A beautiful hideaway in West Yosemite community. The cabin was spotless and well appointed; we found the bed extremely comfortable, and loved the jacuzzi bath - especially after a hard day's hike. Melissa and Jeff were excellent at communicating and very helpful - we had the pleasure of meeting Jeff and he was super friendly. The cabin is approx 35-40 drive from all the major trailheads in the valley and Glacier Point - very convenient, but tucked away from the crowds in absolute serenity. We would love to return!

The house was perfect for our 25th Anniversary trip! Loved staying in the park, and it is in a great location. It had everything we needed and the rear deck offered great sunset views. There are quite a few stairs to get your bags down, but if you're planning on exploring any Yosemite trails this is just a warm up. Would stay again!

Beautiful Cottage in Yosemite We loved our stay at the cottage from June 24 - June 26th! The location was beautiful and very convenient to Yosemite. We loved having a peaceful escape at the end of a day of hiking and the views from the balcony are incredible! The cottage was cozy and had everything we would want for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We will definitely recommend to friends and book again on our next trip to Yosemite!

Great Quiet Property & Helpful Owner; If budget allows, stay inside Yosemite to avoid daily entrance line like this property which is extremely well maintained and clean. Because it shares no walls/ceiling, no noise from others. A/C works but even better are the back deck w/grill, fully stocked kitchen and windows that open easily. Very comfortable bed and furniture. Jeff opened the gas tank on grill for me. He also shipped my wife's rings to us when she left them on the counter by mistake. I liked staying close to but not in Yosemite Valley which is crowded. Easy to get to all the sights from property. Great 3 night stay.

Perfect Hideaway The mountain hideaway was a beautiful cottage for two. We were very comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed. I also appreciated how everything looked new and not second hand such as towels and silverware. The location was great. It is easy to get to any place in the park from. Just be aware there are more stairs to get to the cottage than pictured. I highly recommended staying here!

A lovely property The cabin is very cozy and very well equipped. Communication with the owners since booking thru check-out was quick and informative. Because of our age, the stairs (ascent) were challenging only during our pack-up. We had no problem, we just paced ourselves. The last road up to the cabin was an adventure. We just prayed we would not encounter another car and we didn’t. It was the only aspect we said we wouldn’t miss! I would highly recommend this cabin.
