Awesome vacation!
This house was so perfect for my group of 4 people. We stayed in this house so we could go to Yosemite. It was about a 35-40 minute drive from the entrance to the park. The place was pretty remote which was nice for watching the stars. We enjoyed the hot tub the most!

Great house/cabin close to Yosemite
I would recommend this rental. It was very comfortable for our stay (2 adults). Lovely grounds, nicely appointed and appreciated the hot tub after a day of exploring the park. It is about an 8 minute drive to Mariposa with many restaurants and stores. The drive to Yosemite entrance was a beautiful 35-40 minute drive. There would be plenty of room in this rental for 2 couples or a couple with children. Kitchen had all the basics covered!

Nice stay
The cabin was perfect for our 3 night stay to visit Yosemite. It was nice to come home from a day of hiking and relax in the hot tub. It was centrally located to the Valley and Mariposa Grove. Thanks to the owners!

Great base to explore Yosemite
Our main purpose was to explore Yosemite, and it took us 30-45 minutes to drive to the entrance of the park. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. There's a good grocery store about 10 minutes away. The only problem we had was the heater in the den area was a little strange and would sometimes blow cool air. I would stay there again if I made another trip to Yosemite.

Country House Near Yosemite
We spent 4 nights in this delightful house in a tranquil setting. If you are looking for peace & quiet near Yosemite National Park, this is it. The house is roomy with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a large dining/living room. It has a well stocked kitchen and we cooked every night. I would gladly stay here again and recommend it to everyone.

Great communication and responsiveness
We appreciated that we could drop off our groceries before the check in time so that we could head to Yosemite! The home was very nicely decorated and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, too. We enjoyed watching some of the DVD's and loved the welcome snacks. The notebook was also helpful. Our host was very responsive. Thank you!

Super location
Very convenient to Yosemite - about as close as you can get to the main entrance without staying in the park or a hotel. The place has everything - hot tub to grill. The layout is open and flexible. Book this place!

Wonderful Property
My family had a great time here. The house was clean, updated, and comfortable. It is located about as near to Yosemite as you can get without staying inside the park. This made for several great days exploring the park as a family. The hot tub was a great way to relax after long days of hiking. We also loved watching the wild turkeys and their babies running around the yard in the morning. Would highly recommend this place!

WONDERFUL stay. This house has everything you need. We stayed here for the proximity to Yosemite and ended up staying at the house one day instead so we could enjoy it. It is a destination in itself and we can't wait to return.
