Roomy comfortable house, beautiful setting
I considered cancelling our trip due to the Oak wildfire. When I contacted the owner about my misgivings, she gave me detailed information about the current status, and good sources of information about updates. This eased my mind and we decided to go forward with our stay - I’m so glad we did. The house was large and cozy. The beds were very comfortable, there was lots of storage space, and we enjoyed relaxing in the common areas after long days of hiking. The location in Mariposa was beautiful, and convenient for exploring Yosemite. Gorgeous views from the house. Communication was excellent - very detailed and comprehensive, as well as warm and welcoming. We’d love to come back and stay here again. Thank you!

The property was as advertised, and better. The owner was accessible and prompt in response. The property is perfect. She goes above and beyond with very clear instructions. Nothing is ambiguous. Great stay because of the owner. Also, drive into town for the donut shop. Perfect for the drive back to SFO! Thanks Akila. You definitely made the stay worth while!!!
