Howard's Retreat

The space is perfect for a family and the kitchen has everything you need to cook or BBQ except any kind of spices. The tap water tasted great! The water gets very hot so caution getting into the shower! Our grandsons loved learning to play foosball. We watched the DVD’s there, Shrek and Star Trek, and there is a limited selection that you can borrow from Pine Market. We borrowed a puzzle from the free little library outside the market as well. The waterfall, meadow hike and swimming holes were perfect for us to cool off and stretch our legs on our first day after our drive in. They sell inner tubes at the market as well. We also really enjoyed the Yosemite history center! Well done!The only things I would call dirty was .. the TV screen and foosball table - seemed like they had not been wiped down in ages . It was really great having access to free laundry and towel exchange. Super helpful! We would stay here again to avoid the line to get into the park. We traveled with our 9 and 13 year old grandsons.

We enjoyed our time in this cozy cabin.

The property was a pleasant place to stay in the park and avoid the entry lines at the park boundaries.

Staying in the park is a must and this place was perfect for us and our adult daughter for three days. It could easily accommodate two more adults. As well located as anything not in the valley. Not fancy but nothing at all wrong with it. We would be very happy to stay here again and world recommended to family and friends. Local store was great.

All was really good. The only issue was the master bath toilet seat that had really bad yellow stain which was an eyesore and the toilet seat is highly recommended to be entirely replaced.
