Best place to stay for Yosemite

We had a great time here. Location is inside park so you don’t need to make peak time reservations for park entry Property has great view, plenty of room at living areas We had a lot of fun playing pools there. Rooms have everything you need and expect for vacation rental. Best part is communications with host. Eric was super helpful with all information we needed before, during and after our stay. We definitely will come back here for future trips!

Great Experience at Yosemite

The property is about 15 minutes away from the breathtaking tunnel view—best you’ll get for larger parties. Amenities were great, kitchen is upgraded and nice. Beds and showers were ok for evening and mornings preparing for and recovering from adventures in the park. Great place!

Vacation

We loved the property. My only note would be that the host required us to put our towels in the washer and dryer. With a 10 hour drive home, we do not want to wake up an extra hour early in order to wash the towels and put them in the dryer. So we brought our own towels. Also, with our car completely full, we do not want to drive with trash bags in our lap, trying to locate the dumpster far from the property. It would be nice if these simple things be included with the property.
