Great location for Yosemite Visit

We chose this stay due to location and high percentage of positive reviews. The local town and drive into the park was perfect. The listing was pretty accurate but there are some cleanliness concerns regarding bathroom/shower stalls.

We enjoyed our stay at this charming older cabin in a great location, just minutes from the Yosemite entrance. The highlight was definitely the backyard, which offered peaceful views and visits from deer and wild turkeys—perfect for relaxing after a day in the park.The cabin is generally comfortable, but a few improvements would make it even better. Additional lighting would go a long way in enhancing the overall comfort. Just a heads-up: there’s a 50 fee added to the stay.Overall, a cozy and convenient base for exploring Yosemite!

Great spot in a nice area, and not too far for day trips to Yosemite Valley. The lake is great for a cool swim in the afternoon. Very peaceful.

Relax

My family stayed here for a weekend trip to visit Yosemite. This place had all we needed and then some! There was everything for the whole family from games, movies and an outside car for the toddler. We enjoyed dining outside with the great corner table. I would highly recommend this place to stay.

Clean cabin

We enjoyed our stay, the cabin was perfect for our family. All the rain was unfortunate for exploring although we got to see some deer and turkeys from the deck. The cabin was inviting and clean. The location was also perfect for us! We would definitely rebook this cabin in the future.

Peaceful cabin in the forest.

The cabin is perfect for a family. You are within trees and wildlife. Almost every morning we had a deer walk by. The property was wonderful, even in the large community. Yet, so close to the entry gate. We loved the vibe and rustic feeling of the cabin. Highly recommend to anyone! The cabin was truly comfortable with its 2 room and bathroom, kitchen was spacious. Thank you Al, for making us feel home away from home!

Outdated and dusty

Property was very dusty in all walls, artwork, corners, & ceilings. Mold in bathroom showers. Felt dirty although the horizontal surfaces were wiped down. Walked into freezing house. 40 degrees to-be exact. Pillows not comfortable. We felt that it was tolerable but would not return.

Trip Postponed Due to Fire Evacuation

Unfortunately, due to the Force Majeure event of a forest fire emergency and subsequent area evacuation, we could not make the trip on our scheduled date. The owner, Alfredo, was great in keeping us informed of the situation, and working with us to reschedule the trip at another time. His flexibility to accommodate us regarding the trip postponement was greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Al!

A nice cozy cabin for my family

This house is located in a gated vacation community. You can enjoy some amenities in the community. The Pine Mountain Lake marina is fun.(However, you need to pay an extra $31 one time parking fee) The house is not fancy but it is clean and cozy. My family enjoy the stay.
