Imagine a vacation in a wooded area overlooking a creek; hiking trails a short walk away, a hot tub under the stars, nearby are mountain vistas. You are in a National Park. And best of all you have all of the ammenities and comforts of home - full kitchen, living room with comfortable sofas, game room, laundry. All beutifully decorated. Would definitely recommend and am looking forward to coming again in the future.

My stay was very enjoyable. The home was very cozy and comfortable. It had all the amenities one needs when staying away from home. The location is fantastic. You can find hiking trails right outside the house. Other sites within the park are a short drive away. You can relax or be a little more vigorous in your outdoor adventure. You will defintely have terrific, beautiful pictures to go home with.

Left on 09/11/2012 for a stay in September 2012
I absolutely loved the home for my vacation. It is comfortable and beautiful. I loved the decor and the attention to detail to make it both beautiful and comfortable. It contains all the amenities I needed, just like being at home. It is surrounded by the beauty of nature and has great hiking right outside the door. It is a short drive to Yosemite valley and Glacier point. It is an even shorter drive to Mariposa grove.
I can't think of one thing to single out as best, I loved it all. -

Colorado Springs, ColoradoA home away from home in the beauty of Yosemite!
Left on 07/02/2012 for a stay in June 2012
Everything about this lodge was wonderful for a large group of 10! We had 4 kids with us (3 of them were teens) and 3 adult couples in our family group. There was plenty of space to sleep and to just relax and hang out. There are plenty of games and a foozball table to keep the kids entertained, as well as the river down below...every time we would get back from a hike, the kids would be down in that water! The back deck is where we spent a ton of time, because of the beautiful scenery. We ate most meals out there and enjoyed the jacuzzi every night after our long morning/afternoon hikes. Just a couple things kept me from giving this rental an Excellent review, which may not matter to you, but we were counting on it since it was listed in the amenities. There was no shampoo/conditioner/body soap, so bring your own unless you want to pay higher prices at the markets up in Yosemite. Also, there is no air conditioning upstairs,only downstairs, which makes it hard to sleep in upper rooms if it is warm (which it was when we were there: 90 - 100 degrees) or if you have asthma (which one in our group did). Each room does have ceiling fans which is great when it is cooler at night. Downstairs stays perfectly cool though! Also, a couple nights we were able to just open the windows and a wonderful breeze comes through and you can hear the river down below! Just amazing!!!
Response from James P Freund - 07/17/2012
Owner
To provide “the rest of the story”,immediately after we read about this problem with the a/c, the on-site manager inspected the premises and found the a/c to be impaired but functioning. We scheduled an urgent repair which has since been performed (fine grains of sand were partially plugging the a/c inlet) and the problem was corrected.
We deeply regret that this occurred and also that it was not immediately reported so that urgent corrective action on the a/c could have been taken. (The desired toiletries could also have been delivered from the office right away.)
Unfortunately, we cannot anticipate every problem but are committed to correcting any issue of which we are aware as expeditiously as possible, including compensation to our guests for inconvenience when appropriate. (A substantial discount and gift were offered to our guests for any subsequent visit.)
In a follow-up email, our guests explained in part that they had a lovely time, and that “we will also let everyone know that if they visit Yosemite they must book your place!”

Beautiful home in an unbelievable setting. We were warm, cozy, comfortable, and relaxed. Endless places to hike and play. Nice game room. Foosball tournaments ruled! Resting in a hot tub on the deck under the moon and stars, towering pines, with sounds of the rushing creek was unbelievable. Can't wait to go back.

Howard, WIGreat Vacation Cabin
Left on 12/24/2010 for a stay in August 2010
This is the most fun I have ever had a cabin! It has everything you could want on your vacation in the forest, Including a Hot tub a Game Room! The interior is beautiful, with a flowing Yosemite theme through-out all the rooms. Outside there is a huge deck that wraps from the front to the back of the house that over looks a river flowing only a few feet behind the house. This is by far the nicest place I have ever had the pleasure of staying at.
