King Bed, Pool, Foosball, Arcades, Beautiful!

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 70 reviews6 days ago

Amazing Home. From the interior design, to the cozy backyard hammock, this place is a 5-star home. Little things you would never imagine, like eucalyptus in one of the showers. I'm already looking at their calendar for future stays. Stores and restaurants only 2 min away - great location. Easy drive right off the highway. The pictures are nice, but the energy you feel upon entering is something few images can capture. Great communication. Host went above and beyond to help make our trip one for the books. I've been doing airbnb for a long time, both as a guest and superhost, and I can say this is one of the best stays and host experiences.

Inside Park Gate! 2 King Beds, No Stairs to Entry

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 213 reviews3 weeks ago

This home was so cute and pretty. We stayed for 4 days 3 nights; it was well worth it! Close to the Yosemite Village (about 16 miles). The house was very clean and had all the amenities mentioned in the description. The check-in and check-out instructions were very clear. Holly really kept us informed of what's going on in the park, which is greatly appreciated! I would highly recommend this place! :)

Wimberly Cottage @ Red Rooster Ranch

5 out of 5 average rating, 541 reviews3 days ago

When I found this gem online, there were over 500 - 5-star reviews so I had to book! When we arrived, we could absolutely see why. The grounds are beautiful with lovely landscaping, multiple sitting areas to enjoy and charming lighting throughout the landscaping to enjoy on nice evenings. Inside the cottage, Bill and Paul did not spare a single detail - from a very comfortable bed with super soft linens, to a fully stocked kitchen with multiple treats, drinks and fresh baked goods, to very thoughtful touches throughout the place. Everything was in pristine condition and very clean. The location is perfect for a short walk into town or up the hill to Ironstone Vineyards. If you're considering a visit to Murphys, don't think twice about booking this cottage. We will definitely be returning!

I've been to countless Airbnbs, and I was very impressed by this listing. Abril's home was absolutely perfect for my family and I + She was able to accommodate us very last minute. Her home was cozy, clean and perfect if you have small kids. She was very responsive throughout our time there. Thank you, Abril! We very much enjoyed our stay.

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 295 reviews1 week ago

The beach was amazing, especially being able to walk out the door and only take a few steps to get there. The snack shop is limited but had some staples so it was definitely nice to bring some easy meals and we cooked most of them there. My had some basics there that made cooking easier (salt, oil, etc). Our two teenagers enjoyed having their own full bed. Stay here - great deal for a clean space.

Theory of Color: A Sensory Retreat

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 278 reviews1 week ago

We stayed here for about a week and loved it! The place was spotless when we arrived and looked exactly like the pictures (maybe even slightly larger than the pictures make it seem!). The location is quiet and super walkable. We loved our daily walks to Verve for coffee. Note there is no door on the office room, but we made the space work for us with two people WFH by utilizing the outdoor space quite a bit.

Beautiful Mountain Escape Near Village - Sleeps 6

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 112 reviews5 days ago

We had a great stay in Mammoth! The condo was walking distance to the Village and easy access to the Village Gondola to get to Canyon Lodge. We were also walking distance to several restaurants. We ended up renting a locker at Canyon so we didn't need to haul our skis every day, and that was worth it for the week. Cameron was super responsive and we felt the listing matched what we saw when we stayed. Definitely recommend!!
