Alder Lodge

Very clean and well equipped in general. However, I was told there were extra towels for the hot tub and there were none. We had to use bath towels and then wash them. Also, they were very short on dinner knives. We had an issue with starting the dryer, which we resolved by switching the plugs on the washer and dryer. The dryer worked but was very loud. Also, update the fireplace instructions as it said to turn the timer, but it’s a thermostat that you have to turn the temperature up to start. We would definitely stay there again as it has great access to Yosemite Valley.

There were 8 of us - 4 adults, and 3 children under 6 years old. It was perfect. The furniture and whole setup of the house was pretty toddler/kid friendly. We loved the hot tub for soaking after a long day of hiking carrying our kids around. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to make all our meals while there. The only thing I would say about the kitchen is that there was not any tupperware/storage containers for leftovers. The beds were super comfy. The kids room was downstairs, while the adult King bed rooms upstairs. The washer/dryer was used daily and so valuable to us. There is no wifi and cell service in the area is slim to none, which made for a very relaxing device free vacay. Just down the road is the valley with a great view at night for stargazing. I would stay here again for sure!

This is the perfect spot to experience Yosemite. The house is very clean, bright, and comfortable with generous amenities and a great hot tub. We shared it with another friendly and it gave us both privacy and festive shared space. Most of all, the location is ideal and the surrounding woods are gorgeous.

From the moment we arrived, the property was spotless, spacious, and the kitchen was impressively stocked with everything we could possibly need. This home has truly set a new benchmark for our future VRBO stays. We especially appreciated the convenience of having more than three bathrooms and knowing the hot tub was cleaned upon our arrival. We had no communication on site with service, but did not need anything. Communication prior was exceptional.One note: while the bunk beds are perfect for children, they may not provide adequate comfort for adult guests. And, would recommend additional towels in bathrooms specific for hot tub use.
