• This welcoming home is deep in Yosemite and one step from nature and as such is subject to the natural occurrences of snow, rain, wind, falling pine needles and leaves, dust/dirt, animals and insects.

Too expensive for what it is
If you need the location and don't mind the outdated cabin, this is good for you. This is first time in maybe 20 or 30 times we've rented a cabin that the check in process was delayed. We had to wait for about 45 mins on the side of the road waiting for the cleaning crew to finish up, way past check in time. The cabin badly needs some updating. Some doors don't shut properly, the bathroom door lock only works a few times, some power outlets didn't work, the shower sliding doors are stuck. Then outside, the wooden patio creaks and has nails sticking out everywhere. If you are not careful or have some kids, it is just a bad injury waiting to happen. The management for some reason is ultra conservative when it comes to providing basic supplies in the house. We ran out of hand soap, had just enough dish washing liquid (with water added) to survive the trip, had to ask for trash bags and dishwasher pods. All in all, one of the worst places we have rented. The location being inside of Yosemite gates gives it some leeway, but be wary, the price you pay may not be worth it.

Great location but inside leaves something to be desired
We stayed in this cabin while exploring Yosemite for a few days. The location was amazing but the inside is rough. There is some mold growth in the one bathroom that needs work. The towels are getting ragged and need to be replaced. The beds are a bit lumpy. If you are planning to be in the park and just need a place to crash this is fine.

Great Place in its Day
Location of the cabin was wonderful and we loved Yosemite. The cabin itself needs to be updated - including painting, a good cleaning, new carpet, new stove, etc. The bathrooms were good with plenty of towels and beds were fine. It has good bones and could be a showplace again. Hopefully it will be some day.
