Undoubtedly the best stay around Yosemite. It’s just 20mins drive to the South Gate entrance from the property. Amazing breakfast served which I loved it! The rooms are kept clean and the amenities are awesome. Only drawback is there is no one to answer your questions since there is no one at the property. But we managed somehow. Overall I would rate it 9.5/10

Great, peaceful, secure stay here! Breakfast was simple but had everything I could have asked for. Tip: Make sure you have the check-in instruction email or text pulled up before heading there, didn't really have good cell service in the area.

Just want to say thank you to Deena for being such a gracious host! The breakfast was an awesome fill up before a full day in Yosemite, and the bedroom and spa were incredible. I would highly recommend this spot to anybody trying to visit the parks for a few days, thanks again!

At first, I was wary as the stairs upon entrance are steep if you have luggage. And I had high heels on! There was no one to greet me nor guide me, so it can be very confusing. But the room was flawless and I adored the rose theme. The view was excellent. The continental breakfast was perfect for preceding a day of hiking! The coffee maker was complicated for a caffeine fueled person such as me! Overall, though, this is an enchanting and charming place to stay! Kara Miller, M.A.

Nice area has potential to be a nicer bnb, shower and tub where pretty gross tv remote didn’t work, had a musty mildew smell in side, outside lights didn’t work so had to navigate the deck in the dark. Wasn’t bad but wasn’t great just needed a place to sleep before Yosemite

Super cute property! Close to Yosemite entrance and about 6 minutes from restaurants in Oakhurst. The furniture and decorations were beautiful! I loved the view from my room "The Garden Rose". I had a panoramic view of the Sierra National Forest. Breakfast was amazing! The lady that prepared breakfast was sweet and friendly. Id definitely stay there again.

Quiet location
Check-in process reliant on welcome email that I did not receive (was very simple once “code” received). Good location for accessing Yosemite. Caretaker JoAnn provides an amazing breakfast at 8am. Facility is clean. However I would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues. Parking can be an issue if a guest occupies more than 1 space, there are 4 rooms and 4 parking spots. You will have a bit of a drive to access food or other services.

My daughter and I arrived to find that no one was available to greet us. There was a phone number to call and I spoke with someone who gave me a code to get into the guest room that had been reserved for us. I later called back to find out about breakfast options and was told it was served at 8 AM. This was too late because we wanted to be able to spend the day in Yosemite National Park and arriving on Saturday morning at 9 am would mean spending hours waiting to get through the gate, even though I have a Park Pass. I asked if something could be left that we could take with us for a 7 AM departure and was told that the caretaker would come by with this food. At 7 AM the next morning there was no breakfast. Saturday evening, there was a domestic violence incident with other guests on the property. A woman, what sounded like a child, and a man were involved in the incident. The woman kept screaming for someone to call 911 and banged on the doors, including the one to our room. This went in for some time while we hid in our room which had only one exit, past the fighting. Terrified, my daughter, and then I both called 911 and the police arrived. The man involved was arrested and taken out into the night in handcuffs while we waited to be able to escape with our belongings and our safety. There was only one hotel room available in Oakhurst, the closest town to Yosemite, and still many many miles away from the closest gate into the park. This room cost $325 and change.

Dear GuestI am deeply sorry for the distressing incident you witnessed during your stay. Your safety and comfort are of utmost importance to us, and we deeply regret that you had to experience such a distressing situation. This was the *first such incident ever* and completely against the values we uphold.We truly appreciate your quick thinking and courage in calling the police. Your actions helped ensure the safety of all involved. It's heartening to see guests like you who genuinely care about others.We are also incredibly proud of our caretaker for handling the situation with compassion and empathy. Their dedication to the well-being of our guests shines brightly. The care they extended by providing popcorn and pizza for the victim's child and empathizing with the victim during a challenging time reflects their kindness and professionalism. Once the man involved was taken away, there was nothing to be worried about.Please accept our sincere apologies once again, and we hope that you will consider giving us another chance to provide you with a peaceful and enjoyable stay in the future.

The main reason that I took the property was it was available at a peak season for Yosemite national Park, and it was close to the park in a town that had the necessary restaurants and service stations that I needed for my visit.

I read a lot of good reviews on this place. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience. The location was prefect, only 15 min from Yosemite park entrance and 1hr 20 min from mist Trailhead parking lot. The house was cozy, quiet and had very pretty decor. Everything looked great. The room that we stayed in was very small and really hot. The AC wasn't on. There was a not saying the AC is controlled centrally and only came on at night. But it never did, at least not in our room, which made it impossible to sleep. There were mosquitoes and fruit flies everywhere. We turned on the fan on high and opened all the windows at night because it was too hot. The bathroom was clean, but it just had a bunch of fruit flies in it. I found a banana and yogurt in the fridge, which would explain the fruit flies. I'm not sure if it was left behind from previous guest or it was complimentary (the banana looked old). We had to get up very early in the morning to get to the park. While I was getting dressed I noticed a bug on the bed. I didn't know what it was so i just ignored it. It wasn't until I noticed a bunch of red bumps in my arms and legs that I realized it was a bed bug. No one else had issues but me. Maybe it could have been a rash from the detergent used, but It appears it was bed bug bites. I wish we would've had a pleasant stay, but maybe it was just bad luck for us. The owners seem really nice, as they had everything ready for us upon arrival.

Hi Thank you very much for appreciating our efforts. I understand what you are saying regarding the heat.. We are in the mountains and days get really hot and nights get very cold. We have a central air-conditioning system and we try keep it running during the day and turn it off during the night to maintain a delicate balance! I appreciate your feedback and we will see if we can do something about a better temperature management. We are located in the open spaces with beautiful views of the mountains with open decks to enjoy the nature. And believe me, I hate mosquitos/fly as much as you do, but they do show up at certain times of the day and sometimes they sneak in the room if the door gets opened. The room that you stayed at has a great location in terms of being secluded and private deck, but I agree, it has a drawback of attracting these insects more than other rooms at our place. Also, thank you very much for the feedback, we are scheduling room inspection for the presence of bugs but the rashes might be from the mosquitoes. I really apologize for the experience you had.
