"Location is 5 minutes from Glacier Point drive. Staying in the park allows us access the park without a reservation. Sofa beds aren’t in good condition. House out dated but everything works fine. "
"Relaxing and convenient to two Yosemite entrances (El Portal and Mariposa Grove). Six rooms in three separate buildings. Private deck area for each room. Modern bathrooms and great AC/heat. Satisfying breakfast. Quiet rural location. Highly recommend! "

Go shopping for microwave food before you get here. Dining is expensive and extremely limited.

Location was lovely, quiet and clean. Landscaping well maintained, much better than rooms. I think the property is nice overall but needs better maintenance person.

We did not visit the town much but it seemed to hce the gas station and little market one would need to make the stay easy to coordinate.
"Our one night stay was perfect for getting into Yosemite. The Merced River across the street was a highlight for my kids. The size of the room and spacious bathroom was great. My kids loved the sleepover on the sofa bed. We really wanted to stay an extra night but there were no rooms available. The staff was great and convenient restaurant on premises. My kids also like the game room and indoor pool. "

"There are 2 restaurants near by, they were ok, but not worth the price. We made use of the refrigerator, coffee machine and microwave to save on food prices. We were disappointed the hot tub was out of service. Are room was kept clean and office staff was very nice. Very convenient location to Yosemite park. I would stay here again. "
