Unsanitary

We're not sure how often the sheets get inspected and cleaned but the room we stayed in was dirty. When we flipped the flannel top over so we could sleep, we saw crusted white splotches all over. We couldn't see anything on the brown fleece but the flat sheet underneath had pubic hair on a few spots. We ended up using towels as pillow covers in case and our sleeping bag as a sheet. The hand towel was stained as well. The bed was stiff and kept us awake. It was already past their office hours so we couldn't get anything resolved.

So in love with the cabin style lodging. Excellent addition of the rocking chairs outside each cabin. Greatest idea ever. Easy parking right in front of my cabin. Place is quiet with a flowing river behind. Highly recommend.

Property was adequate for price, bit far from Yosemite itself though. Room was clean and tidy, could have used more amenities such as shampoo/conditioner. Overall a decent experience for the price.

My wife and I stayed here before heading into Yosemite on our honeymoon, and only regret was not booking more of our days here before heading back to home to Colorado. The portion of the Tuolumne that runs through the property is beautiful, providing a peaceful soundtrack to your stay. While nothing fancy, their Wi-Fi was beyond solid, and they provide the kind of solitude that fancy/modern stays could never give you.

Easy process to check in after hours. Room was clean for the most part. Pillow cham and main comforter looked dingy so took that off. Use the extra blankets which we were happy to find because the heater didn't work. Work up really early to get on the road and the room was 55 degrees. Check out was easy outside of the normal business hours.

Good location and the room itself was OK, but the bathroom is in need of repair - the door getting stuck, *very* weak water pressure in the tap. Also no body wash, when asked they specifically said they don't provide it.

Underwhelmed

Very poor directions finding the place. We got there well after dark and GPS was no help telling us “we had arrived” and there was NO PLACE around. We were a half mile from the place in total isolation and darkness. It was like something in a horror movie. Then we were awakened at eleven o’clock and told we needed to move our vehicle because we were blocking the driveway. It was a gravel parking lot with no defined parking spaces. We were not blocking anyone and there was no problem getting around us whatsoever…. But we moved it. One earlier review described the place as “odd” and I concur. If your companion is the slightest bit finicky about where you stay, this is probably not your place. BTW, they say they’re 10 miles from Yosemite and that’s right…. But that’s to the front entrance! It’s actually a good hour or longer to the Yosemite valley tourist area and that’s with no traffic. Just know what the reality is….
