We enjoyed staying at this property and look forward to booking this house again in the future!
This house was clean and had a great feel to it. We enjoyed our evening ping pong games and hanging out on the deck. Nicely decorated and well taken care of. Thank you!🙂

Sweet house in a convenient location
This is the best house I've stayed since I used Homeaway app. Very sweet house. lots of utensils, pots and pans. There's a grocery store just a few minutes walk. The only downside for us was the master bedroom was a bit too chilly. It'd be perfect for summer tho. We would definitely come back here for our next Yosemite trip.

A lovely house for a family vacation
Nicer than the picture. Everything easy to use. Good park information. Great mattresses and sheets. More bathroom amenities would have been a nice touch. Ie. shampoo, cream rinse, lotion.

Great house in a great location!
This was a very comfortable place for a family of seven to make a home base while we explored Yosemite. Everything was perfect...we especially liked the reading nook with all of the bears. We will be renting this again!

Cozy home
My family enjoyed staying at the Bruin's Den. It was a cozy home that suited us just right. The boys loved to hang out in the window nook. It was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed. I would recommend this home.
