Family accommodation in Yosemite West

The house served our group of 6 well. There were a few minor items that needed attention and the host quickly replied to all messages. The view was less than what we were hoping but there was no specific mention of a spectacular Mountain View in the listing. The view is a partial Mountain View with most of the view being trees and other houses. The main reason to book this is the location. It is in the park and only 35-40 minutes from the valley. This reeeaaallly benefited us in regard to our daily activities. We didn’t have to have a reservation for the park or wait in the normally long wait to enter the park. We just got going whenever we felt like it and didn’t have to worry about getting into the park. If you are planning 2 or more days in the park, stay in the park!

Very nice place

I loved the location and the coziness of the place

Property was nice, the only trouble we had was that the TV did not work at all, and there were no baking pans to cook anything in the oven

The property was clean, modern, quiet and very charming. It was more remote than I was expecting but we came prepared with groceries for the duration of our stay so was not a problem that there were no restaurants nearby. The refrigerator did stop working on the last day of our stay but that was just bad luck and not a reflection of the property.

We had an issue with finding lots of giant winged ants crawling on the carpet and a couple black beetles as well. Especially when we turned heater on they would appear out of nowhere near the vents making me think they came from the vents. Needs an exterminator visit to spray around the house. It didn’t ruin our stay though! We just killed them when we would see them with paper towels and we only saw them in the day not at night which isn’t a huge issue since we were mostly out on hikes. Also this place has DVDs, Board games such as Jenga and Monopoly, and some books. The Board games were a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed some Jenga but I recommend bringing some of own board games or card games to add a little more diversity. View from the Balcony in the morning is really relaxing for sipping on a morning coffee and letting your brain rest. Good bathtub and shower but bring own shampoo and body wash as we noticed there was only hand soap in the bathroom. Overall very pleasant place to stay in. Very quiet neighborhood which made it easy to sleep in but I recommend bringing a sleep mask to help with that as it gets a little sunny through the windows in the morning. Didn’t see any bears the whole time here so that’s a relief. Just Squirrels, woodpeckers, Blue Jays, chipmunks and little critters. Very relaxing stay.
