Great location!

This cabin worked perfect for us. It was walkable to the marina and we enjoyed a few day trips to Yosemite. The layout worked great for two families, providing bedrooms and a bathroom on each level. We will definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay at the cabin! The quick walk to the lake was great on the busy holiday weekend! We had two families staying and plenty of room. There isn’t central AC but two AC units that worked well, could see a few of the bedrooms getting hotter in the summer though

Great cabin

This was a great cabin for a couple day stay near Yosemite. The place was clean, quiet and had everything we needed for our short stay. It’s also near a great market and a couple of pizza places which was really convenient.

Charming Cabin with Great Location

The cabin was clean and conveniently located near major points of interest. I loved the charming interior decor details. However, I had issues with the main door knob and adjusting the thermostat, and the chat support was slow to respond. Despite this, I would recommend the place and plan to visit again soon.

Quiet getaway

I booked this for our family weekend getaway we were really sold on the balcony and the pictures of all the scenery. It was a great stay easy check in and right down the way from the lake. There were some minor problems with the property there are several entrances although as guest/renters we are only allowed to go through the front gate. So make sure you don’t exit anywhere else cause you can’t get back in. All the amenities are far from the location. Although there were things that were inconvenient we had a great stay.
