This is the perfect spot to experience Yosemite. The house is very clean, bright, and comfortable with generous amenities and a great hot tub. We shared it with another friendly and it gave us both privacy and festive shared space. Most of all, the location is ideal and the surrounding woods are gorgeous.

Great Location!

So close to the valley, which made our days with little kids quite easy. Super comfy beds, and the hot tub was terrific! Could have used more plastic cups and lids for the pots/pans, but other than that it was a well furnished kitchen. Lots of salt and pepper in the cabinets, plenty of soaps, including dishwasher and laundry, other than that you’ll need to supply your own items.

Beautiful roomy house

Great location to stay in Yosemite NP. Large house, 3br, 4bath, well appointed kitchen, washer/dryer, jacuzzi and gas fireplace definitely a plus! Hard to say any thing wrong about property ~ limited instructions re TV, no WiFi, Lower Bedroom toilet leaking at base.~

Ski weekend

Staci was great to work with. Condo was in a great location to ski hunter mountain. House was clean. Just one note to include toilet paper and paper towels in your shopping list. Host provided one roll per bathroom. Overall a great spot and would rent again!

Very clean and well equipped in general. However, I was told there were extra towels for the hot tub and there were none. We had to use bath towels and then wash them. Also, they were very short on dinner knives. We had an issue with starting the dryer, which we resolved by switching the plugs on the washer and dryer. The dryer worked but was very loud. Also, update the fireplace instructions as it said to turn the timer, but it’s a thermostat that you have to turn the temperature up to start. We would definitely stay there again as it has great access to Yosemite Valley.

There were 8 of us - 4 adults, and 3 children under 6 years old. It was perfect. The furniture and whole setup of the house was pretty toddler/kid friendly. We loved the hot tub for soaking after a long day of hiking carrying our kids around. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to make all our meals while there. The only thing I would say about the kitchen is that there was not any tupperware/storage containers for leftovers. The beds were super comfy. The kids room was downstairs, while the adult King bed rooms upstairs. The washer/dryer was used daily and so valuable to us. There is no wifi and cell service in the area is slim to none, which made for a very relaxing device free vacay. Just down the road is the valley with a great view at night for stargazing. I would stay here again for sure!

Awesome Vacation Rental! Highly Recommend!

We loved this house and would book again! Very clean! Beds and furniture comfortable and clean! Well furnished kitchen, plenty of soaps including laundry soap! Would love to have one more box fan for the 3rd bedroom. The pots and pans need lids that fit properly. Missing alot of DVD's in the cases. Could use more DVD selections for young kids.

From the moment we arrived, the property was spotless, spacious, and the kitchen was impressively stocked with everything we could possibly need. This home has truly set a new benchmark for our future VRBO stays. We especially appreciated the convenience of having more than three bathrooms and knowing the hot tub was cleaned upon our arrival. We had no communication on site with service, but did not need anything. Communication prior was exceptional.One note: while the bunk beds are perfect for children, they may not provide adequate comfort for adult guests. And, would recommend additional towels in bathrooms specific for hot tub use.

Overall great stay

House was clean and relatively easy to access. Just a heads up there is no cell service and no wifi at the house. The code to get in is the last 4 of your phone number you booked with, but we were not informed of that and had to go find cell service and call the property management. They were easy to access and when we got back to the property we saw a small sign next to the door letting us know that the code was our phone number. As for the DVD selection most of the DVDs are missing the acutal disk so make sure to bring some or something to hook up to the tv. The hot tub was great and was perfect for hanging out in at night.

Perfect location!

The Alder Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. The upgraded kitchen and living area were perfect. The mattress was very comfortable in the master bedroom. And the location, perfect for a visit to Yosemite valley or Badger Pass. However, I absolutely can not give this review a 5 because of the couches in the living room. They were horrible! So uncomfortable I couldn't sit on them because I felt like I was sinking at an angle towards the floor. They are SHOT. Please replace them. The living room is the heart of the house where you sit with your family by the fireplace to play games, watch a movie, and enjoy a cup of coco.

Great retreat outside the valley

This is an excellent place to stay if you want the beauty of Yosemite without having to rough it in the mud camping, or rely on restaurants. Only 20 minutes from a bunch of different activities- Yosemite valley floor, historic Wawona hotel, Sugar Pine steam engine, etc. The only drawback is no WiFi, but we downloaded some movies and brought an HDMI cord to connect to the TV for nighttime movies. Very chill spot!

great get-away

Great location inside the park! We were very happy with the property and would definitely stay here again. Suggestion - get/bring your groceries before entering the park. Note - cell phone coverage is very poor (at best) and there is no Wifi at the property. Be prepared to be "off the grid" and enjoy.

Peaceful Retreat

If you want to escape to a peaceful, beautiful and remote destination, this is your spot! The home is very spacious and loved that every room has its own full bath amenities. The kitchen was mostly well-stocked, and could use a few more items such as a small frying pan and smaller baking pans. Our other suggestion was to install a coat rack near the entryway. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and the convenience to the valley floor! Thank you!

Perfect location for hiking in Yosemite

What a great location for our ‘girlcation’. The house is well stocked for making great meals (Just remember to buy your groceries in Fresno). We hiked the famous Mist Trail, easily reached since we were already inSide the Yosemite park. The hot tub at night helped ease sore feet so we could hike the Mariposa Grove and see the giant sequoias the next day. A great weekend. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful house

We were so impressed by this house! It was very spacious, clean and had great beds. We really liked the hot tub which was large enough for 5. The location is good, it is located inside the park and it is only a short, scenic drive to Tunnel View and other sights. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful stay! Spacious, well stocked, and a great location!! Jacuzzi was a huge plus. No Wi-Fi, and cell service is spotty all throughout Yosemite. Was great for parents, but kids weren't as happy...family bonding time!! We biked, hiked and went white water rafting on the Merced... Fantastic!!! Thanks for a great stay, we hope to be back!
