We had a wonderful stay at this property with family and friends, including several kids. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortably accommodated our large group. One of the highlights was the large open space around the property, which gave the kids plenty of room to run around and play safely. The layout worked well for both adults and children, making it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy time together. We would definitely consider staying here again for another family gathering.

We had a great time. The house was even better then the pictures. We had 8 adults and 6 kids. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well equipped. The large living room provided plenty of space for my grandchildren age 18 months to 10 years old to stretch out. My grandkids were sad to leave. Beth was a great host and was quick to answer all my questions. The house was very convenient to visit Yosemite.

The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable for our family of 11- 3 generations. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the items we needed and more. It was very convenient, as were the bedrooms and bathrooms. The property was very family-friendly for the grandchildren with a playground, pool, hot tub, and large yard. They especially loved Harley, the horse and the 2 precious ponies. We saw deer and bunnies multiple times. The host, Beth, was very gracious, helpful, and understanding to our family from Florida. It was a wonderful experience and we are so happy to have chosen this place on VRBO. Our trip was spectacular!
