“Great place 💕”
We adored this little cabin. We had a lovely kitchen with a few items for breakfast which was nice. The facilities are cosy and close to Yosemite. Large supermarket to do our shopping for Yosemite and lunch items.

“Good value for money, close to Yosemite NP.”
The tent was decent, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The check-in process was straightforward and easy to complete in advance.

“Well equipped & Friendly base for Yosemite National Park - would highly recommend!”
The property was immaculate, lots of room and lovely touches with the hikers breakfast of granola, bananas, cereal bars replenished daily along with milk and orange juice - lots of lovely toiletries in the bathrooms too. What really made it for us was the genuinely friendly nature of everyone on site. We also took advantage of an Echo basecamp tour which we’d highly recommend.

“Great for the price we paid in the low season.”
It’s super spacious and comfortable. Nice authentic feel to it. Breakfast is good. Bath is great. WiFi was pretty good considering we were there in mega snow storm. Staff are nice.

The staff is really nice and helpful with any issue. The cabin is very clean and fully equipped – from kitchenware, dishwasher, oven, and barbecue grill, to even games like cards and more. There’s parking on site, the location is excellent, and overall, it was a fun and worthwhile stay!
