The house smelled like dogs or other animals even though the house says "No Pets". The instructions asked us to start the dishwasher prior to our departure but there was no dishwasher detergent. Likewise, the instructions asked us to start a load of laundry, prior to our departure, but alas no laundry detergent. I ended up buying both at the grocery store. There was not much in the house in way of supplies, etc. Maybe the previous quests cleaned them out. We think there were bed bugs in the second largest bedroom bed as I was bitten all night and ended up with red marks all over my legs and body. The TV remote was missing and even though we called, more than once, there was no resolution. The mattresses were very uncomfortable and, we think, were old. They had wooden boards tucked under the mattress. The office where we picked up the keys etc. was in complete disarray. When she saw the look on my face, the woman quickly said they were in the process of remodeling. However, to us, it looked like they were in financial trouble, or other trouble, and were scrambling to get out quickly. The patio was enjoyable albeit we were unfortunately visiting when the Mariposa wildfire was raging. Sadly, smoke and ashes filled the air at the house and all of Yosemite Valley. We could not believe that Yosemite National Park would allow campers to continue to BBQ and light camp fires with the wildfires happening so close by. The Park's air was thick with smoke and ashes falling from the sky as if it were snowing and people were still having BBQs and lighting camp fires! We could not believe the stupidity. The house is a bit of a drive to the park. Because of the fires and crowds, our best day was visiting Tuolumne Meadows at 8,600 feet. No smoke or ashes. It is gorgeous there. The Tioga Gas Mart restaurant in Lee Vining (not far from the meadows and a stunning drive) was an incredible surprise. The food delicious! When the Tuolumne park ranger suggested we go there for lunch, I nearly laughed to death. Have lunch at a gas station?!? The rangers insisted we would really enjoy the food. We are quite the foodies. We enjoy top quality food at upscale restaurants. We went there anyway to check it out and loved it. A fabulous place. Highly recommended.
