Very good

This was a fun little place to stay while we were visiting Yosemite. The kids thought the bridge and location were fun. It is generally as represented online, somewhat dated but comfortable and homey. I would stay here again.

Caution to those booking this home
We stayed at this home recently and were very disappointed. Upon walking into the home there was an extremely pungent smell of mildew or wet clothing. Upon further examination of the home we seemed to think it was coming from the bathroom in the kids bunk room, possibly the shower. It permeated the entire house and made it very difficult to live in the home all week. I didn't feel comfortable having my kids sleep in the room with the attached smelly bathroom. We closed the door to the bathroom the entire week and didn't use it at all to try to block the smell a bit. We contacted the owners and they had their cleaning lady come out and smell the house. She was a smoker and agreed with me that the bathroom smelled like "wet clothing left in the washer."
In addition, please be aware that there is only one air conditioning unit (in a window) in the living room area. All of the bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house, so getting any cool air to bedrooms is impossible. We arrived on a day that is was 108 degrees in Groveland. The inside of the house was extremely hot, even at midnight the temperatures were still about 90 degrees in the house making it very difficult to sleep. We contacted the owners about this and they told us about their house fan which would have been good to know about upon arrival. Sadly, because it was so hot outside even in the evenings, there was no way to get relief from outside air. As the week progressed, and the temperatures came down we were able to get some fresh morning air into the house to help with the smell from the bathroom.
Between the smell of the house and the heat we were uncomfortable. The first evening we asked to be refunded our money and let out of our contract. The owners were willing to do so, but unfortunately all other properties in PML were already booked. We were there for an extended family trip so we needed to have a place in PML.
In addition, things inside the house need work. For example, there is no window covering on one of the windows in the master bedroom. This allows more sun (and heat) to be let into the house and makes for a bright morning when you are waking up. Some of the towel racks are falling off of the wall and need to be screwed in. I tried two different can openers to open a can. One didn't work at all and one barely worked after some time using it. I have photos of these issues, but it doesn't seem like there is a place to post them here.

When my housekeeping came to the house to check the smell you mentioned, she said she didn't smell anything bad. But still she wanted to make sure and checked:
-Under all sinks for dampness by rubbing hand on inside of cupboards and feeling along pipes.
-Looked in all drains including sinks
- checked all drawers in all bathrooms.
-smelled all rugs
-checked garbages
-checked water pressure in toilets by flushing and lifted back of toilet lid to check for water clarity and water level.
She didn't smell any mildew or mold odor or anything bad.
We never heard from our previous guests or the guests after you about any sort of smell.
Regarding A/C, it is clearly stated in the listing that the house has air conditioning only in the living room. It has house fan and portable fans as well in all the bedrooms.
Towel Rod and Can Opener: Sorry for the inconvenience. Instead of expressing this in the review, if you would have brought this to my attention while you were there at the rental, I would have gladly asked my housekeeping to take care of those.
