This is a great home base for anyone visiting Yosemite. Overall a great stay. ##### Carmen M. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa H. Oct 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute place Overall, our stay was great. The owners have gone to great extents to upgrade this cute old house. We pondered what it must have looked like back in the day it was built. We liked the historical artwork hanging. We were traveling with our two little kids. One slept in a pack-n-play that we brought, the other in a twin bed. I slept in the other twin bed, while my husband enjoyed the queen to himself. It was a good size for us. We didn't spend all that much time at the house, as we were visiting family and attending a funeral. The house rules are simple and Morgan kept in great communication with us. I'll disclose an experience we had that is no fault of the owners, and could not have been predicted... We arrived after dark. As we were navigating to the house, we turned onto the final street to find two cops had pulled over a car and were about to search it. We were distracted by the comotion and missed the driveway just two houses down. Not the best first impression. BUT we were happy to find the driveway was gated and survelanced, with off-street parking. We have stayed in California enough times to know not to leave anything unattended or unlocked. My husband goes as far as to pull a specific fuse in the car, so it can't be stolen. We felt safe at this house. ##### Melissa H.
