We very much enjoyed our stay at Friends Cottage. It was clean and comfortable. The property is a bit shabby and dated, especially the furnishings, but we enjoyed the location on the river, sitting on the large deck and the location within Yosemite National Park.

The home was spacious and well appointed. Particularly enjoyed the back deck with a view of the river. Plenty of outdoor chairs for all. Too bad the hot tub wasn't working , but I understand a part needed has been ordered.

This is a lovely, spacious home with room for everyone. The kitchen was well equipped, the view was lovely and the hot tub delighted my son-in-law and youngest granddaughter.

My family enjoyed our stay. A beautiful setting -looking out on a creek in back and in a forest . The house was very comfortable and nicely decorated. Within walking distance of some hiking trails. Would definitely stay here again.

The house is amazing! The bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. The extra fan in each room came in handy. The kitchen, family room and dining room are very spacious and accommodating for a large group. There were lots of things to do like the pool with inflatables and toys and a garage with a Pac-Man table and Foosball. In the garage the washer and dryer and PLENTY of towels were helpful. Everything was clean and I’m working order. It is in a great location with a shopping center with a Starbucks in walking distance. We had an amazing time, even left Disney early to hang out in the house. The only bad thing about the house was not being able to use it at night after coming home tired and hot from sightseeing. We recommend it 100%!

This cabin had almost everything we needed for our group of 8 adults and two children. There was plenty of room for us all to sit around the table for meals, lots of basic dishes (glasses/plates/bowls/etc.) and an assortment of kitchen dishes/pans. (missing a cookie sheet.) We did use the bbq on the deck and it worked great. Getting in and out to the deck was a challenge as the patio door was almost impossible to close. It really needs replacing. Thankfully you could go out the front door and walk around to the back to access the large deck. The jacuzzi was great after a day hiking. The bedrooms all smelled pretty bad, but opening the windows helped. Old carpet I guess. I did need more dish towels (there were 2) and someone came over quickly and gave us some hand towels that we could use. Before the trip when I emailed questions, the response was quick. It was a reasonable place to stay considering that you were inside the park and didn't have to wait in line. It is a block from the trailhead for Chilnualna falls which we hiked, so very handy. The local grocery store is just for basics (think gas station store with a few more fun things,) so get your groceries before you come in to the park.
