The house was clean and welcoming although a bit dated. Carpets could use a cleaning. The hot tub looked normal in the pictures, but leaks and doesn’t have seating. Felt like a kiddie pool sitting on the floor.

Amazing place to stay

Had a great time at the cabin. I loved that the drawers/cabinets were labeled for us; it made finding things in the kitchen so easy. The home itself was cozy and comfortable for 6 adults. We had a great time and i would 100% consider going back.

Amazing base camp to Yosemite

An excellent hill top cabin to base your Yosemite trip. 10 minutes drive to the south entrance of Yosemite (more with traffic into the park). Cabin is beautifully decorated, and was more than enough room for myself, my wife, and our parents.

Amazing Place!

My husband and I stayed with some friends while visiting Yosemite. The house was absolutely perfect, and we will definitely be staying there again in the future. It was spacious, well-appointed, and felt like the perfect place set in the Redwoods. The location was great for exploring, and the owners and manager were responsive and fantastic. Highly recommend staying here!

Yosemite Family Vacation

Had a wonderful time, plenty of room for the whole family. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. The only thing is the kitchen roof did leak a little. The deck has a lot of pine needles. Hot tub was fun and the fire pit was nice on the cool nights. We had a great time and would recommend and also would come back.

Awesome Visit in Fish Camp

Wonderful two night stay at Tree Top Cabin. The house had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We had planned to spend two days in Yosimite, but our vaca was impacted by an early spring snow storm the day we checked in. Both Host and Homeowner provided excellent communications regarding road conditions and check in on day one. Kids had a wonderful time playing in the snow around the house for the half day we were snowed in and the fireplace and endless supply of firewood kept us warm. Def a 5-star stay!

Wonderful private home

Our stay was in December and to our surprise we were lucky to have plenty snow. The home has plenty of spacious room, layout is split wing. Kitchen had everything you needed to cook. The back deck had a beautiful fire pit along with an amazing above ground hot tub. We had plenty of firewood to keep us warm after sledding on the driveway and up the road. We enjoyed the amazing views and privacy!

Yosemite getaway

Had a wonderful time at this nice home. Close to South Entrance of Yosemite, house was very comfortable, and very well stocked with everything you would need to cook. Few issues, but Cheryl responded quickly and resolved the issues. Highly recommend if visiting Yosemite. If you are going to Yosemite make sure you leave no later than 7 to7:30am for the park. Lines get very long just to get into park. But worth wait.

Great outdoor space!

We loved our two night stay. The home was perfect for our group. The deck with fire pit and hot tub were wonderful. My only complaint is that on our last morning we woke up to what I assumed was a blown fuse. Many of the lights and plugs were not working. We checked the fuse box but saw nothing wrong. I did text the number on the card in the binder but never got a response. We were checking out so it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience but it would have been if it had been our first day.

Owner clearly goes the extra mile for their guests

The owner of this awesome vacation rental clearly goes out of their way to anticipate their guests needs and accommodate them. Drawers and cabinets are clearly labeled making it easy to find items needed with owner going above and beyond the basics on items provided saving us a lot of $ vs. having to purchase/replenish staple items! Super convenient to Yosemite just a couple miles away. Internet worked great! Really good sized spaces (hot tub, deck, kitchen, living room, bedrooms, 3! baths, Washer/Dryer, etc.). We loved grilling on the deck (quiet and private) and dining at the large oval kitchen table as an extended family. Master suite location gives oversized additional room and privacy. All beds comfortable. Excellent communication before, during and after the rental. Well taken care of home - all 6 in our group loved this rental from the teenage son to grandma. We would rent again in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing your property with us while visiting Yosemite!

Very nice property / Convenient to Yosemite South entrance

We just returned from a 3-night stay at the Tree Top Cabin. The house is very nice and spacious. The main bedroom is quite big and is on one side of the house while the other 2 BRs are on the opposite end which provides a lot of privacy. There are 3 full baths with 2 on the main floor and one at the garage level. The kitchen has all needed appliances and utensils if one chooses to cook. There's a washer/dryer on the main floor which makes it convenient as one doesn't need to lug the laundry up and down the stairs. The firepit outside is really nice and we used it on 2 of the 3 nights. The VRBO check-in instructions weren't up-to-date and we weren't able to open the garage door as instructed. However, we called Cheryl the property manager and she was able to provide the correct code so we could get in. The property is easily accessible off Rte 41 and is in a very quiet location. Mariposa Grove is only 4.9 miles away and Bass Lake/Oakhurst are very easily accessible as well. Everything was very clean and all the appliances worked well. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again when we're in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Miller Property Manager

Host profile image
We are four generations of Yosemite lovers. Barbara's father, Archie, trained in Wawona as an Army Air Force communications specialist prior to deploying overseas during World War II. After the war, he couldn't wait to introduce his young and growing family to the beautiful and peaceful southern end of Yosemite National Park. Barb and Bob bought Tree Top Cabin to encourage both guests and family to nourish their own special connection to Yosemite for generations to come.
