"We had a wonderful time!!"

"Beautiful property, and stay. Highly recommend!"

"Everything in this house was perfect! The kids as well as the adults all loved our stay! The host responded very quickly to any questions! We will be coming back this summer!"

"We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home with our family and a group of friends. The house truly exceeded our expectations with so many thoughtful amenities that made our trip feel both relaxing and special. The multiple game rooms were a huge hit, and we especially loved the pool table, shuffleboard table, bar area, sauna, jet tub, and the expansive master bedroom and bathroom. The location is fantastic — just minutes from the entrance to Yosemite, close to the lake, and within easy access to pickleball and tennis courts. It was the perfect home base for exploring the area, and the setting itself was peaceful and beautiful.The owners were outstanding hosts. They were extremely prompt, kind, and helpful with every question we had, and they generously shared recommendations for restaurants, activities, and even the best spots to find snow and go sledding. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the essentials, plus some extra touches like snacks and dry goods, which we really appreciated.The only small hiccup we encountered was difficulty connecting to the Wi-Fi. The owner was very responsive and tried to help us troubleshoot, but we weren’t able to get it working during our stay. That said, it didn’t detract much from our experience — we were able to hotspot for TV streaming when needed and otherwise enjoyed unplugging.Overall, this was a wonderful stay in a stunning home with attentive, thoughtful hosts. We would absolutely recommend this property!"

"Thank you for the warm hospitality and the calm escape from city life. The animals were such a joy — especially the curious sheep and gentle dog. We’ll be back next time we need a dose of countryside peace! The room were perfect and the beds very comfortable. "

"The hostess answered all my questions promptly. The house is located in a very calm and pretty location. Home was comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of towels, sheets, and pillows. We enjoyed the wide selection of games and old movies/videos which we very much enjoyed."
