Good location. Pretty close to the southern gate and Oakhurst.
We had a wonderful time - everything was provided and the home had a very good ambiance. The location couldn’t have been more perfect, right near the entrance to sequoia national park. The surroundings were so serene, and we enjoyed the ducks coming up from the river to visit each morning. A perfect place for those who enjoy nature.

Thank you for such a wonderful review. We definitely invite you back anytime!
This cabin was a wonderful place to stay just outside Yosemite National Park. I am not sure you could get any closer to the park without being in the park. Everything was super clean, and while the property is right on the road, it still felt private and peaceful.
Very convenient to the park, We had three adults and a one year old baby and this cabin had everything we needed to make our vacation a great one. A full kitchen, laundry, two baths and a patio with grill. The next visit to Yosemite we will stay here again.

Quiet and well located to get into Yosemite. Very large and new space for the two of us, a whole family and/or a group of friends could easily spread out in this home. Bathrooms and kitchen were new and clean. Excellent to have a washer and dryer. Parking for two cars was covered and easily accessible. Very very nice place to stay!
We had an amazing trip to Yosemite staying here. The location is phenomenal and only minutes from the south entrance to Yosemite. We went into the park multiple days and its only about 25 minutes to the valley floor. The property utself is clean and in excellent shape. We would recommend this property for anyone looking to visit Yosemite.

Thank you for the great review, we welcome you back anytime!
This is a perfect location for Yosemite. We stayed here in late July 2023 and it’s right next to the South gate of the park. It is right off Hwy 41 so there is some road noise but the location overcomes that and it’s really not that bad. It’s one of the nicest cabins in Fish Camp. Very clean, had everything we needed, and Cheryl, the host, was easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again.

It was only a five minute drive to the South Gate going to Yosemite. and very quiet.
We loved this cozy cabin near the entrance of Yosemite. Very spacious for four adults. Recently remodel, clean and modern. We found the location perfect for our hikes and exploring Yosemite. Shopping is not that far away. The wood burning stove gets the whole cabin warm during our stay in late April. Overall a very nice place and recommend for anyone visiting Yosemite.

Thank You Glen. We hope you will come back and stay with us again!
We stayed overnight after visiting the park. The place had everything our family of three needed and well kept. Lots of games, a foosball table and extra blankets in the closet were really appreciated. Cheryl is a great host and responded promptly! I had to make a last minute change and she was kind enough to accommodate my request!
