She was very attentive , and always anticipating the our needs. I love that it’s pet friendly. The property has a great outdoor space and even has a dog park. This our second stay there.

We spent a week at the property. This was our base as we spent the majority of time exploring Yosemite. ( about a 45 min drive to the gate ) it is a great place, well stocked. Plenty of room for our family.

Yosemite home base
This beautifully decorated home is located close to 2 of the entrances into Yosemite NP and made it the perfect jumping off spot for our time there. We stayed 2 nights with 4 adults and 2 pups. Plenty of space for us all to relax after our days adventures. We enjoyed the back deck in the afternoon/evening!

From the owner: "So happy to hear you guys had a great stay with us and enjoyed the loop location to Yosemite! One of the many reasons we settled on that location. Feels like you are so far away from the city but very close to surrounding happening towns!
Glad you enjoyed the patio; that is my family's favorite spot! Come back anytime, Arik! Take care."
We enjoyed our stay here! Close to Yosemite and house was clean and very nice! Lots of board games as well which we enjoyed. Thanks for having us!

Yosemite getaway
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Evolve. Morning coffee on the back deck was so peaceful. We appreciated the little things like, multiple streaming options, good toilet paper, strong WiFi, and a quiet setting. It was an easy drive to Yosemite.The host was easy to reach and stayed in touch. Would recommend property to anyone looking to plan a Yosemite getaway!

From The Owner: "Ah, the coffee on that deck… love it! It makes me feel warm inside when our guests appreciate the natural beauty of that location. It was wonderful to read how much you enjoyed your experience with us at our retreat.
We would love to host you again. Happy trails exploring…"
Beautiful house, incredible host, mistakes can happen but when you have Tammi as your host, things just become exceptionally enjoyable. Loved the porch, the sunsets were gorgeous, perfect for a glass of wine with cheese and fruit. We had a great time. Totally worth it. Thanks Tammi you made it perfect. We will definitely come back.
We enjoyed our 4 night stay here. It's about an an hour and a half drive from 2 entrances to Yosemite and 10 minutes from Oakhurst. Host was very responsive and addressed an issue we had on last day immediately. Great space if traveling with dogs. There is a fenced in side yard off of the porch and a large fenced in field perfect for letting the dogs run around. Lovely views off the porch.

From the owner: "I am so happy to hear you and your guests enjoyed your stay with us at our retreat, Andrea! We are actually at our property now, staying in the same house. It is our personal favorite! Heading to the Mariposa redwood grove soon. Just to clarify for other folks Southgate entrance is 21 miles, and we make it to both the Southgate and El Portal entrances in 35/ 40 minutes tops. Lots of things to see and do besides Vally. Sunning land! Indeed, it does take 1.5 to get to the Valley from our place. We do the loop when we head there, in one gate and out the other, to maximize seeing more! That is why we purchased in Ahwahnee, and many more reasons.Please come back, you guys were wonderful guests! Happy trails."
Very nice house. Good location. The only real problem I had was in the kitchen. No pan large enough to cook with & no lid.Other than that it was good.

From the owner: "Thank you very much for your feedback and review, Rodger. Always appreciated! I have already purchased a new large pan with a lid. I know there were some in there, but I agree it is nice to have a large one. Thanks again for making me aware of that, and I am happy you and your guests enjoyed your stay with us! Take care and happy trails."
Our stay here was absolutely perfect! The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the home was spotless with everything we could possibly need. The large dining table was perfect for our family meals, and we loved all the board games and activities available. The house felt cozy, comfortable, and safe from the moment we walked in.Tammy was wonderful and always available to answer any questions we had. We also truly appreciated that pets were welcome the dog play area was such a thoughtful touch!The drive to Yosemite National Park was about 35–40 minutes, which we didn’t mind at all. It gave us the best of both worlds close enough to enjoy the park, yet peaceful to come back and relax in this beautiful home.We had an amazing time and will definitely be back. Thank you for making our vacation so special!

Beautiful Retreat with Stunning Views & Amazing Hospitality!
My husband and I came to Yosemite for our daughter’s wedding, and staying at this retreat was honestly one of the best decisions we made! Instead of being in a hotel with the rest of the group, we chose this beautiful home, and wow, are we glad we did. It’s super cute, cozy, spotless, and the views are absolutely breathtaking.Our daughter’s wedding was in Yosemite, but she loved having her intimate reception right here at the retreat. Everyone had such a great time — she even shared her first dance with her new husband just below the patio deck, which was such a magical moment. 💕Tammi, the hostess, was beyond wonderful! From the very first booking all the way through check-out, she was so kind, welcoming, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I’ve stayed at other rentals before, but I’ve never experienced such genuine care and thoughtfulness from a host.If we ever make it back to the area, there’s no question where we’ll be staying!

Thank you so very much for your absolutely amazing review of you and your family’s special time together!! I loved talking to you throughout your stay with us. It warms my heart to hear that your daughter and son in law had their first dance together on the property. I hope to host you again someday. Congratulations and take care.

Fabulous mountain home!
My husband and I and our 2 pups had a wonderful time here. The house was very clean and cozy with recliner couches and very comfortable beds and pillows. Ceiling fans throughout kept it nice and cool, along with a wonderful back porch which overlooks a pond and scenic woods. The house has AC, is fully stocked and plenty of parking. The drive up the 140 to Yosemite was absolutely beautiful. We pulled over and jumped in the Merced river several times on the way up and on the back. You could spend a whole day exploring there! Tammi, the owner of the home is amazing! Very responsive in regards to any questions I had and just an overall joy! There's a dog park on the property my pups loved running around as well as a gated backyard. My family will definitely be back here!

Take care and happy trails."

Lovely stay at Ahwahnee
Our stay at Tammi's place in Ahwahnee was wonderful. The property was well equipped for a comfortable stay for 4 to 6 people and a furry mate. It was clean and cozy, suitable for our plans of staying indoors for most of the duration of the stay. If you are into board games and books, this is the place will not disappoint. The view outside the patio is absolutely stunning and served as a perfect backdrop for our barbecue one night. We were allowed a late checkout without even asking, which was great!Tammi was responsive and even attended to our request for a coffee machine from the main house, as the cord for the one in our rental was missing. I would recommend this property if you are visiting Yosemite or are in the mood for quality time with family or friends at a scenic and private location with a gorgeous view and 15 minutes of auto access to amenities at Oakhurst. Thanks!
Curiosity and Wellbeing Retreat is one of the most unique properties I have stayed at while traveling. The listing was accurate, it was easy to find and check in, it was neat and clean and offered all of the comforts of home. The beds were comfortable as was the living and dining room spaces and even back porch (which was my favorite spot with that gorgeous view!). The kitchen had all the essentials we needed to cook meals and there was lots of info about where to get groceries and great local places to dine out. Tammi was very responsive to questions and was also very warm and friendly. I was very impressed with how well the property is set up to accommodate travelers with dogs. We did not have our dogs with us for this trip but they would have had everything that we would need! We spent a lot of time at Yosemite National Park but the retreat is also a great place to relax and decompress if you aren't interested in the National park. There are places to walk on the property, a sweet little pond, and a beautiful view of the mountains. We will definitely tell friends and family about our awesome trip and experience at the Curiosity and Wellbeing Retreat! It is now one of my top recommended places to stay!
