It was in a perfect location to the entrance of yosemite. Has such a great and close access to a river in the backyard of the property. The furnishings have the old rustic country feel so please dont expect Hilton or Marriott Luxury. This is country charm, and older furnishings but clean clean clean. Close bar/restaurant in buck meadows with great food but really large portions lol! Country charm! Will def recommend.

Dirty sheets hair and oder of men’s after shave on sheets had to call front desk and have sheets changed. Disappointed in the housekeeping service. The property itself is nicely situated near the Toloumne river. Overall we had a nice quiet stay. But the property needs work. Lots of old furniture and junk laying around.

Easy process to check in after hours. Room was clean for the most part. Pillow cham and main comforter looked dingy so took that off. Use the extra blankets which we were happy to find because the heater didn't work. Work up really early to get on the road and the room was 55 degrees. Check out was easy outside of the normal business hours.

Unsanitary

We're not sure how often the sheets get inspected and cleaned but the room we stayed in was dirty. When we flipped the flannel top over so we could sleep, we saw crusted white splotches all over. We couldn't see anything on the brown fleece but the flat sheet underneath had pubic hair on a few spots. We ended up using towels as pillow covers in case and our sleeping bag as a sheet. The hand towel was stained as well. The bed was stiff and kept us awake. It was already past their office hours so we couldn't get anything resolved.

So in love with the cabin style lodging. Excellent addition of the rocking chairs outside each cabin. Greatest idea ever. Easy parking right in front of my cabin. Place is quiet with a flowing river behind. Highly recommend.

Property was adequate for price, bit far from Yosemite itself though. Room was clean and tidy, could have used more amenities such as shampoo/conditioner. Overall a decent experience for the price.

My wife and I stayed here before heading into Yosemite on our honeymoon, and only regret was not booking more of our days here before heading back to home to Colorado. The portion of the Tuolumne that runs through the property is beautiful, providing a peaceful soundtrack to your stay. While nothing fancy, their Wi-Fi was beyond solid, and they provide the kind of solitude that fancy/modern stays could never give you.
