The house was great to stay at! The place was clean and had plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The four bathrooms was perfect as no one was really waiting on each other. The jacuzzi was clean and hot and overall we had a great time!
Our second stay. Well-stocked kitchen. Nice rooms. All very clean. My only issues were that there weren't enough towels for the number of guests and the hot tub was cold.
This property is fantastic! It is much larger than it photographs. There was plenty of room for our party of 8. It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked for everything we needed. The hot tub is a nice added feature. We loved staying here.
We had family fly into meet us and have their first time experience of Yosemite. The entire trip was wonderful and we wished in hindsight that we had a longer time there. The home was great for all of the people with plenty of sleeping spaces and bathrooms!
We hiked in Mariposa Grove & the Chihualna falls trail, & drove to Yosemite Valley several days. The house was comfortable and very well appointed. Many kitchen items, extra snuggly blankets, a steam shower & hot tub were all enjoyed. We did spot wildlife, and our FL granddaughter loved snow on the ground—& around the hot tub! A really wonderful spring break.
The house and location were just what we were hoping for! I failed to realize and was pleasantly surprised to find that the house is located within the National Park, so we didn’t have to deal with the park’s entrance every day.
The house can easily accommodate a large group with large kitchen, family room, multiple bathrooms and expansive comfortable deck with a large table for outdoor evening meals. It was perfect for our stay. Summer months may get warm but the house is stocked with fans and the upstairs wing was very cold and comfortable. Nights are cold for sleeping.
This property was ideal for the gathering of 4 adult couples to introduce two of us to the wonders and beauty of Yosemite. Approximately 50 minutes from the valley floor, it is located in a quiet neighborhood a half a mile from the Wawona Hotel. The house was roomy and clean, with a comfortable great room we used for games and conversation. Each of the 4 bedrooms had its own bathroom - which was a big plus. One of the bedrooms was upstairs, the others were downstairs. The fireplace was perfect for early the early May nights, and there is a convenient small grocery store a 5 minute walk down the road. We would definitely recommend this for a larger group that doesn't mind the trek into the valley. Plenty of parking for the 4 couples. We will be back the next time we visit Yosemite.

It was a very nice stay but the house felt dated and in need of some maintenance. It did not take away from our enjoyment. We even used the hot tub one night. They do have a lot of light switches and it would have been nice if they would have been labeled or had more instructions in the guest book.
What a wonderful place to stay! The property was perfect for 4 families. The location was breath taking. The large deck was a must as we spent our evenings there. We will definitely go back! Thank you!
Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Common room was comfortable. Covered porch was great for dining; we pushed the two tables together so the whole group could eat family style. Hot tub was hot. Location was super as it is inside the park so we did not have to wait at the park entrance station each day and we did not have to get a separate park entrance pass.
