This house was absolutely ideal for our group of 3 couples looking to experience Yosemite NP. The home is exactly as described. Well stocked and very clean. The home feels very secluded and private even though neighbors are not far away. The hot tub, firepit and whole back deck were used often and enjoyed by all. If I could give this property 6 stars, I would. If you are looking for a spacious, comfortable home to use as home base while you explore Yosemite, the giant Sequoias, or the Sierra Nevada Mountains, look no further.

Amazing Experience!

Overall we had an amazing time staying at this location! Our hosts were amazing and answered any questions we had very promptly and kindly! The house was perfect for group size. We had 8 adults all together and just fully enjoyed the amenities that are offered. The game room, deck and hot tub were used a lot during our stay! Would 10/10 stay again next time we visit California!!

Yosemite break

Lovely property, peaceful location yet convenient for the towns of Mariposa and Oakhurst and the amenities that they have to offer. The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Easy check in process and good lines of communication with the hosts in case we needed anything (we didn’t!). We would recommend and stay again if ever we were looking to visit Yosemite again.

Great family getaway

We had a great time. Something for everyone at this cabin. The kinds and adults enjoyed the ping pong and foosball in the new game room. Hot tub enjoyed by all. Real relaxing hangout, open floor plan. It is a long drive -- about 90 minutes -- to the Yosemite Valley floor from the cabin so you just need to plan accordingly. We would stay here again!

Christmas get away

We had a very nice family get away it was very cozy and comfortable. The only thing is my son left his brass knuckles in one of the bedrooms. I don’t know if there is any way to retrieve them. Other than that we had an enjoyable stay. My sons and daughter in law found everything accommodating.

Coho Retreat

We enjoyed our stay, it is a nice property. It was roomy enough to accommodate our group of 8. The one downfall was the mosquitoes. We brought bug/mosquitoes spray and a fogger, it didn't help. We were bummed we couldn't enjoy the back deck or hot tub.

Yosemite visit.

The property was nice but several things were not working. Dishwasher was missing top rack. This meant had to run dishwasher twice a day in an area where water conservation is important. The oven was not working or burner on stove. The host did respond to oven repair but other issues were not resolved. Location was nice and centrally located . Feel like property needs a little tender loving care.

Yosemite adventure

Great property in beautiful and quiet surroundings. The house and hot tub were clean and instructions were readily available. The kitchen was lacking in cups, glass and some utensils. It would be great to refresh this. It’s worth noting that it’s 90mins into Yosemite Valley Overall a great stay and we would come back again

Yosemite Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed the property. We stayed for three nights and took day trips to Yosemite, Mariposa and Bass Lake. We attended a wedding on the Saturday evening and the property was less than 30 minutes away from the venue at Bass Lake. The property itself was very clean and well stocked with towels, linens, as well as a very well stocked kitchen. The weather turned extremely hot while during our stay and the HVAC systems kept up nicely. Signage around the property was excellent and made our stay more pleasant. The location while convenient offers for extreme privacy and quiet. We would recommend this rental to all.

Nice Place Overall

The property was nice overall. A bridge was being repaired nearby, so we had to use a alternate dirt road to get to the house. About 3-4 miles of that road was dirt (No big problem). But the road was very narrow with a cliff on one side and mountain on the other (and no guard rails). Kind of a scary drive. The distance to Yosemite was further than expected (about 1.5 hours away). The property manager was very communicative, friendly, and helpful.

Great Size/Location & Outdoor Space - bring some essentials though

Great house with a great hot tub and nice and big living room, kitchen and table for family! This is the second time renting this house and we were more prepared. Last time we cooked too much and there was no tupperware - good to bring some large ziplock bags and tupperware if planning to cook. They only have bath towels and hand towels, so bring a washcloth and beach towel for the hot tub. Beware of the driveway when entering! Looks like you're going off a cliff, but just drive straight. My husband almost drove into the propane tank slightly to the left. My one BIG suggestion would be that they need a couple of those tall markers on each side of the top of the driveway for those unfamiliar with it. Otherwise, a great stay and great hosts!

Very disappointed

My family and I arrived and at first glance the place looked great. Then we noticed there was trash in one of the bedroom closets, floors were dirty with animal fur, cob webs were on fixtures and walls. The air intake was filthy. Then we could not get the ceiling fan/light combo's to work with any of the remotes other than the master that was stuck on high. After the scavenger hunt we were able to get 4 of the 6 fans and lights working. The sets of doors going to the back deck were both broken unable to close unless locked. The masters doors were broken making them difficult to open and when closed left a gap between them letting cold air in the room. The master shower door handle was broken off making it unable to close while showering. The water heater valve was broken causing it to moan loudly every 15-20 minutes day and night. The stove knobs were broken and tv in the game room did not work. Needles to say I reached out to the host to explain the issues. I received a generic response stating they were sorry to hear of the issues and would attend to these things for their future guests. We decided to leave after the second day and I requested a refund for part of the stay. I was told to request a cancelation through VRBO and send pics. I was unable due to the stay being ineligible and was then told sorry they couldn't help me. VRBO stated that I would need to request this from the host. I have never been so unhappy and left early.

Beautiful and comfortable

Beautiful and comfortable…plenty of space for our family. We loved it! The hot tub and patio were great! The only odd thing is that the master bedroom has no door to the master bathroom…only an optional curtain. Then in the master bathroom, toilet, sink and shower are all open…so no privacy while doing the various tasks. :) Fine for us as a married couple, but I could see it being a problem if you are sharing the bedroom/bathroom with friends or something.

A Perfect House to Share

Great house packed with all essentials….we loved the outdoor area for social time while kids played in the hot tub and made s’mores at the fire pit. It was a bit of a drive from the park but the drive is beautiful. We saw deer, chickens, and wild turkeys from our breakfast table….great views!!
