Wonderful and very well equipped house… short way to Glacier Point and to the village to see El Capitan… lived to cook in the kitchen and have breakfast in the morning… 5 star quality

We enjoyed our stay very much! The home is beautifully appointed, spacious, very clean, and very comfortable! The kitchen was well equipped, and it was such a luxury to have a washer and dryer. We found the location to be convenient, an easy drive into the Valley, and also to Glacier Point. We are so happy we were able to stay at Explorers Retreat, and we would definitely choose to stay there again!

Our unit was clean and well stocked with all the essentials 3 bedroom, 2 bath perfect for 7. Great location, about 20 minutes from Yosemite Valley. We called management for advice on an issue and they answered immediately

Everything was great. One little hiccup was that the code did not work to enter the house, but the main location was closely located and the problem addressed right away.

The only strange thing was that there was no shampoo. The internet was spotty but we were in Yosemite so that was expected. Otherwise we loved our stay!

The place is good, location is good, communication is great. The only issues we had were almost nonexistent Wi-Fi and downstairs fireplace not working properly.

Cabin was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The welcome phone call our first night was a nice surprise. We couldn’t get the upstairs fireplace to work. I wasn’t going to bother calling about it, but since someone called us, I mentioned it and someone came in minutes to fix it. The only thing was that we were never able to shut it off again even after turning all the switches to off. But it was fine and we didn’t bother calling again. We would definitely recommend this place and Scenic Wonders in general.

Very cozy charming place to stay. Location was great for us. We were by all the spots we wanted to hike - Mariposa Grove, Taft Point, Sentinel Dome, Glacier Point, and Yosemite Valley. Enjoyed the small details that were included like having coffee + hot chocolate + some basic seasonings and olive oil to cook with. Deck with the grill made dinners very enjoyable.

This house was very clean and comfortable! Perfectly located away from the crowds and 30 Mins to Glacier point, which has the most amazing views. See less check-in and everything in the house was functioning well. I would definitely choose Scenic Wonders on our next Yosemite trip!

Unit was very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment to do all our cooking. We needed the propane to be replaced, and it was done very promptly. My only suggestion would be 2 double beds instead of the bunk beds. Our family had a wonderful time. thank you.

Wonderful winter stay. Can’t beat being inside the national park with several feet of snow. Roads well plowed in the neighborhood. The house was super clean with comfortable beds. Flat driveway and easy keyless entry. Wifi was decent enough to email but not much more. Management was super responsive to bring us coffee filters since there were none in the unit. Well equipped kitchen. But few condiments. No shampoo. So Come supplied:) Will definitely stay again! Really enjoyed our stay here.

Great stay, but there were some very loud sounds at night from the downstairs queen bedroom. Something kept turning on and off for several hours. The generator was also really loud, but we're glad you had that when the power went out.

Explorers Retreat was very clean. When we needed more propane one evening, some was brought over in 5 minutes. The house is perfect for 3 people. The parking is great. The internet very good for Yosemite West. We had no problem contacting management with questions. Large refrigerator, nice kitchen. We brought all our own food, so we cooked every night. Having A/C was great after a hot hike. All three of us really enjoyed our stay.

The location ended up to be perfect for going in the various directions we wanted to go. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and neat. The info manual was very helpful, especially the laminated maps. I wish we had more time to explore the trails near the house.

The place was as advertised. Very clean, kitchen essentials complete including coffee brewer, hot chocolate etc. When there was a small problem with kitchen sink, scenic wonders team member arrived within minutes of call. Roads were kept clear of snow by team, with plow going through streets twice in the morning. Thank you for helping make our Yosemite vacation so memorable. Would stay here again.

Everything was great, clean and practical! Thanks. The place does get quite hot (upstairs) and it's not even summer... The fans are good, but anything else that could be done to improve that would make the place even better. Thanks. G.
