It was a cozy stay for my family and I. The place has everything we needed, fully equipped kitchen and a lot of towels and blankets. The furniture were comfortable. The place was cleaned and it was in a good location. I would like for the place to have more lighting since it was hot and the drapes were closed to keep sunlight out.
It is a very well maintained property with good fixtures and well stocked kitchen. Also had a whirlpool hot water outside which is helpful after coming back from hiking. It is however very far from the National park as we had to drive nearly 1 1/2 hrs to reach Yosemite.
My boyfriend and I needed a quick getaway from the daily grind and found this Vrbo rental near Yosemite. We brought our dogs and the property was perfect for them to explore without bothering neighbors. The property owners were so friendly and helpful, responsive to calls/texts. The cottage was pristine, wifi was good considering the remote location. Great selection of tv channels and dvds for a quiet night of R&R. I loved the kitchen cookware, utensils and ease of use. I made a couple meals to enjoy on the spacious back patio. Queen sized beds had fresh linens and heavy curtains blocked out the bright morning sun if you like to sleep late. Highly recommend this little cottage off the beaten path yet less than 2 hrs from Yosemite.
The property was just as presented. The kitchen is well equipped; the bathroom is clean and updated; beds are comfortable; the gas grill is nearly new; everything works. For working remotely, as we did, the fiber optic cable was fast and reliable throughout our stay. The cottage is about a mile and a half off the main highway (#49), along a well maintained gravel road, with lots of spacing between rural neighbors. The only negative was the in-your-face political displays during election week...not just the preponderance of Trump signs and flags, but also confederate flags; state of Jefferson signs; postings warning “outsiders” that they are being watched; lots of long guns and side arms on belligerent display. On a walk with my dog, a neighbor about a mile distant from the cabin purposefully set his dog loose to tun us around and chuckled from his porch as we did so. No one explicitly threatened us, but—notwithstanding the isolation of the cabin—it is clear that the dispersed neighborhood does not welcome strangers.
Private location, great views of nature. Enjoyed our stay very comfirtabkt
We had a few hiccups but the property manager went out of the way to fix our issues.
We enjoyed our trip! This home was clean and cozy. It was nice that it’s so far away from all the hustle and bustle. We could go to Yosemite during the day, be around lots of people, but at night we were far from people. Loved it. The property was great for our dog as well. Felt very comfortable in this place!
The house was well-equipped and centrally located -- we headed out to the Sierra National Forest and did a lot of off the beaten track hikes. Even the neighborhood walks was lovely. Very friendly owner. Everything was great.
1 hour drive to Yosemete south ot west entrance. Beautiful views on both ways.
We really loved this little place - it worked well for our needs for the few days we planned to be visiting Yosemite. I liked that the cabin was equidistant from both the El Portal gate and the South gate, and we utilized both. The space was clean, quiet, and had everything we needed for our stay. The communication was prompt and thorough. We had a great stay and will definitely return again if we get out that way!
