10/10 Excellent
"This was our second visit to this lovely cabin. We really enjoyed all the amenities and it really is wonderful to be staying inside the park and not having to drive that extra time just to get to the Valley floor. It’s so worth the cost. Eric was very helpful when we had questions or issues. He was quick to respond. The sunsets are lovely to watch on the deck, and the neighborhood was so peaceful. It’s exactly what you look for on this type of getaway. We would recommend this location to our friends and family for future stays at Yosemite."
