Quiet and well located to get into Yosemite. Very large and new space for the two of us, a whole family and/or a group of friends could easily spread out in this home. Bathrooms and kitchen were new and clean. Excellent to have a washer and dryer. Parking for two cars was covered and easily accessible. Very very nice place to stay!

Great House & Location

This was a very nice house. The house was extremely clean. Had plenty of towels and washcloths. Kitchen was well stocked. The foosball table was a lot of fun for the whole family, and there were several board games to play as well. There wasn't air conditioning, but the weather is so nice all you had to do is open a couple of windows and it was plenty cool enough.

Wonderful place to stay just outside Yosemite

This cabin was a wonderful place to stay just outside Yosemite National Park. I am not sure you could get any closer to the park without being in the park. Everything was super clean, and while the property is right on the road, it still felt private and peaceful.

Not a long enough stay

We arrived at the property late in the night after a long drive from San Francisco. We immediately felt at home, the property had everything a family would need and more. It was clean, tidy and extremely well equipped. The location was fantastic, a short journey from the south entrance to Yosemite. The only negative to our stay was that we didn’t have longer to stay and enjoy the property more. It would have been an incredible base to explore Yosemite from and to come back and relax after a days adventure. We will definitely be back to Yosemite again and will be hoping to stay here again.

Above and beyond!

This cabin is an ideal stay for families searching for a home base for Yosemite excursions. It wasn’t flashy but had the most important things covered: Soft, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water and room for the kids to play upstairs and outside. The back entrance provides immediate access to 41 and it was easy to get in line for entry to the park. General stores nearby inside the park and out had everything we needed as well. Looking forward to visiting again!

Lovely short stay!

We stayed overnight after visiting the park. The place had everything our family of three needed and well kept. Lots of games, a foosball table and extra blankets in the closet were really appreciated. Cheryl is a great host and responded promptly! I had to make a last minute change and she was kind enough to accommodate my request!

Great location and very clean.

This is a perfect location for Yosemite. We stayed here in late July 2023 and it’s right next to the South gate of the park. It is right off Hwy 41 so there is some road noise but the location overcomes that and it’s really not that bad. It’s one of the nicest cabins in Fish Camp. Very clean, had everything we needed, and Cheryl, the host, was easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Cabin!

We had an amazing trip to Yosemite staying here. The location is phenomenal and only minutes from the south entrance to Yosemite. We went into the park multiple days and its only about 25 minutes to the valley floor. The property utself is clean and in excellent shape. We would recommend this property for anyone looking to visit Yosemite.

Locate to Yosemite is the best outside the south entrance

Loved this stay. Comfortable, clean house perfect for a visit to Yosemite. Well equipped kitchen, laundry, WiFi, entertainment. Even though the house is located on the road that leads into the park, the area is quiet and there is not many cars passing by after sunset. It’s a short walk down to the creek to watch the gnatcatchers at sunset.
