7 Mi to Yosemite Nat'l Park: Riverfront Getaway!

We loved our stay here. The owner was very acommandating. Had everything we needed and fast wifi and still able to enjoy the lovely wilderness. We will be staying there again. Cant wait to go back.

Nice wooded area with stream at the back.

Great location, to enjoy exploring Yosemite. While roomy, the details, bedding, furniture and kitchen supplies (glasses, etc) were limited and often “weary”. Most significantly, the stairs and railing leading up to the front door were unstable and uneven, something that could easily result in a mishap. Dan, the host, was available and easy to work with.

Location was amazing! We enjoyed being right by the river. The house was great as well - very clean and had everything we needed.

Nice and easy to get to. The stream in the backyard was a wonderful addition. AC works great too

The property was exactly as depicted. Enjoyed the home and its close proximity to Yosemite. Would recommend.

We had a lovely time at this residence. So much character in this home! All the kitchen appliances were spotless. We call this place home as we spent three days in Yosemite. A wonderful and easy drive to the park. Super convenient location.

Pros: beautiful back yard at creek. Total privacy, many lazy chairs, even nice couch bed I would call. So natural.Now cons: Big issue with communication with property manager. Did not get lock box code untill just few hours in advance. Knowing phone signal issues, sbould have sent early.Same with scheduled repair work. Manager said he sent message about hour in advance but again he must be aware of phone signal issue throughout Yosemite, should have notified early. You do not want to see someone in the house as surprise. Mattress and bed in one room is in extremely bad shape. Lucky we were less people so used another bed.

Unfortunately, our stay at this rental was disappointing, especially given the potential the property has with a few much-needed improvements.While the location near the Yosemite entrance is great and the interior is spacious with decent WiFi and kitchen basics, the overall condition of the property left a lot to be desired.There were serious cleanliness and maintenance issues. We found mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers, and dirty diapers were left outside on the ground—completely unacceptable and unsanitary. The downstairs bedroom had ripped-up carpet exposing cold cement floors, and the tack strips by the door were not covered, which we ended up stepping on—very painful and dangerous.The outdoor stairs leading to the house were crumbling and felt like a major hazard. The yard was full of fallen trees, making it unusable and uninviting. Despite the listing saying there was a fire pit, we couldn’t find one. There was also supposed to be coffee and cooking spices provided, but the coffee was nonexistent, and the spices were old, dried out, and unusable.Adding to the frustration, there’s no cell service at the property, and it was difficult to contact the owner when issues came up. Although the roof had a tarp from recent damage, thankfully there were no leaks, but it didn’t add to the feeling of a well-kept place.This home could be a fantastic rental with better upkeep, attention to detail, and accurate listing information. Until then, I’d be cautious about booking unless you’re prepared for a very rustic and hands-off experience.

The house was the perfect spot for our family whose goal was to spend most of our time inside Yosemite. The house had a great cabin feel that was comfortable and all we needed. There was also a great spot set up by the river bank in the back to have a seat and take in nature or read a book. We had a great stay.

Dan’s cabin was a comfortable spot for exploring Yosemite. Just a few miles from Big Oak Flat entrance, but very quiet and peaceful. There was plenty of room to spread out and it was nice to have space to cook a family meal every night.

Great location, close to Yosemite, and private access to the south fork Tuolumne River. The interior of the house is comfortable with a mix of original and updated features and appliances. It has central air which was welcome. It could use some newer linens, towels, and pillows though. Some parts of the exterior of the house are rundown, like the exterior front steps that are crumbling a little bit (may be a hazard to older people) and the rail on the back steps which is really wobbly and about to break away. Beware the interior lower bedroom door is lockable and the provided key to the house does not open it. We found this out the hard way when it got accidentally locked and shut. Luckily, after searching all the drawers, closets, and cabinets for about an hour we found the keys that unlocked the door. Dan, the owner, was responsive to my calls about this but he couldn’t really do anything about it since he doesn’t live in the area. Everyone (guests and owner) should know of this possibility and the location of the keys to open the door. We didn’t see a fire pit anywhere.
