Clean, fully stocked cottage with rustic charm. It’s about a 20-minute drive to the Arch Rock entrance of Yosemite, making it a convenient base for exploring the park. After a long day of hiking, nothing was more relaxing than sitting on the patio overlooking the Merced River or stargazing by the pool.The host was incredibly responsive and genuinely kind, which made the stay even better. The washer and dryer are located in the garage across from the home, which was convenient. WiFi worked well for phone calls and general use, and was significantly better than service inside the park.The photos truly don’t do this place justice. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. The bed was very comfortable, and after a full day of adventures, I slept great every night.A Chevron gas station and El Portal Market are both about 12 minutes away, which made it easy to grab essentials.If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be the TV placement or possibly adding an additional TV in one of the bedrooms.Overall, I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic Yosemite getaway.
