One of the Best Weekends of My Life

EmilyYosemite (Tarzana, CA)
Review submitted: April 11, 2013   Date of arrival: April 4, 2013

My friend Jon was turning 30 on April 2nd and my friend Igor was turning 37 on April 4th. My friends and I wanted to celebrate these two amazing people by having a nice, long weekend getaway - and that's exactly what we did! I contacted this rental property and had reservations within 48 hours. It was SO reasonably priced for how amazing the cabin was. It was spacious with all the amenities of home; a large fridge, coffee pot, soaps, conditioners, shampoos, coffee, full kitchen (with amazing knives), a great BBQ - I could do on for hours. It was perfect! We spent 1 full day in Yosemite and then (because the cabin was so beautiful) we decided to spend a full day just around the house. We panned for gold in the river and left with a small Tupperware container full of gold! I cannot be more pleased with my experience and the friendliness of the Kim and Keith. We are definitely going to be doing this on a yearly basis.

Lots of wildlife, beautiful spacious cabin/house

I highly recommend this place to everyone. It has everything you can possibly want. The property is in perfect condition, wifi, spa, cool area for the kids, lots and lots of deers running around everywhere and they came so close to us. There is a river in the backyard. We rented a lot of houses from this site and so far, this is by far the best. The owners are very nice, honest and fair.

Relaxing getaway

Review submitted: January 6, 2013   Date of arrival: December 30, 2012

This place was absolutely amazing. Its right in the middle of the forest. The sounds of the river below the property were so peaceful. The cabin was so spacious and comfortable. The owners had the place stocked with firewood so we enjoyed many nights snuggled up by the fire. The hot tub worked great and really felt good after a 2 hour walk around this quiet neighborhood. We also had a family of deer visit us every afternoon which was awesome. The kitchen had everything you need to make a meal for 12. Bbq worked great. Nice to have a washer and dryer too. Good place for a peaceful getaway with close friends and family. Will definitely be staying here in the future.

Owners response: Thank you for you kind words. We get all excited when we see the deer too.

Great getaway for visiting Yosemite

Review submitted: August 4, 2012   Date of arrival: July 28, 2012

Had a wonderful weekend in the Knarly Oaks River House, definitely could've stayed a couple of days longer.
The house is clean and very well-equiped. It just has al the utilities you need to make it a perfect vacation.
It is the perfect getaway for big groups of friends or families who want to visit Yosemite National Park during day (only one-hour and a half drive from the Valley, so you need a car) and come home in the evening to enjoy what the house has to offer. We made extensive use of the spa and the BBQ and had a cosy evening playing games by the fireplace.
The house is located in the middle of nature, surrounded by trees and close to a little river. The views of the night sky and its shooting stars straight from the spa on the sun deck are just wonderful.

The owners, Kim and Keith, are very friendly and helpful and are willing to give you all the information you need in order to make your stay perfect. I would like to thank them and let them know that I'll definitely recommend their house to friends and family.
