It had everything you could want for a vacation. The owner was very nice and you could tell there was a lot of care put into the property. Our main goal was to visit Yosemite and the property is only a few minutes to the gate. However, once in the gate it is about an hour drive through the mountains to the more popular attractions of Yosemite. Would definitely book the cabin again, but if we want to visit Yosemite I think we will stay inside the park. ##### Corinn V.

We all had our own bedrooms and bathrooms, and the location was so close to the south Yosemite entrance. It took about 5 minutes to get there, and then Mariposa is right after that. We were also very close to the Tenaya Resort and the Yosemite Trails horseback riding. You really wouldn't even need to go into Yosemite to find fun things to do! This home was fully-appointed, clean, quiet, and comfortable. Highly recommend! ##### Sharon H.

For the last 4 years we have been going to different National Parks and staying in vacation rentals. This home was wonderful for family meals and for playing games in the evenings. The location was great for entrance on the west side of Yosemite. The house was overall clean and had all the amenities that are needed to stay and make family breakfasts and dinners. Everything was in working order and no issues occurred. Thorn was wonderful in his communication to us and it was nice to talk with the owner of the home and not an agent. Thank you Thorn for all of your insight on adventures in the area! Would definitely stay there again with our family. ##### Janet M.

The owner is very helpful and made great suggestions regarding park, sights & where to eat. My mother-in-law was with us and using a walker on the first floor was no issue. There is a bedroom & bathroom with access to the kitchen & living room at this level. Thanks again for a great stay. ##### Michelle A.

Lots of room and everything was clean! Beds were comfortable, there were only 4 of us, but could see how 6 would have there own space based on the layout. Thorn did an excellent job in communciations from the time I booked thru the time I left the Half Dome HideAway. I will definitely book this again when returning to Yosemite. THANKS Thorn and Anne for allowing us to enjoy your Half Dome HideAway!! ##### Gary B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jocelyn C. 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Stay - I get why it's 10/10 We stayed at Thorn and Anne's place for 4 nights / 5 days for a Yosemite trip. Location: very convenient, only 6 minutes from the south entrance and there is a corner store just down the street. We did the Sugar Pine train ride which was also about 5-10 min from the house. House: one room/bathroom /floor, which was great for 3 couples. Plenty of entertainment like a piano, pool table, puzzle, and open kitchen and living room. The back deck was especially nice. But the main reason for the 10/10 would be the host communication. Not only were they prompt and attentive communicators, they went above and beyond, such as ensuring we had the right park pass, reserved time into Yosemite, detailed instructions on the driveway. If they had additional properties, i would stay there too! ##### Jocelyn C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan H. 8 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The best stay anyone could ask for! What can I say that others haven’t said already? This was probably the most fantastic stay at any rental I’ve had. Thorn and Anne made us feel so welcome. It was more like staying at a family members house than a rental. Everything worked great, the beds were comfy, and the place is warm and welcoming. We actually got to meet Thorn and Anne because the stove was broken and they wanted to make sure we had a working stove for Thanksgiving. It snowed while we were there and Thorn checked in on us every day to make sure we were safe and everything was working well for us. Also giving us tips on the local area and advise on driving in the snow! I would stay here again and again whenever we come back to the area. ##### Nathan H. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer R., Quakertown PA 12 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Help in Difficult Time From the minute I booked the property to the day of my arrival, Thorn and Anne went above and beyond with communication. First, I was provided very detailed information about how to access the best areas of Yosemite and when and how to get my reservation pass. The property owners checked in with me periodically leading up to my trip. Unfortunately on the day of my arrival, wildfires made accessing the cabin impossible. Thorn and Anne were so great at helping me navigate the cancellation process when they clearly had bigger issues to deal with as the fire was very close to their property. I will definitely book with them on my next trip to Yosemite. ##### Jennifer R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas E. 7 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thorn and Anne's Cabin The on-line description is dead accurate. The cabin is spacious and clean. 3 ample size bedrooms each with full baths on separate floors. Great water pressure in the showers with almost instant hot water. Kitchen is fully equipped, with a gas grill outside. The only utensil missing was a metal spatula for the outside grill. We did not melt the plastic one...The driveway is very steep up to the property and we parked the car at the bottom after the first day as the engine strained to make it up the driveway. This was not a big issue for us. Convenient location to the South entrance and located right next to the general store in Fish Camp. So if you needed anything, it is only a 3 minute walk to the store. Highly recommended. ##### Douglas E. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brown R., Memphis, TN 1 Jul 2018 #### The perfect home while exploring Yosemite Can't say enough positive things about the home. It was the perfect location and just down the road from the south entrance to the Park. Very easy to find, even in the dark and the owner is extremely accessible and always only a text away. He responds within a few minutes and has a lot of local advice on things to do or see. The home had all the amenities we could want, was very spacious and there was copious attention to detail that lended to a very cozy environment with a great deal of creature comforts. The little things were nice such as included coffee, snack bars, bathroom supplies, etc.. We sat, talked and enjoyed our breakfast/coffee each morning on the patio and there's a comfy hammock behind the house in the shade. Lots of games to play and a pool table downstairs. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of linens and bath supplies. The upstairs (second floor) is noticeably warmer than downstairs but even without AC, we didn't have any problems though we turned on the fan and opened the window a few nights during our stay at the end of June. It cools off significantly at night but I can see where it might be a bit warm during the day to some during warmer summer months, though hopefully most people are out enjoying the park during that time. I washed clothes once during the trip and the owner had thoughtfully included detergent and fabric softener. There is ample enough room easily for 2 families though there was only 2 of us during our trip. We found that the drive every morning into Yosemite valley was rather enjoyable, extremely scenic and not too lengthy. We are avid hikers and exhausted ourselves each day on a combination of trails within the park and it was nice to get away from the crowds after each day and spend them back in Fish Camp at the mountain home. In hindsight, I feel as if I lucked out in choosing this home as I was completely unfamiliar with the Park and geography. There are a great many advantages to being outside the park and this is about as convenient as you can get. Mariposa Grove is just a few minutes down the road so I would encourage any new travelers to check it out during your stay. There are several eating establishments near the home and two groceries in Oakhurst where you can get groceries to fix meals at home should you desire. Again, we had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay again on a second trip to Yosemite. ##### Brown R. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott S., Marina del Rey 4 May 2018 #### Deluxe, completely equipped, comfortable with a killer location When I saw this new property available in Fish Camp, I was very excited. Our family has visited the area for years and we know that for many reasons, this tiny town at the entrance to Yosemite is the ideal place to stay. The nearby Tenaya Lodge and the city of Oakhurst (20 minutes away) provide all the activities and supplies you will ever need at reasonable prices. What immediately caught my eye about Half Dome Hideaway, however, was its location off the main highway but convenient to it. Many other rentals in the area lack one or the other. As I looked deeper into the amenities and thought about the size and sleeping arrangements, I thought this might be the perfect place for my family. And so it proved. In short, the home is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and a real value for a party of seven. Recently and completely remodeled, the living and dining areas were big enough to hold our whole group for dinner, movies and conversation. The wall of windows there with forest views create a truly spectacular setting and “billions and billions” of stars in the nighttime sky are just a few steps away on the large front deck. The game room on the lower floor allowed for raucous games of 8-ball and the viewing of a ballgame or two accompanied by sodas and adult beverages at the bar without bothering the movie watchers on the floor above. The kitchen is well-equipped and served us well for breakfast and an “after-Yosemite” dinner. Hot water was endless in the three bathrooms for morning showers (they have an on-demand hot water system). It was cool in April and the central heating was much appreciated. The bedrooms offered privacy and quiet for those who turned in early and the late-night TV watchers got their fix on the bedroom TVs. BTW, there is a full laundry which came in very handy after a close encounter with a muddy trail during a bike ride over at the Tenaya Lodge. In and out was easy too. While the driveway appears steep, it turned out to be a breeze for two passenger cars and an SUV. There was a parking spot for each of us with easy access to the main levels of the house for loading and unloading. Of course, location, location, location. The entrance to Yosemite is literally a mile away which is very important for the “early” start so often required on visits to one of our most popular national parks. Exit the park at the end of a long day and you are home - far from the crowds in the Valley. Highly recommended. We'll be back. ##### Scott S.
