Riverside Manna, Gateway to Beautiful Yosemite Valley Modern 3bd/2 ba cottage

Nice

The property was really nice, clean, and well maintained. It was very spacious and well furnished. We were able to walk down to the river / creek behind the property and spend some quality time there. Even saw flocks of turkey wandering about that was quite fun for the kids! The host also called us the first day to make sure we were settled in and that was quite nice. Plenty of shopping and dining options at a 5-7 min drive so we didnt really have to worry about food at any time. Overall a 5/5 experience and we wouldnt mind staying there again when we visit Yosemite next time.

General everything was ok relaxing and comfortable place the river cross the property was amazing, I think home need new kitchen, more utensils to cook and blender.

We stayed for 3 nights. The house is very clean and organized but furnitures are outdated. The bed was not comfortable and very squeaky. Both toilets made loud sound after every flush and the oven was very old and noisy. The creek nearby was easy to get to and very pretty. We even saw a deer the first day. Unfortunately, we did encounter a problem during our stay. We were notified by the owner the day before our arrival that the main bridge to the house is closed for the week and we will have to use the alternative route. When we got there, the road was completely unpaved and covered in rocks. It’s very narrow and only one way so it’s hard to let an oncoming car pass. It goes up and around the mountain so not much space. Our tires took some damage from that road condition and we had to drive very slowly, which added to our drive time. We asked the owner if we can check out one day early and get refund for just that one night but he refused. We had plans to stay at Yosemite to see the sunset but we couldn’t because we didn’t feel comfortable driving on that road in the dark since there are no street lights. It was very disappointing that we had to change our plans. We came from very far away and not sure when we’ll return to Yosemite again.

The place is very comfortable and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The back garden is very beautiful, and the sound of the river with the fireside seating was very romantic.

Nice place to stay near Yosemite National Park. Bring all toiletries. Bring coffee if desired.

House was as advertised; super cute and surrounded by nature. A large wild turkey visited us in the driveway! Instructions were clear and easy to understand

Beautiful home overall. Just a few little things I think the home needs but the experience was great. Home was clean and welcoming. Stores are not close by, its about a 20 minute drive. A home like this should have all the condoments needed which it didn't. We love how it backed up to a creek and felt like we were in the woods. The wild life was amazing seeing bambi and her momma and wild turkey's. The property in the backyard was full of weeds and some in the front yard as well.

Beautiful stay. Clean property and rooms.

The riverside manna was very clean! Beds were soft, lots of extra blankets, plenty of cook ware. The surrounding area was beautiful. The creek was a short walk and was great to sit and listen to. One afternoon while in the creek a bear did come within 10 ft from us. He was not aggressive but that was scary. The creek is beautiful though. Everything was great. The host has great communication skills.

Needed better cleaning on vents and fans throughout the rental. Newer kitchen cookware - pans are needed. Missing blinds in kitchen sliding door. Location is ok so long as you are aware of the travel time required to get to the different entrances to Yosemite. Overall the stay was ok. Paul is very responsive.

The house was very clean when we arrived, however the furniture in the living room is different from the pictures. After a hard day of hiking we were planning on sitting back with our legs propped up on the sectional shown in the picture. It is now just a couch and loveseat with no ottoman to put your feet up on. The King size bed was very comfortable, I think it is a memory foam mattress. The bathrooms had no wash cloths so my wife used the one hand towel as a wash cloth which meant we now had no hand towel but there were plenty of large bath towels. The pot holders need to be replaced, I almost burnt my thumb using a beat up old pot holder that was missing some of the padding/silicone. Also bring your own ice because there is no icemaker or ice cube trays that you could make ice with. It is about 70-80 minutes to get to the south gate of Yosemite so if you want to get closer you will pay more and I don't think you will find anything much closer than 45-60 minutes away from the gate.

Short trip to Yosemite NP. The house was amazing! Beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable, welcoming, and great location are just a few descriptions. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend-5 stars!

Nice house in a nice area. We were a little disappointed at how far this house was from Yosemite. It was an hour and a half drive, 2 times a day. That is on us though. No TVs in the bedrooms. Tankless water heater so there was unlimited hot water which was nice for our large family. There were a couple wild turkeys running around that we enjoyed watching. The river was nice but bring mosquito spray. We were getting eaten alive! I would say overall this house is very simple, clean, and comfortable. Meets all basic needs and felt safe.

Nice place to stay near a nice town that is not far from Yosemite.

Overall the house was clean and in a convenient location to Yosemite.
