Overall it was a decent property. The house was not as organized and clean as we would have preferred for the price we paid; minimal upkeep and upgrades to the house and amenities would have made a big difference (new towels, rugs, kitchen ware). The dishes we used all had to be washed beforehand for cleanliness; we had to dispose of our own trash when we left, which seemed odd. The stone steps were awkward at the entrance of the front and could pose a trip hazard for some. Very rustic property overall if that is what you prefer and location is ideal to Yosemite, which is definitely a plus.

Secret gateway to Yosemite

We had a lovely time at this residence. So much character in this home! All the kitchen appliances were spotless. We call this place home as we spent three days in Yosemite. A wonderful and easy drive to the park. Super convenient location.

Close to Yosemite

Dan’s cabin was a comfortable spot for exploring Yosemite. Just a few miles from Big Oak Flat entrance, but very quiet and peaceful. There was plenty of room to spread out and it was nice to have space to cook a family meal every night.

Yosemite Gateway

The house was the perfect spot for our family whose goal was to spend most of our time inside Yosemite. The house had a great cabin feel that was comfortable and all we needed. There was also a great spot set up by the river bank in the back to have a seat and take in nature or read a book. We had a great stay.

Great location, to enjoy exploring Yosemite. While roomy, the details, bedding, furniture and kitchen supplies (glasses, etc) were limited and often “weary”. Most significantly, the stairs and railing leading up to the front door were unstable and uneven, something that could easily result in a mishap. Dan, the host, was available and easy to work with.

Home in Groveland

Pros: beautiful back yard at creek. Total privacy, many lazy chairs, even nice couch bed I would call. So natural.Now cons: Big issue with communication with property manager. Did not get lock box code untill just few hours in advance. Knowing phone signal issues, sbould have sent early.Same with scheduled repair work. Manager said he sent message about hour in advance but again he must be aware of phone signal issue throughout Yosemite, should have notified early. You do not want to see someone in the house as surprise. Mattress and bed in one room is in extremely bad shape. Lucky we were less people so used another bed.

Great location but some things could be improved

Great location, close to Yosemite, and private access to the south fork Tuolumne River. The interior of the house is comfortable with a mix of original and updated features and appliances. It has central air which was welcome. It could use some newer linens, towels, and pillows though. Some parts of the exterior of the house are rundown, like the exterior front steps that are crumbling a little bit (may be a hazard to older people) and the rail on the back steps which is really wobbly and about to break away. Beware the interior lower bedroom door is lockable and the provided key to the house does not open it. We found this out the hard way when it got accidentally locked and shut. Luckily, after searching all the drawers, closets, and cabinets for about an hour we found the keys that unlocked the door. Dan, the owner, was responsive to my calls about this but he couldn’t really do anything about it since he doesn’t live in the area. Everyone (guests and owner) should know of this possibility and the location of the keys to open the door. We didn’t see a fire pit anywhere.

Close to Yosemite but issues that need addressed

Unfortunately, our stay at this rental was disappointing, especially given the potential the property has with a few much-needed improvements.While the location near the Yosemite entrance is great and the interior is spacious with decent WiFi and kitchen basics, the overall condition of the property left a lot to be desired.There were serious cleanliness and maintenance issues. We found mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers, and dirty diapers were left outside on the ground—completely unacceptable and unsanitary. The downstairs bedroom had ripped-up carpet exposing cold cement floors, and the tack strips by the door were not covered, which we ended up stepping on—very painful and dangerous.The outdoor stairs leading to the house were crumbling and felt like a major hazard. The yard was full of fallen trees, making it unusable and uninviting. Despite the listing saying there was a fire pit, we couldn’t find one. There was also supposed to be coffee and cooking spices provided, but the coffee was nonexistent, and the spices were old, dried out, and unusable.Adding to the frustration, there’s no cell service at the property, and it was difficult to contact the owner when issues came up. Although the roof had a tarp from recent damage, thankfully there were no leaks, but it didn’t add to the feeling of a well-kept place.This home could be a fantastic rental with better upkeep, attention to detail, and accurate listing information. Until then, I’d be cautious about booking unless you’re prepared for a very rustic and hands-off experience.
