The first thing we noticed when we pulled up was the grass was VERY overgrown. So it looked a little different than the pics we saw when we booked. It was clean and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay while visiting Yosemite NP. Except for washcloths. There wasnt a washcloth in the entire house. And the house is quiet buggy. We had to vacuum spiders from the ceiling on 3 occasions. The space is good. Plenty of room and the house has great potential it just needs some love. The water is definitely an issue. The smell is bad and our hair never felt clean after washing it. We brushed our teeth with bottled water. I believe the owner has tried to address the issue so i'm not sure if anything else can be done about it. Overall the house was just ok.

Secluded get away

A weekend trip to Yosemite with the family was made easy with this location. We had 5 people and two pets. Communication with the property manger was fantastic. The property is out in the wilderness’s so be prepared for mosquitoes, bats, wasps, and spiders. Inside was super spacious for all of us so would would definitely stay here again when we come back to Yosemite. The drive there was gorgeous and totaled about an hour to get fully inside the park(the entrance is 35min). Loved our stay.

Wide open spaces, inside and outside!

This a very large and spacious house, and the 2 acre property it sits in the middle of is gorgeous. The house is comfortably appointed, uncluttered and immaculate. A perfect place for two couples—we would rent it again with friends. Our host, John, was extremely responsive and accommodating.

Property in great location near Yosemite (about a 45 minute to hour drive). Owner/Property Manager is communicative and the rental is comfortable and spacious. Would suggest bringing own drinking water as filtered and tap water has a bit of a metallic taste. Overall a great rental experience and we would definitely stay again!

Nice stay at Deer Ranch Meadow

This was the second time we stayed at this property. John is a very good communicator and is very responsive. The house is adequate, but the proximity to Yosemite was the big appeal for us. The house was missing a few basic items and had a couple minor issues, but overall we enjoyed our stay.

This is the spot for yosemite

This place was perfect for us. It was remote, but 10 minutes from town, groceries, resturants, and anything you may need. Close to everything, but juuust far enough from the people in the park. We drove in on wowana Road once on our last day (the other route into yosemite), and let me assure you, route 140 which this house is located off of is the easier route and that alone should be a big factor. After a long day of dealing with others, abet In a beautiful setting, It is nice to come home to somewhere where life just seems normal. The house is spotless, The beds are comfortable, The showers are clean and hot, and all the amenities are there. There is beautiful scenery around you, And you can be sure you won’t be bothered once you get “home” For the night. Check in and check out is Easy and the host can be reached at anytime if there are problems, but there wont be. This is going in my favorites list if i ever make it back to yosemite.

Hiking Getaway

The home is quite old. The kitchen and deck were the best features but the rest needs a little TLC. The towels were stained and very thin. The water smelled like rust and we didn’t feel comfortable drinking it. It’s just an older home that needs some updates especially the bathrooms. Our shower curtain was pretty gross and there were rust stains on the shower and sinks. It is 45 minutes from the park, which I believe was stated in the description, but another 20 minutes beyond that to the valley. A bit too far to drive every day.

Property is well maintained, kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, dishes, pans etc. The house has good WIFI and there weren't any internet connection issues.
