ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL property and stay. This property exceeded expectations and was even more gorgeous in person than in photos. Only constructive feedback would be maybe a few more oven pans and organization in the kitchen just because we cooked almost every meal and had a large party so more supplies would have helped, but even so there was enough to make it work just fine! Absolutely will be revisiting this magical spot!

This was my first time using airbnb and Daniel made it a pleasant and comfortable experience! He was quick with his responses which made everything run a lot smoother. We had a group size of 18 and everyone was able to sleep comfortably with no issues! We celebrated my daughter’s 1st birthday and plan to come back to celebrate her 2nd birthday here as well! I would recommend this airbnb to anyone who wants a peaceful and fun getaway without ever having to leave the house! A big thank you to daniel for being such an amazing host for all of us!

What a fun location. There’s a lot to do both for a stay at home day and to go out and explore. Sitting on the swing chair watching the sun rise was my favorite part of the house. Daniel was very responsive and addressed our needs immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a more responsive host.

We had an amazing stay! This home truly deserves 5 stars. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had the most incredible views. The location is perfect — close to Yosemite Park and Bass Lake, which made exploring so convenient. The host was wonderful — kind, easy to communicate with, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. Everything about our stay was smooth and enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We had such an incredible stay at this Airbnb! The place was absolutely peaceful and gorgeous, the views alone were worth the trip. Waking up to that scenery each morning was truly special and made it easy to relax right away. The home itself had so much to offer. There was plenty to do without even leaving the property, which made it perfect for both quiet downtime and fun activities. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up, giving everyone plenty of room to unwind. One of our favorite features was the outdoor dome , it was such a unique and cozy spot to relax and take in the surroundings. It really added something special to the experience. Daniel was a fantastic host, friendly, welcoming, and incredibly responsive whenever we had a question. He made everything smooth and stress-free from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful getaway!
