Jun 11, 2025 #### Nice location and value The park is a relatively quick drive from here. One of the closer options we found. Very clean, great WiFi, well stocked and comfortable. Bedrooms are tight but it’s good for a couple. ##### Danny S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Cathleen G. Jun 7, 2024 #### Close to park entrance! Stayed here over Memorial weekend when there were zero reservations in the park. Only about 15 minutes from the entrance and a little over an hour to the valley floor. Only 3 minutes off hwy 120. If you are looking for quiet alternative to noisy campgrounds in the park this home is a good option. Perfect size for couple or family. ##### Cathleen G. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelly A. Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Attorney Everything was great except the lock on the front door was extremely difficult. On the second and third days we decided to leave the door unlocked, fearing if we were able to get it locked we would probably be locked out when we returned. When we left for good on the fourth day we were unable to lock the door so left the properly unlocked. ##### Kelly A.

Beautiful cottage. Be prepared - no tv, no cell service (Verizon). Nice to have games available to play for kids and adults. Driveway needs work. Our truck was fine.

Jul 28, 2021 #### Great cabin close to the entrance of Yosemite It was a great cabin for what we needed. We wanted a place close to the entrance and also accessible to Hetch Hetchy, tioga pass, and yosemite valley. The cabin had all the basic amenities. The washer and dryer was definitely a nice perk. There is no AC, but that didn't matter to us since we were gone during the hottest part of the day. Bed and pillows were comfy and in a very quiet. We were originally scheduled to stay in thousand lakes, but made a change to a more secluded area at the last minute. It was a good change for us! ##### Leslie M. ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Meadowood Napa Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Helena-Hotels-Meadowood-Napa-Valley.h7673916.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Valley Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Yosemite-Valley-Lodge.h16279668.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Panama](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Panama.h3900395.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Sonoma-Hotels-Fairmont-Sonoma-Mission-Inn-Spa.h465.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Banff](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d10550-tSpaHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hyatt Carmel Highlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Carmel-Hotels-Hyatt-Carmel-Highlands.h8495.Hotel-Information) > > [Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Rancho-Santa-Fe-Hotels-Rancho-Valencia-Resort-And-Spa.h17535.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ahwahnee](https://www.expedia.ca/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-The-Ahwahnee.h974797.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wakefield](https://www.expedia.ca/Wakefield-Hotels.d59953.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Saint-Laurent Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotel-Saint-Laurent-Montreal.h890066.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakehouse Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Marcos-Hotels-Lakehouse-Hotel-And-Resort.h909721.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893179.Hotel-Information) > > [Curry Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Curry-Village.h42942960.Hotel-Information) > > [River Rock Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-River-Rock-Casino-Resort.h4810562.Hotel-Information) > > [Alila Ventana Big Sur - Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Monterey-Hotels-Alila-Ventana-Big-Sur-Adults-Only.h574252.Hotel-Information) > > [Cedar Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Portal-Hotels-Cedar-Lodge.h889912.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ranch at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Ranch-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893189.Hotel-Information) > > [Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Portal-Hotels-Indian-Flat-RV-Park-Tent-Cabins-Cottages.h10409843.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Hotel in Cobourg](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobourg-Hotels-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d7539-tBeachHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Wessex Inn By The Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Duncan-Hotels-Wessex-Inn-By-The-Sea.h6389303.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/las/seattle-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Xiamen (XMN) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/xmn/yvr/xiamen-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Ahmedabad (AMD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/amd/calgary-to-ahmedabad) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/pvr/winnipeg-to-puerto-vallarta) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/lgw/calgary-to-london) ### Packages > [Fredericton Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Fredericton.d3935.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Parliament Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Parliament-Hill-Downtown-Ottawa.d502188.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Florida](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/golf-vacations/211/Florida)
