Easy on the eyes!
My husband, my youngest son, and his girlfriend and I spent the Memorial Day weekend at the Yosemite National Park. When we first checked in, the view from our balcony was beautiful! After strenuous hiking, staying at the place helped us relax and recuperate. The only minus is the 1.5-hour travel time to get to/from the park. The place had a quaint "cabin" feel, and it was enchanting.

GREAT WEEKEND GETAWAY!!
Came to Yosemite for a long weekend and loved this little cabin/room. Was just what we needed for quick weekend getaway, place was very clean and the surrounding grounds was so peaceful and the views were amazing. There was only maybe one other couple on the property when we were there which was nice and made it feel more private. The host is very quick to responsed if there are any issues at all which was great, especially when our room lock wasn't reading the code properly and it's was 1am in the morning and we couldn't get into room. Within five minutes the host responded and fixed issue. If your looking for a little private getaway for the weekend or to go to Yosemite this is the place for you.

Beautiful stay outside Yosemite!
We loved this property. Great place for stay near Yosemite. The cottage was so cute and had everything we needed! Short drive to grocery store in town and a few restaurants. We loved the recommendation to check out Bass Lake - it was so beautiful there we ended up going down there for both lunch and dinner during our stay! :)
