Overall, my family (2 adults & 1 kid) enjoyed our stay here. The location is fantastic. The space is comfortable and cozy. Beds were comfortable and linens clean. The kitchen had everything we needed for 4 nights. The property is quiet. We saw turkey, deer, ducks, and geese from the kitchen table. We appreciated the selection of games and puzzles too. It’s a great spot to access Yosemite and the surrounding area. The only negatives came from a lack of notice. The water and dryer had an out of service sign. Which was not an issue, but I felt like for 300/night, some notification before we arrived were appropriate. And the same for the toilet leaking water (from the water pipe aka clean water). We arrived and there was a small bowl on the floor to catch the leaking water. Not the end of the world, but again, for the cost a little notice seemed right.Having said all that, I’d stay there again happily. I hope the owner and Vacasa read this and use better communication in the future.

Ideal location and is only 12 miles from the park entrance. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It’s in a very quiet location.

Everything was great except the lock on the front door was extremely difficult. On the second and third days we decided to leave the door unlocked, fearing if we were able to get it locked we would probably be locked out when we returned. When we left for good on the fourth day we were unable to lock the door so left the properly unlocked.

Location was wonderful. Beautiful cottage. Be prepared - no tv, no cell service (Verizon). Nice to have games available to play for kids and adults. Driveway needs work. Our truck was fine. Would be an issue for a sedan.
