Cozy Bear Cottage is exactly that a cozy place to relax after a day experiencing Yosemite. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable. It was great being inside the park and saving travel time.

We couldn't have said it better, Sheryll! Staying inside the park really does save so much driving time, and we're glad Cozy Bear South was a comfortable place to relax each evening. Thanks for staying with us.

Snow falling outside while you're tucked in at Cozy Bear South sounds just about perfect, Donna. Thanks so much for staying with us, and we hope you'll come back for another snowy getaway.

This was an ideal place to stay for our Yosemite trip. The Cozy Bear was quiet, had everything we needed, and there was plenty of room for 4 people. The communication throughout the entire process was excellent. I would recommend the Cozy Bear for your Yosemite trip.

We were so grateful for the last-minute accommodations and this house had just about everything we needed! It was about 35 mins outside of the Yosemite Valley, which was perfect since our friends were staying in the park. This house was very clean inside, making it a perfectly comfortable stay for our family.

The property was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The check-in and checkout processes were super easy, and we had all the amenities we needed. The property has adorable decorations, comfortable beds, perfect amount of space for our trip, and a great patio and barbecue grill to enjoy the fall weather. Our host was super responsive and helpful. The property was a great home base for our trip to Yosemite National Park.

Liked: Location
This home was in a great location close to the Valley. It was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning is just a portable unit which only works in one bedroom. The upper bedroom had one window and was a bit stuffy as temperatures increased. The electrical outlet in the bathroom was not working when we arrived, but the host had it fixed while we were out one day. There were no baking pans for making a pizza. A carpet update would make it feel more modern and attractive.
