Our extended family of 10, ranging from 75 to 2, really enjoyed staying at this beautiful property in the woods of Yosemite West. We were cool and comfortable despite the heat, and a forest fire that filled the Valley with smoke had no impact on us in our lofty perch near Glacier Point. The house is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and serve family meals--condiments, spices, cooking oil, pots and pans, serving bowls, and more. The living room felt like an eagle's aerie with its soaring windows and beautiful decor. The master bath is especially well appointed, with a tub the size of a small swimming pool much enjoyed by the young ones at bath time. The older kids (and their parents!) were much impressed by the game room and had several enjoyable competitions there. I was happy just to sip the complimentary spritzer while lounging in a comfy chair gazing out the windows and admiring the occasional chipmunk. Definitely better than staying in Yosemite Valley!
