Great Family home
Not much to look at from the outside and up a very steep road, but inside was a fully stocked house with all the fixings. Beds were comfortable, house was very clean and air conditioning worked, which was needed since it was 103 outside. Not sure we would want to walk back from the swimming pool down the hill, due to how steep the dirt road is, but great to have the pool available. We would definitely stay there again.

El Portal Home
This house was great for our large family group of 8. Location was great-be aware the road is a bit of a vertical challenge. Directions could be more specific as we missed the turn. You're actually turning into a camping facility. The road goes all the way thru it. There's nothing near by for shopping but a small store and gas station. Might plan for groceries in a bigger town. Great for getting to the park - close and easy. Pull out beds weren't comfortable at all. Also the tvs didn't work. Would recommend this property.

Wonderful house
We really enjoyed our stay at Hite's Hideaway. The house was spacious, comfortable and very well appointed. The kitchen had everything necessary for cooking meals. We even used the barbeque. The backyard was great for spotting birds (California quail, woodpeckers and jays). It had convenient access to the west Yosemite entrance. Would definitely stay there again.

We gathered here with family and friends from Switzerland. We knew we had made the right choice when they commented that this was a "perfect" place to stay... close to Yosemite Valley and the many trailheads/ hikes that started there, and all the conveniences of home. Perfect week.

Our grandkids loved the game room and the big bathtub! This was a clean and comfortable home for ourselves, kids and grandkids to stay at while visiting Yosemite. The steep dirt road to access the house can be a bit challenging but it’s not a long way to go. We all enjoyed it and it is only about 7 miles to the Yosemite park boundary.

Perfect retreat outside Yosemite
What a beautiful house up on the hill above the Merced River. This was the perfect retreat after a few days in the backcountry. It was very close to the main entrance of the park and gave us quick access to the Valley. Everything was clean and ready for our stay. Our friends were saying how they'd like to come back because it's the perfect house in the perfect location.

We loved staying here. It was perfect for our group! The deck was amazing and the grill out there. We spent every evening out there and the mosquitoes weren't even bad. The hot tub was a bonus! It's very quiet and secluded which we loved. It is also easy to get to Yosemite. Make sure you bring towels for the pool and hot tub.

Exactly what you want in the mountains
Location was wonderful. We were not able to get tickets to Yosemite but we got up early and it was only a 15 minute drive to get inside the park. The house itself had so much space and it is exactly as advertised. The deck was wonderful and open and shaded. The only part of the property that made things a little tough was the Wi-Fi didn't work in the evenings. Not exactly sure why but after a long days of hiking we found we weren't able to relax and watch TV. But I would definitely recommend this home to anyone. And I have every intention of using the property again. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Great Yosemite Cabin
The location was perfect for exploring Yosemite Valley. A little tough to get to in a mini van. off road access. Tucked away and very private. Great deck. lots of upgrades. My only critique is the sofa beds are not very good for sleeping or even sitting. large but uncomfortable. The spa was not working but the owner responded promptly.

One of the best rentals I have ever visited. It was clean, quiet, and well appointed. The owner/manager was very responsive. I wish I had more time to just chill at the house and enjoy the scenery from the backyard, but we spent most of our stay visiting Yosemite and other local spots. I really regret not using the grill and jacuzzi during our visit. Use of the pool at the Yosemite Cedar Lodge was great for the kids to cool off after a long hike. Just tell the front desk you are renting the cabin with the dirt drive way and they'll know what to do. Speaking of that, the road to the cabin is quite bumpy and steep. We had a loaded minivan and made it up without much concern but I'm not sure how a RWD vehicle would do on that road. All in all it was a great stay.

Hidden gem close to the park!!
My friends and I had a great time at this property. The house had everything needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, especially the hot tub!! The hot tub and the patio deck was such a nice treat after a long day of hiking in the park. I feel the photos do not do justice to the property. The place was much nicer than what you see in pictures. We would definitely be back again.

Nice clean home in a quiet location
The home was very nice in terms of amenity and location. About 15min to Arch rock entrance if no traffic. The rooms look much better than the pictures. Suggest the owner update the pictures with better ones. We originally booked for 9 people but the other family couldn’t come so we 6 people enjoyed the the whole house. Very spacious and had all the kitchen equipment and stocks to make meals. We just bought some food from Costco and cooked all our breakfast and dinner. The deck has a view of the mountain and feels very remote. The road to the home is not paved so it can get a little pumpy. Overall a very nice home for our Yosemite trip.
