Location is exceptional, just minutes from the Yosemite park entrance. Owner support from Dan occurred essentially instantly from our few questions. The house is a bit rustic, but comfortable and fits the environment perfectly; and the river element is absolutely unique. Be sure to visit town and find the oldest saloon in CA.

This house was a hidden gem. We wished we had stayed two nights more. And just stayed at the house. It was the most relaxing part of our trip. The house has everything that you might need. It seems like someone lives there and just left for the weekend. It was quiet and dark at night. It seems isolated. Sitting by the river is peace! They have comfy chairs by the river. Best VRBO house that we’ve ever stayed in.

The Riverfront House was a perfect location for us when we visited Yosemite. It was a short drive to the entrance and we were able to get there early and get right into the park. We had breakfast and dinner at the house and packed a lunch for the park. We enjoyed the quiet back at the house as well as wading in the river and sitting around a campfire. We would happily come back again!

The Riverfront house was very close to the park entrance. It appears to have new windows, wood floor and furnace. Lots of kitchen gear if you plan to cook there. The river out back is beautiful.

This property is very close to the entrance into Yosemite via 120. It also has a very nice creek/small river that runs behind the house with chairs and a picnic table. Very relaxing. The house and amenities could use some updating. The beds were comfortable but the linens needed to fit the beds. Because there is no internet or cell service in the area it was hard to connect with the host when we had some issues with check in. The host did his best to get us the needed information in a timely manner and followed up with us afterwards. I truly appreciated his efforts.

The house and location were wonderful. We were able to visit Yosemite National Park during the day, then spend the evenings at the house & in the river. We had a great time and our kids didn't want to leave.

Host was very responsive. Drive time to Big Oaks entrance at Yosemite, accurate. We loved the river access, especially with fishing poles and floats to borrow. Washer and dryer was handy. We enjoyed our stay!

if anything, maybe the grass needs a bit trimming and pathway and entrance to the river needs a little clearing. otherwise the house itself is nice. plenty of dishware, cookware, and linens. We enjoyed our stay and would goback
