Best place to stay for Yosemite

We had a great time here. Location is inside park so you don’t need to make peak time reservations for park entry Property has great view, plenty of room at living areas We had a lot of fun playing pools there. Rooms have everything you need and expect for vacation rental. Best part is communications with host. Eric was super helpful with all information we needed before, during and after our stay. We definitely will come back here for future trips!

Vacation

We loved the property. My only note would be that the host required us to put our towels in the washer and dryer. With a 10 hour drive home, we do not want to wake up an extra hour early in order to wash the towels and put them in the dryer. So we brought our own towels. Also, with our car completely full, we do not want to drive with trash bags in our lap, trying to locate the dumpster far from the property. It would be nice if these simple things be included with the property.

Loved location!

Place is perfect location for ease of getting to trails. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of cookware. Master bed very comfortable. Comfortable family room furniture with plenty of comfortable seating for 9 adults. Only drawback was there are 3 bedrooms and one sofa bed. Listing stated had 2 futons, in addition to 3 bedrooms, as our complete party didn’t arrive until Wednesday we didn’t realize second sofa was not a fold out until Wednesday night Owner was aware we had 9 adults so not sure why we weren’t told where other “bed” was. We texted asking and didn’t hear back until Friday afternoon that there was an aero bed under cabin if didn’t find one in closet.Owner usually replied back within an hour or so of all other queries. Other issue was oven stopped working in middle of first use. Owner was prompt in sending maintenance out but answer was to flip the breaker to stop incessant beeping. As code on door of oven basically said something more needed to be done we did not use oven again. Again I want to state it was a great place and we absolutely would stay again if we came back. Stove was minor issue as we used grill and stove top for all other mealsAero bed was very comfortable once we had it. Place was clean and honestly had everything you could need. I’m usually wary of hot tubes but this appeared very clean and it was well used after hiking.Thanks for allowing us to rent your home for our family vacation, we had a lovely time.

Great Experience at Yosemite

The property is about 15 minutes away from the breathtaking tunnel view—best you’ll get for larger parties. Amenities were great, kitchen is upgraded and nice. Beds and showers were ok for evening and mornings preparing for and recovering from adventures in the park. Great place!

Great location and well-stocked

Pros - great location, very accessible to Yosemite; well stocked kitchen with lots of dishes, cooking equipment, and lots of basic household supplies, which is helpful since a real grocery store is an hour away. Beautiful view, hot tub is great as is wood burning stove. Beds are comfortable and the area is peaceful. Pool table and TV with some major streaming services is a plus. Cozy and comfortable for relaxing and some fun games. Great place to hang out after long day in the park.Cons - inaccurate listing, only has one pullout couch instead of 2 double futons (and 3 bedrooms, not 4; pullout couch is in an open loft area next to a bedroom and right above the living room); 10 people (listing count) could not fit here, 8 max; have to haul all your trash and recycling into the park or host will charge a fee; must wash and dry all towels prior to departure (or be charged a fee) but dryer isn’t working well so towels wouldn’t dry after multiple cycles. Only 7 bath towels even though listing says it can accommodate up to 10 guests.

Had great stay despite a couple of issues with the house

We had a great time at this house and found the location and setting to be great. It was a relatively short drive to get down to Yosemite Valley. The house itself is actually nicer than the pictures make it seem! The listing would be greatly improved by some better pictures. Our kids really enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. We enjoyed our time despite a couple of issues with the house:- The oven was having issues and was inoperable when we first arrived, which completely threw our dinner plans into disarray.- One of the sinks didn't work - no water came out.- One of the bedroom outlets had a prong from a plug that was broken off and stuck in the outlet, making it unusable.- The air mattress had a slow leak and should probably be replaced.- It snowed over a foot while we were there and nobody came by to shovel the steps or deck or clear the driveway. This house is 2000' higher than the valley floor, so you MUST have 4WD or chains to get here any time from fall through spring. I don't think this was mentioned in the listing.- We thought it was weird that we had to dispose of our own trash and poach dumpsters in the park despite there being dumpsters in Yosemite West, but this is pretty clearly explained in the listing.We found the hosts to be quick to respond to our messages. We didn't need any immediate action though it would have been helpful to have a working oven and snow removal. Overall we had a great time and would stay here again.

Great location able to walk behind the house to a ridge when not ready to drive down to the valley. Hot tub was a blast with the cold weather. We loved the house and layout- better than the pictures, which is usually the other way around. Kitchen had everything including coffee filters and trash bags which is great
