Super quiet and remote. Reasonably close to Yosemite. Although some of the kitchen furnishings were worn out and in need of replacement, it was clean and comfortable. Plenty of room to relax and spread out. Very poor AT&T connectivity, but WiFi saved the day. Loved having a washer and dryer!

The proximity to Yosemite sold me on this home. The rural location provided a place to relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The home was spacious and comfortable and the beds were great. I would definitely recommend this home for both couples and families.

We loved this place! It was a great home base for our time in Yosemite. The home was clean and well-furnished with all we needed. And the property is quiet and in a great location. Just like the property name says, we saw deer wandering by in the evening and morning. Thanks John and Amy for hosting!
