"Cute town to stay in before Yosemite. Check was super easy and staff was very welcoming!"

"Feels like you are stepping back in time. The history that must be housed here! We enjoyed staying here and will stay here again. Ultra modern appliances available in the “family room”. Coffee in the morning was so appreciated and having the fridge for the kids’ to have their snacks was perfect. The owner was sooo welcoming and we felt very much at home."

"Great location- beautiful views, close to Yosemite national park. The spacious house is well equipped with all amenities and very comfortable for a family stay. The deck, a great place to gather and enjoy. If you can navigate the many many steps down to the private dock by the water, you will find a serene, gorgeous spot to relax. Hiking trails nearby a great too."

"Amazing home for a getaway or retreat! Mike was really quick to reply to all of our messages and the house was well equipped with all the utensils to cook everything we wanted. Highly recommend!"

"We are grateful to have found kind homeowners willing to host a large group of high school students. Thank you so much!"

"Clean, comfortable, great staff and furnishing's"

"I would come again :). All was great, communication spot on, everything we needed. I would recommend bring a water filter as the water wasn’t the best (even out of the fridge) but that is workable. Kitchen well stocked, beds are very comfortable (firm in a good way). Lovely views and very peaceful. "

"This was the best place I've ever stayed! An absolutely heartwarming farm w the friendliest cats, goats (so many baby goats!!!), chickens, dogs, llamas, cows and more! I chased toads at night and my fav kitty Socks aided my mission. I spent more time on the farm then in Yosemite because it is such a magical place. I hope to visit again! "

"Perfect for our family! Kitchen is well stocked, plenty of towels, great location."
