"We had a great time! The house was very comfortable, had everything we needed. The telescope is a plus! The area is great for stargazing, even with your eyes, standing outside, you see so many stars, and the milky way. The house is 10 min from Mariposa, with great restaurants and stores, and a short 1h drive from Yosemite. We will definitely be back!"
"I stayed in a pet-friendly family suite (there were 3 adults and a small dog in our party) in mid-October. Great location to the Big Flat and Hetch Hetchy entrances to Yosemite. The staff is SUPER friendly and nice. There's a park across the street where I was able to walk my dog."

"Our stay at the Grand Waterside Estate will forever hold a special place in my heart. The property is beautiful, spotless, and peaceful, but Jacob’s kindness and hospitality made our experience truly unforgettable.I booked the estate months in advance as a place to get ready for my wedding and take photos before heading to our ceremony and reception. When an unexpected issue with my original ceremony venue left me feeling out of options, I reached out to Jacob just one week before the wedding to see whether a very intimate ceremony at the estate might be possible.He called me right away, listened with compassion, and graciously accommodated my request. During such a stressful time, he brought me comfort and helped me feel at ease. We exchanged our vows beside the water, surrounded by 30 of our closest friends and family, before heading to our reception. It was more beautiful and meaningful than I could have imagined, and I wouldn’t change a thing.Beyond that special moment, the estate offers so much to enjoy, from swimming to relaxing walks through the gorgeous surroundings. It’s a wonderful place to spend time and make memories with the people you love.Jacob, I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and for helping make our wedding day so special. This was so much more than a stay, it became a memory we will treasure forever. Five stars hardly feels like enough!Family full of musicians so the grand piano was a bonus! I wish at I had more photos to share!"
