Vacation Rentals by Owner

Great house, great location

This house fit our needs perfectly. The kitchen is arranged well and had all the equipment we needed. This is by far the cleanest vacation home we have ever rented. One of the best features of the house are the large windows in the front room. The kids enjoyed watching all the different kinds of birds in the morning and then watching the mule deer that would visit every afternoon. We loved being close to the park entrance but far from the Spring Break crowds we saw in the valley. Nearby Groveland offered several dining options. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

Just got back from this wonderful place, and I really miss the sound of the river. It's one of the first things we all noticed when we got out of our car..... so beautiful, even with only one window open in the cabin you can here the river- we all loved it. The cabin is awesome, it is so well taken care of and the quality is outstanding. Clear pine tounge and groove ceilings throughout brought back childhood memories. The bathroom is perfect, nice tile work, soaker tub, again with the river sounds, because there is a small window in the bathroom. The air is so fresh, the trees, the sky, the land, I miss it all. I highly recommend staying at this cabin, they have thought of everything ( I over packed). Getting to Yosemite was really a snap- if you leave before 8:30 am, it is only 5 miles or approximately 8 minutes! You enter at the 120 West entrance of Yosemite and their is an information station right as you enter to plan your day and route. The people who work at Yosemite are really kind and helpful. This was a great trip and coming back to this cabin at the end of the day was so nice. A couple days we just stayed at the cabin, relaxing. Thanks for such a great cabin!!!

Fantastic stay

We loved our time at the Yosemite River Cabin. The property was very well equipped, very clean and modern.we really struggled with whether we should stay in the park or outside the park, but we are so glad we stayed here because it was close enough to be convenient, but far enough away to get much better value for money, and to be away from the crowds of the park.

An Oasis in the Woods

Guest: Bill (Durham, NC)
Date of Stay: 06/18/11 Review Submitted: 06/28/11

What a delightful place to stay! Absolutely charming interior with attractive tile floors, full kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. There's even a handy stackable washer and dryer, which enables you to travel light. The phrase "warm and cozy" does not completely capture how inviting the Yosemite River Cabin actually is. And you can hear the soothing gurgle of the passing Tuolumne River from the open screen door off the kitchen. The YRC is ideally located about 40-45 minutes from the Yosemite Valley floor--we never felt like it was too far from where we were exploring. It is such a memorable place that I can picture staying there again and again. I highly recommend this 'Oasis in the Woods' for all travelers. 5 stars!!!

Delightful home!

This beautifully decorated and thoughtfully provisioned home was the perfect setting for our family gathering - parents and adult children. We were pleasantly surprised at the brilliant use of a small space. The property was sparkling clean and well-maintained. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the river was memorable. The wooden bench by the river was a perfect place for morning coffee in the sun! The location was convenient - close to the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite. Everything was perfect!

This home was amazing. Perfect size for 4 - 6 people. The location was close to Yosemite. The river in the backyard was absolutely amazing and wonderful for summer. The home itself was immaculate and so clean. Not a signle speck of dust anywhere. The kitchen was so well equiped. Overall, awesome experience!

We had a great time staying at the Yosemite River Cabin. It is absolutely beautiful. It was so peaceful listening to the river behind the cabin. We will be returning here for sure.

Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your cabin. After pulling up and seeing how beautiful the surroundings were from the grounds, to the trees, to the sounds of the river, I knew this was going to be a great place for us to stay. Once entering the cabin, I couldn't stop from telling my husband over and over how clean everything was (I'm a bit of a clean freak). You would expect some dust or dirt being that it is a cabin in the mountains, but no. I was very impressed. The new appliances, the comfy beds-everything was absolutely perfect! The cabin was so quiant, yet very comfortable for our family. This is by far the nicest place we have rented, and it will be so tough to beat-we may have to return! Thanks again!

Great place, thought of everything and close to Yosemite

The 5 of us stayed for three nights at this great place. Previous people said it best - Charming, clean warm, and beautifully decorated. The owners have really thought of everything to make our stay so enjoyable! The house has all you need, the furnishings are top notch, nice linens and towels, washer/dryer, including soap and all cleaning supplies. We spent three days all around Yosemite and then came back to this restful place. It was great to sit in the back, drink coffee in the morning and listen to the river. The kids loved the river and big yard with tons of ladybugs! Such a perfect time and great memory! Thank you!

"We have totally enjoyed our four nights at the cabin. We felt so welcomed when we arrived... Charming, clean and beautifully decorated. Also, nice touch to have the basics and more in the cupboards! We have spent two full days hiking at Yosemite, Vernal Falls & Tuolumne Meadows & finally wonderful wedding down at the Tuolumne Camp. Absolutely perfect time! Thank you, Diane & Ron

"Renting a house is a real leap of faith. We were so happy to arrive and see that everything was as promised. This is a wonderful spot and our whole family enjoyed it. The managers have the fastest labeler in the west, everything was where it should be. Nice work! Next time we'll dedicate more time to Tuolumne Meadows. Yosemite is the best! Thanks, JC, Charlotte, Harrison, Elizabeth and Stewart"

"Wow! What a wonderful place! This was stop 3 on our 5 part vacation. We had a wonderful time. Yosemite is beautiful. We also enjoyed the secret 'Rainbow Pools'. Jumping from the cliffs and going under the waterfall was awesome! We are on our way to Disneyland now. Embassy Suites won't be as wonderful as this was (with the exception of the made-to-order breakfast!) See you next time, Anna, Dionne, Aidan & Griffin"

"We arrived on Thursday evening, and we were thrilled to find the cabin's accommodations so nice. Both the cabin and the grounds are beautiful!... ...We enjoyed the cabin and it's river in the mornings- we enjoyed using the BBQ too. Winding down in the evening with a movie was a perfect ending to our perfect days. Both my husband and I, and my sister and her husband (from Pennsylvania) had a wonderful time. It will be an unforgetable vacation for us and our kids. We hope to return. Lou and Margene, thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin with our families." The Millers & Mullens

"After an exhausting cross country air flight & four days of sightseeing in San Francisco, we arrived here to find your beautiful cabin by the water! Likewise, after a long day of exploring the breathtaking natural wonders of Yosemite N.P., we could not wait to return here to unwind with dinner and a movie. Staying here was the perfect ending to our family vacation. We can only imagine the work and planning that went into making this cabin so warm and charming. Thank you for sharing it all."

"Six of us spent a wonderful weekend at this gorgeous cabin. We spent Saturday hiking up the Mist Trail to the top of Nevada Falls & down the John Muir Trail. It was a fun, but exhausting day. We were so happy to return to the cabin to shower & relax & watch a movie. We all had a great night's sleep in the very comfortable beds. We enjoyed our Sunday morning coffee in the sunshine beside the rushing river. Went off to walk at Hetch Hetchy & then had a lovely lunch at the Evergreen Lodge. A great weekend!"
