The photos don’t do this house justice! It’s way bigger than we thought and it was perfect for our three families, with a total of 12 people and we didn’t even use the upstairs loft! The master is huge (our family of 5 fit in it!) and there was enough bathrooms for everyone. Great place to stay. Only thing is that there are a lot of bees outside, so just be mindful if you have an allergy. The host is super easy to communicate with and even brought over extra kitchen towels for us when we couldn't find any extras. The kids loved the pool with the diving board and the hot tub. Would absolutely stay here again, no hesitation.

The booking process was smooth, with the host promptly answering all my questions in detail. Check-in was easy thanks to clear directions and a provided check-in code. The property was clean and well-equipped, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From the kitchen to the bedrooms and bathrooms, it was thoughtfully furnished. The added bonus of games and books was a nice touch. While we didn't use the fireplace (it was summer!), we checked it out and it seemed to work well. The pool was fantastic – clean, fun, and perfect for the kids. They had a blast with the pool toys! The hot tub looked inviting, but we didn’t have a chance to try it. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The host was friendly and helpful. We’d definitely consider staying here again.

It was a great experience! More than I could ask for. The cabin sits far enough from other places but close enough to Yosemite that we were able to enjoy the park and alone time all in one place. I will highly recommend this place.
