This place ia a gem!! We loved all of the butterflies and signs all around the place. The hot tub was just what we needed after a day of hiking. We got in, shut off as many lights as possible and just looked up at the stars. It was a perfect way to end each night! So glad we got to spend some of our Honeymoon here!
Super easy and smooth check-in. My partner and I enjoyed this place very much and hope to return one day. My favorite part was watching the stars from the hot tub
A little bit of a drive from the park, but it seem like everything is unless you’re inside. Slight snafu with power , but it was quickly resolved and communication was great.
Great little get away for a couple or small family!!
Everything was beautiful! My husband and i got so comfortable so quick! Kitchenette was adorable, the bed was so comfortable, i knocked out the second i layed on it. The hot tub is a great bonus booking here! There was some small stuff we had to adjust to but nothing we couldnt handle or just communicating with the owner helped a lot as they were always quick to respond. Would definitely recommend a couple or small family to book here! So beautiful. Oh! Being in the hot tub at night with all the lights off is beautiful, the dark sky is filled with a billion stars! So peaceful!
The first impression of the home is really nice as it is good to walk into a rental that is just as advertised. Really cute both outside and in. There are lots of amenities provided. The "selfie props" was a cute touch.
It was exceptionally clean and well equipped. We knew the drive to Yosemite was a relativity long one but as we were looking around the rental was both centrally located and affordable. At the end of the day, the hot tub was a welcome bonus.
We enjoyed our stay and would rent on of the properties again. I was curious what the others looked like inside per the titles.
The host communicated extensively to meet our needs but were not intrusive at all. It was a very pleasant experience'
My friend and I got in late at night before heading to Yosemite in the morning. The suite is just as pictures in the photos. We got to enjoy the hot tub. The bed is SO comfortable! The unit felt very private considering there are units surrounding it. In the morning we had an easy drive into Yosemite. I would stay here again.
Good location, private, and everything you need to be comfortable (including a blender and cook top in the kitchen).
You should note that the bed is extremely soft and may be challenging for some.
This place fit the listing description. It was great to have the private hot tub. The sheets on the bed were a great quality. The host is very prompt in responding. It is about 45 minutes to the Yosemite Park south entrance.
The bed is really soft, so if you need back support or prefer a firm bed, you may have difficulty sleeping.
This place was the perfect littlw place for my husband and I to stay on our honeymoon to Yosemite. It’s not too far from the park, and there are lots of close by things to do. The owner was super friendly and the property was so adorable and super clean! I 100% would recommend this for your next stay and would definitely stay here again!
The Studio is cute and perfect for two. Unfortunately there were a few things that made our stay not so perfect. My husband and i rented the Studio after a day in Yosemite and were away from the kids for a night celebrating our anniversary. We had hoped for a quiet, relaxing night. We found out that the studio next door also gets rented, and the people who were staying there were playing music really loud and we discovered that the walls were paper thin. I did ask the property manager to reach out to the other renters to turn down the music and at 10pm the renters next door turned it down but we could still hear them talking and could still hear the music. The bed was VERY loud and squeeky so every time my husband moved, it woke me up. I think there was also a a pillow top mattress that actually made the bed tilted and more uncomfortable. I also noticed that the bath mat coming out of the shower was not clean and that bothered me. Especially with COVID, I think everything should be washed in between renters. It wasn't exactly what we were hoping for for our anniversary.
Me and my boyfriend stayed here for a night and it was perfect. It was a great size place for just the two of us and everything was as pictured. It was not too far of a drive to bass lake from the home and it had everything we needed! Would stay here again!
