Location perfect and unit cute. Liked the kitchenette and big refrigerator. Did not like the worn dirty looking blue carpet or the broken tub faucet or the musty smell. The 77 hazardous steps to and from the parking area to the unit were terrible and possibly the worst feature because of their condition. There should be a warning about them in bold letters for guests with mobility issues on steps!

Yes, of course, Yosemite is the most awesome place. We spent our honeymoon there 57 yrs ago and have returned most every year when living in the US. But...while the house we rented was very, very nice, we were a little disgusted at what we found....or did NOT find, such as, 1. not enough toilet paper, 2. not enough bathroom towels....NO washcloths 3. no linens for 3 fold out sofas 4. not even 1 coffee cup. 5. no frying pan or baking sheets 6. broken cupboard door 7. gas barbecue a real mess 8. called owner 2X, who finally told us to look in a combination closet in the master bedroom. In it...garbage bags, one full of the missing dishes....all dirty, all this among the extra supplies. And voila..sugar packages for our coffee and tea. Pretty disgusting. I would definitely stay in Yosemite West again, but NOT by a house owned by this person. For the price...well, I feel like someone owes me money.

We went off season so it wasn’t crowded and the weather was clear and warmer than expected. The waterfalls were amazing! Yosemite is peaceful and beautiful. Parking was free and easy to find. The Ahwhanee was a gorgeous place to visit and eat lunch at. (We didn’t stay there but felt welcomed by the staff). Mirror Lake is a hidden gem - easy hike and beautiful reflections for pictures.

Close to Yosemite Valley and Wawona. Comfortable. Warm. Good appliances that work properly. The kitchen is good enough for you to cook for up to eight people. We went in late November when it was at or below freezing at night and we were ok. Clean place and clean towels. Did not have to call to complain about something not working. I would definitely bring my family back.

It was a great place to stay inside the park. It was about 30 to the valley and Glacier Point, which was awesome. Some of our group stayed outside the park and they had a 1-1/2 hour travel just to get to our place and then more to travel to anywhere else in the park. We shopped at the store before entering the park for breakfast and lunch items. We had family functions so we didn't eat dinner in the park, although with COVID and being late in the season, not many places were open. With COVID and being October, no shuttles were running in the park so driving was easy, not too much traffic. We did a lot of hiking, which was amazing!

The house itself is very comfortable and well-equipped, but lacks wifi and cellular signal (we assume that cellular coverage is lacking for the whole village). The internal phone line to the management office was not answered at any time we called, so I'm not sure who we could have reached if we needed help. Communication quality and management support are the major drawback here. In terms of the location, being inside the National Park and very close to the Yosemite Valley is a major advantage. But for the price of the property, and particularly given the lack of communications and service, a hotel room or rental home in another location would have been better value overall.
