Yosemite's Four Seasons Vacation Rental

We stayed in the Trout Creek Lodge managed by Scenic Wonders for four nights in January. The house was about 25 minutes from the entrance to Yosemite and we also made a day trip to Sequoia National Park from the house as well. The house was large and could easily accommodate up to eight to ten adults comfortably. The house has a large outdoor deck and the house backs up to a scenic creek. The cable and internet at the house worked well throughout our stay. The house was outfitted with a large kitchen and all the cooking utensils we needed. The house had an outdoor grill that we used twice. The hosts provided coffee, tea, and other basic items such as salt, pepper, foil, and parchment paper. We loved the bed in the master bedroom and slept very comfortably throughout our stay. We did use th

We had the feeling that this place was owned and managed by a large corporation and that no one had actually done a quality control review of the place in a long time. ||Here are the positives:|- beautiful setting,|- clean (hat tip to the cleaning crew who did a great job),|- no hassles getting in - the pass code to open the door went smoothly.||Here are things that need improvement:|- It's a long drive to Yosemite Valley. We didn't realize how far we were going to be away from everything.|- One window in the bedroom didn't have any window coverings. Very difficult to sleep in a bright room.|- Kitchen - dishwasher was mangled, oven fan didn't work, didn't have tongs for cooking.|- The steeply sloped driveway was icy and dangerous. The heat-traced gutters spill water out over the driveway t

We were her during the summer, and things went well. We came back for the Christmas holiday and although the cabin was good except for the hot tub (which never did work and the only reason we don't give it 5 stars), the staff was incredible. It snowed heavily while we were there and each morning, without asking, we awoke to cleared steps, driveways were plowed and our firewood was resupplied whenever we needed! Check in was fast (as opposed to the last time it took 15 minutes). I can't say enough about the support staff; I saw them pulling people out of snowbanks, putting on chains for people... KUDOS! It really made a difference. Everyone was pleasant, VERY helpful and could not have been more friendly! I cannot account for previous reviews, but there has definitely been a change in the l

Wonderful! Travelling from the UK for the trip of a lifetime, we spend 3 nights in Yosemite at the start of August with friends from San Francisco - 4 adults, 4 kids.||||I'd left it until March to book anything but was able to find Bird's Eye Vista, operated by Yosemite Scenic Wonders, and I'm so glad I did.||||The photos on their website really do not do the place justice, and I'd suggest to Scenic Wonders that they take some new ones. It has three lovely bedrooms, plus a 'spare bedroom/living room', three bathrooms and and a huge living / kitchen / dining area with high ceilings and all the comforts you need. Plenty of cooking utensils, loo roll, toiletries, towels, etc for 8 of us. No wi-fi, but that was actually a bonus in my book. And spotlessly clean throughout.||||All the windows ha

Had the pleasure of staying at Rockypoint Cabin and must say the pictures pale in comparison to the real deal! The rooms all have beautiful views and are well appointed. The home is very clean, with a well stocked kitchen,comfy sheets and linens and it is obvious that the owner has taken the time to decorate it lovingly and with great attention to detail. The landscaping is beautiful and minimal so as not to distract from the beauty all around you. I'm so glad I was able to visit at a time when the waterfalls were ferocious! Thank you Lynda and Holly for the opportunity! The beautiful fresh flowers throughout the home was an added way to make us feel special.
