    We had a great time at this house! The hosts responded right away to messages. Everything was clean and well equiped. The living area and kitchen were spacious. It was a pleasure to be able to cook together, eat around a big table, & watch the game on TV. On top of that there was pool, ping pong and a hot tub large enough for an even bigger group than ours. And YES the sunset was gorgeous. We hiked next to two beautiful rivers each only 10 minutes away. We will happily come back.

    Great stay at the Ponderosa Chalet with our 2 adult children. The table was the perfect size for game night, and the pool table and ping pong tables were lots of fun. Hubby enjoyed the hot tub. Great communication by Jazzy and David, and an easy check-in/check-out process. Recommend!

    The home was very clean and very well appointed. The hot tub was amazing! The views were beautiful! The one clear night we had was so full of stars!We had very wet weather for 2 days. Didn’t use the fire pit or the fireplace. Bring your own wood or logs for fireplace. The firepit is gas.The propane grill worked very well. Kitchen was well furnished with plates utensils and cookware.Would love to stay again!Debbie, Chris. & River

    We enjoyed everything. The hotel was perfect very nice grill where we made some steaks and chicken. Beautiful sunsets. Very quite neighborhood. Easy place to start your day in Yosemite. Only an hour from the airport! comfortable beds and linens. Lovely fireplace. If you are arriving after dark, it’s a little more challenging to find it the first time. Very private!

    We had a fantastic time at the property during our visit to Yosemite! Jazzy sent wonderful instructions on how to reach the property (GPS is unreliable in that area), and they were very responsive with communication. We had such a great time we wished we could have stayed longer! Highlights: GAME ROOM! Our family loved the game room. The ping pong and pool tables provided us hours of entertainment which is awesome to keep teens off screens! Hangout space: plenty of room on the couch and the chairs for family movie nights. Huge TV!! We loved the large space. Hot Tub: Even though it was hot during the day, we waited for a cool evening to take a dip. So fun! Beds: All three beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious for our family of 4. King bed was a fantastic nights sleep for both my husband and me—and I’m picky about beds due to back issues. We stopped at the Vons grocery store in Oakhurst and stocked up on breakfast foods, coffee, snacks, beer, and pre-made sandwiches for lunch. There are plenty of dining options in Oakhurst which was convenient for dinners. My favorite was Round Table Pizza carry out for pizza and movie night at the VRBO! All in all we had a fantastic stay. Highly recommend this place!!

    I really liked the cleanliness of the home. It was apparent as soon as you walk in. The communication with the host was attentive and welcoming. The kids had a great time at the home. If the kids have a good time, and can have a great nights rest, then it’s a great stay!
