Lilac House near Yosemite
We had a wonderful stay at the lilac house near Yosemite. Charles are host was very gracious. Showed us everything about the house. It was brand new, wonderfully decorated and very roomy. It’s a perfect vacation home for a family or just a couple. It was well furnished and the kitchen had all the supplies you could use to prepare any meals The location is about 40 minutes from Yosemite national Park. It’s a bit of a drive but staying at Lilac house was well worth it.
