While the cabin, itself, was charming, both bathrooms had major plumbing issues: Sink drains were clogged, so we had to brush our teeth and wash hands/faces at the kitchen sink; the downstairs claw foot tub pipes sprayed water on the bathroom floor whenever used, making it inoperable during the stay; and the ceiling of the downstairs (master) bedroom, which was directly below the upstairs shower, leaked. We contacted our host immediately and in the following days of the visit but did not receive a response or assistance.

This is billed as "luxury" but I would question that. The main floor of the house is as pictured and is very nice. The bedroom is directly off living room which is odd but certainly ok. The bathroom sink is minute and there is no storage area. Also, the drain was totally clogged the entire time we were there and no one came to fix it, so had to brush teeth, etc. in kitchen. Also, there was a dryer full of towels and sheets upon arrival so had to fold all and put away. The upstairs bedrooms and baths were not used by us but we did look at them and they were a little creepy. Staircase going upstairs is extremely steep with no hand rail. Upstairs bathroom was basic. The deck surrounding main floor was not swept nor were there chairs for sitting. Upstairs deck also very messy and unkempt. Last but not least, on our final night we were visited by a mouse. The area is great and the house has tremendous potential. Needs better maintenance and some TLC.

While the location was convenient to Yosemite, the property has significant plumbing issues such that the sink and showers barely drain and even leaked after a very, very short shower (water on to get wet, water off to scrub, and water off to quickly rinse) through the ceiling into the bedroom below. Upon contacting the owner, there appeared to be no concern as if they were already aware - While I wouldn’t expect a place to be perfect, plumbing seems basic. Very disappointing experience and feeling misled. The place appears much nicer in photos. Wish I had not rented.

Unfortunately we came through quickly this time, but the cabin was a great place to rest after a long day of hiking and taking in Yosemite sites. We slept great on the beds!

Great communication with host and loved the location of the property.

The cabin was perfect for our family of four. Enjoyed being so close to the park entrance. We would definitely stay here again .

Perfect location. Easily accessible to Yosemite and Bass Lake and other sites in the area!

Great stay at John’s cabin, easy communication and super close to the parks south entrance. Recommend!

Great location for getting into and out of Yosemite. Relaxing and clean.

Our stay at John’s cabin in the fish camp was fantastic. It’s the perfect place from which to explore Yosemite. The cabin itself is well kitted out and clean. We spent evenings in the lounge playing cards in the lounge in front of the fire. Thanks for a great stay.

We absolutely loved the space. Very cool layout and super cozy. It wasn't too far from the park and really had everything we needed for our stay.

This is a very nicely appointed cabin, the photos are entirely accurate. It can comfortably sleep six, there are two queen beds upstairs and one queen bed downstairs. The kitchen has everything you could want. The internet worked great, and the TV worked well with streaming services. This cabin is in a quiet, forested neighborhood full of modern private cabins. The location is perfect -- it is only ~ 1/4 mile off of Highway 41, just far enough off the highway that you don't hear any road noise. There is a small general store, just down the road in Fish Camp. There are plenty of dining options within a 20 minute drive of this cabin. We chose to eat one night at Tenaya Lodge, one night at the Wawona Hotel, and one night at El Cid's in Oakhurst. There are also plenty of hiking options nearby. We highly recommend the hike at Chilnualna Falls near Wawona! And of course, all the amazing sights of Yosemite Valley are only an hour away. The cabin sits at an altitude of ~ 5000 feet, which works well for those who want to sleep and acclimatize to the altitude of Yosemite National Park - most of the hikes and other sights between the Yosemite South Gate and Yosemite Valley are at altitudes between 4000 and 7000 feet. Check-in and checkout were a breeze, John the owner was very prompt in providing us directions, advice, access codes, etc. Another great VRBO experience, we definitely hope to stay here again!

Walked into wonderfully cozy, spacious living room with comfortable furnishings and glowing fire. Set off towards Yosemite entrance (a few minutes drive away) and walked through the amazing giant sequoia grove for a few hours. Ate well in the nearby Embers restaurant, a short walk. Beds were comfortable. Good value.

Property was in a great location and we enjoyed our trip. The owner was very responsive.

A true mountain cabin for a trip to the mountains. Very cozy retreat after a long day of hiking. A great place to stay.

since this property was generally advertised as a 2 bedroom complete place I didn’t notice if John had changed it to a 1 bedroom. We were surprised and disappointed when we arrived. Had problems with the heat and were not able to contact John for a whole day. In spite of this I think this was a unique experience since other people seem very happy with John’s place. It is very attractive and the kitchen is well appointed.

This was the perfect mountain cabin for a very relaxing and comfortable stay. The inside is so nicely decorated with the mountain theme. We really enjoyed sitting outside on the deck after long mornings of hiking. The location is just miles from the Wawona entrance to Yosemite which makes it very convenient! We did not want to leave! John was very attentive to our needs and went out of his way to help make our stay better. Of all the times we have rented, I would say he has been the best if not one of the best that we have worked with! I highly recommend this beautiful mountain cabin!!

We had a great time renting this cabin. It had everything we needed to make us feel at home. Loved the fireplace.
