Best place to stay for Yosemite

We had a great time here. Location is inside park so you don’t need to make peak time reservations for park entry Property has great view, plenty of room at living areas We had a lot of fun playing pools there. Rooms have everything you need and expect for vacation rental. Best part is communications with host. Eric was super helpful with all information we needed before, during and after our stay. We definitely will come back here for future trips!

Vacation

We loved the property. My only note would be that the host required us to put our towels in the washer and dryer. With a 10 hour drive home, we do not want to wake up an extra hour early in order to wash the towels and put them in the dryer. So we brought our own towels. Also, with our car completely full, we do not want to drive with trash bags in our lap, trying to locate the dumpster far from the property. It would be nice if these simple things be included with the property.

Loved location!

Place is perfect location for ease of getting to trails. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of cookware. Master bed very comfortable. Comfortable family room furniture with plenty of comfortable seating for 9 adults. Only drawback was there are 3 bedrooms and one sofa bed. Listing stated had 2 futons, in addition to 3 bedrooms, as our complete party didn’t arrive until Wednesday we didn’t realize second sofa was not a fold out until Wednesday night Owner was aware we had 9 adults so not sure why we weren’t told where other “bed” was. We texted asking and didn’t hear back until Friday afternoon that there was an aero bed under cabin if didn’t find one in closet.Owner usually replied back within an hour or so of all other queries. Other issue was oven stopped working in middle of first use. Owner was prompt in sending maintenance out but answer was to flip the breaker to stop incessant beeping. As code on door of oven basically said something more needed to be done we did not use oven again. Again I want to state it was a great place and we absolutely would stay again if we came back. Stove was minor issue as we used grill and stove top for all other mealsAero bed was very comfortable once we had it. Place was clean and honestly had everything you could need. I’m usually wary of hot tubes but this appeared very clean and it was well used after hiking.Thanks for allowing us to rent your home for our family vacation, we had a lovely time.
