My husband and I love to hike and stayed at this gorgeous home for a long hiking weekend. The house was very clean and had a number of extra little details that made our stay enjoyable and comfortable. There was a basket of treats on the table upon our arrival, the owners kindly supplied a good amount of information about the area, the kitchen and bathrooms were well supplied, and the beds were very comfortable. We loved sitting on the second floor deck and watching the sun set with a glass of wine at the end of the day.
If you are travelling with your family, it has plenty of space. If you are not going into Yosemite, or want to relax and enjoy the immediate area, there are board games and an air hockey / pool table on the first floor, and the house is very near a nice lake. (We almost skipped a day of hiking to play, but we'll have to do that next time). The home was very comfortable and it is an easy, short drive from Yosemite (about 45 minutes or so to the entrance and 1:15 to 1:30 to the valley depending upon traffic); it is conveniently located. It is away from the huge crowds, but close to gas stations, stores and restaurants. Perfect. There are deer all over the area, which is awesome and adds to the charm, but be careful when you are driving (the area has a lot of curvy, hilly roads, which is to be expected). Given our experience with the cabin and the owners, I would very highly recommend it if you are planning a vacation in the Yosemite area. We will definitely be back.
