Our family loved staying at this cabin! The location was quiet and peaceful, and so convenient being inside Yosemite. The cabin was impressively clean upon arrival, and having a well-equipped kitchen and two bathrooms was a huge plus for our family of four. We would not hesitate to stay here again, and I would highly recommend it to anyone else!

Lovely two bedroom, two bath cabin at Wawona inside Yosemite. Beautiful place with comfortable beds, lots of things included in the kitchen. Our favorite place to hang out was the huge deck in the back overlooking the trees! We didn't want to leave.

We enjoy this property. It suits us well, and we rent from the May’s every year. We have already booked for next year, even adding a couple more nights. The location is great, and having reliable Internet is a bonus for those that need to work a little while they are there.The cabin is well equipped, and the beds are comfortable. Even though we just got home, we are looking forward to next year.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO house in North Wawona. The house was very clean and peaceful, and being located right inside the park made it especially convenient for exploring the area. The quiet setting was a big plus after a day of sightseeing. Overall, it was a comfortable and relaxing place to stay, and we’d definitely recommend it to other travelers looking for a clean, quiet home in a great location.

A beautiful home in an easily accessible quiet neighborhood in Tahoma. The hosts could not have been more accommodating and communicative. Centrally located on the western side of Lake Tahoe, this home has plenty of room for a group of up to 8. If I ever have the chance to visit Lake Tahoe again I will definitely stay here.

Clouds Rest is a compact, two bedroom cabin located in Wawona amongst a number of other cabins. The property was clean and well cared for with ample furnishings and accessories. There were plenty of dishes and utensils for 4 or more people and the backyard grill was a welcome treat. While it may be able to accommodate more than 4 people, it could get a bit cramped. The weather was hot during the day, and it was nice to be able to have dinner on the back deck during the evening. There were even citronella candles on the table to help keep bugs away.We lost our GPS on the way in, so finding the house proved a bit of a trick. We drove up Chilnualna Falls Rd past the school and library and found our turn to the house across from Pine Tree Market. The host was very helpful and responsive to our questions.

Wonderful cabin inside Yosemite! Walkable to Chilnuana Falls trail, Pike Market, and several other places. Great outside deck area and easy to visit the Merced River which is nearby. House was clean and well-stocked. Great stay, and the hosts were responsive and helpful!

First, the hosts are the absolute best. This was my first time renting through VRBO and it couldn't have gone better. The hosts are the nicest people. I brought my family up to see the places I loved as a kid and they fell in love with it too. The cabin is central to everything in Yosemite. It's cozy enough to just stay in and relax. And it is within walking distance of enough activities that it is impossible to get bored. It is paradise. If I could give the hosts 1000 stars I would. Thank you hosts. The only bad day was the day we had to leave.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Clouds Rest in Yosemite, extremely clean with extra amenities. Close to the river with a swimming hole which was much appreciated, would most definitely stay here again! We had family staying at two homes in the Redwoods and both of the houses had very apparent mice!!! Clouds Rest did not Thank you Mary May for everything you do to make your guests comfortable.

Great little cabin! We stayed for one night and enjoyed ourselves. Small market is one block down which came in handy! Removed one star for cleanliness bc there was a mug left out when we arrived and some cobwebs on the windows in the bedroom. But otherwise felt cared for and homey.
