Book Your vacation for a week or 2 at our family-owned Yosemite vacation cabin and you will love it as much as we do!
We loved our stay here, but it was a little cramped with 10 people- there were only 2 sets of bunk beds, not 3. We just used an air mattress on the floor to sleep 2 more kids, and they all had a blast together. The kitchen looked different than the pictures show. It was small and not well stocked -(not enough dishes and cereal bowls for example), and no pantry space to store our food, and the microwave was in an odd spot above the fridge, which other reviewers commented on. We just used paper plate we had brought and got by ok. The deck was lovely, and what a view! This cabin is old and not perfect, but it’s clean and you can’t beat this location right on the river in Yosemite. You’d fall asleep to the sound of rushing water outside. The kids even went tubing and jumped into the river off the rock in the backyard. We had an amazing vacation and enjoyed our stay here a lot. A few little updates would make it even better though, and we’d love to be back!
Great location but cabin could be updated and cleaned better. There were dirty washcloths in bathroom and dirty bath mats hanging outside. The bedrooms with the king downstairs is very small and the kitchen counter space is tiny. There is an odd and pervasive smell too.. but the location is great. The decks fabulous and the beds comfortable. Just needs some housekeeping attention and the smells addressed.
1. Photo showed three sets of bunkbeds -- only 2 sets with a mattress on the floor. 10th member of our family had to sleep on the living room couch. I was billed for extra guests -- not fair since one had to sleep on floor and the other on living room couch with no curtains for privacy from outside neighbors or sun. 2. Maid didn't make up all the beds because there weren't enough sheets. We searched, including utility room outside next to jacuzzi, & found several trash bags with some sheets and bedding. Then, we had to make beds ourselves. Sleeping bags and mats that owner said we could use were not there & cleaning woman knew nothing about them. 3. Power went out. Phone calls to utility company found that there was a problem with the billing and only the owner could take care of it. Multiple phone calls and messages to owner before he responded. He did whatever he needed to do to get the power turned on. 4. Local phone number given to us for emergencies was out of order. In spite of repeated requests for owner to give us a local number to take care of emergency, he never did. 5. Owner needs to inventory supplies. 6. Location great. Lots to do in southern part of Yosemite to avoid the crowds in the village. Able to jump off rock into slow part of the river, & tube a short way & land on the beach in front of the yard. Steps going to beach steep, coming loose & dangerous. 7. Pine Tree Market people very friendly & market had whatever we needed.
The location is perfect although we could not enjoy the river as it was raging with the snow run off. However, that being said and the cost of the cabin,I feel that I must point out some of these things that needs improvement. Upon arrival we found the windows to be dirty as well as the floors and stairs. The stove was dirty and tiny, I could not imagine cooking in the oven, with only one rack. Pans are terrible, one has a broken handle that you could not use, one was scratched so bad it was unusable, the only good one was the cast iron skillet. The kettle leaked from the spout on the neck, kitchen knives are blunt and worn, no silicone spatula to cook with (probably why the non stick pans are so scratched) No wooden spoons either which would have helped. Microwave above a full sized fridge? Unless you are 7ft you have to stand on a stool to use the micro. No water from the fridge and no ice maker (both listed in the add) Furniture badly worn and torn. Dirty draws in every room, no closet to hang our clothes in the upstairs master. Most outlets are broken and do not hold the plug in (safety risk at best) Master hand held shower head not working, along with a slow draining sink. Stained toilet downstairs, light bulbs out. Steps to the river are missing near the bottom. Sink drainer needs replaced. The listing said 3 sets of bunk beds and only 2 are there. IMHO, disappointed at best. Not worth the money. I did contact the host and I believe he is unaware of these problem
The location of this cabin is tremendous, right on the river. Beautiful views and several really nice decks to sit on and enjoy the views. However, the photos were a bit misleading and not representative of what the cabin actually looked like. The kitchen was hard to work with, no food storage, the microwave was above the refrigerator so super hard to reach since it was so high. Very old gas stove, with an oven that seemed to only have one temperature. Not enough dishes if you actually had 10 people in the cabin. Two of the bedrooms are downstairs with a pretty steep set of stairs. Wouldn't be great for small children or the elderly. Cabin generally needed a little TLC, lots of burned out light bulbs, etc. There is a jacuzzi which is a nice touch but no operating instructions as far as I could tell. I know it's really old cabin which I don't mind at all, but some of the things could have very easily been taken care of with a little attention to detail.
The stay was great but there were things that were disappointing, the floors were very dirty like they hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time, there was dog or cat hair everywhere on the floor and in the carpet , there was no blender in cabin and some dishes were dirty, also the dish sponge was dirty with good residue, it’s a beautiful cabin with a hreat view it just needs a little more cleaning
Rustic cabin with a great view. The decks are great for eating, relaxing and enjoying the view. The swim spot below the cabin was a highlight of the trip. It’s easy to get to several hikes from this location. The kitchen and eating area are a little tight for a larger party. This wouldn’t be a problem in warmer months because of the outdoor eating arrangement, but something to consider in colder months. Beds sleep great and the bathrooms were fine for our party of 9. 4 adults and 5 kids.
This is a hidden gem in Yosemite. Great home base to explore Yosemite then come back to a piece of heaven in your backyard. I would highly recommend.
Great property
Cabin is located in a beautiful spot. Fully met needs of our party of eight. Would definitely rent this property again.
We were looking for a property that was comfortable, interesting and convenient to Yosemite Valley and this fit the bill perfectly. Cozy, cabin-like place looking over a beautiful river and rapids, the sound of which was a big part of the beauty. Easy access to the Valley, Mariposa Grove and the Chilnualna Falls, all of which are magnificent.
