  • A wonderful cottage, great for small families or multiple couples. In addition to Yosemite, the nearby town of Mariposa is fun to explore, too.

  • My family just stayed at Yosemite Country Cottage for a relaxing long weekend. My parents are elderly and this was a perfect place -- it's well planned, 1 story, clean, well appointed, and a great place to just hang out and talk. The owner, Charles, is a good resource for what to do while visiting Yosemite -- I'm always amazed at what a beautiful park it is.

  • Our stay at Yosemite Country Cottage from July 20 to 25 was definitely one of the hghlights of our trip. After long days hiking and sight seeing in Yosemite it was a pleasure to return to YCC.The cottage is extremely clean and well appointed and everything we needed was available to us. We have stayed in other rental homes and we would definitely rate Yosemite Country Cottage a 10. We loved gazing at the stars while soaking in the hot tub. Charles is a wealth of information regarding all things Yosemite and the surrounding area. You couldn't ask for a better tourguide/host.

  • We stayed at Yosemite Country Cottage for 3 nights from 8th July to 11th July 2009. We had decided to travel all around California and started at Yosemite - we didn't want to leave. The cottage is so wonderful - as you open the front door you feel straight at home and the high standard of decor, furniture and cleanliness is clear to see - credit to Charles and Lisa for maintaing such high standards. Every photograph on the website is true to form. Yosemite is so vast we could only fit in a small part of the wonderful park - Charles is a fantastic host providing lots and lots of valuable information and tips on getting the most out of Yosemite. We will definately return at some point in the future and can't tell enough people how wonderful this cottage is and how worthwhile it is to stay there. Thanks Charls and Lisa - you set a very high standard for all the other places we then moved on to in California. Maria, Ivan, Gemma & Sophie - Accrington, Lancashire, UK"

  • This cottage is exactly like the pictures on the website - very clean, comfortable and peaceful! We have stayed in many vacation rentals and this is by far one of the best. Sitting in the hot tub in the evening is a wonderful way to gaze at the stars and relax after a day of hiking in Yosemite.

  • Yosemite Country Cottage was a perfect home away from home. It is new and so clean. We enjoyed how well furnished it was; couldn't think of anything else we could have needed. The owner was very helpful as to making sure we enjoyed our visit. Our party of 6 stayed a week. We would definitely stay again if we visit this area.
