We enjoyed the cabin, it was a perfect amount of space for two adults and one teenager. The spacious deck was a plus, we enjoyed some dinners out there once it cooled off in the evening. It took us about 45 minutes to drive to Yosemite Valley from the cabin, when there was no traffic. The reason I didn't give the cabin 5 stars is that some features seemed dated and like they could use some upgrading. For example, the furniture (chairs, couch, beds) while comfortable, seemed worn and in need of replacement. Also, the 2nd bathroom does not have a shower (only a whirlpool tub) which was a disappointment. Not all of the burners on the stove worked, which was a problem for making dinners. The people at the Redwoods Management office (right down the road) were very helpful and friendly, which was a plus. Also, the river is very accessible via a short walk from the cabin for hiking and relaxing. We also appreciated the well-stocked mini-market, a short drive from the cabin. We would stay here again if ever in the area.
