Great cabin in Yosemite

We stayed here for three nights. The cabin is very well maintained in a great location near restaurants and about 45 minutes or so to Yosemite Valley. It's a great place to spend the day enjoying the sites in Yosemite and spend your evenings in a comfortable cabin with a really great deck, outdoor space.

The home was awesome! We stayed here during a recent trip to Yosemite with family. The home is about a mile from the entrance to the park and about .5 miles to the Goat Meadow snow play area. The house was fully equipped for our stay, the beds were comfortable and cozy, and the family room was a great size for late night board games that were available for guests. The home is tucked away at the end of a driveway that gives it privacy and you can even walk down the hill to the general store. Thank you Erin and Brian for sharing your home with us. Highly recommend!

Well Equipped Lodge

Beautiful lodge in the woods, very comfortable stay with plenty of spaces for the family to spread out. I was very impressed by the variety and quality of tools, containers, and appliances in the kitchen making home cooked meals a pleasure while on vacation. We enjoyed the variety of seating areas both inside and outside the lodge. The bathrooms were a bit dated, but very clean.

Quest to see FireFall -Feb 18-23, 2024

This property is located close to the South entrance of Yosemite which is convenient. The communication with the property owner is noteworthy. They responded to all of our questions and provided details and information quickly. We found the property to be as described on the website and it is well-maintained and clean. We visited in winter, so we were not able to enjoy the outdoor deck and patio. There were 3 couples in our party, and we had plenty of room to spread out in the main living space. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Cabin

Great cabin in Fish Camp 5 minutes from southern entrance to Yosemite Park. We stayed for 5 days and had the best time at Firefall Lodge. Everything is as described. The kids had a great time and after long days at Yosemite everyone had a great time just hanging out either watching TV, playing board games, cooking and grilling, and so on. The hosts were kind enough to reschedule our original booking to mid July when our original booking was during Spring Break and due to the snow we asked to reschedule and they were so kind to do so without any fees. The cabin is about 25 minutes north of Oakhurst which is the closest town with markets and restaurants. If you don't have reservations to Yosemite like us, Bass lake is about 25 minutes away and what a blast that was as well. We went twice and on one occasion we rented a boat and the kids had a great time tubing. Also close by we booked a RZR tour to the Mariposa Grove in Yosemite and that was an awesome experience as well. We did that through Yosemite Adventure Co which is located about 15 minutes south of the cabin. Tip: Pass on the general store that is in Fish Camp. The sandwiches are not worth it and the store looks in bad shape.

Everything was excellent. The host was very helpful especially when we had to get access to the circuit breaker to fix an electrical outlet. The house is well equipped and there was enough space and room for our family gathering. The outside area was especially nice with a large picnic table and grill. Perhaps can add more lighting to that area at night.

We had a wonderful stay at Brian and Erin's property! The place was clean, spacious, tucked back in the woods and they were very responsive with any requests we had. The house is only a short 2 mile drive to the park and there are a number of restaurants in the area to chose from. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to visit Yosemite or the surrounding area!

Communication was very clear. Some appliances were not working but the owners were apologetic and we worked around that so that was not an issue. A little far from the Yosemite park (a little over an hour) but that’s how everything is
