Yosemite Adventures
The house was the perfect size for the 5 of us. We enjoyed the kitchen together as a family. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, etc. We spent our evenings at the large dinner table. The living room was cozy and the fireplace was a wonderful gathering space for us all. We loved the location of this property as well. It was a close distance to the park hikes that we enjoyed daily.

Very clean, cozzy, and comfortable home.
The perfect home to stay in for a vaction to Yosemite. Took a group of 10 and all were situated comfortably throughout the stay. We enjoyed the patio area, especailly in the night, because we were able to clearly see all the stars.

Wonderful Place in Wawona
We had a wonderful 3 night stay. The place was just as advertised. Plenty of room for our party of 7. The house is very nicely updated and comfortable. It is also well stocked with linens, towels and kitchenware. The neighborhood is quiet with minimal to no traffic. Great location to visit Yosemite. Would definitely stay again!

Great place overall
We had a great time here. The home was clean and accommodating. It was a little smaller thank what the pictures showed and some of the kitchen appliances were different than described (no Nespresso machine) but nothing that deterred from our stay. Just a note that it is about 45 minutes from the main Yosemite attractions. Would recommend this place!

Perfect for a family
We enjoyed our stay enormously--some of us using the house as a comfortable base for grueling but glorious hikes in the Valley or Tuolemne while others accompanied the 17-month-old member of our party to the swimming hole just up the road in Wawona. Most days the air conditioning was redundant as the well-designed house retained the nightime coolness, but it was great to have when our visit coincided with a record-setting heatwave.

Awesome large cabin in Yosemite!
I stayed with my wife, our kids my parents, and my in-laws. Each of the bedrooms had a nice queen bed, and the bathrooms were very clean and spacious. Porch was awesome and really big, I enjoyed sitting out in the snow, and it would be even better even warmer months. The wood-burning fireplace was one of my favorite parts!

Good place inside the NP
A very nicely kept cabin within the Yosemite park! It was very comfortable for 6 friends (4 couldn’t make it) and I feel like having all 10 people would’ve made the cabin feel a bit too crowded. I would suggest 7-9 people if you would like more space. Overall had all the amenities we needed, furnished nicely, and we really enjoyed the back patio with grill and large table. Julieta was really responsive as well, which is a plus.

Great Cabin for Weekend Trip
My family of 5 (all adults) stayed here for 3 nights. We were very happy with our experience. The cabin was very nice, clean, and modern. The beds were comfortable, the appliances were very new, and just about every amenity was available. The drive to the park took about 40 minutes. Our favorite part of the cabin had to be the fireplace. With 5 adults and no children, we were quite comfortable. In our opinion, 6 adults and a couple children are about the most you’d want to fit in the cabin for a night. I would 100% stay here again if visiting Yosemite in the future.

Overall great house
This is a beautiful, practically brand new house in a great neighborhood in Wawona. Lovely living areas, lots of deck space, very comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms. You can hear the Merced River running from the deck. Perfectly appointed. Ample linens and supplies, all very clean. Only a few complaints: this house has an ant problem. This affected our stay because we had to spend a fair amount of time dealing with ants (like when they found their way into my purse) and we had to throw out some food. The master bedroom downstairs is also sparsely furnished: there is only a bed and one night stand. A couple more wall tables throughout the place would be a nice addition in general. And this is minor, but the toilet in the master bathroom ran excessively unless you opened the back to place the stopper properly. Overall we loved the place, and with an ant-free guarantee we’ll be back.

Worst Property Manager
We were provided the wrong key code to enter the property. For nearly four hours we were locked out. Not until 10 PM were we provided with the correct entry code. The property manager, Grand Welcome, would not answer our calls. Left several messages, all went unanswered. It was Vrbo who was able to contact Grand Welcome and provide the correct key code. Tired after a 7 hour drive, the property did not seem very welcoming! The property had two and one half baths, not the 3 baths advertised. Stains in the refrigerator and dust covered vents, were not what one expects of a five star property. In spite the initial frustration we had a great time at Yosemite. It is an amazing park.

House with a green hot tub
We stayed at this house over president's day weekend. One of the main reasons for choosing this house was the hot tub even though it was significantly higher in price than others we looked at. With the wonky weather we have been having in California lately, at least the hot tub would be something to do if the weather wasn't great. The first day the hot tub was great. The next day the hot tub began to look a little murky. By the third day it was pretty green and the foam from the bubbles had hair and other debris floating in it. I contacted the number given and they said they would reach out and check it out. We came home that day and it was still green. I reached out again, they said no one responded and sorry. I reached out again and they just said sorry, so we were unable to use it the last days of our trip. I know hot tubs can be finicky! But this house was expensive and not having it working was a bummer. The house was clean and well stocked on towels. There was a seasoning spinner, but if you need anything else it must be brought in. There is no Pam spray or anything like that. There were two small bags of trash right outside the back door and someones clothes over the balcony. It is a quick drive from the house to Mariposa grove and not that far to the valley. Location is great to see all that Yosemite has to offer.
