Tenaya at Yosemite

10/10 Excellent

"I wish we had more time to use the property amenities, but overall what an amazing property."

Storybook Chalet inside Yosemite National Park

10/10 Excellent

"Eric was very responsive from the minute we started the booking process. The house was clean and stocked with all the essentials ! Beds were comfy and the hot tub and pool table were a plus! So happy we stayed inside Yosemite as it is a hike to all the sites, and well worth it. Would highly recommend this house."

Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages

8/10 Good

"We are on a cross country road trip and saw this RV park with a “heated cabin” just outside Yosemite. Sounded charming. It is primarily an RV/Safari tent venue. Our cabin was roomy and well stocked, but it was also drafty and quite cool …even with a heater. Wi-Fi worked for tablets and phones, but not computers. Not a big deal for just one night. We would have been more comfortable in the lodge next door….if we had known."

Yosemite Valley Lodge

8/10 Good

"It was nice staying IN the park. Keeping in mind that’s a national park and not a luxury resort I expected less in that respect. The room had cobwebs which is okay but the bathroom smelled of urine, not okay. The shower curtain was about 6-8 inches too long and had a terrible odor to it. The front desk staff just seemed tired and worn out. Not as helpful as they could’ve been. The sports bar/lounge was nice with friendly wait staff. But the beauty of being in such an amazing place seemed to outweigh all the negative. Definitely worth staying there but you need to plan WAY in advance for reservations. I made ours 5 months ago and was told at that time that it was the last available."
