Summary: The lodge had more than enough space for our family of 17 plus a small pup. Not a 5-star hotel but it had everything we needed to make our two-night stay comfortable and the great room had holiday decorations which was nice. The wi-fi was spotty at times but that was expected given the location. Our favorite parts were the amazing mountain views and the proximity to Yosemite National Park. We had 3 SUVs and also appreciated the plenty of parking space inside the property. Liza and Tom were incredibly responsive when we had questions and we also met some of the staff when we were departing who were very nice! Our group enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back here again.

Summary: Kids and adults like this wood house, great for groups and they have all we need for cooking—nice and warm inside.

Summary: I have mixed emotions about this property. It is a nice large house that needs some love. Definitely not a 10 out of 10 that some reviewers gave it. Pros: We had six adults and six children and had plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to cook for a group. The sunsets, sunrises and star gazing were amazing and we loved our evenings outdoors. Cons: Air conditioning is by room air conditioners. None in the basement bedrooms (4). Very warm our first night there. Mice and mice droppings, but we are in the forest so.. Two smoke alarms started beeping in the night two out of four nights staying. I think that could have been prevented by maintenance. Property manager responded quickly and replaced batteries both times. Most of the bedroom furniture drawers don't open. Two of the bathrooms have showers in claw foot tubs that are very treacherous. Low water pressure in upstairs bathroom. High water pressure in basement bathrooms.

Summary: Beautiful place, location, interior decor was perfect. Very appreciative of the extra care taken to provide towels, toiletries, barbecues etc.. Entire family members loved everything about this place. Thank you !

Summary: The views are beautiful and the proximity to Yosemite is great. VRBO indicates the property has a hot tub but there is no hot tub on the property so that was disappointing. That needs to be removed from the listing. There was a mouse in the house but that is probably to be expected based on the location of the property. We enjoyed our stay.

Summary: The cabin was so gorgeous, as well as the view! My husband and I stayed to host our wedding and everyone kept talking about how incredible the cabin was! Liza, of course, was great as well, she responds to texts and calls super efficiently and made sure the cabin was ready for us!
Saketh P. Oct 13, 2023 01:31:13 PM
Summary: The house and the area surrounding it were incredibly beautiful. Liza was a great host, and made sure that everything was taken care of. Highly recommend staying here!

Summary: A group of friends and I stayed on this property with our kids. It was incredible as the kitchen was well stocked and the view was beautiful! The host was extremely responsive as well.
Jeff J. Jun 26, 2023 08:53:13 PM
Summary: We had a family reunion and there was plenty of room for multiple families to have their own space. I would caution anyone traveling with a small car to be very cautious on the 1/2 mile trek from 120 to the property as it is a pretty washed out dirt road.
David R. May 23, 2023 02:14:03 AM
Summary: A group of 12-15 childhood friends get together every few years and this year we chose to be near Yosemite NP. We could not have picked a better location or space for our get together. The accommodations were more than enough to keep us all under one roof. And the views were fantastic too! I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone who asks.
