Home was clean and welcoming. Stores are not close by, its about a 20 minute drive. A home like this should have all the condoments needed which it didn't. We love how it backed up to a creek and felt like we were in the woods. The wild life was amazing seeing bambi and her momma and wild turkey's. The property in the backyard was full of weeds and some in the front yard as well. ##### Arianna M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nguyen T.

We were a little disappointed at how far this house was from Yosemite. It was an hour and a half drive, 2 times a day. That is on us though. No TVs in the bedrooms. Tankless water heater so there was unlimited hot water which was nice for our large family. There were a couple wild turkeys running around that we enjoyed watching. The river was nice but bring mosquito spray. We were getting eaten alive! I would say overall this house is very simple, clean, and comfortable. Meets all basic needs and felt safe. ##### Abi R.

This great house is good for a family vacation. It’s very comfortable but lacking some kitchen supplies and pots and pans. It’s only an hour and a half drive to Yosemite valley.

It was very spacious and well furnished. We were able to walk down to the river / creek behind the property and spend some quality time there. Even saw flocks of turkey wandering about that was quite fun for the kids! The host also called us the first day to make sure we were settled in and that was quite nice. Plenty of shopping and dining options at a 5-7 min drive so we didnt really have to worry about food at any time. Overall a 5/5 experience and we wouldnt mind staying there again when we visit Yosemite next time. ##### Bhanu Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer N.

Convenient location \~1.5 hours away from the park, located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, utinsels, and cutlery (even some appliances like a toaster and hand mixer) which was very nice since we opted to have home cooked meals instead of eating out. The little pathway leading to the river in the back was also a nice little surprise! Overall, the house was very clean and well maintained. Great communication and timely responses from the host. I would definitely stay here again for my next trip to Yosemite! ##### Hannah N. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dennis C. Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Few issues but overall good The house was very clean when we arrived, however the furniture in the living room is different from the pictures. After a hard day of hiking we were planning on sitting back with our legs propped up on the sectional shown in the picture. It is now just a couch and loveseat with no ottoman to put your feet up on. The King size bed was very comfortable, I think it is a memory foam mattress. The bathrooms had no wash cloths so my wife used the one hand towel as a wash cloth which meant we now had no hand towel but there were plenty of large bath towels. The pot holders need to be replaced, I almost burnt my thumb using a beat up old pot holder that was missing some of the padding/silicone. Also bring your own ice because there is no icemaker or ice cube trays that you could make ice with. It is about 70-80 minutes to get to the south gate of Yosemite so if you want to get closer you will pay more and I don't think you will find anything much closer than 45-60 minutes away from the gate. ##### Dennis C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo Ann M. Jul 22, 2018 #### Comfortable stay I think I was much more pleased than I expected to be with this house. The liked the house layout with the three bedroom doors close to each other, and yet the rooms were private, one from the other. The house was staged for a super comfortable stay, from the towels and bedding, to the couch and TV entertainment, to the full kitchen and accessories, and the creek nearby. We enjoyed breakfasts at the patio as we heard the creek flow. We also enjoyed the creek itself, swimming in one of the many accessible watering holes. The house was 30 minutes from Oakdale - where we did our grocery shopping - and was 30 minutes from Mariposa - where we enjoyed the main street shops and museum. And, the house was 1.5 to 2.0 hours away from different Yosemite sites, so we got used to the long drives. Additionally, Paul was prompt in responding to every communication and even checked in every once in a while. ##### Jo Ann M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca O. Jun 25, 2018 #### Comfy place for a decent price! Slightly over an hour from Yosemite, but 15-20 minutes to conveniences of town. Beautiful home with plenty of amenities! Loved having a nice spacious kitchen to cook in. The multiple outdoor seating options were nice and relaxing, even though not too private from neighbors. Really cool firepit area with plenty of wood from recently cut trees! Our master bed was pretty comfy, others must have been comfy too because there were no complaints. Loved our bathroom with lots of counter space and good water pressure in shower. Water from sink was amazing to drink! Only pretty minor issues related to traveling with the elderly---had to use chairs/tv tray to elevate my parents luggage so they didn't have to bend down (bedrooms had one nightstand and no dressers.) Also, path to beautiful creek was pretty steep and too much for my elderly parents with bad knees to handle. But they soaked in plenty of creek/waterfall beauty at Yosemite! ##### Rebecca O. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### yvonne s. Jul 23, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The mountains were calling , so we went! Cant say enough about how much we enjoyed staying here. Our first night in we had five turkeys visit us in the backyard. And were greeted several time by deer. The house was spacious. With a great flow. Everything was labeled making it easy to find items and put things away. We used Paul's place to spring board our day trips in the area. My cousin won the lottery to climb the last 600 ft of half dome 2 made it to the "visor" and the other 2 to the sub dome. ..so proud of them. We also went to kings canyon and sequoia national park. . There were only a few things I would change. 1) more side tables in the bed rooms. Several people in our party use cpap machines. We only had seven towels for our party of eight but this wasnt a big deal since we washed every day. And I think I forgot to run the dishwasher before we left. My apologies paul :( but he is one of the nicest hosts I've stayed with thankyou so much ##### yvonne s. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Moshiur Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness We stayed for 3 nights. The house is very clean and organized but furnitures are outdated. The bed was not comfortable and very squeaky. Both toilets made loud sound after every flush and the oven was very old and noisy. The creek nearby was easy to get to and very pretty. We even saw a deer the first day. Unfortunately, we did encounter a problem during our stay. We were notified by the owner the day before our arrival that the main bridge to the house is closed for the week and we will have to use the alternative route. When we got there, the road was completely unpaved and covered in rocks. It’s very narrow and only one way so it’s hard to let an oncoming car pass. It goes up and around the mountain so not much space. Our tires took some damage from that road condition and we had to drive very slowly, which added to our drive time. We asked the owner if we can check out one day early and get refund for just that one night but he refused. We had plans to stay at Yosemite to see the sunset but we couldn’t because we didn’t feel comfortable driving on that road in the dark since there are no street lights. It was very disappointing that we had to change our plans. We came from very far away and not sure when we’ll return to Yosemite again. ##### Moshiur ### 8/10 Good #### Jose Oscar De Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice ##### Jose Oscar De Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cesar S.
