In a word: incredible! Yosemite was a bucket list destination for us, and we wanted to stay somewhere that was comfortable, scenic, and allowed for relatively easy ingress/egress. Riverside Retreat checked all those boxes and then some. The view of the river from the deck alone was breathtaking. The home was clean and cozy, the beds comfortable, the kitchen stocked with everything needed for cooking. Our group was three adults, but we would have had more than enough room even with a group twice as large. We absolutely will stay here on our next trip - which, hopefully, will be sooner rather than later!

This cabin was absolutely perfect. The beds were very comfortable. The pillows were great and sheets were soft. The views out of the house are stunning and you can hear two creeks outside as much as you want. Leave the windows open and you get to hear it. 24 seven. We saw a deer crossing the stream at one point, which was such a great surprise. We didn’t use much but the coffee maker, but the kitchen seemed well stocked, and the appliances were high-end. The neighborhood that the cabin is in is absolutely adorable and perfect for walking and there were also a couple different ways to get down to the river and I’m old and it was an easy walk for me.The host was very responsive to my questions which I very much appreciate. The location of the cabin was remote yet close to a lot of sites and scenery away from the neighborhood. The little market up the street was absolutely perfect and has a little bit of just about everything.I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone going into Yosemite.
