This was an ideal property for a mixed group on our first visit to the park. Beautiful living area, good kitchen and lovely porch. The grill and hot tub were good amenities after hiking. The hosts were excellent communicators both when booking and during the trip. I would highly recommend and stay here again.

Our overall stay was good.The upstairs bed needs repairs to themetal canopy structure. The bed creakedevery time we moved or turned over.The cold water faucet in the upstairs mastersuite did not work. Down stairs 2nd bedroom has a hole in the ceiling with possible slow water drip down. The sliding screen door was not operational.Hand rails for outdoor stairs need refinishing and repairsto prevent splinters and injury from exposed screw heads. But we enjoyed being able to stay close to an event for convenience andloved being in Yosemite.

This was our second visit to this lovely cabin. We really enjoyed all the amenities and it really is wonderful to be staying inside the park and not having to drive that extra time just to get to the Valley floor. It’s so worth the cost. Eric was very helpful when we had questions or issues. He was quick to respond. The sunsets are lovely to watch on the deck, and the neighborhood was so peaceful. It’s exactly what you look for on this type of getaway. We would recommend this location to our friends and family for future stays at Yosemite.

The house was just as advertised. Location is great as it’s only 30 min from the valley, glacier point, and mariposa grove. The driveway can be a bit challenging to get up and down without scraping your car, but if you stay to the far left when going up and backing down it can be done. The kitchen has everything you need, beds were comfortable, and the pool table and hot tub were great additions for after a day exploring the park. Would definitely come back.

This place was epic. The house was immaculate with that perfect cabin feel. Hot tub was clean and exactly what we needed for the evenings. The pool table was great. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed and then some. We came to get married and this place was the perfect place to start our new life together. We did our first look in the forest behind the house under a perfectly arched tree. Our pups loved it too!
