“The proximity to Yosemite's Arch Rock entrance is a clear advantage, placing guests quickly within the park's embrace. That private patio, complete with jacuzzi and fire pit, seals the deal for relaxed evenings. Though some kitchen equipment shows its age, a brand-new oven hints at ongoing improvements.”
