A little spare
Nice clean and modern house, but it was bit barren. Really needs: a coffee table, pillows and throw blankets on the sofa, shampoo/conditioner in the showers, soap dishes in the bathrooms, spices and oils in the kitchen. It just seemed to have the bare minimum of amenities. And the hot water situation was not great, one of the showers would suddenly turned the water cold. And the dining room table had benches instead of chairs which isn’t awesome.

Delightful!
This cabin absolutely made our time in Yosemite so pleasant. I visited for 4 nights with my husband and 2 kids (7 and 10) in the middle of a 2-week road trip. The full-size washer/dryer was well used by me and much appreciated. The AC units were refreshing to come in to after a long hot day in the park. The kitchen was well stocked - I appreciate that there was a nice set of pots and pans, enough dishes/silverware, and all the tools needed to prepare the meals I had planned to. It was very clean with lots of convenient storage (love the bench and hooks in the entry way and the shelves in the bedrooms). The park was extremely busy while we were there, but having this cabin allowed us to escape the crowds and enjoy some quiet solitude among nature. We ate on the deck and saw deer, had quiet restful sleep, and played card games with the kids at the big kitchen table. The stay here was absolutely delightful for my family of 4 and I hope to stay here again!

Beautiful designed Mountain Home, spacious, clean with modern touches, great location
Our family enjoyed this home a lot during a winter snow storm, the home is beautifully designed, modern but still cozy. We especially liked the heated tiles in the bathrooms, sitting by the fire place, enjoying family meals and playing board games at the big dinning table. The house is close to badger pass where we went cross-country skiing. It was magical with all the snow.

Lovely modern cabin in the woods
I rented this property for a Yosemite trip with my husband, 4 year old daughter, and my parents in their 70s. We found the home to be nicely designed with lots of modern amenities like plenty of wall outlets, radiant heating in the master bathroom floor, climate control in every room, easy to use gas fireplace, washer and dryer and nearly silent dishwasher. My favorite feature was the extra-long live edge dining table. This table just encouraged us to sit around and talk, eat, do puzzles and watch movies in the evenings, it really is well-designed for groups that want to spend time together.
The seating in the home could use some upgrading, it was all IKEA and some of it needed to be tightened up in order to be safe to sit on. It would better complete the modern luxury feel of the design to have nicer chairs and nicer consumables like toilet paper and paper towels. The stairs to the cabin from the parking area are quite long and steep - that could be a problem for people with limited mobility. All in all a really nice space, we would absolutely recommend it and would rent again.

Great cabin inside park
We loved the cabin. Air conditioning, nice kitchen, located inside Yosemite, which was a huge advantage not waiting on terribly long park entrance lines. There are quite a few cabins/homes in Yosemite West, but still relatively quiet. Loved having a grill and kitchen to use. Dining and groceries are limited in Yosemite, so bring your food with you! Everything is a drive in the park, but only about a 30 minute drive from Sentinel Dome/Glacier Point and into the Valley. We would recommend if you’re not a camper or can’t get reservations in the Valley. We enjoy having a home to spread out in rather than hotel rooms.

Beautiful Property
Home was immaculate. Modern, woodsy feel. Beautiful and very comfortable for my husband and I and our 2 adult children.Bedding, towels very comfortable. Bathrooms and kitchen had everything you needed. Would highly recommend place and hope to stay there again. Would just want to let guests know that it is quite a drive for food, gas and other ammenities so do grocery shopping ahead to prevent a long drive to pick up supplies. When we went back to the home after hiking we did not want to go out to eat and were very happy to cook and stay in this cozy home. (BBQ may need to be cleaned....did not get very hot and we ended up cooking burgers inside the house)

Neat, clean, perfect for our needs
Our travel plans changed and we spent 5 nights here and I’m so glad we did! Great location inside the park. Outfitted with everything we would need for cooking our own dinners and breakfasts—we would usually be gone exploring all day and eat lunch on the go. Beautiful spare yet functional decor. Loved the heated floors in the bathrooms!
