Home away from home

We loved our stay here! This home was a scenic drive away from Yosemite and was a perfect place to relax after a day at the park. There were only four of us and the house had so much room that we wished we had brought more family with us! Perfect place to stay near Yosemite ❤️

We appreciate the effort the owner went to decorate the house for Christmas. It was cheery and festive, with a lit Christmas tree, holiday treats, and lots of cute decorations. The park, of course, was amazing. It was nice to come back to such a cozy cabin.

This was a great stay for our family of 6! We got the YARTS bus passes to get us into Yosemite, and the YARTS bus stop was RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from this rental! GREAT! There is also a great little old-town of Midpines, just 8 minutes away to walk around and enjoy to local culture!

Wonderful Cabin!

My elderly uncles stayed here for 10 days and had a great time! They "forgot" to check out on the designated date and the hosts were wonderful about accommodating them and making sure they got to their next destination. They loved the roomy, clean and cozy cabin which was well located for their Yosemite adventures. This cabin made all the difference in how they enjoyed the park. It was world's apart from staying in a hotel room.

A great visit with visiting family

My two brothers and a sister-in-law came to visit us from the east coast. We thought it would be great to take them to see Yosemite. We searched out this house back in December and thought it sounded like it would work. Turned out, it was perfect. It had lots of room, was very comfortable, and was fully equipped with everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay. Thanks for making it available to us vacation renters.

Spacious house nearby Yosemite

The house is spacious and well equipped. We had everything we need. The house is directly located at the 140 leading into Yosemite, so perfect for visits into the NP, the traffic is a bit noisy in the night and morning. It was too hot to sit on the terrace, but there are two and also chairs besides the creek.

We stayed here during our visit to Yosemite. It is about 35 minutes from the west entrance of the park. The kitchen was well stocked. The Pioneer market is 10 minutes away so we cooked in dinner for 2 nights. The prices at Pioneer Market were very reasonable for a vacation town. It was great to have a washer and dryer and laundry detergent was provided. The common spaces were very spacious and the cabin itself was charming. The bathrooms have a bit of an odd setup, but has everything you need. The host was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again if we visit Yosemite.

We had a good visit- the house was well stocked with towels, blankets, kitchen tools, etc. We never figured out the drip coffee maker, but the keurig filled in and was well stocked. Washer and dryer were also handy. It was great to have a large dining room table we could all eat at comfortably.
