This cabin was built by my grandfather, uncle and father as a one bathroom, one bedroom. About 10 years ago my uncle expanded the cabin to the size it is now. Unfortunately he passed away and his family decided to sell it. The new owners have updated the furnishings and expanded the deck. They have done an amazing job updating it but still keeping some of the old charm the cabin had. We had an amazing time going to the Sugar Pine railroad. Having our grandkids fish in the creek and walking around the pond. I highly recommend booking this cabin if you get a chance. I know we will be back. Olga, the host, was also great

Host was very welcoming. The cabin was amazing and clean. Close to Yosemite. Had a great stay
The location of the property was in the woods, and had a lot of privacy during our visit in early October 2025. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were comfortable. The hot tub was great and we used it after long walks in Yosemite National Park. This property was very convenient to the park and we had so much fun with my family. This wonderful trip was on my bucket list and we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary walking through the magnificent giants. Thank you for our fantastic visit!

Very quiet neighborhood nestled in the woods. About 50 minutes to the Valley floor depending on traffic, but you can get into the park in less than 15 minutes. House was well-equipped with everything we needed.
