Lovely peaceful location surrounded by nature. Donna was a kind, relaxed and helpful host. We had a lovely few days visiting Yosemite, first the valley and then the Mariposa redwoods. These are around an hour to an hour and a half away but the drive is beautiful.

Mark and his wife continue our good fortune of receiving the perfect guests. Such a pleasure greeting people who appreciate the wonders of Yosemite and coming 'home' to the quiet, relaxing experience of our cottage. Such a great couple to host...and Annie, our 'doggie barometer' was equally happy.

This cottage was the best-kept secret for a peaceful and quiet getaway, complete with magnificent dark, starry skies. It was an incredible place at a great price and had everything we could have hoped for and more.Our hosts were amazingly helpful, providing excellent tips for getting around in and out of Yosemite, and thanks to their guidance and hospitality, we hardly needed to use GPS during our stay.Thank you both for such an amazing and memorable experience. It was truly one of the best stays we’ve ever had.

This is such a splendid place. It was a perfect couples getaway on a lovely property in a comfy cozy cottage hosted by beautiful groovy people (and their sweet dog) close to Yosemite Park. Stars at night...beautiful sun and moon rise...quietude sprinkled with bird song, crickets, frogs, and the occasional thud of a pinecone or acorn.

The cottage was beautiful and was much more spacious in person. The surrounding area was peaceful and relaxing. Like sleeping over in a storybook setting. The host was incredibly warm and inviting. They were so kind and more than hospitable. I can’t say enough kind things about them.

Three Rivers Delight

The property was beautiful and peaceful in a great location outside Sequoia. Our hosts were a delight! Sharing useful tips and good conversation. We couldn’t have found a better place to stay! If we come back to Three Rivers or area, there is no other place we would stay!

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our weekend stay. It sits on a huge property where you can take a stroll around the area and enjoy peaceful, quiet nature. I loved the vintage vibes inside the cottage. It felt old school but had everything we needed and it was much more spacious than I had expected! The hosts had excellent communication and made sure we were comfortable. I ran into Eric and Annie (their pup) on the property and it was such a pleasant encounter. Every once in a while, Annie would pop up by the door when I was cooking. She's so funny and cute. If you need to pick up some food or necessities, there's a store right down the street. I'm so glad we booked this place and would 100% book again in the future! Thank you Donna and Eric and Annie!

The house was fantastic—clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. Our host was incredibly sweet and went above and beyond, offering invaluable tips and information about the park that made our trip even better. The hospitality was top-notch, and the check-in process couldn’t have been easier. We truly felt cared for throughout our stay. The neighborhood is in the country, very quiet and peaceful, with bunnies and wildlife around—such a relaxing setting. Highly recommend!
