Reviews
Close to Yosemite but issues that need addressed
3/5 Unfortunately, our stay at this rental was disappointing, especially given the potential the property has with a few much-needed improvements.
While the location near the Yosemite entrance is great and the interior is spacious with decent WiFi and kitchen basics, the overall condition of the property left a lot to be desired.
There were serious cleanliness and maintenance issues. We found mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers, and dirty diapers were left outside on the ground—completely unacceptable and unsanitary. The downstairs bedroom had ripped-up carpet exposing cold cement floors, and the tack strips by the door were not covered, which we ended up stepping on—very painful and dangerous.
The outdoor stairs leading to the house were crumbling and felt like a major hazard. The yard was full of fallen trees, making it unusable and uninviting. Despite the listing saying there was a fire pit, we couldn’t find one. There was also supposed to be coffee and cooking spices provided, but the coffee was nonexistent, and the spices were old, dried out, and unusable.
Adding to the frustration, there’s no cell service at the property, and it was difficult to contact the owner when issues came up. Although the roof had a tarp from recent damage, thankfully there were no leaks, but it didn’t add to the feeling of a well-kept place.
This home could be a fantastic rental with better upkeep, attention to detail, and accurate listing information. Until then, I’d be cautious about booking unless you’re prepared for a very rustic and hands-off experience.
5/5 We loved our stay here. The owner was very acommandating. Had everything we needed and fast wifi and still able to enjoy the lovely wilderness. We will be staying there again. Cant wait to go back.

Yosemite Gateway
5/5 The house was the perfect spot for our family whose goal was to spend most of our time inside Yosemite. The house had a great cabin feel that was comfortable and all we needed. There was also a great spot set up by the river bank in the back to have a seat and take in nature or read a book. We had a great stay.

Close to Yosemite
5/5 Dan’s cabin was a comfortable spot for exploring Yosemite. Just a few miles from Big Oak Flat entrance, but very quiet and peaceful. There was plenty of room to spread out and it was nice to have space to cook a family meal every night.
