Beautiful views and spacious home with lots of amenities. The host was helpful and responsive. It’s about an hour and 20 min drive to either entrance of Yosemite and 15-20 to town with shops and restaurants. Couldn’t have been more centrally located to our destination for hiking Yosemite and visiting Mariposa Grove.

Great place and stay

Amazing time here, campfire area is awesome, rooms are nice. Only complaint is that it’s pretty far from everything, specifically the Yosemite park lines, but if close proximity is not your priority, you’re getting great bang for your back here.

From the drive up, we were in heaven. This place had everything to make a vacation pleasantly memorable. The beds were nice, kitchen fully stocked, super clean and the view was spectacular. Not one thing could have heightened our experience. Take the entire family. You won’t want anyone to miss out.

Beautiful Home and View!

The home and property are truly outstanding! The view from the deck and hot tub is unbelievable. The night sky was so clear we could see more stars than you could count. The kitchen had everything we needed plus we were able to use the regular and flattop grills. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions. I would definitely recommend this home!

Family and friends trip

What a beautiful home with amazing view!! The home is recently remodeled and the owners really paid attention to detail. The kitchen - bathrooms and bedrooms are very welcoming and are stocked with what you need for a trip. I recommend having a cold drink and enjoy the amazing sunsets.. morning coffee at the back patio is relaxing as well, the whole family and friends groups enjoyed the stay. The communication with host was easy and they took care of any need that we had, highly recommend this stay. 🍻 cheers

Yosemite Family Trip

I cant say enough about our great experience at this property. The house is recently remodeled and is beautiful😍 The sunset in the back patio area by the photos does not do it justice - every sunset was beautiful and will not disappoint. Had a cold drink in the evening and morning coffee on that deck - the interior remodel had everything we needed and all the rooms had a unique touch. Loved them! I took advantage of the work station - monitor hook up that saved me and great view out of that window - saw some deer early morning. I hope to go back next summer and extend the days - thank you to a great host and communication is awesome! Thank you Anne

HillTop Retreat

The house was lovely & the deck views are amazing. The dog park is not great due to the lack of water to keep it green & insects & critters. While walking across the front yard to the dog park area, our dog & our shoes picked up many burrs. Not a big issue but Anne was not happy to hear about burrs on the property. We always strive to leave the rental in a clean condition & we did pay the fee to have a dog on the property but Anne felt the need to nick pick me via text messages after we checked out at 10:00 am until 2:00 pm when I decided to no longer view her rude text messages. She accused us of having dog hair in all the beds which is completely untrue. Our dog was only in one bedroom & the dog bed was used. She even sent pictures of the fur to prove her point. If you allow dogs there will be fur which is easily cleaned up with a vacuum or some tape. Why harass your guests? Other issues with the management was an open key box, open supply closet, security camera left charging in the kitchen, air conditioning not turned on for our arrival, an open bathroom window with no screen causing two days of bugs in our bedroom.
