10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
We had a lovely time at this residence. So much character in this home!
All the kitchen appliances were spotless.
We call this place home as we spent three days in Yosemite. A wonderful and easy drive to the park. Super convenient location.

We stayed here as we visited Yosemite. But when you visit Yosemite, you don't spend much time at the house.
The house had everything we needed!
Very close to the camp site thousand trails and the park entrance was super close!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2023
Great location, close to Yosemite, and private access to the south fork Tuolumne River. The interior of the house is comfortable with a mix of original and updated features and appliances. It has central air which was welcome. It could use some newer linens, towels, and pillows though.
Some parts of the exterior of the house are rundown, like the exterior front steps that are crumbling a little bit (may be a hazard to older people) and the rail on the back steps which is really wobbly and about to break away.
Beware the interior lower bedroom door is lockable and the provided key to the house does not open it. We found this out the hard way when it got accidentally locked and shut. Luckily, after searching all the drawers, closets, and cabinets for about an hour we found the keys that unlocked the door. Dan, the owner, was responsive to my calls about this but he couldn’t really do anything about it since he doesn’t live in the area. Everyone (guests and owner) should know of this possibility and the location of the keys to open the door.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2025
Unfortunately, our stay at this rental was disappointing, especially given the potential the property has with a few much-needed improvements.
While the location near the Yosemite entrance is great and the interior is spacious with decent WiFi and kitchen basics, the overall condition of the property left a lot to be desired.
There were serious cleanliness and maintenance issues. We found mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers, and dirty diapers were left outside on the ground—completely unacceptable and unsanitary. The downstairs bedroom had ripped-up carpet exposing cold cement floors, and the tack strips by the door were not covered, which we ended up stepping on—very painful and dangerous.
The outdoor stairs leading to the house were crumbling and felt like a major hazard. The yard was full of fallen trees, making it unusable and uninviting. Despite the listing saying there was a fire pit, we couldn’t find one. There was also supposed to be coffee and cooking spices provided, but the coffee was nonexistent, and the spices were old, dried out, and unusable.
Adding to the frustration, there’s no cell service at the property, and it was difficult to contact the owner when issues came up. Although the roof had a tarp from recent damage, thankfully there were no leaks, but it didn’t add to the feeling of a well-kept place.
This home could be a fantastic rental with better upkeep, attention to detail, and accurate listing information. Until then, I’d be cautious about booking unless you’re prepared for a very rustic and hands-off experience.
