PaPa Bear Cabin

Good but a little bit old

Exceeded expectations, everyone in our family loved it. Thank you!

Owners Need to put a more effort in updating a few things are going the property There and 8 track player on the living room ( 8track ) with a record player kitchen is completely rundown from the 70s TVs are 15 years old you can really bring this property back into the 22nd century with a few hundred bucks but clearly the owner just care about profit. Half the heaters don’t work. Half of the lights don’t work. We have stayed in many cabins prior to this we are also landlords and we are in the RV rental business as well, we know what to expect overall I give this property a 6 out of 10

This place would be beautiful in the summer but on no occasion should you stay there in cold weather. The heating in all but one room did not work, we contacted all the people available but to no avail. They even had PERMANENT signs above the heating systems saying out of order do not use, so I presume they never had any intention of fixing it any time soon. At least give more than one blanket (in most rooms, but not all) as it was so cold in there. The fireplace worked once we got it going but only after 20 minutes of a smoke filled room. Yosemite is a beautiful place so it was unfortunate that we had to endure such unsatisfactory accommodations.

Communication was good. Size was nice. The cleaners were thorough but almost everything was worn out, chipped, very old. No shampoo, no tissues provided. Deck was a mess, peeling paint, rickety stairs. The carpet inside was very stained. No AC even though it was 100 degrees. Old towels in the bathrooms. Owners are doing the bare minimum on upkeep.

Great spot close to the park. But the house itself looks like it hasn’t been touched since the 1970’s. In general that can be cool but the carpet throughout the house is dirty and gross, the heat doesn’t work upstairs, and other items don’t work. It was very dusty and in general needs a lot of TLC by the owner. Also no access to a washer and dryer and no shampoo. It seems like the owner knows they have a good location so doesn’t try to make the house adequate or on par with most VRBO rentals from this century. I would not stay here again.

Overall great! Location specially, away enough from the Valley (where is full of people everywhere) but close enough too to be able to come back and forward if wanted. Perfect for families or group of friends. 3 large comfortable rooms and bathrooms. Would be great to have the laundry available but it is not, so take extra clothes.

Although the interior was dated, the stay was quite and pleasant. Neighbors were friendly and the cabin was clean and had ample kitchen utensils, pots and pans. The stay, in my opinion, was better than a hotel or B&B. Grocery store was within walking distance and restaurants not far. We will probably rent cabin again May of 2025

PaPa Bear was perfect for our family. Location, near Mariposa and close enough to the valley, was ideal. We had a fantastic vacation, unplugged.

Papa Bear Cabin baby!

Great location and very clean and spacious! We ran out of propane for grill and the property managers immediately refilled it when we asked. Only suggestion would be some mattress toppers to make bed more comfy and maybe make it more clear on website that no fires are allowed in fireplace until November.

The pictures I remember on your site didn’t represent the cabin. Very dated definitely needs ac. Basically it’s over priced. If I would have seen it in person I never would’ve rented

The décor of this property is a little older but it was very clean and well maintained. There were 6 of us and we were very comfortable.
