Yosemite area home w/ Private River Access, Awesome Pool - Perfect for Families

As always, great stay at Riverbend!

We love the country feel and many fun features. My 3 generation families never had a dull moment there. Everyone loved the resort-like facility.

This place is great plenty of rooms for our large family. Easy check in and the river still had water running just enough to enjoy about 1 1/2 feet of water. The pool was also great.

Though it's an older home, it had modern appliances. There were lots of pits/pans, cutlery, baking & serving dishes ... There were also plenty of towels for showering and swimming. Plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained right on the property. Beautiful swimming pool and spa. The only drawbacks were that the pool was not ready to use until the poolguy came the day after we arrived and that, at first, we had to call the property manager to turn on the spa whenever we were planning to use it. That was remedied the next day when he gave us access to turn it on and off ourselves. The property manager was always very quick to respond to questions and needs. Everyone had a great time. Our 17yr old grandson said this is the best place we've stayed so far in the 8yrs we've been doing this.

Great location for our daily outings - the ranch home had plenty of space for our group, and we enjoyed the pool as well. Unfortunately the hot tub was down for maintenance but we enjoyed the outside deck area for dinners. The house could use some maintenance care - loose faucets, some lighting out, random TV remotes/soundbar not working and so on, but overall great stay for our friend reunion.

The property was amazing! Tons of space, very private and a view to die for A few maintenance and amenity issues but nothing that can’t be fixed. Hot tub wasn’t working but it got fixed by the second day. No propane for the bbq so we couldn’t use that. All the bathroom sinks were slow draining. The kitchen utensils are lacking if you plan do cook a bunch.

This older home was certainly roomy enough for our family of 6 adults & four kids. We drove to Yosemite one day & spent the rest of the time on the property. The river was still running & the kids enjoyed playing in it. The pool was a hit. Both the pool & the hot tub were well maintained. One caveat: the pool is not fenced in. We were not comfortable leaving the children outside unsupervised. The pictures with the listing should be updated. Some of the outdoor furniture seen in the pictures is gone. The volley ball area is in disrepair. The dining rooms chairs & a living room couch are now covered with slipcovers. A double oven shown is missing the top oven & a toaster oven sits in the space where the oven was. An opaque light panel in the kitchen was replaced by a clear one, exposing the inside of the light fixture. The deck railings look fine but are unstable & need to be repaired or replaced. Supposedly the appliances were replaced in 2021. But during our stay, the top rack in the dishwasher did not work at all. The kitchen sink faucet wasn’t properly attached. In the master bath, 1 sink stopper didn’t work & we had to prop it open with a straw. Steve, the onsite manager was attentive but unable to fix these issues during our stay. Considering the condition of the house, we thought the rental price was reasonable. With greater investment, Riverbend could go from a good place to stay to a great place to stay.

This property is spacious with good facilities and in a lovely area. We stayed for a week with a larger family group. Unfortunately there were a series of issues concerning repairs and lack of utilities which were not responded to by the host (including leaking sink drainage, inadequate air con and lack of property maintenance). On check out day there was scheduled maintenance to electrical lines that we were not made aware of and so had no electricity, warming food in fridges, no lighting and no running water for toilets or showers, just as we were due to check out. There has been no further contact from either the host or from VRBO concerning our complaint. Despite the nice location and scenery, this trip was unfortunately overshadowed by very poor service.

Our family had a great time at this property. There were activities for all: swimming in the pool, floating in the river, or hanging out in the nicely air conditioned house to play games.

Beautiful and quiet home that was perfect for family to be together. The pool was wonderful for the hot days, and there was plenty of shade down at the river to enjoy that area as well. It’s a short 35 min drive to Yosemite south entrance, and only 10 mins to Oakhurst. Overall, already ready and wanting to go back!

We had 6 adults and 6 kids. The layout of the house was perfect. With the pool and the river in the back there was no need to leave the property. The kids stayed outside and busy the entire 4 days we were there. We brought in our own groceries and were able to cook all our meals. I highly recommend this property for anyone with a group with many ages.
