Nice accommodation strategically located
We rented two houses in close proximity (Scenic Wonders and Yosemite Summit) to accommodate entire family and grand children. Both properties were clean and well stocked. We particularly enjoyed the back decks in the evenings for dinner and conversations. One minor concern and one complaint: - Note that the Scenic Wonders property does not have AC so is hot inside until nighttime cooling - I reserved both places 1 yr in advance. The initial acceptance e-mail rolled off my iPhone so I did not catch the door code. There is little to no Internet and cell phone coverage in Yosemite. The morning of the check-in date, I called Vbro to get access code since I had not received it. The person I spoke to said that code would be texted or e-mailed to me prior to check-in. (similar to other Vbro rentals). When we drove into Yosemite, I could receive e-mail and text only in the west side of the valley. I checked for e-mail or text from Vbro at 2 pm and did not see any. I parked at the side of the road and called. No help. After 90 minutes and one of the party going to the property, we figured out the door code. Lots of stress and no good service from Vbro.

Absolutely amazing
I can’t say enough. This is the most well appointed rental house any of us had every stayed it. Amazing location, so close to tunnel view (makes checking out the sunrise there easy). Beautiful sunset views from the huge deck. The most comfortable beds and pillows! Every kitchen appliance, pot, pan, utensil you could need. Wish I could move in!

Comfort at Yosemite West
The lower unit was not cleaned at all at the check in time but the management acted quickly to get it cleaned fast. The grill gas was empty but again the management replaced it timely. The drain clogging in one of bathrooms is also taken care of in time. Other than the above, it was very comfortable during 3 nights and a good place to watch night sky. We understand it wouldn't be easy to get everything ready considering the house tucked in the forest but considering the high price the management should pay more attention to get it ready for checkin.

Everything smoothly satisfied
Rentes three nights for 5 bed 3bath home. Three bedroom-3 bath home with huge kitchen & living room upstair and 2 bad/1bath with small kitchen&small living room downstairs. Two units are not connected so we have to meet rain on thunderstorm night. But all was manageable and enjoyable. All utensils dishes bowls were supplied more than enough. Wine openers, cutting board, bathroom towels, tissue, coffee pot and filters, big bowls, wine glasses, mugs all supplied with good qualities and satisfied. Thank you. We enjoyed staying. Only thing quite annoyed was bed. Management says all beds are queen sized but it seem quite old and small. Blankets supplied are motel level. Bed makes terrible sounds whenever we move a very small movement. Pillows were fine and suppled enough for everyone. Still we all enjoyed and thank you for the owner and management.

Nice house please fix following items
The house has 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs. It has a large flat driveway that is good for handicap accessibility. It is at the corner of a street that is quiet. Lots of stars with a southern view as well! Only issues are: - downstairs had a funny odor, my party thought it was propane but it smelled more rubbery like in a boat. - outside lights by the stairs did not work, which is a safety issue. - several of the outlets in the kitchen did not work, over by the sink. We had to group the coffee maker and toaster over by the fridge. Very comfortable. Good for a large group. It said there was no WiFi but we were still able to pick up a signal once we logged into the main system by the office! I would stay again if the above items were fixed.

Beautiful home, beautiful location.
Very pleased with the house. Management was responsive and helpful as well. Plenty of room for people and cars... and very few stairs. (Some other houses in Yosemite West have a ton of stairs outside - watch out for that). House was very clean and was ready for us on time. Well stocked with dishes and linens for a big group. My only constructive comment: I would love to see a house at this price point include wifi. The listing is clear there is no wifi, so I didn't deduct any stars. However, the house on either side had it (visible on my phone). It would really help with planning and communication while up in the mountains.

Very clean. Spacious. Kitchen was well equipped.
Nice place to stay and I'd definitely recommend it. The only issue was some ants in the downstairs kitchen, but we didn't use that kitchen anyway. The entire place was spotless and came very well stocked. My kids only wished we'd stayed longer.

Our family and friends enjoyed a great stay in this nice home for the weekend, and spending some time out on the balcony enjoying the beautiful view. The only thing we wished this home included was some air conditioning to cool us down during the summer heat.

Good Yosemite Location
The location of the property was very convenient to Yosemite and Glacier Point. The house itself was well appointed with sufficient bedrooms and common areas. The main failings were in the maintenance of the property. The downstairs apartment was musty. The upstairs (Yosemite Summit) had a dysfunctional oven, dishwasher and no coffee pot. This reflected poor overall maintenance when compared with the price of the unit. In defense of the maintenance company they did provide a partial refund to reflect the defects. I am hopeful that our experience will motivate a higher quality of maintenance at the property.

Great location & very spacious, but lower unit not as well taken care of as top unit.
Being in the park was a huge benefit - it made getting to our hikes and sights very easy. The top unit was very clean - smelled fresh, sheets and towels were very clean. The bottom unit had a little bit of a funky scent to it and the sheets in the two bedrooms were full of dark hair. The units came equipped with additional sheets, so we were able to change them, but the property was listed to have clean linens upon check-in, which was not the case. We had 9 people staying among the two units and it felt quite spacious. The kitchen was also well equipped with cooking equipment - we purchased groceries before arriving and were able to easily put together breakfasts, lunches, and suppers.
