We spent 5 days exploring Yosemite and this was the perfect base camp. Enough kitchen essentials that we could make food, cozy bed, and beautiful setting. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood in the evenings. Host was receptive and helpful and check-in was super simple.

This property was exactly what we were looking for during our exploration of YNP! The location was convenient to Yosemite Valley and Tioga Road destinations. The kitchen well stocked, the bed comfortable and the lodging was clean with beautiful surroundings. Any communication with host Annie was prompt and helpful. We would be delighted to return! Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

Overall it was good. Could use a new mattress. Floors could have been damp mopped and rugs shook out. Bathroom and kitchen were nicely cleaned. Floor at front door was rotting. Overall floors had some weak points and loud creaking when you walked on them.

Had a great stay at Shady Grove. It’s in a most ideal location very central and close to routes to explore the park. 20min to Yosemite valley. 1- hr to Glacier point. 1- hour to Mariposa Grove. 1hr 20 min to Tioga pass. Definitely plan on finding your way to the cabin in the day light. Follow the host’s instructions and stay on the paved road and you will easily find it. Plan on bringing enough groceries and supplies for your stay. the markets in the park are limited and expensive. The small kitchenette was functional for light cooking purposes. Coffee maker and microwave all worked well. It was a perfect experience for my first solo trip to Yosemite. All the conveniences of staying in the valley but no crowds and very quiet. 10 outta 10 would stay again!

It was the perfect size for the 2 of us. The bed is very soft but did provide enough support. Having internet was necessary are there were many places in the park without cell service. I could plan the day and download maps before heading out. The only issue we ran into was that we couldn't find local channels on the Dish service so we had to watch replays of a couple of World Cup games. I was able to record those replays on the system so we could watch at our leisure the next day.
