Traveling to Yosemite with a couple and 2 single friends, this house was a wonderful find. Modern, spacious home with 3 bedrooms for each of us to rest, and spacious gathering spaces; living room, dining room and massive deck with great views. The house was clean and uncluttered, easy to work within kitchen and easy to use washer and dryer. We appreciated the bathroom supplies, the kitchen staples stocked in fridge & pantry. Property Manager Marc was prompt to answer my questions before rental and 1 question during stay (directions for WIFi TV). Arrival & House instructions provided timely and easy directions for location. Short 10 minute drive to town for groceries & dining and 45 minutes to Park entrance. This house was welcome retreat after day in Yosemite. Our group agreed, we’d all stay here again and suggest for any others traveling to area.

My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon so we could go to Yosemite National Park. Overall, the property was nice and exceptionally clean. The inside of the property was a little dated, but the deck outside was awesome!!!! As for location, it was fairly close to Mariposa- about a 15 minute drive- but it took us about an hour and a half to get to Yosemite Valley from here. The property owner was very informative and easy to communicate with!

A lovely area and the owner was very accommodating. The house was well appointed and clean.

A lovely area and the owner was very accommodating. The house was well appointed and clean.

Primary concerns here were cleanliness - significant cobwebs throughout, mildew in bathrooms, expired open condiments in the fridge, dead bugs on the carpet, misc. garbage and items left from previous stays (in bedrooms around beds/nightstands). The washer was so dirty and full of mildew that we couldn't use it for our own clothing. We had to use it for towels as we were there for several days with 4 towels to 3 adults (and washing towels was in checkout instructions), but due to lack of cleanliness the washing mashing couldn't even drain properly. We cleaned ourselves with what was available. There were several places (ex: kitchen floor corners and wine rack fixture) that looked like there were either heavy crumbs or potential rodent droppings. Even the blinds in the kitchen were covered in what looked like food spatter. Due to the concerns with mildew and general cleanliness through the laundry and bathrooms, we opted not to brave the hot tub. To be fair, we did not report this during our stay due largely to concern #2 - communication. I reached out to the host 6 days prior to arrival explaining we were traveling and staying in other properties without cell service or printer capabilities asking for any relevant information, instructions, etc. He said he'd text it to me two days out from scheduled arrival. One day out I followed up via VRBO and text. Nothing. Day of I followed up again. Ultimately we ended up waiting at a location rather than departing as intended for Marc to give us the information we needed, which he sent via multiple texts. This would not have been my preferred method given the amount of information I needed to reference (and the majority of it being a copy/paste with duplication and a lot about pet policies, which were N/A for us). We were fortunate that we waited where we did have reception as had we left when intended we likely would not have been able to receive this information. The house was full of weird, old labels with instructions like 'don't touch'. Thermostat was off when we arrived, house was under 60 degrees. Windows have to be open to shower. I see some of these concerns addressed in other reviews, which in hindsight should have stood out more to me. I would not return to this property or recommend for these reasons. The location itself was nice in relation to Yosemite (about an hour to the gate). There were turkey and deer in the yard, which was also fun. Neighbors were rough and disruptive most days.

We had a great relaxing weekend here! Definitely enjoyed the hot tub and coziness of this place. The house is close enough to town to enjoy a day out but also secluded enough to relax and enjoy watching the deer and birds wandering near the property. Sticks coffee, coffee at Moonbow Kitchen, and Sugar Pine cafe were great places to eat or get coffee in the mornings just down the road. Thanks for the relaxing weekend!

The views are much better in person at this comfy mountain home! Just a short drive to Mariposa where I would highly suggest a burger at Happy Burger! Host was responsive and helpful. About 40 minutes to Yosemite. Got lucky with a beautiful snowfall at the house and the park!

Had a great time staying here for the weekend. Kitchen has everything you need. Huge deck with great views and hot tub both perfect for stargazing. Both TVs have Netflix but the living room kept signing out for some reason. Luckily, we always take the fire stick when we travel and it worked perfectly after. Overall, the areas that were used were clean. If you sleep with the doors closed like we do the room might get a little hot since the thermostat is in the hall way. Would definitely book again.

We really enjoyed our stay, exactly as it appeared in pics. Easy roads to and from yosemite and to town. Everything we needed after a day of hiking. The fenced in dog kennel was a bonus!

Everything was great, but wanted to mention that the outside was very dark at night. Front porch photocell lights at main door did not work, so only 1 motion sensor light on porch with any movement. East side motion sensor spotlights did not seem to work. The main thing was the car and front porch was in total darkness all night. Recommend checking all of that, because it seemed kind of creepy.

Beautiful home and great location near Yosemite NP. Our stay was very comfortable with nearly every desired convenience. However the VRBO listing was quite misleading by mentioning "TV" as an amenity. There are nice TVs installed in home, but listing fails to mention there is no connection to content -- looks like TV channels were previously provided by Dish Network -- which significantly limits entertainment value at the home. Also stress levels rose due to communication difficulties in days preceding arrival . Property owner did not respond to VRBO message (4 days prior) requesting info on how to access property, and did not return phone call. Access info was only provided as text message one day before arrival. Traveling guests deserve better communication to provide confidence that home will be ready on their arrival !

Had a hiccup in the beginning but we were able to work with the owner and get everything figured out. Great layout for this house and would definitely stay here again.

We loved having this little gem to hang out in after long hikes. The hot tub and deck were a great location to hang out at night. It was truly so refreshing to stay here.

Had an amazing time. Loved hiking all day in Yosemite and then coming back to this great house to hot tub, cocktails, BBQ and star gaze. Kitchen was well appointed. We all enjoyed cooking together.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfy. Plenty of room for all 6 of us. Hot tub was perfect for stargazing and hanging out in the evenings. It was over an hour drive from Yosemite, but the views even to the park were amazing. We couldn't eat outside the week we were there because bees would find us whenever we brought food outside. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay.

So spacious and comfortable. A fantastic place to return to and soak in the spa after a day of hiking in the park.

Our adult family of 6 enjoyed staying in this lovely home. We loved the comfortable beds, kitchen, hot tub, WiFi and deck. The home is quiet since it is situated on a large property - you don't notice any neighbors nearby. The home is well maintained and was very clean upon arrival. We all had a very memorable, relaxing and pleasant experience staying at this home. We look forward to visiting again.

Nice nice, private, hot tub. No real complaints!
