This was my first time staying at a VRBO (or any other) property and my experience was lovely. The house has everything you can think of. Very clean. You are 30 minutes from Yosemite. It was perfect. Would highly recommend.
Manzanita Hill is a wonderful place to stay. The house is clean, well maintained. It has everything you could need. Well appointed kitchen with a keurig and coffee maker, wow! Communication with Todd was a breeze. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!
The house was perfect. Beds were comfortable. So peaceful. Wish we had more time to sit and enjoy it! Just be prepared for how quiet it is at night. you can hear every move someone makes.
"What a wonderful find for our family vacation! This home is truly a beautiful sanctuary, impeccably clean, and incredibly relaxing. We particularly cherished the way it's nestled in nature, offering fantastic opportunities for outdoor relaxation. It was the perfect setting for us to unwind and enjoy time together. We wholeheartedly recommend this home and would love to return!"
