We had a wonderful stay at this cabin, even though the weather didn’t fully cooperate and it rained quite a bit. The cabin itself was fantastic, clean, comfortable, and well maintained. All of the appliances worked perfectly, and we had very few issues during our stay, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time. John was especially great to work with; he was very responsive, helpful, and truly went above and beyond to help make our Christmas stay special. Despite the rain, we still made great memories and would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a cozy and well-cared-for place to stay.

Lovely back porch

We lived on the covered back porch when we were at the house. Nice cool breeze blowing most of the time, great place to watch the wildlife, ate our dinner meals out there! Close to Yosemite National Park. Well equipped kitchen, great starter package of the essentials.

Beautiful View and Comfortable Accommodations

We stayed here for a large family Thanksgiving gathering, and the accommodations were very comfortable. The beds were comfortable to sleep in, and the views were gorgeous. Unfortunately, the kitchen appliances (stove and oven) were pretty dated, which made cooking a bit challenging as they took a very long time to cook in/on. The floor plan is very open and was perfect for entertaining. We would consider staying here again.

Beautiful view and very large space

We had a total of 8 people staying in the house. There were plenty of bathrooms for that amount of people. Check in was easy, the host was very communicable and helpful. I appreciated the fact that they allow family gatherings and small events because I was able to have a family dinner after our small wedding in Yosemite. I do think that there are a few things that could be updated, but overall for the price and location and space it was WELL worth it. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!

Great property. The view is beautiful. The house is a great size for extended family. The only downside is there isn't a safe space to walk nearby. The house is on a two-lane winding road with no sidewalks. But would stay here again.

Excellent house for families to get together, for kids to run around. House had 2.5 bath, which was important - with a jacuzzi in one of the bathrooms. Very comfortable to stay in. 10 min drive to the supermarket. We were able to drive up to Badger Pass for skiing for the kids from this house. Reasonable prices with reasonable cleaning fees.

Absolute Perfection!

We traveled to Yosemite for our eldest son’s graduation! I looked at multiple properties and after communicating with the host, we felt confident that it would be the right choice! I was correct……the home exceeded our expectations in every way! From the mountain bluebird, deer and incredible gray fox that came to visit, the view from the deck was spectacular! The home was extremely spacious and our family of three teens were able to enjoy bonding time and then they had privacy within the upstairs bedrooms, bathroom and sitting area! The hosts are excellent communicators and extremely helpful! The property is close to Yosemite ant minutes from Bass Lake! My teens and husband said that it doesn’t deserve 5 out of 5 stars but instead they give it 10!!!!!!!!! I will definitely book again when we return to California from our home in Florida!
