It was clean, easy to find, and the beds were so soft. It has big spacious rooms and great communication with the property manager. I did notice there was not a bbq which most places have so if you want that and it is permitted bring your own. I would love to stay there again in the future.
A friend and I came out for the marathon in Yosemite. I've traveled a lot and own my own rental property and I was smitten with the location, privacy, layout, cleanliness, communication with the host. Very grateful for our experience! Would definitely come back :)
