4 Days in Yosemite
PaPa Bear was perfect for our family. Location, near Mariposa and close enough to the valley, was ideal. We had a fantastic vacation, unplugged.

Owners Need to put a more effort in updating a few things are going the property There and 8 track player on the living room ( 8track ) with a record player kitchen is completely rundown from the 70s TVs are 15 years old you can really bring this property back into the 22nd century with a few hundred bucks but clearly the owner just care about profit. Half the heaters don’t work. Half of the lights don’t work. We have stayed in many cabins prior to this we are also landlords and we are in the RV rental business as well, we know what to expect overall I give this property a 6 out of 10

Loved staying here.
Great location and very clean and spacious! We ran out of propane for grill and the property managers immediately refilled it when we asked. Only suggestion would be some mattress toppers to make bed more comfy and maybe make it more clear on website that no fires are allowed in fireplace until November.

Place was NOT CLEANED
We arrived and the unit had an overall musty smell. The freezer contained old food and had a meat smell with an ice tray that had been half used. The grill was dirty and under the bed in the upstairs room had the belongings of some previous guest. In light of COVID19 this was incredibly unsettling! We spent the first part of our trip thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting which we SHOULD not have to do. I am requesting that we are refunded the cleaning fee. Please provide this feedback to the management company because this has nothing to do with the owners. Very scary
