"If you are on the fence about staying here, trust me, you will not regret it! This place is a true gem. It is obvious that attention to detail went into all aspects of creating this amazing home, just a stones throw from Yosemite Valley. We were amazed at how luxurious this home is. From the large soap stone counters, to the super soft white sheets, to the deep outdoor copper soaking tub(that can fit 2 people!), this home has appointments that will wow you at every turn. We were thrilled with our experience here and will definitely be back soon! This home will certainly be our go to place to stay in Yosemite. "

"Our visit to Yosemite Valley was exceptional. The house and setting are extraordinary. We especially enjoyed the patio for hanging out and stargazing, as well as the outdoor kitchen area with large table. The house is well designed, as promised. The location is very convenient to Yosemite. We were able to hike each day without a long drive to the park. And it was great to come back “home” and swim in the river. Definitely recommend."

"This is a wonderful place to explore Yosemite park. The location is magnificent, nestled within a valley overlooking the Merced river. The approach along a private road provides for seclusion and immersion in the surrounding nature. Yosemite Valley and the high country along route 120 are equally accessible. We particularly enjoyed the private chef who guided us through pizza making in the outdoor wood fired pizza oven. A magical experience. The house itself is an architectural gem with superb views from all the windows and decks. The design really takes advantage of the natural surroundings. The interior is spotless and well maintained. The kitchen is set up nicely with high end appliances and a great place to cook. Take advantage of the service to have groceries stocked for your arrival. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it for a unique Yosemite experience."
