What an excellent place to stay for Yosemite experience!We were traveling to experience Yosemite in winter and perhaps catch Firefall. The park received massive snow just prior to our arrival, and Bill was constantly in contact, letting us know real-time park conditions, which roads to take in light of closures, as well as the conditions within the Yosemite West community. It was beyond comforting to know that he lived on the premises and could keep us updated with developments. The unit itself is great also, very comfortably appointed. We had everything we needed. We had an amazing time and would gladly rent here again. Thanks so much for making it an enjoyable stay!

The place was in a very quiet and peaceful area surrounded by trees and amazing views. The host was responsive and friendly. Everything was clean, well laid out, and beds were comfortable. My favorite part was the photos on the walls and the collection of mountaineering and climbing books! We used most of the items in the kitchen and it was very well stocked. We will certainly be back to enjoy Yosemite and this is a good basecamp in the winter.

It's easy to get caught up while searching for property the newly renovated and modern styles but this jem proves that it is unnecessary. We arrived late and walked into a warm.and inviting residence, the house was clean and well furnished. As a family our biggest frustration is not enough plates bowls and cutlery which there was ample. The view was beautiful in the morning with floor to ceilig windows allowing the winter sun to come in during the day. It's location was also perfect in Yosemite West, around 35 minutes to the Valley.

The host was welcoming. He lives next door, so I ran into him on the property. He's very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, as he is a longtime resident of the area. The property was clean, roomy, and in good repair. We lacked for nothing. A very impressive selection of DVDs was available. Overall, a great stay!

First time in Yosemite area. If not staying in valley hotels, this location is great. Close to Glacier Point and the valley. The property is well stocked with all the essentials. Bill was wonderful to work with had fast answers to all questions. We were in Yosemite so we were there just to sleep and eat and this place fit our needs.

We did a long weekend trip in Yosemite and loved our stay here! We appreciated the kitchen that was fully stocked with utensils, dishes, salt and pepper, cleaning supplies. We liked how there were sufficient towels, toilet paper. The place was also really clean! There’s no AC but with the windows open, fans on and he had an extra fan as well it was totally fine. There were also just helpful small amenities like flash lights, ice and tupper ware that made a big difference since the closest store is not close.It was a 30 minute drive to the Yosemite welcome center. We liked the small patio outside we had dinner out there. Bill is truly a great host!Overall great experience - would come back.

The location is perfect. Given the vast size of Yosemite not having to leave the park was helpful. The neighborhood is nice to be able to walk in.
