever.

Summary: Jamie’s California Cowsita has been our favorite vacation rental to date! The stunning sunsets overlooking the Sierra Nevada foothills every evening were a highlight, but the casita itself is equally stunning. The country decor is warm and inviting, making it a perfect home away from home. We had everything we needed for our month-long stay. We chose this VRBO because of its proximity to Yosemite & Sequoia National Parks and Kings Canyon. Additionally, all the stores you could possibly need are within 20 minutes. Lake Millerton & Woodward Park are local spots you must see! Jamie is an exceptional host! She checked in on us before our stay, responded quickly to any questions, and the fresh eggs and potatoes from her & Ed were delicious. If you’re looking for a place near the national parks or just a relaxing getaway, Jamie’s place is perfect!
Susan S. Oct 13, 2023 12:25:10 AM
Summary: Everything was as anticipated. We had all the basics to make ourselves at home and lots of small touches that made our stay hassle-free. Location is outstanding and we were able to go to Yosemite, KC, Sequoia, Pinnacles NPs and Monterey all which were all within at most a 2 hour drive. Rent this property and you won't be disappointed.
Connie L. Sep 26, 2023 11:40:30 PM
Summary: This is an ideal location to stay. If you were looking to go to Yosemite and Sequoia parks, Jami and Ed are the perfect host and along with their cute cat that would visit us every day whether you’re looking to explore the parks in California or just want to get away for a relaxing weekend this is the perfect place. Nothing beats the sunsets.

Summary: The place is very nice and inviting. It is furnished well there is plenty of lighting and windows, (I hate when these places are like a cavern). The place offers great privacy, and all amenities you would need for a short or long stay. The property is well maintained everything looks new. The casita my partner and I stayed in was adjacent to the chicken coop which was very funny to watch, but you will not have to worry about noise or smell at all if that is of any concern. The living room windows face the sunset which is very beautiful to watch from the area in Friant. It was a quiet and peaceful stay with easy and quick communication with the gracious hosts. Easily one of the nicest Vrbo's that I have stayed at. Thank you again Jami.

Summary: Can't say enough great things about our "CowLifornia Casita Too" experience from beginning to end. The hosts clearly communicate pre, during and post reservation to ensure their guests needs are met. After 4 hours of driving I was so thrilled to be welcomed by soft music playing in a spotless, well decorated and organized home away from home. So much thought has gone into providing everything you could need and more including guidebooks, user manual, laundry supplies, array of snacks, bottled water to kick start your stay and farm fresh eggs! What fun my granddaughter and I had playing the yard games available including shuffleboard, bean bag toss, lawn darts and horseshoes. We will definitely and happily book again in the future!
Pat S. Aug 29, 2022 12:42:08 AM
Summary: Down on the ranch complete with fresh eggs from the chickens next door! I wish all VRBO’s were as well stocked and beautiful! New up to date furnishings and appliances, very very clean. Lots of fun extras, like our own patio with party lights to watch the beautiful sunsets. Bit of a drive but worth it!
