Our group had a great stay here! Spacious house that was in an ideal location near Yosemite. Convenient and nice place to stay if you're looking to spend time in Yosemite.
We stayed here to visit Yosemite and were also happy with the proximity to restaurants and grocery. Communication with the host was great, everything was well-stocked! Highly recommend staying here.
Super quiet and remote. Reasonably close to Yosemite. Although some of the kitchen furnishings were worn out and in need of replacement, it was clean and comfortable. Plenty of room to relax and spread out. Very poor AT&T connectivity, but WiFi saved the day. Loved having a washer and dryer!
We really enjoyed our stay. It has a lot of space to spread out and was very comfortable. It was very private and we saw deer walk across the property several times. Our kids loved it and it was a great location to stay in with easy access to Yosemite.
Love the privacy of the property. Beds were comfortable, house floor plan spacious. Host was easy to communicate with. Great stay.

The property was beautiful and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The beds were comfortable. Great communication from the host. We enjoyed our stay.
A great house in the middle of a forest! Far from the main road and very quiet and tranquil. The huge living room is great for family time, and the kitchen is big and fully stocked.
Place is very spacious and clean. Kids loved the open yard area. Very close to Yosemite. We plan on coming back. John was great and allowed early checking.

Even better than the pictures! So quiet, close drive to the West gate of Yosemite-close to half dome, Yosemite valley, the iconic park stops. Very comfortable and spacious.
The house is amazingly large with two large bedrooms and bathrooms and large kitchen. The house is in a neighborhood away from the crowds with a large porch for morning coffee or evening dinner. The beds are comfortable and house is clean. Would recommend to all travelers!
The proximity to Yosemite sold me on this home. The rural location provided a place to relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The home was spacious and comfortable and the beds were great. I would definitely recommend this home for both couples and families.
We loved this place! It was a great home base for our time in Yosemite. The home was clean and well-furnished with all we needed. And the property is quiet and in a great location. Just like the property name says, we saw deer wandering by in the evening and morning. Thanks John and Amy for hosting!
