Great stay at the Ponderosa Chalet with our 2 adult children. The table was the perfect size for game night, and the pool table and ping pong tables were lots of fun. Hubby enjoyed the hot tub. Great communication by Jazzy and David, and an easy check-in/check-out process. Recommend!
The home was very clean and very well appointed. The hot tub was amazing! The views were beautiful! The one clear night we had was so full of stars!We had very wet weather for 2 days. Didnât use the fire pit or the fireplace. Bring your own wood or logs for fireplace. The firepit is gas.The propane grill worked very well. Kitchen was well furnished with plates utensils and cookware.Would love to stay again!Debbie, Chris. & River
We enjoyed everything. The hotel was perfect very nice grill where we made some steaks and chicken. Beautiful sunsets. Very quite neighborhood. Easy place to start your day in Yosemite. Only an hour from the airport! comfortable beds and linens. Lovely fireplace. If you are arriving after dark, itâs a little more challenging to find it the first time. Very private!
We had a fantastic time at the property during our visit to Yosemite! Jazzy sent wonderful instructions on how to reach the property (GPS is unreliable in that area), and they were very responsive with communication. We had such a great time we wished we could have stayed longer! Highlights: GAME ROOM! Our family loved the game room. The ping pong and pool tables provided us hours of entertainment which is awesome to keep teens off screens! Hangout space: plenty of room on the couch and the chairs for family movie nights. Huge TV!! We loved the large space. Hot Tub: Even though it was hot during the day, we waited for a cool evening to take a dip. So fun! Beds: All three beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious for our family of 4. King bed was a fantastic nights sleep for both my husband and meâand Iâm picky about beds due to back issues. We stopped at the Vons grocery store in Oakhurst and stocked up on breakfast foods, coffee, snacks, beer, and pre-made sandwiches for lunch. There are plenty of dining options in Oakhurst which was convenient for dinners. My favorite was Round Table Pizza carry out for pizza and movie night at the VRBO! All in all we had a fantastic stay. Highly recommend this place!!
Fantastic experience with our hosts, Jazzy & David! Super clean, comfortable, all the conveniences of home. Amazing view, great location. Canât recommend this enough. Thanks, Jazzy & David, for a perfect weekend!
Our home away from home for our trip to Yosemite National Park was exactly as described. We loved staying at The Ponderosa. Close to the park. The hot tub was just what we needed after our long hikes. Thank you for sharing your home with our family
I really liked the cleanliness of the home. It was apparent as soon as you walk in.
The communication with the host was attentive and welcoming. The kids had a great time at the home. If the kids have a good time, and can have a great nights rest, then itâs a great stay!
Our family had a wonderful stay at the Ponderosa Chalet. The hosts were very communicative and available to answer any questions. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio and grilling in the evenings. The sunsets and stargazing from the cozy hot tub were memorable highlights of the trip! Weâd definitely return, and highly recommend for families seeking a spacious house for get togethers.
This property is tastefully decorated and was clean upon arrival. The communication ahead of our visit was great too.
The best part is the patio area that faces West and has an unbeatable sunset view, a hot tub, fire pit and outdoor dining table. The only bummer - not the fault of the house - is the bugs at dusk. Several of us were bitten multiple times in one night. Bring bug spray!
The garage-turned-game room was a bonus as well. There are some board games on hand but we didnât see just a regular deck of cards that we wished we had packed.
I highly recommend this house if you are coming to the area. We spent one day renting a boat on Bass Lake and another day renting a UTV from Yosemite Adventures and the location was convenient to both. We decided not to go to Yosemite NP because we kept reading about the crowds this summer, so I cannot comment on the accessibility from this location.
Quiet location where you can sit in the hot tub under the Milky Way after hiking and climbing in Yosemite. If you still have energy, you can goof around in the play room. Nice to sit outside and eat and watch the bats and the sunset from the deck is pretty epic.
Beautiful views, comfortable beds and an overall great place to stay! Roads are a little tricky getting to the property so it would be good planning to arrive during the day and avoid having to drive at night. Restaurants in town close at 8, so plan accordingly if you will be eating out. Hosts were responsive and property is well kept. Overall, nice accomodations.
We had a wonderful time with family and children of all ages. The house is in a neighborhood but we still very much felt alone. Good location to Yosemite and more!
The cabin is perfect for a weekend retreat. Itâs located in the wilderness but just a 10 minute drive to Starbucks. (I drove by several deer on my trip to grab a morning Mocha!). This was my first trip to the area so the welcome packet of information was very helpful.
