Second stay--just as special!

I love this property and the coziness of the humble house at the end of the dirt road. It's quiet, relaxing, peaceful; just what I needed. My dogs and I stayed for a week, and wish we had another week. Maybe next year. There is a familiar comfort to this place, like you have just come home again.

Yosemite visitors

The property was simple and comfortable. One bedroom had a day bed with trundle that was a bit short for my 6ft. 2in husband but everything else was good. The kitchen was well equipped and nice extras like coffee was provided. It was 54 minutes from the park entrance and an easy drive.

Awesome place

We stayed here because we wanted to visit Yosemite and Grand Sequoia. We loved the cabin. The fenced yard was lovely for my dog. Jim was awesome, even though we had to wake him at 3am because the directions to get in weren't accessible via Vrbo's website (server error when trying to open the Word doc) so it was clearly Vrbo's server having an issue.

Family visit to Yosemite

The house was very cozy! Plenty of room inside for myself, my husband, our son, and 2 dogs, and lots of space outside to walk our pups. Decently close to Oakhurst and Mariposa, and a pleasant drive to Yosemite. Jim was very responsive and helpful!

Welcoming and Cozy

I came to the area for the annual Firefall. I spent most time away from the house. Once i returned from hiking and taking pictures in the rain and snow. This home was perfect to come back to. The entire property is beautiful and inviting. I had a wonderful time and will defently be returning.Thanks again Jim.

Quiet Comfortable Relaxing Getaway

We enjoyed “The End of the Road” vacation home very much! It was in a beautiful quiet location, a very comfortable and relaxing getaway. It had everything we needed, and was bigger than we’d thought it would be. We visited Yosemite and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias while there, and the home was a good location between the two. We wish we’d been able to stay longer than 2 nights and hang out. Our host was easy to communicate with too. Thank you Jim, and VRBO, for such a wonderful stay! We hope to come back sometime, Melissa & Greg Stephens

Peace & Quiet

WE SPENT MUCH OF EACH DAY JUST SITTING ON THE BIG SHADY PORCH, NOT HAVING TO TO BE ANYWHERE AT A CERTAIN TIME, OR EXPECTING ANYONE. JUST THOROUGHLY ENJOYING THE LACK OF NOISE, THE FAINT BIRDSONG, THE PERFECT MILD WEATHER. WISH WE COULD HAVE STAYED 3 TIMES AS LONG.

Clean, spacious house

We enjoyed our stay a lot! The house is spacious with three bedrooms and a yard. The communication is great. The only issue we had is with a neighbor’s dog who was wandering offleash on the public road and attacked our small rescue dog. Luckily no serious injuries but dog owners please be careful!

Total Quiet at the End of the Road

This cabin is indeed at the end of a well-maintained dirt road...no traffic. The road is only about 1 1/2 miles long off the highway. The closest neighbor is about 1000 feet away and that house is currently vacant (June 2024). Thus, in the evening and most of the day, there is 100% quiet. It's a great cabin to just sit on the porch, listen to nothing, and re-energize onself. And if you miss the noise and traffic congestion of the big city, you can drive to Yosemite Valley which is about 90 minutes away and experience it there!

Made the right choice

Being unfamiliar with the Yosemite NP area, I was astonished at the high cost and lack of availability & privacy with most of the lodging options, especially since our our son brought his dog along. Jim's property was perfect - reasonably priced, comfortable, clean, extremely private and well-supplied. He communicated promptly, and graciously extended us an hour extension on our departure, even though other guests were likely on the way. Another plus: the fastest Wifi of any rental we've ever used. As for Yosemite, mid-may is definitely the ideal time to visit. The weather and waterfalls were extraordinary, and crowds were minimal; much less than we expected. Remember that this location comes with the understanding that there is a bit of a drive to Yosemite, but it's quite scenic and relatively easy, especially using the CA140 entrance. It was surprising to read that the drive was a drawback sometimes expressed in the house guestbook by previous renters. Considering the cost, availability, and crowdedness of the few closer options, this is really as good as it can possibly get. Many thanks to Jim for a wonderful getaway!
