We enjoyed our 3 day stay at this Fish Camp property. The amenities were plenty to provide all the comforts of a home away from home for all ages. A bedroom in each of the 3 floors were comfortable and afforded privacy with each one having their own bathroom. Living room furniture was very comfortable and spacious.
A TV in every room. The pool table was enjoyable for the kids to play with. The propane BBQ on the deck was easy to use. And they had an EV charging unit on the premise that made it easy for my Tesla to charge overnight.
The location within Fish Camp made everything nearby attractions very accessible and a short drive for a day trip.
The owners were also very thorough and responsive to any questions in a timely fashion. I would recommend this place and plan to be back again.

This place was perfect for my group of seven for our weekend Yosemite trip. It was spacious and clean and we especially appreciated having a bbq and AC after spending all day in Yosemite Valley. Plus we loved having the game room downstairs. Thorn was super communicative and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Our family of 7 made this cabin our home base as we explored Yosemite. This cabin had all the comforts we needed. I loved the charming kitchen and appreciated the full bathrooms on every level. The host (Thorn) communicated well with us prior to our trip, which really helped with my planning. Thanks for sharing your home with us so we could make some beautiful memories!

We loved our stay at the cabin! Thorn was wonderful, he provided us with so much information ahead of time with must sees and recommendations on food/stops. I highly recommend this place.

The cabin was beautiful and well equipped! It had everything you could want for a vacation. The owner was very nice and you could tell there was a lot of care put into the property. Our main goal was to visit Yosemite and the property is only a few minutes to the gate. However, once in the gate it is about an hour drive through the mountains to the more popular attractions of Yosemite. Would definitely book the cabin again, but if we want to visit Yosemite I think we will stay inside the park.

We loved our stay at the Half-Dome Hideaway! We all had our own bedrooms and bathrooms, and the location was so close to the south Yosemite entrance. It took about 5 minutes to get there, and then Mariposa is right after that. We were also very close to the Tenaya Resort and the Yosemite Trails horseback riding. You really wouldn't even need to go into Yosemite to find fun things to do!
This home was fully-appointed, clean, quiet, and comfortable. Highly recommend!

We stayed at Thorn and Anne's place for 4 nights / 5 days for a Yosemite trip.
Location: very convenient, only 6 minutes from the south entrance and there is a corner store just down the street. We did the Sugar Pine train ride which was also about 5-10 min from the house.
House: one room/bathroom /floor, which was great for 3 couples. Plenty of entertainment like a piano, pool table, puzzle, and open kitchen and living room. The back deck was especially nice.
But the main reason for the 10/10 would be the host communication. Not only were they prompt and attentive communicators, they went above and beyond, such as ensuring we had the right park pass, reserved time into Yosemite, detailed instructions on the driveway. If they had additional properties, i would stay there too!

The on-line description is dead accurate. The cabin is spacious and clean. 3 ample size bedrooms each with full baths on separate floors. Great water pressure in the showers with almost instant hot water. Kitchen is fully equipped, with a gas grill outside. The only utensil missing was a metal spatula for the outside grill. We did not melt the plastic one...The driveway is very steep up to the property and we parked the car at the bottom after the first day as the engine strained to make it up the driveway. This was not a big issue for us. Convenient location to the South entrance and located right next to the general store in Fish Camp. So if you needed anything, it is only a 3 minute walk to the store. Highly recommended.

The place was as described and was very nice. It was very clean, cozy, and conveniently located. The hosts were great to interact with, and their communication was prompt and clear. The well-maintained EV charger was very convenient. Would definitely rebook and recommend!

This property is in a great location, very spacious, incredibly clean and well equipped with everything you need to have a great time in the park. The owner is very helpful and made great suggestions regarding park, sights & where to eat. My mother-in-law was with us and using a walker on the first floor was no issue. There is a bedroom & bathroom with access to the kitchen & living room at this level. Thanks again for a great stay.

Multi-generational family group in the area for a wedding at Tenaya Lodge. The owner was a wellspring of information about the house and the Yosemite area, super helpful. The house is clean and comfortable for a family group. We had everything we needed and the owners were accessable. The only additional feedback I have is that the driveway of this property is VERY steep. Not an issue for most folks, but we were a bit concerned about our 80+ yo mother and aunt navigating the space. Also, guests with multiple cars may require some effort to get organized for parking. Overall, a lovely stay!

Best outcome during a difficult time
Unfortunately, our stay was marred by a wildfire in Yosemite. Thorn went above and beyond to answer our questions. He gave us excellent, thorough information about the area, and gave great directions and information about the park itself! We did end up canceling the trip a a result of the wildfire. and Thorn made that process as easy as possible. We will definitely be back when things aren't on fire!

Excellent Help in Difficult Time
From the minute I booked the property to the day of my arrival, Thorn and Anne went above and beyond with communication. First, I was provided very detailed information about how to access the best areas of Yosemite and when and how to get my reservation pass. The property owners checked in with me periodically leading up to my trip. Unfortunately on the day of my arrival, wildfires made accessing the cabin impossible. Thorn and Anne were so great at helping me navigate the cancellation process when they clearly had bigger issues to deal with as the fire was very close to their property. I will definitely book with them on my next trip to Yosemite.

Wired to perfection
Our stay was amazing. Thorn and Anne are excellent hosts. They provided many recommendations for activities and made sure we had our permits in hand well ahead of season. The location was great. It was especially conducive to visits to mariposa Grove and the falls in Wawona. The house was thoughtfully stocked and expertly wired. The host is a master electrician and it shows. This is the best rental house we have ever stayed in. The host even responded afterward and personally located a pair of lost earbuds.

Home ‘away from home’ in Yosemite
This home was amazing and stocked with everything we could possibly want or need. I loved the privacy of the extra bedroom in the basement, as well as having the loft for the kids. My parents were able to have the master bedroom and bath on the main floor and we all had our own bathroom which was so convenient! Deer literally resided outside their back door. We would see them each morning we were there. The details that were provided by Thorn and Anne were so useful and appreciated and they were such great hosts in how they checked in on is to make sure we were settled in the first couple of days. One of my favorite parts of the park were the sequoias and their home was literally within 3 miles of them. The general store located just outside of their neighborhood served to be extremely useful, as well! We made several visits! I will definitely be looking to stay in this home again the next time I visit Yosemite!! Thank you Anne and Thorn!

Beautiful Yosemite retreat
This is a beautiful house with an ideal location just outside Yosemite's entrance. Thorn was incredibly helpful throughout our entire trip planning process including details on the property and suggestions on what to do in the park. It is spacious and had everything we wanted for relaxing and fun before and after our days in Yosemite. I highly recommend this property.

Highly recommend and we will be back. =)

Half Dome
This place was great for our quick trip to Yosemite. We were just a few miles from the entrance gate on Hwy 41. The accommodations worked well for us since there was just the four of us and the house could easily sleep eight. Our bed was comfortable and each bedroom had a tv if that is important. The house has 3 levels to it so there are stairs to climb. Main level has the kitchen, living room, bedroom and a bathroom. The upper level is a bedroom (2 beds) and bathroom while the lower level has a gameroom, bedroom (2 beds) and a bathroom. Communication with the owners was excellent. We enjoyed our stay. Note....the driveway is steep.

Great home base for Yosemite!
We had an excellent fall getaway in Yosemite with the Half Dome Hideaway as our home base! It was exactly as advertised, super clean, and well located at the South entrance to the park. Thorn and Anne were attentive and made the stay easy. The wifi is strong enough we were even able to videoconference into work one day. Overall, a great time!

Great place near Yosemite entrance
This property was perfect for my family of 6, including 4 teenaged boys. Very close to South Yosemite entrance near Mariposa Grove.
Pool table on lower level was great. Adequate sleeping space and number of bathrooms helped a lot.
Drive is a bit steep. We had a sprinter van and decided to park at the bottom of the drive because we couldn't turn it around at the top. Quiet, safe area.

Excellent Proximity to Wawona park entrance
My friends and I had such a great time staying at the half-dome hideaway. Thorne is a great communicator who gave us excellent recommendations for the area, and made sure that we had everything we could want or need during our stay. The location was perfect - Wawona and the entrance to Yosemite was just down the road! It also isn't far from Oakhurst where there are lots of stores and good restaurants, so you get the best of both worlds. The kitchen was clean and well equipped, and there was plenty of seating in the living room for social time and board games. I would absolutely stay here again.

I need more stars!
This property is fantastic. The house is huge, so there are multiple options for sleeping arrangements and for hanging out, from down in the game area, to the outdoor patio, to the cozy living room, which is full of games, books, and thoughtful folders full of ideas for activities in the area. The kitchen is very well equipped and clean. The location was incredible for visiting Yosemite - just minutes from the gate, and you are in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. Oakhurst had lots of options for food/groceries. The most outstanding feature of this house is the communication with the host. I have rented lots of homes, and I have never had the level of engagement that I did with these hosts. (and not at all in an obtrusive way) I felt so welcomed and really well informed about the home and activities in the area. The day we were traveling to the home, there was a nearby fire, and they texted me updates throughout the day as to the best routes and the fire situation in the area - it was above and beyond and really put my mind at ease, and fortunately turned out not to be an issue for our stay. This was really one of my favorite vacation rentals.

Yosemite 21
Beautiful! The property was lovely. We all enjoyed our stay. Just what we were looking for. It is everything Thorn and Anne said it would be. It is added to our getaway list. The only exception is the WiFi signal was week. We were unable to watch 📺 in the upstairs bedroom, livingroom, and downstairs game room. Not sure about kitchen, never turned it on. Only 2 tv's got reception, master bedroom and downstairs bedroom. Maybe next time. Additionally, upstairs bathroom shower did nt drain. By the time you finished your shower you were in a tub of water. But easy fix before next tenets. Overall A+ EXCELLENT!!! Highly recommended 👌

VERY nice
Thorn and Anne are very accommodating and helpful hosts. They went above and beyond to adjust the rental dates to our travel schedule. Thorn always stayed in contact to make sure we have all the information we need. This was invaluable as we prepared for our trip to Yosemite.
The house is surrounded by pine trees, which give the air an incredible scent. Inside, the floor plan is spacious with a nice layout and a high ceiling. The décor is wooden with cues that you would expect from a forest cabin. There are three levels. The top one is a loft. Keep in mind there are stairs if you travel with small children or folks with limited mobility.
The house is very well equipped and has everything for a comfortable stay. The game room is a special treat.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and had a great time at Thorn and Anne’s.

Excellent property!
Thorn and Anne are great hosts who ensured our stay at their property was amazing! They communicated from the very onset, of us booking trip to us checking out.
The property itself is super cozy, comfortable and modern with all amenities. Every single detail within the property has been thought through to make sure it caters to the various needs that a guest may have. Our two young girls 9 & 6 enjoyed the property and felt very much at home, so much so that they didn’t want to leave!
All the best Thorne and Anne till our paths cross again!!
