Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house was fantastic! Quiet, roomy and had everything we could need including a pool table for down-time. Really liked having the choice between brewing a pot of coffee or using the Keurig for one cup at a time. Always a plus for us is when the showers have plenty of hot water and pressure and we were not disapointed. We also enjoyed both the front porch and the rear deck for relaxing, eating and wildlife viewing. It was a little further from Yosemite than we would've liked but to be honest to get much closer would've been more expensive and usually meant staying at crowded lodges/hotels with little privacy and peace. We felt this place was well worth the drive.
