    The wifi was virtually unusable. We weren’t planning to use it much but given there was no mobile phone reception, it would have been nice to have some internet access for checking weather, planning the next days adventures etc.

    Location was perfect and the kitchen was well equipped. The studio was quite spacious for 2 and the layout was perfectly cozy as the snow fell outside.

    Sofa bed hadn't been cleaned, some dust on furnitures. Could have been specified where 'Studio B' was located as we didn't know it was 2 places attached on the same house. Wifi is very difficult

    Very nice location, nice lodging with furnitures in the kitchen + washroom. 2 beds available (1 queen + 1 sofa bed)

    Technically it's an in-law unit adjacent to the larger house. You can hear some noises from the guests in the main house, as well as when they use the bathroom. We encountered some hiccups during our stay, although hosts were responsive and found solutions quite fast.

    Great location if you're visiting Badger pass in the winter or same area during the summer. The hosts are very responsive and will answer your questions very fast. We did encounter some hiccups, but the hosts helped us resolve them fast despite the late hour. Hosts/managers also seem to listen to the feedback here so some of the problems that were mentioned in previous comments have been addressed. The room does not lack heating.

    Other reviews provided accurate information - expect to shovel a fair amount of snow to get into the room, there is a problem with the thermostat/ it is very warm, it is a bit noisy from dripping/indeterminate sounds during the night from the ceiling.

    Great location in the park. This is a rare benefit and made the stay and other minor inconveniences worth it. Kitchen was well equipped. You are in a national park - who cares about streaming videos or fast wifi? Bring a book, go to bed early, and get out there to enjoy the day.

    some of the utilities are broken, like the tap. entrance wasn’t cleared from snow, initially I couldn’t understand where is the entrance because of that. and afterwards it was inconvenient to unload.

    the apartment is really warm including the bathroom. for some reasons it’s a rare thing in this area in winter time. location is great and beautiful too! note that likely need chains

    It would have been nice if someone had shoveled a path to the doorway for us. We had to walk through about 1.5 ft (deep) of snow with all of our luggage to get to the front door. It was mostly very clean but there was a wad of hair on the living room floor and a leak in the ceiling. It was also REALLY hot, which was nice to come home to after a long hike in the snow, but hard to sleep in. We found it hard to get the temperature down so that we could sleep.

    It was cozy and we had pretty much everything we needed right there. The driveway was plowed so we could park our car, which is an improvement from another time we stayed here in the "A" unit and we had nowhere to park because no one had taken care of the mound of snow in the driveway. Everything was working well (showers, kitchen, etc). When I couldn't get into the frozen dumpster, the hosts were very gracious about me leaving the trash in the unit. Checkout time is pretty generous at 11am. The location is great. Loved that we got to stay in the park. There's a dishwasher and a fairly well-stocked kitchen. My husband didn't think the bed was comfy, but I thought it was fine.

    Would have been nice to have a welcome folder or binder with exact info regarding how to operate fans, lighting, TV, what switches operate what light, host contact phone number. That number was in the front entry way over the door. Never noticed it. Only had 3 dinner size plates. Would have been nice to have 2 complete towel sets ie wash cloth, hand towel and bath towel. No kitchen towels until we requested them. No privacy in front patio. Maybe a gate would help. Parking shared with main house so could have gotten blocked in.

    Location, view.

    Lots of creaking and noise if there are tenants in the upstairs property.

    Good location (around 30mins from the Valley), clean, well-equipped kitchen and bathroom (had all the necessities - really enjoyed and appreciated this), powerful air-conditioning, great tv, nice grill outside for barbeque. Owner was very quick at responding to an issue I encountered.

    Im not saying it's that bad but trying to use the shower for the first time was a bit confusing. Also one thing is that the wifi was very slow, and it was needed since we had no connection whatsoever. Driving up the driveway while ice was a bit tricky/dangerous. Also there was a bit of confusion as there were other people staying in the housing on the other side and parking had to be arranged between both parties.

    The setup was great, loved that all the kitchen utensils and basic ingredients were laid out. Heaters worked really well and there was nothing wrong with cooking. The TV had Netflix and such so it was nice and cozy to watch. The bathroom was nice and it included towels, soap, etc., we just had to watch the step when exiting it.

    Upstairs unit can be a little loud with creaking floor. Linoleum in kitchen could use a deep clean.

    Great place with just what you need. No need for reservation to park as your proof of stay gets you into the park. Easy beautiful drive into the Yosemite Valley. Had a very pleasant stay!
