Ideal location and is only 12 miles from the park entrance. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It’s in a very quiet location.

Close to park entrance!

Stayed here over Memorial weekend when there were zero reservations in the park. Only about 15 minutes from the entrance and a little over an hour to the valley floor. Only 3 minutes off hwy 120. If you are looking for quiet alternative to noisy campgrounds in the park this home is a good option. Perfect size for couple or family.

Nice location and value

The park is a relatively quick drive from here. One of the closer options we found. Very clean, great WiFi, well stocked and comfortable. Bedrooms are tight but it’s good for a couple.

Peaceful Retreat Near Yosemite

Our family had a wonderful adventure based out of Yosemite Mountain Cottage. It was cozy and we had a great time playing poker and board games each night after a full day of hiking in the park. We even enjoyed watching for meteors in the dark skies from the open field outside. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen met our needs for four nights. It felt remote but there was a nearby gas station and market that was a great resource.

Great cottage close to Yosemite entrance

Lovely, clean, cozy cottage that was comfortable for our small family. Full kitchen, microwave, oven, refrigerator. Washer/dryer was a bonus too - just bring your own detergent. No A/C but there are fans in each room and we just opened the windows at night. Quiet location on the outskirts of Groveland only 12 mins to Yosemite's Big Oak Flat entrance.

Location was wonderful. Beautiful cottage. Be prepared - no tv, no cell service (Verizon). Nice to have games available to play for kids and adults. Driveway needs work. Our truck was fine. Would be an issue for a sedan.

Everything was great except the lock on the front door was extremely difficult. On the second and third days we decided to leave the door unlocked, fearing if we were able to get it locked we would probably be locked out when we returned. When we left for good on the fourth day we were unable to lock the door so left the properly unlocked.

Quiet getaway near Yosemite

Quiet cottage outside of Yosemite. Very clean and beds were very comfortable. Roomy enough for a family of four.

Great cabin close to the entrance of Yosemite

It was a great cabin for what we needed. We wanted a place close to the entrance and also accessible to Hetch Hetchy, tioga pass, and yosemite valley. The cabin had all the basic amenities. The washer and dryer was definitely a nice perk. There is no AC, but that didn't matter to us since we were gone during the hottest part of the day. Bed and pillows were comfy and in a very quiet. We were originally scheduled to stay in thousand lakes, but made a change to a more secluded area at the last minute. It was a good change for us!
