Great house, lovely host with great communication and attentive. We had an issue arise at night and she did not hesitate to come over and fix it. Overall, would recommend this place especially for people that have children, it is very family friendly and quiet. Had a great experience, look forward to coming back.
My family had an amazing time at this property and literally utilized everything it had to offer both inside and out. We sat by the pond in the morning and roasted marshmallows on the balcony in the evening. Had tons of fun in the game room, played ping pong outside and hopped from the pool to the hot tub while our grandkids had a blast on the outside play structure. We had 8 adults and 3 little ones but with the massive living space never felt like we were on top of each other. The mini ponies were an added bonus. We thoroughly loved watching the wildlife that roamed the property during the day and star gazing at night. Truly a trip to remember.
We had a wonderful stay at this property with family and friends, including several kids. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortably accommodated our large group. One of the highlights was the large open space around the property, which gave the kids plenty of room to run around and play safely. The layout worked well for both adults and children, making it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy time together. We would definitely consider staying here again for another family gathering.
We had a great time. The house was even better then the pictures. We had 8 adults and 6 kids. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well equipped. The large living room provided plenty of space for my grandchildren age 18 months to 10 years old to stretch out. My grandkids were sad to leave. Beth was a great host and was quick to answer all my questions. The house was very convenient to visit Yosemite.
The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable for our family of 11- 3 generations. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the items we needed and more. It was very convenient, as were the bedrooms and bathrooms. The property was very family-friendly for the grandchildren with a playground, pool, hot tub, and large yard. They especially loved Harley, the horse and the 2 precious ponies. We saw deer and bunnies multiple times. The host, Beth, was very gracious, helpful, and understanding to our family from Florida. It was a wonderful experience and we are so happy to have chosen this place on VRBO. Our trip was spectacular!
This was a lovely place to stay with our family. We have a large group from all over the country so it was great that each family had their own room and their were several places to sleep for our kiddos!
Quiet , clean, beautiful home close to everything we wanted to see and more. It was very relaxing after spending a day hiking and sightseeing to come back here and relax we'll definitely do it again soon
Beautiful place, recommended for family and friends who love nature, animals, hiking and amazing views. The property was absolutely great and the hosts were very kind.
My family and I enjoyed staying at this beautiful property. The house was equipped with everything you could ever need for a weekend get away. It was perfect for our family. We will definitely book here again!
We had an amazing time and Beth was so accommodating most especially with our queries! If you’re planning to visit Yosemite with friends and family this property’s very well recommended!
Host met us upon arrival and was very responsive during stay. The house was lovely and VRBO description was accurate. Lots of room for our 2 families and grandparents! About an hour drive to Yosemite entrance and 30 min to whitewater rafting. Would recommend.
What a fantastic home! Honestly words wont do justice. Perfect location for family get together. Quiet time, and peaceful surroundings. Instant communication if you have any questions or concerns. 10/10 would recommend everytime.
Our family spent our thanksgiving holiday at this beautiful home and property. The home offered everything we needed and more. Our Grandchildren had a blast riding bikes and visiting the pony’s.
The host was amazing and welcoming. Highly recommend this property.
