Quaint home in a peaceful location. Had everything we needed and more.
Being that this area is so remote, I felt so lucky to have found this home for rent within just a few miles from where my uncle and his wife and kids live. I stayed here with my father and brother. It was nice that the property was big enough to accommodate our family over for dinner and to hang out on the porch. The toys that were provided were perfect for my young cousins who enjoyed them. There were 4 deer that would come to visit every other day, and that such a nice treat. My brother and I hail from from Orlando, FL and my father from Boston, MA, both large cities. So this rural area was such a peaceful and relaxing break from our usual lives. The only critique I would have is the water temp. I did see the note in the bathroom about the temp and needing to wait for the water to heat up, which we did. But even after the water heats up, the temp constantly fluctuates during the shower. And none of us were taking long showers by any means. So we would have to constantly adjust the knobs to avoid either extremely hot or extremely cold water. My brother called it "playing shower DJ". I noticed a note in the guest book about other guests experience the same issue. For cleanliness I gave a 4 instead of 5 because I noticed the baseboards were dirty. I assume there's a cleaning service hired to reset the rental before the next guests come in, and if that's the case they should be taking care of details like that in my opinion. Overall a wonderful stay and hope to rent again!

This home was more than enough for us while we visited Yosemite and other places in CA. The freezer was stocked with ice, kitchen was full of dishes, pans, cooking and baking supplies, Keurig maker and cups...we enjoyed eating here and packing food to go for the day. The beds were comfortable and they even had some games in the closet. We highly recommend this place!!!

Fantastic Place to Stay
This place was great! We were in the area for a fishing tournament and decided to book this location. There was plenty of room for 3 boats and the house was very clean and comfortable for our group. The owners were really the best part! They reached out to us to make sure everything was going ok there was inclement weather the weekend we were there and they offered a generator and space heaters in the event of a power outage. This simple call shows so much integrity and care for their guest we will absolutely book this place whenever we visit the area in the future! Thank you for the great experience!!

Home base for Yosemite
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is spotless, loaded with plenty of towels, paper goods, and extras. Theres a kuerig coffee maker and plenty of different kinds of pods. Soaps and shampoo in the bathroom, even new toothbrushes incase u forget yours. There were cold bottled waters in the frig. We barbequed one night and the grill looked brand new. We also enjoyed watching the wild turkeys. We were glad we bought our food before we got to town. The closest store was Don Pedro Market, its small, expensive and limited. Over all a very nice house, we wouldn’t hesitate to book again!!
