Yosemite Family Home Away From Home!
We were very comfortable in this nice house with wonderful views of the river and the nearby mountains. Our favorite things about this house were the warm gas fireplace in the livingroom and complete kitchen. The property is only minutes from a Park entrance.

Decent option for Yosemite visits
Visited with 2 adults and two small children. A lot of nice things to note about the property. Close to Yosemite entrance so daily in and out of the park with kids was great. Kitchen had nice new pots and stocked with lots of cooking spices, coffee, utensils, etc. A clean, quiet, secluded spot along the river, which can be heard at night; with no problem for sleep time. Deer greeted us in the morning in the backyard.
A few things could be upgraded as it appears to be an older house. Beds were not particularly comfortable, a bit too wobbly and squeaky. Filtered water faucet was a trickle when we used it so it was hard to even fill up one cup, definitely not our canteens for day trips. Tap was supposedly potable so we didn’t bother boiling and didn’t have any issues. Definitely zero phone reception when not on wifi, but we read about that in advance so no surprises there.
We were in the park most of the day so only came back for dinner and sleep.
Overall, a very decent option for Yosemite visits.
