“Communication was GREAT! Location was AWESOME! The house was clean and perfect!”

— Hillary W., June 2026

“This was a wonderful place to stay for a group of 6 (4 adults, two kids)! The house was extremely well appointed and the hosts had everything labeled and easy to find. We loved having the kitchen to prep easy breakfast & lunches before heading off to explore Yosemite, and having space to spread out once we got back from long days out. The location was excellent as well - truly only 5 minutes to the south entrance which made a big difference in drive time and helped us explore more of the park. We would happily stay here again!”

“This cozy cabin is just about as close as you can get to the South entrance of Yosemite. If you're looking for a place for your family to spend a relaxing weekend away, this has it all. My kids loved the pool table and I loved the spaciousness to spread out and cook in a real kitchen rather than staying in a cramped hotel room. Perfect way to visit the National Park. Thorne was highly informative and helpful. Thank you for being a great host!”

“Everything was exactly as described in the listing. Hosts super helpful in the lead up to the trip with information about the property along with Yosemite. Spent lots of time on the patio and in the kitchen, which had ample cooking utensils, Super close to the south Yosemite entrance. There are labels throughout the property to prevent any confusion and help you understand how to adjust the temperature, use the stove, turn on the grill outside, etc. Outstanding property and hosts!”

“Beautiful property! Very generous space for the whole family of 8, with 3 different bathrooms, one on each level. The host was attentive and helpful with everything we needed (even before our stay, always on top of the information about access to Yosemite Park). The EV charger is a huge plus when you have an electric car. Thank you!”
