Sarah was amazing and our 3 days stay was wonderful. She was responsive through out and we enjoyed every minute at the property. Will visit again.
**Just be careful with the large potholes in the yosemite west area in general. We damaged two of our tires and spent the same amount fixing them as we spent on booking the property.

Yosemite cabin
The house was a great place to stay for a family. The view was beautiful and the location was great. It was 30 min to the village, glacier point and Sequoia trees. The only struggle was going up the steep hill to park at the house.
