The property was great for our high school classmate reunion: plenty of space to cook, socialize and enjoy the surroundings. The house was well-equipped for gatherings like ours (10 guests). We're already talking about scheduling another trip there next year.

I booked this trip for my family (9 adults and 3 kids) to go see Yosemite. In the run up to our trip, California was hit with record storms and Yosemite was closed and the property was damaged. Liza, the property manager was exceptionally communicative, letting us know well in advance the extent of the damage and how it could effect our trip. Liza and the property caretaker worked hard in the days leading up to our trip to resolve all of the damage issues and gave frequent updates on the progress, including offering to let us reschedule or cancel. Check-in and check-out were extremely easy, the property is immaculate, and the views are astonishing! The house is exceptionally well stocked with amenities from firewood, to puzzles, board games, and books, to the most well outfitted kitchen I have seen in a rental property. The kids brought snow gear and spent every minute they could sledding down the rapidly melting snow and Liza was able to give advice on where they could go to find more snow as well as additional hiking options with Yosemite closed. Liza really did everything she could to make our stay special. My only complaint is that we want to go back and it's hard to find a free weekend given the properties popularity. A huge thank you to the folks that make Liliskag so special!

Magical view, cute indoor and outdoor spaces, very nice ambiance. I will defiantly be back. Communication was smooth, Liza was very responsive. you get full privacy, no other close properties near the lodge, surrounded in beautiful nature.

This was the third time we gathered our clan at Lillaskog for a Holiday get together. As usual, all had a great time. I highly recommend this place if you need a large clan to gather and it has a great view. The hosts go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The only very slight negative is we had to wait 10 minutes to get into the house as they were finishing cleaning. On the other hand, it was Christmas Day and we understand that everyone was with their family in the morning. We will be back -- again!

Liza was very communicative and helpful in planning the trip. They clearly put lots of care into the property. The living space is cozy with great views, the aesthetic is pleasant, and there’s ample space for a large group. Definitely recommend.

Rental process was perfect from start to finish. The cabin was clean, organized and extremely well stocked to entertain a large group. The location was perfect for enjoying Yosemite and the many other local hikes and swimming holes. The cabin hosts took incredible care of us making sure we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to visit Lilliskog again. Thank you Liza, Tom and Scott!!

Lillaskog was perfect for our family. Plenty of space for everyone. Liza answered all of our questions as we were preparing for our trip. The kids enjoyed picking grapes and blackberries. Sunsets were beautiful. It was nice to have two sets of washers and dryers for our size of group. The kitchen was big and stocked with many essentials. Overall a great experience. It's all about making memories!

2 grand parents, 4 married children, 9 grandchildren. 11 of the group climbed Half Dome. All 19 enjoyed the associated Tuolumne river whole day rafting trip. Yosemite access is close by. Swimming holes nearby. Management removes garbage daily. Beautiful views. Adequate housing for all of us. Kitchen is the best supplied of any VRBO that we have attended. Would definitely return to this property the next time we vacation at Yosemite.

Great location, ample bedrooms, photogenic locations

The views from the deck were fantastic. The house made our annual family vacation fun and easy. Big spacious kitchen, multiple places to dine, great living room for everyone to visit and everyone had their own bedroom. Only suggestion would be an upgrade on the bathrooms.

We had a great stay Lillaskog lodge. The place fit our large group perfectly. It had everything we needed and was a short drive to Yosemite. The views are amazing and we spent the evenings watching the sunset over the mountains. The kids loved swimming at Rainbow pool which is only a mile down the road. Liza the owner was really nice and made everything so easy. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're visiting Yosemite or just want a place for some peace and quiet.

This place is amazing and we had a really great stay at the lodge. We had 14 people ages from 2 - 70 and everyone stayed comfortable the entire time. Access to the park as well as many other areas for fishing, hiking, etc were all great for our purposes. We plan to make this an annual tradition and hope the lodge will be our go-to spot.

Large, cozy, and beautiful cabin on a very isolated and very large property with front courtyard area that is located on a hill with virtually no neighbors. Views were outstanding. Owner was very friendly and easy to work with. Hope to come here for many years to come

The views were beautiful. Lots of games for our family to play together. Rainbow Pools hike was perfect for our whole family.

The property was perfect for our family Christmas get together. It was the ideal size for our large group and Diane could not have been more accommodating for anything we needed. I would recommend this beautiful lodge with amazing views to any large group(or small) that would like to feel like you are in the wilderness with spectacular views, while only being 12 miles from a town where you could find whatever you need.

The Lodge checked all the boxes. It comfortably accommodated all of our 20+ family (including handicapped accessibility).

We enjoyed the stay and its a big house. Kids has lots of games to play. Be prepared that there is limited or no Mobile network range and Wi-Fi is not reliable because of the location. Diane is very responsive and got all answered on time. We had a broken dish washer when we arrived - even though Diane informed us of this it took some of our time and effort in cleaning.

A beautiful house with a heart-warming story situated in a stunning location. We booked this place for a weekend retreat/team-building get-away with our colleagues. Lillaskog comfortably housed 22 people with some sharing Queen/King beds and others using cots (various sizes). There was plenty of space both inside and outside for us to do our planned activities. The views were incredible (even with the slight smokiness during our weekend there). Diane was incredibly responsive to my questions, some of which were last minute. One of us left a jacket there and she even went out of her way to mail it back! Overall, we had a fantastic time, made unforgettable memories, and hope to be back in the future!

This home was perfect for our large family. It was kid friendly. We had plenty of space for sleeping, cooking and relaxing. The grounds are spectacular and the view too beautiful for words. We still cannot get over the stars and sunsets. We were conveniently located to Yosemite. Diane always made herself available and was very helpful. We lost power for several hours due to a fire threat, but they were well prepared and helped us manage with a generator for basic needs. The fruit trees and wildlife were an extra bonus. I would highly recommend this property. Thank you for a great stay!

The Lillaskog Lodge was perfect for our family gathering. We were able to accommodate everyone with all the right amenities in a warm and cozy home-like setting.

This property is as beautiful as the pictures, inside and out. We happened to go during a heat wave, and those members of our family who stayed in Mono, Tioga, Bodie and the Bonus room were very unhappy that their rooms had no A/C. The great room and kitchen are large and the swamp cooler in the corner didn't cut it. The thermostat in the great room never got below 82 degrees and with the ovens on in the kitchen, I am sure it was close to 90 there. A mouse played peek a boo with us under the bathroom door in El Capitan, the area rugs in the living area need a good shampooing, of the 3 BBQ s available only one worked properly. The side by side refrigerator is defective, doesn't make ice and the panel between the refrigerator and freezer is so hot you can't touch it. Of the two ovens in the kitchen, only one would reach 450 degrees. The dryer in the utility room takes forever and the outside washer's water hoses are switched, so if you want to wash with cold water you have to set it to hot. The 3 maintenance men who take care of the property are so helpful, especially Scott. He always has a joke to make you smile if you are up early enough to catch him outside. There are abundant fruit trees and black berries on the property. The Rainbow Falls swimming hole a short drive from the lodge was our saving grace in the evenings to keep from sweating all night long in the house. The sunsets were an event for our group, with chairs lined up on the lawn waiting for that Kodak moment, always beautiful. The close proximity to the park gate was a nice plus, and we enjoyed outings to Jamestown, Columbia and Sonora. Lots to see! For the amount we paid, we felt that things should have been in top condition. and that just wasn't the case. But there are lots of good things about it too. It's hard to know what is going on at a property you don't live at unless the renters tell you, so that's my intention and to help the next guy be prepared for a few items that need improvement. Some split unit A/Cs in the lower bedrooms and another one in the great room would greatly help summer renters, but our understanding is that they are at the end of the power grid and there isn't enough electricity to support them. I hope this is helpful to someone.

Awesome place - awesome views! Graceland grocery store has a ton of selection for a smaller store. A/C in the lower level bedrooms would be nice - we did stay there on record hot days though!

Very large house with spectacular views which was stocked with everything we needed. The drive to the valley floor was 1 hour. The drive to the closest grocery store (Groveland) was 25 minutes and it had a full compliment of necessary supplies. Our group of 16 had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to choose from. We had a great tine at Lillaskog and at the park.

We enjoyed our stay and the beautiful view, the large, well equipped kitchen and the multiple BarBQs. Also very nice to all have a bathroom. The kids room was perfect!

We had a great experience. This is a great place for groups to be together.

Diane, was an amazing host. The location was beautiful and perfect for intimate wedding ceremony with immediate family.members. The views are amazing, and the pictures do not do this place justice. The property is stocked with everything you may need. Scott came up the next morning and started cleaning before we even had time too and he was a great help.

We came to Lillaskog to stay with our whole extended family for a trip to Yosemite. It was wonderful. There were plenty of beds and the kitchen was well stocked for a large group. The scenery was magical and everyone enjoyed their time here. The property manager and maintenance crew were attentive and always available for communication. Can't express enough how wonderful our stay was.

We had a great time staying at Lillaskog. The views were amazing and the large kitchen/dining area was great for accommodating our large group.

Loved the setting and the views! Kitchen was well-equipped and we had adequate room for families to sleep. Easy check in and exit. Closer to Yosemite than our previous stay in the south. Big great room for dining and playing cards.

We loved the place and made everyone feel happy. The views are amazing and everything about the house felt like home.

Great location for a family visit to Yosemite! Close to Yosemite but also close to great hikes at Rainbow Pool and the confluence of two forks of the Tuolumne River. The view from Lillaskog was amazing and there were great hikes right out the door. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The house could benefit from a deep clean between guests and some general updating (loud fridge, outdated bedding and rugs etc.). Those negatives were far outweighed by the great location, generous rooms, and comfortable common spaces. Would stay again!

The house is clean, rooms are very spacious , comfortable.and can accommodate large family. The view is fabulous and inspiring. Our teen angers barely used their phones except for taking pictures, even stayed late just to watch the sky and seen shooting stars. Though we visited Yosemite, it was the lodge and it’s surroundings that the adults and kids enjoyed the most. It was our home away from home. Thank you for sharing the house/ lodge with us. It has made a lasting memory to my family
