Summary: The photos don’t do this house justice! It’s way bigger than we thought and it was perfect for our three families, with a total of 12 people and we didn’t even use the upstairs loft! The master is huge (our family of 5 fit in it!) and there was enough bathrooms for everyone. Great place to stay. Only thing is that there are a lot of bees outside, so just be mindful if you have an allergy. The host is super easy to communicate with and even brought over extra kitchen towels for us when we couldn't find any extras. The kids loved the pool with the diving board and the hot tub. Would absolutely stay here again, no hesitation.

Summary: We rented the cabin for 5 nights with 13 people the cabin was very comfortable. The property and the house were very clean.

Summary: The booking process was smooth, with the host promptly answering all my questions in detail. Check-in was easy thanks to clear directions and a provided check-in code. The property was clean and well-equipped, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From the kitchen to the bedrooms and bathrooms, it was thoughtfully furnished. The added bonus of games and books was a nice touch. While we didn't use the fireplace (it was summer!), we checked it out and it seemed to work well. The pool was fantastic – clean, fun, and perfect for the kids. They had a blast with the pool toys! The hot tub looked inviting, but we didn’t have a chance to try it. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The host was friendly and helpful. We’d definitely consider staying here again.

Summary: It was a great experience! More than I could ask for. The cabin sits far enough from other places but close enough to Yosemite that we were able to enjoy the park and alone time all in one place. I will highly recommend this place.

Summary: We had a great time!! Owner was very accommodating. Despite the recent reviews there was plenty of cooking sheets, bowls etc. check in was super easy. Visited the park several times. kids enjoyed the hot tub and pool. Will definitely return. Thank you!

Summary: My husband and I were here to hike at Yosemite with another couple. We stayed 3 nights and had a great time. There was room for another 8-10 people, but while the master bedroom has two full bathroom attached, the other 4bedrooms share a full hall bath and a powder room. The access to the pool and hot tub area was not lit until you plug in the lights and it’s scary dark. The grill was inadequate according to the guys. We made two meals but couldn’t find some staples of a kitchen like a cookie sheet or large baking pan. It’s about an hour drive to the South or the Arch entrance to the park on very winding roads. The caretakers were very responsive to our questions and it is a very spacious property.

Summary: Wonderful place! The best for its cleanliness, but more importantly for making it feel so cozy and homey!
Marisol D. Nov 12, 2022 01:00:05 PM
Summary: This house was amazing get away for my 40th birthday. Plenty of room for 3 families with children of different ages. Great pool, pond and basketball court in driveway. When we got there we had to wait a bit while they cleaned up but we’re able to have a late check out. Not as close to Yosemite as I thought. About an hour from the valley. Would definitely stay again!

Summary: We enjoyed this property for the short period of time we were there. Unfortunately we were evacuated due to the Mariposa/Oak Fire about 24 hours into our stay. We did get to use the fantastic pool and would rebook for that alone. It was a beautiful and relaxing setting. The pond was fun too. Several of us used the boat to go out fishing and explore. Thankfully the property was saved from the fire. The house was very clean and the space was fantastic. The main room opening to the kitchen was a great feature. We were a group of 12 and there was plenty of room to spread out. Regarding communication one should know the area is serviced by Verizon. We all had AT&T so it was an adjustment when we lost power (due to fire proximity) and only had the landline. I do want to say what a pleasure it was to work with Carolyn as our host. She went above and beyond letting us know when we could return for our things after evacuating and was very understanding in the chaos we experienced during our trip. It was quite an adventurous experience!
