Family Christmas Vacation

Property in great location near Yosemite (about a 45 minute to hour drive). Owner/Property Manager is communicative and the rental is comfortable and spacious. Would suggest bringing own drinking water as filtered and tap water has a bit of a metallic taste. Overall a great rental experience and we would definitely stay again!

Gateway to yosemite

The proximity to Yosemite sold me on this home. The rural location provided a place to relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The home was spacious and comfortable and the beds were great. I would definitely recommend this home for both couples and families.

Perfect place for our Yosemite vacation!

We loved this place! It was a great home base for our time in Yosemite. The home was clean and well-furnished with all we needed. And the property is quiet and in a great location. Just like the property name says, we saw deer wandering by in the evening and morning. Thanks John and Amy for hosting!

Great place to stay for a Yosemite visit

The house is amazingly large with two large bedrooms and bathrooms and large kitchen. The house is in a neighborhood away from the crowds with a large porch for morning coffee or evening dinner. The beds are comfortable and house is clean. Would recommend to all travelers!

Great location!!

The house is very spacious, the land is awesome! The nearby town was a beautiful, small place with locals and visitors. The ride to Yosemite NP was about 30 minutes. The host was responsive (before and after my stay, nothing needed during my stay). My family and I would definitely stay again!

Peace and Quiet! A Perfect Combo

We were looking for a get away to avoid fireworks! This home was peaceful and quiet for our dog who melts when she hears fireworks. We took this opportunity to visit Yosemite and it was within 45 min drive. The star watching around 11pm, was magical at the house. Host was responsive!

Lovely and quiet spot

This was a lovely spot to stay about 40 mins outside of Yosemite. Property was large, quite and clean with good furnishings. The wifi is pretty rubbish but nice to get away from everything nonetheless. Check in and out was easy and the property owner communicated well. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this property.

Perfect weekend getaway in reach of Yosemite

The ranch had everything we needed for our weekend away, and in a great location for access to Yosemite. There were four of us plus our dog and the accommodation was extremely spacious for us. It was very clean on arrival and the instructions for check in were very clear. John's communication was excellent throughout and we are looking forward to another stay in future. We'd definitely recommend the ranch to future guests!
