Reviews

Loved the views

It’s an older home but had everything you need the only bad part is that the children’s bed rooms where downstairs and it was scary for them to stay there alone

Beautiful property and amazing property managers

Had an amazing stay with my household. The house was awesome, the beds were comfy, there was wild life around which was so cute! We went to yosemite during the day and the drive there wasnt too bad.

Relaxing

The property was very nice and relaxing. The kids loved exploring the grounds, and watching the wild turkeys and deers that came into the property. The house felt like you were very tucked away and secluded even though the neighbors where not to far away. Hot tub was great and the kids loved playing ping pong. If you have small children (for your own peace of mind) I would suggest bringing a baby gate the stairs are a little steep to the play area. I would definitely stay there again. The owners were very quick to respond and gave me some nice tips if I was traveling to the Yosemite area, we decided to get a boat on the water instead.

Nice Cozy Place

The place was as we expected, the heater was on, so the cabin was warm since we show up at nighttime, it was perfect for my kiddos. Has a lot of room. For everyone.

So beautiful and best hot tub ever!!!

My friends and i stayed for 4 days just to have a low-key and re-energizing trip and it was definitely that! Huge, quiet space with full kitchen! Oven gets VERY hot but great otherwise! Owner was cool and very responsive! Highly recommend the place!!
