Beautiful Home

This is a great home. It is comfortable, private, and close to wonderful recreational activities. We especially enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking in Yosemite and boating on Bass Lake.

Highly recommend

This home is perfect for families. Plenty of space, play areas for the grandkids and for the adults (hot tub was great!). Secluded and quiet, lots of places to hang together or do some independent relaxing. Very close to grocery and to the lake. Host is responsive and communication was easy. Hope to return!

Lovely Escape

Overall, it was a lovely place for our family to celebrate our early Christmas together. We had a few issues which were promptly addressed by staff and we appreciated that. There is definitely some updating that could be done, but overall we were happy with our stay.

Beautiful Home for a Family Vacation

This house was perfect for our family vacation. The location was close enough to Yosemite National Park while still being accessible to town. The property was stunning, our children spent most of our stay enjoying the property. We had 4 adults and 4 children ages 5 and under. The house was large and well appointed . The amenities felt like staying at a hotel with all of the benefits of a house. Would absolutely love to stay here again! Highly recommend!

Yosemite vacay

This home is clean and well stocked. My communications with the hosts were answered quickly and efficiently. The house is very nice and had plenty of room for the four of us. We saw a doe and her baby in the front yard one day and a family of turkey including babies walk by on another. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in this area.

Emerald Escape was the perfect place to relax and connect with nature. We loved our morning hikes and exploring the South Entrance of Yosemite National Park, including a memorable hike to the Mariposa Grove to see the giant Sequoias and some fun playing in the snow.The house was fully stocked for cooking meals, and we enjoyed returning for homemade food and relaxing in the hot tub. Its proximity to Oakhurst meant easy access to shops, restaurants, and grocery stores.This house was perfect for our family. My granddaughters especially loved the game room and soaking in the hot tub while stargazing. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and answered all of our questions promptly. We would definitely return to Emerald Escape!"

Perez, thank you for staying with us at Emerald Escape. I’m so glad the home was the perfect spot for your family to relax and connect with nature — from Mariposa Grove and morning hikes to snow play, the game room, and stargazing from the hot tub. It was great to hear the kitchen and location worked well, and I appreciate your kind words about our responsiveness. We’d love to welcome you back soon!

Mini getaway

Our kids loved the activities the house provided, adults had a great time. Thank you! Would be cool to have a couple flyers for nearby activities. Bass lake, horseback riding... ect. Also the games were missing many pieces so alot of them were un playable, might be good to replace or toss. Thank you for everything we look forward to returning in the future!

This house is perfect for a family trip. We have five adults and two kids. We love the spacious living room that kids can play around and there are many TVs in the house as well so that kids can watch their kids channel while adults enjoys their movies. Moreover, the location is close to everything, 15 mins drive to the supermarket, 20 mins to the bass lake, 15 mins to the rail train. One thing worths mentioning is the bed in the master room, my mom and sister loves it. They slept so well on this bed and even asked for the brand ! Overall, we had awesome experience here, will definitely recommend this place.

Most awesome home away from home

Now... this is the most unibtrusive owner i have ever rented from. I typically jugde my rentals from the instuctions that the owner leaves regarding renter responsibilities. This owner does everything to ensure that you dont feel threatened in any way. His instructions are very friendly. The house is just awesome. Nothing i could write here would do justice to the extent the owner has gone to ensure that anyone who stays here feels at home with terrific surroundings and a homely atmosphere. I will rent this place again and again any time I visit Yosemite

I rented this property for our annual family vacation whichever includes my son and daughter, son in law daughter in law and three grandchildren. The house was spacious and had all the imedities we needed. A plus was the game room which was a big hit with all. The owner/ management staff was amazing and easy to reach and deal with. We had a wonder stay and would recommend highly.

Beautiful modern cabin

Everything about this experience was super easy and convenient!!! We had an amazing time and loved all of the activities for the kids in addition to the comfort of the home with plenty of seating indoors and out. Perfect family getaway and beautiful home in a great location to soak in all the beauty of Yosemite and surrounding areas. The air conditioning took a while to kick in and the fridge took a while to get cold but those were minor issues to the overall great experience. I highly recommend and would come back next year and every year after that!
