Sunset Retreat NEW LISTING. Inside Yosemite PARK! Close to Half Dome, Ski Area

8/10 Good
"Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and I would rate this property 7/10. The home is spacious, and the kitchen is large enough for a group to gather, cook, and enjoy meals together. The master bedroom and the second bedroom with the queen bed were comfortable, and the master bathroom has a very large shower that was wonderful to use. I also appreciated that the host provided large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, which was a thoughtful touch. Having a washer and dryer was another great convenience, allowing us to wash our clothes before heading home. One thing to keep in mind is that all the bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the lower level. There is no bathroom on the main living area, so guests need to go downstairs to use the restroom. This may not be the most convenient layout for elderly guests or anyone with knee or mobility issues. The bunk bed is suitable for children, but adults sleeping on the lower bunk may find the clearance low, making it difficult to sit up straight. If you’re visiting Yosemite, it’s also worth knowing that power outages can happen in the area. During our second night, the electricity was out for more than three hours after we returned from a full day of exploring. Since there was no cell service or Wi-Fi during the outage, it would be a good idea to bring a flashlight or rechargeable lantern just in case. Overall, this is a comfortable, spacious home in a great location for visiting Yosemite."
