We had a wonderful stay, the beds were comfy and the rooms were clean. There was a cute chonky orange cat that hung around the backyard that sunbathed during our stay. The bathroom was nice and tidy and they provided a good selection of tea & coffee. A very nice house that was small and homey

This cozy cottage was perfect for my family and I. We arrived, entered the code, chose our rooms, unpacked, loaded the refrigerator with our snacks, changed and headed out the door to meet with family. The beds were so comfortable that we snoozed our alarms to sleep in a bit more!We entered our information for the TV apps which kept the kids entertained while we got things done for our family festivities.

Cute place

Overall, our stay was great. The owners have gone to great extents to upgrade this cute old house. We pondered what it must have looked like back in the day it was built. We liked the historical artwork hanging. We were traveling with our two little kids. One slept in a pack-n-play that we brought, the other in a twin bed. I slept in the other twin bed, while my husband enjoyed the queen to himself. It was a good size for us. We didn't spend all that much time at the house, as we were visiting family and attending a funeral. The house rules are simple and Morgan kept in great communication with us. I'll disclose an experience we had that is no fault of the owners, and could not have been predicted... We arrived after dark. As we were navigating to the house, we turned onto the final street to find two cops had pulled over a car and were about to search it. We were distracted by the comotion and missed the driveway just two houses down. Not the best first impression. BUT we were happy to find the driveway was gated and survelanced, with off-street parking. We have stayed in California enough times to know not to leave anything unattended or unlocked. My husband goes as far as to pull a specific fuse in the car, so it can't be stolen. We felt safe at this house.

The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were very attentive. We had a minor issue that was addressed immediately when we reported it. The cottage is walking distance to restaurants and the bus/train stations if you’re connecting by public transportation. This is a great home base for anyone visiting Yosemite. Overall a great stay.
