So the cabin itself is nice. What the listing doesnât tell you is that there is 0 reception and they donât provide wifi. They give you a binder telling you there isnât any wifi when you arrive, so you arenât able to prepare your necessary downloads or even activities that would occupy your time there at that point. Now when youâre staying in Yosemite, you most likely need a map route to get around. Youâre away so you check in with loved ones back home, look for other attractions to do around you, etc. you arenât able to do that for the time that you spend in the cabin.
Charming, well-maintained house. The kitchen (including fridge, pots, pans, etc.) was spotless. BBQ grill was also in great condition. Plenty of space because we only had 4 people and didn't even use the 1st floor bedroom. The upstairs rooms are spacious and the balconies are nice. There's no wifi at the house (which I actually appreciated) but you can get free wifi by their office just up the road. Super minor quibbles: the knives were very dull, the shower door upstairs was difficult to open, and there was no where to hang clothes or towels in the bedrooms. None of these things had a major impact on our stay. We would go back in heartbeat!
We stayed at the house for three nights while hiking in the Park. The house is spacious with nice big bedrooms upstairs and a well-stocked kitchen. The only downside is no Wi-Fi or cell service.
We enjoyed our stay at the Clark Cabin! Convenient location about 30 minutes outside of the valley. It was all we needed to rest at night between our adventures in Yosemite. Plenty of space, comfy beds, just plan to bring all you need for any meals as the kitchen lacked any staples beyond salt and pepper (no oil). Also note there is no wifi or cell signal in the house. WiFi is provided only at a central lounge in the neighborhood. Would definitely stay again!
We got to the cabin and the fire was on to great us. The beds were comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Great pots and pans. All the necessary kitchen tools, including a pastry brush. The cabin was very clean and inviting! We would absolutely stay there again and would highly recommend it!
We had to cancel the trip due to extreme weather conditions and due to a family member testing positive with Covid.
This was an expensive lesson for us. We should have bought travelers insurance.
My husband and daughter are both grumbling that insurance should be folded into the cost of booking.
Management was attentive and helpful. Attractive cabin inside and out. Criticisms: lack of closet space; and the cell-phone dead zone location, a 6-minute winding drive down from Hwy 41. Also, we were not given the address until after we booked and paid.
Wonderful place! This was the cleanest place we have ever stayed, and it had the most comfy beds!! The outside grill was even spotless! The fridge was very clean. We had a little problem with a knob on the gas stove, but management was there within 10 minutes to help us.The huge deck was great for our evening meals. It had two square tables and 6-8 chairs. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need (minus a cheese slicer). The only negatives were: there was no air conditioning (which the owner clearly mentions). The upstairs bedrooms got kinda hot, even with the fans they provided (in one bedroom we were hesitant to leave the window open at night as it is a patio door with access going right up to it....yes, we were scared of bears). Also, the homeowner might want to hang a few more towel racks in the upstairs bathroom;there were two hooks and three of us using the same towels/washcloths all week. Also, there was no drain plug for the kitchen sink and no kitchen washcloth; kinda hard to do dishes. But these are minor things. Would still stay here again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house.
Great place to stay for a family Yosemite getaway. The management at Scenic Wonders did a fantastic job of fixing a thermostat that wasnât working in a timely fashion and the heating there is so efficient, weâd have been fine without it. The place is about 30 minutes away from Yosemite Valley and is nice and quiet on the tail end of Yosemite West. The only cons would be the squeaky floors and some of the utensils need to be replaced. Overall, it was what we were looking for.
