We had a fantastic stay at the Bald Bear Barracks! The property was clean and very relaxing as it has some beautiful views and is in a quiet neighborhood. Yosemite is a must-see, but be prepared for a bit of a wait getting into the National Park during the summer season.

We loved it.

It was clean, easy to find, and the beds were so soft. It has big spacious rooms and great communication with the property manager. I did notice there was not a bbq which most places have so if you want that and it is permitted bring your own. I would love to stay there again in the future.

First Cali trip

A friend and I came out for the marathon in Yosemite. I've traveled a lot and own my own rental property and I was smitten with the location, privacy, layout, cleanliness, communication with the host. Very grateful for our experience! Would definitely come back :)
