I would describe the house as, “adequate, and in need of a little TLC.”
It is about a 30 or so minute drive into Yosemite Valley, where many of the sights to take in are. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking with about anything you’d need to cook and serve multiple guests. Take all of your own food, spices, oils, coffee, tea, or anything else you’ll need to cook.
The gas grill on the porch was good to use and eating out there was nice. The sky at night was perfectly clear and so dark that you could see the Milky Way galaxy.
The furniture and rugs on top of the carpet are all dated. The rug in the living area by the door outside was dirty and dusty. The living room rug buckles up and is a tripping hazard. Dust flew up from the couch when you hit it with your hand. The door mat on the porch into the house looked decades old. Several windows won’t open and that makes flow-through ventilation impossible; no air conditioning (as advertised) and with a heat wave (97 degrees at the house) the house wasn’t cool in the day, but “manageable” I guess. I’m not sure my wife agreed though even with the fans.
The clothes dryer did not work and I sent text messages to the host as well as a housekeeper and never heard back. We had to hang the wet clothes on the balcony rail to dry.
The house met our needs as a place to sleep. Without updates, however, we would not stay here again.
