The cottage was wonderful. It is close to the highway (but there is no noise) and the directions took use directly there with no confusion. Peace and quiet are the primary words for description. The couches and beds are comfortable. We had all we needed for meals in the kitchen. The primary bathroom was great, we both loved the large shower. The owner was very helpful with tips for visiting Yosemite NP. This was very helpful with timing on arrival to the park, and places to be and see. The house was spotless. We appreciated the labels on light switches and cabinets.

Very nice house not far from Yosemite.

Beautiful home, richly appointed, modern and spacious. Property is nestled in the foothills off the western entrance to Yosemite and provided panoramic night views of the Milky Way. Very secluded off the main road and quiet. Charles was very informative about Yosemite having been an employee of the park for 40 years. His insights helped make our stay in the park even more enjoyable. We highly recommend staying here.

The house is spacious and its not far from Yosemite. My family and I enjoy the stay here and the house has plenty of cooking ware for us to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. The house owner provides many good recommendation hiking trails in Yosemite and near by attraction in advance which is super helpful. I would highly recommend the space for family who plans to visit Yosemite! The only small downside is there is that you need to remember to bring your own coffee but they do have coffee machine and filter available.
