Our host Francis was amazing and very knowledgable of the area. It was a pleasure to meet him and an even greater pleasure to explore some of Yosemite park with him. The accomodations were comfortable and the view from the Sunrise Studio was incredible. We hope to return in the spring to take in the different seasons at Yosemite and to catch up with our great host.Markus2016-09-07T00:00:00Z
The studio was a stunning, comfortable and convenient base for exploring Yosemite. We enjoyed the novelty of having a shower by sunset, and it was great to be able to cook our own food in the well equipped kitchen too. Only regret is that we couldn't stay longer - but that's for next time!Eve2016-08-31T00:00:00Z
Un endroit magnifique en pleine nature au sommet d'une colline avec une vue superbe, la douche ****. Le lieu est rustique (toilettes sèches, très propres ), le studio est très bien fait et cosy. Le réfrigérateur du studio était en panne mais Francis nous a dépanné avec celui de la cuisine et tout s'est bien passé. Francis est très sympathique et connaisseur de la région, il nous a donné plein de bons conseils pour visiter le parc du Yosémite en évitant la trop grande foule. Francis est aussi ouvert aux échanges et nous avons pu partager d'excellents moments en sa compagnie.Marc 2016-09-12T00:00:00Z
Highly recommend! Mariuolumne Sunrise Studio is the perfect stay for a small group looking for a whimsical experience with nature (without fully camping). The studio is beautifully designed, built and kept. Waking up to the sunrise overlooking the valley was true magic. Francis was quick to respond to our questions regarding our stay. He graciously welcomed us quickly upon arriving. His generous accommodations to welcome us were so appreciated. Francis recommended hiking and local events that we so enjoyed. We spent three nights of our honeymoon at Sunrise Studio and wished we had spent the entire trip there. A peaceful, calm, intimate retreat we are so grateful to have experienced.Ar2016-07-26T00:00:00Z
Fantastic micro cabin on the hillside about an hour from Yosemite. The cabin is small but was more than adequate for our needs. The views were amazing and we were out of the way of Yosemite crowds. Highly recommend this place for anyone who likes the outdoors and doesn't need fancy accommodation.Alana2016-09-21T00:00:00Z
Mariuolumne was the peaceful rustic retreat my husband and I needed for a few days. Francis is a great host and offers some really good advice on hikes around Yosemite. He also graciously lent is his air compressor when we woke up to a flat tire! The outdoor shower was the true highlight of the trip!Leslie2016-09-30T00:00:00Z
We could not have loved the studio more. Were left to our privacy in the most beautiful setting. It was a magical and intimate start to our babymoon! The outdoor shower was such a treat.Riah2016-07-23T00:00:00Z
We had a great time at sunrise studio. Francis was very welcoming and showed us around when we arrived. The space was bigger than I pictured in my mind and had everything we needed including and incredible view! It was the perfect stay for our weekend at Yosemite!!Karissa2016-06-04T00:00:00Z

Really beautiful house and Sheri is very niceTING2017-03-27T00:00:00Z
This spot was beautiful, extremely neat and tidy, and in a prime location. The complementary wine and chocolate immediately won our hearts, the moment we walked in. Sherri was available if we had any questions or concerns, and responded quickly to our messages. We Loved it!Clara2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
It was great to meet Sheeri and her husband. They are very helpful and super-nice. I will definitely come back to this property.Rajat2017-04-08T00:00:00Z
Sheri's house is wonderful and spacious. We had a great time, unfortunately road 120 was still closed, so instead of a 40 minutes drive to Yosemite Valley its 2,3h going down an extremely curvy road. The ride is really annoying, so i would definitely not stay here again to visit Yosemite valley. I guess its better once Tioga Rd opens up again in May. Definitely check back on Yosemite homepage what roads are open (URL HIDDEN) ! Sheri was really helpful and kept asking, if we needed anything! Pay attention, there is an additional parking fee of 27$ that has to be payed at the gate! I would recommend staying here, even with a family in the summertime to hang out at the lake. Once 120 opens up again, or Tioga Rd this is definitely the place to be. Hwy 120 towards the park is a wonderful straight and wide road and its a quick ride. As long as the road is still closed i would not recommend staying here if Yosemite is your main destination. (definitely really sorry to be saying that!)Sylke2017-03-21T00:00:00Z
Sheri was a fantastic host! The house is cozily tucked in a quiet community with a soft rush of a creek nearby. Tons of space! I lost count of how many porches there were, and oh my god there's a double shower in the upstairs rooms - total bliss. Would absolutely recommend staying here!Rob2017-02-23T00:00:00Z
Sheri is a wonderful host. She's put a lot of love into furnishing her rental unit. The setting is beautiful, and we had everything we needed since we make all our own meals. It's also very, very quiet. Close to Yosemite when 120 is open (it was closed while we were here, due to landslides). We talked to Sheri frequently, and she was always upbeat and willing to help in any way possible. She was also very accommodating about changes in plans. Groveland is quaint and cute. Plenty of places to eat - the Mexican restaurant is a particular favorite (and the tea room a few doors down). This is the last stop before you enter Yosemite park. Pine Mountain Lake is gorgeous. If you rent here, you will want to move up here! The allure is irresistible...Walter2017-03-06T00:00:00Z
This house has everything you have at your home, no need to over pack and the grocery store is around the corner as well as the pizzeria and the bar!Josefina 2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Bill's studio was, in a word, perfect. Our travel group consisted of my husband, myself (six months pregnant), our daughter (8 months old) and our two big dogs. There was plenty of room for our pack and play as well as the two pups. Beyond having enough space, the place was SPOTLESS. I was blown away by how clean Bill's housekeeping folks were able to leave this house in the woods! Comfortable bed, directv, full kitchen and great shower. We will always treasure our memories of stargazing from the two person hammock out back - the surrounding area has no/low light restrictions so the night sky is remarkable, we even saw a few bright shooting stars. Playing darts on the deck's great board was another highlight and super addicting. Bill himself certainly qualifies as a super host. Extremely communicative and helpful when needed, but otherwise gives you space to enjoy your time away. He gave us good recommendations for easy hikes in the area as I'm unable to strain myself too much in my current state. He also has thought of everything to make his guests' stay more enjoyable, from games (even Cards Against Humanity!) to the smores waiting for you upon your arrival. In short, we would have considered it a fabulous, relaxing two night getaway if we'd stayed in Bill's place the entire time. But we spent a full day in Yosemite Valley as well (which was about an 80 minute drive one-way) and of course also fabulous. Highly recommend staying at Bill's place - he never rents out both the larger upstairs area and the studio at the same time, so there's plenty of privacy and room no matter what the size of your group is!Amanda 2016-09-27T00:00:00Z
Bill was a perfect host in all respects. He shared recommendations for Yosemite and local dining. Although a storm kept us indoors most the trip, Bill was thoughtful enough to make sure we were safe and enjoying our stay. The bungalow was extremely well maintained and provided more than enough space and amenities for my girlfriend, me, and our cat. The electric heater kept us warm and the extensive DVD collection upstairs came in handy. The best part was having our morning coffee from the private, covered balcony – what an amazing view! Bill – we can't thank you enough for your hospitality and we hope to return in the future to enjoy your wonderful home.Jon2017-01-08T00:00:00Z
William's bungalow was absolutely beautiful! Perfectly clean and very cozy - I wish we had spent more than one night here! It is located in a gated community (there is a $25 fee to enter) and has lovely dark skies and a very secluded feel while still being close enough to the Groveland community. Very close to Yosemite and many other Sierra destinations. We would love to come back here on our next Yosemite excursion!Madhuvanti2016-09-17T00:00:00Z
William's place is in a gated community which is very safe and calm. The studio is beautiful and very functional! Love the custom bed made by local artist and we had the best sleep ever. William is a great host that provides excellent recommendations. We surely want to come back again!weitung2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
Amazing view with a quiet location to be productive and romantic.Cameron2016-12-29T00:00:00Z
This was the best AirBnB rental that we've ever stayed at. From the views of the scenic mountainous back drop to all of the accommodations provided by Bill, this was a home run! Trust me when I say, the pictures of this place don't do it justice... you have to see it for yourself. Bill is an excellent communicator and really took the time to provide very detailed information in regards to all of the activities and points of interests in the area which made our lives very easy. We are already planning a return trip with friends and family. If you're looking for a cozy getaway packed with amenities for the entire family, I highly recommend "Bill's Oasis."Zach2017-03-21T00:00:00Z
My wife and I stayed here for part of our 5-year anniversary getaway. Lots of peace, quiet, and privacy. Perfect jumping off spot for Yosemite! Full Milky Way visible at night, too! Our host, Bill, went above and beyond to accommodate our every need & provided lots of suggestions for our trips into Yosemite. Very responsive to communication. A++ Would stay again!Gregory2016-09-03T00:00:00Z
The house was comfortable, luxurious, and a wonderful escape! The amenities and bed were very upscale and updated. The decor was nice and the view was excellent. A true mountain retreat. Bill was an incredible host that showed amazing customer service. He provided snacks and movies, left very detailed directions, helped with the planning process of hiking, and kept open lines of communication. One of the best hosts I've had since using Air BnB!Morgan2016-12-20T00:00:00Z

Breakfast are good (we enjoyed your croissants!), and last but not least John and Mary are very nice &welcoming persons, they made us feel home and gave very good tips to get the best out of our days in Yosemite. Thanks for the tme spent with you! P, J, S AND CSophie2015-08-07T00:00:00Z
It has been simply excellent. John contacted us before the stay to help us and to give good advices. We have been warmly welcome by John and Mary. The house was nice and furnished as described.JEAN-JACQUES2016-07-15T00:00:00Z
John and Mary were wonderful hosts! We got in late and they were waiting in the driveway to welcome us! Their home was lovely and exactly as described. The beds are big and cozy. The outdoor space is beautiful and the hot tub was a great treat. John and Mary brought us warm croissants in the morning and there was fruit and coffee for us also. It was a perfect little getaway in the mountains and we loved staying with them!Elyse2016-05-04T00:00:00Z
John and Mary weren't here but Michelle, their friend, made us feel right home. The place was exactly as described and beds very comfortable. We didn't get a chance to explore much Groveland as we mostly spent our time in Yosemite park but the area seems nice with a big lake and a Western style town.Delphine2015-09-12T00:00:00Z
This is hands down one of the best experiences I have ever had on airbnb. I'll only mention a few things I care the most, all of which were top here. The beds. Very comfortable. With the natural sounds outside the window in the mountain, we had good sleeps. The coffee. A high profile k cup machine with many good k cup options. The consideration of the host and hostess. Clear instruction in the welcome letter, and fast responses.Changning2016-05-18T00:00:00Z
John and Mary were just awesome. They guided us through getting in to the area, and gave us great tips for what to see at Yosemite nearby. We had a lot of things we had close to our hearts. I wish we could have visited longer.Paul2016-08-02T00:00:00Z
What a terrific weekend! John was in contact with me through email several times prior to our visit to be sure we had detailed driving directions and clear expectations for our adventure. The living accommodations were ideal for my group of four, offering privacy and comfort. We lit a fire in the wood stove to tame the chill in the air at night. We really enjoyed the hot tub just outside the back door of the bedroom too. My group was pleased by the close proximity to Yosemite. Hiking in the park was the focus of our trip. Thank you for a relaxing weekend. You made us feel right at home.Marvin2015-11-16T00:00:00Z

The house is great, and Marcus is very helpful! The house is 2-3 miles to a nearby grocery store, and the environment is good and quiet. But if you want to go to the Yosemite National Park, you need to check if the road is closed temporarily and may need to detour.Xi2017-03-14T00:00:00Z

This cabin is beautifully furnished, comfortably warm, and spacious with plenty of accommodations. The kitchen came with all the necessary pots, pans, skillets, etc. Very nice towels and comfortable bedding was provided for every guest! I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking into it! It's about 20 minutes away from Stanislaus Yosemite and the beautiful view of Vista Point. If you wanted to get into the actual heart of the valley of Yosemite, it's about a 1.5 hour drive. It's also really close to a historic old town that was fun to walk through. Plenty of deer everywhere too! Nice place, our group of 11 loved it.Yuliy2017-02-13T00:00:00Z
Marcus' cabin for above the pines #3 is such a fabulous place for family gatherings and large parties. We stayed here for a family getaway from the Bay Area to be closer to nature and for a visit to Yosemite and skiing/snowboarding in Pinecrest. Both were about an hour away from the cabin. Everything you need is at this house just bring whatever you want to eat! The grill outside is fantastic and we used it every night to fire up steaks and chicken breasts. Perfect! It's great to sit outside with great company grilling food, having a few beers, and having a blast! We were very comfortable with all the amenities the house has to offer. My family absolutely loved the towels and when we came back home we bought our own because it was that good! We felt at home here and stayed up late talking with one another, watching movies on the TV, and playing a few of the board games that are in the living room. Take advantage of the fireplace and burn some logs! There's another living upstairs with a bean bag and more couches and DVDs that you can set up a second base of relaxation. The house is in a very safe community with a lake nearby that in the summer provides a wide number of activities. We even saw a pack of deer swim across pretty close to us when we visited. Beds are super comfortable and you can warm up the entire house very easily using Nest. Marcus is a great host and he is readily available to help with recommendations and any features of the property. I would highly recommend Marcus' house for anyone wanting to get away from our daily grind and be extremely comfortable feeling at home. Marcus is a such a pleasure to work with. He wants to make sure you're taken care of and enjoying yourself. There's a binder on the living room table with tons of recommendations of activities and dining complete with trails, maps, and restaurant menus. Marcus really goes above and beyond to set himself apart from the rest of the Airbnbers and be in the higher echelon of great hosts! Thanks Marcus!Felix2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

Our stay at the haybale bungalow was a perfect start to our honeymoon! This was our first time using air bnb and it far exceeded our expectations. Ellie was quick to respond to our last minute booking and greeted us as we pulled into their property. The bungalow was just as pictured, cute and serene. This was the cleanest place out of any hotel I have ever stayed in. Which is a huge deal for me! The place was stocked with everything and anything you could want or need. The fresh sourdough bread, fresh apples, organic milk and dark chocolate hit the spot. Cody and Emmett were a pleasure to have as neighbors and greeted us in the morning. Ellie and Patricia's Haybale Bungalow is a little slice of paradise in beautiful Groveland.Ali2016-10-05T00:00:00Z
Ellie and Patricia are the most awesome hosts and make you feel at home from the start.

Dear Patricia and Ellie, we loved our stay in your cozy apartment! This was by far the most beautiful accomodation on our trip :) Everything was more than perfect!

Beds were ok, similar to sleeping on a futon. Kitchen was fully equipped and ready to prepare meals for a family. Laundry and both bathrooms were ready to go and a crib was there for our baby. We had to leave early because of an emergency and Aleksey even offered us a refund. This was a great deal and we would stay there again.Gerard2016-05-04T00:00:00Z
The house was perfect, everything described and more! We stayed so we could travel into Yosemite each day and the location was perfect, a little over an hour to get in which is as close as you can be outside of the campgrounds. Alexsey was a perfect host even leaving a tip sheet for us on where to go and what to do. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone planning a similar trip.Tom2016-07-22T00:00:00Z
Aleksey provided us with a great home to stay in during our trip to Yosemite. Each bedroom was stocked with bedsheets, blankets, and pillows; ample towels and toiletries in the bathroom. Great location, with the market just 1.5 miles away and only a 40 minute drive from Yosemite entrance. The only gripe I had was with the Wi-Fi - the house is listed to have wireless internet available, but none of the 6 of us were able to connect. Other than that, a relaxing place to stay. Thanks Aleksey!Jessica2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

This roomy, comfortable and clean house is close enough to town to grab supplies or dinner, while providing a peaceful setting to relax over morning coffee before heading out for a day of exploring Yosemite. We arrived late at night due to flight delays, so it was a real treat to find the makings of a hearty first morning's breakfast provided in the kitchen. Susan clearly communicated directions, and everything was as advertised, except that the photos really do not do justice to just how nice the setting is!Daniel2016-08-04T00:00:00Z
My family and I very much enjoyed our stay here. If you do plan on visiting, I would recommend reading her entire description of the place. There is no wifi nor cable. We watched movies when we got back from a long day of hiking. She has a very limited selection so bring your own! She also has some board games that would be great for little kids but not much for adults. Kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were all well stocked.Allison2016-09-01T00:00:00Z
The home is beautiful home. The pictures do not due justice. We were very impressed and surprised when we entered the home. The home was clean and spacious. Everything we needed to enjoy our stay was there. It felt like we were staying at a hotel, only better, because it was a private residence. Our Host left a bowl of treats for us -- which was very thoughtful of her. The wrap around porch allows for viewing the entire property -- very peaceful and tranquil. The surrounding property is gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.Lisa DeNunzio2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

My husband, friend and I were delighted with our accommodation during our 2 night visit to Yosemite- the room was comfortable and quirkily bear themed and only a quick drive to town or the national park. Tony and Erna were wonderfully hospitable and informative both before and during our stay. We thought it was great value for money and would definitely return if we were back in the area! Worth noting that phone signal and wifi is very low in the area, but that was fine for us as it added to the 'rat race' escapism.Heidi2015-07-17T00:00:00Z
The proximity to the Yosemite park is a real plus. The flat is well equiped and propose some nice information to prepare your visit in the park.Elodie2016-08-13T00:00:00Z
Tony and Erna's was as pictured and expected, everything was clean and tidy upon arrival. We didn't have much interaction with them, but they responded very quickly when we accidentally blew a fuse, and it was a good place to travel into Yosemite from. Thank you for a nice stay!Wendy2016-10-03T00:00:00Z
Much to my husband's dismay, the only bear he saw during our Yosemite Bucket List trip were the ones in the Bear Room. What a delightful, whimsical place to lay one's head after a long day in the park. Erna welcomed us like old friends and made us feel right at home (loved the little welcome plaque Erna). More genuine, kind hearted people than Erna and Tony I don't think you can find. Everything you could possibly need has been provided for you in the Bear Room and if something is missing, you need only ask. The bed is comfy, the bathroom clean, there are extra linens and towels. You can fix yourself a Continental breakfast with the coffee, tea, oatmeal and granola bars. There's a small fridge with freezer which was handy as we traveled with a cooler and could refreeze our ice packs at night. It's an hour's ride to Yosemite Valley and in the event that you haven't done your homework before your arrival, Erna has books full of information and vhs and dvd's about the park, as well as being a wealth of information herself. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Bear Room and should we ever pass this way again, we would love to call the Bear Room home. Thank you Erna and Tony. God Bless You.Stephanie2016-05-26T00:00:00Z
Tony and Erna were very warm and accommodating. The room was cozy and had everything we needed for our trip to Yosemite especially the guidebooks and some brochures. Best place to stay when visiting Yosemite, and its also very close to Groveland town- perfect place to see the old "wild west". Make sure to try the oldest Saloon in California - the Iron Door Saloon.Alex2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

David's home is a very comfortable place to stay for a small family. We have two children ages 2 and 4, and there were plenty of books and games for them to play with. The house was very clean and stocked with all the essentials we needed. Things like spices, sugar and oil were all available so we didn't need to start from scratch. The kitchen had everything you would most likely want to use while on vacation including a griddle, plenty of pots and pans, a kurig, etc. We would definitely stay here again.Daniel2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
Clean and nice place to stay in. The host is very nice and response quickly.Ahmad2016-08-19T00:00:00Z
We arrived late in the afternoon and instructions were perfect. The gate had been alerted to our arrival and we received our pass. It was so nice to sit on the deck in the morning and evening and watch the deer. The store David mentioned, which was down the street, had a great selection. We were very surprised at the extend of supplies. Our days were spent hiking at Yosemite and was easy to get to the park gate and Valley. We definitely would stay again. The house is perfect for three couples and includes lots of games and puzzles, a large kitchen with everything needed to cook. There is a lake on the property which is beautiful and down the street. Our first time with Airbnb and are so pleased. Thank you again David.Suzan Lynn2016-09-17T00:00:00Z
It was my first experience with airbnb and it was fantastic. Dave provided everything for us. The house was clean and located in a great area. You have about 1 hour drive to Yosemite valley. I wish I could stay there for one more day to explore the pine mountain area better. At first I tought that spending two days without the Internet should be hard, but I liked it. If you really need to have Internet connection, you can go to the marina and connect to the free wifi. Dave has several great board games, we spend couple of hours playing with them which was great. I highly recommend this place.Mahyar2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
The house is lovely and David is a great host. Highly recommended if you're spending a few days in the are : )kellie2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

We have a great timeMoncho2016-12-27T00:00:00Z
As soon as we saw the Airbnb listing for this house, we knew we needed to stay here. We were planning a 3-night weekend with three families and we wanted a large living space where all of us could play games together and hang out. This house had the perfect living space - huge windows, fireplace, oversized and comfortable leather couches, carpeting in all of the right places, and beautiful hardwood throughout. We loved that the kitchen, dining area, and living room were all one giant open space. It was easy to be social even while some of us were baking cookies and others were lounging. Tina (the owner) was amazing. She sent us instructions on how to get to the house in advance to make sure we were set up. When we experienced a heating issue, she sent a repair man to take care of it ASAP and even gave us a partial refund. [Note: other than this minor hiccup, the heating worked great during the weekend - very easy Nest dial to control the entire house.] It is obvious that Tina genuinely cares about house guests having a good experience and will respond to every question and need. The house is incredibly well stocked and we appreciated all of the amenities. Washer/dryer, microwave, dishwasher, etc. Three bathrooms so that even with three families it never felt crowded. The downstairs area with pool table and ping pong didn't get much use from us since our kids are all under 3, but older kids would love it. The location of the house right next to the lake is fantastic. Since we went in February, it was too cold to go out on the water, but we'd love to come back in the summer and give it a try. More generally, the location is convenient for Yosemite - we went there two days in a row and enjoyed the scenic drive both times. For those who like running, you can do some nice hilly loops close to the house. Most surprising thing: the loft bedroom. The pictures do not do it justice. It is a really cozy space with a great view of the living room. Most delightful thing: windows, windows everywhere! Even the "basement" with the game area has windows - no part of this house feels dark. :) Thanks so much for the wonderful stay, Tina! We'll be back.Ekaterina2017-02-20T00:00:00Z
Beautiful location on the lake - great house for families. Very calming and serene.Adi2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

My family and I had a wonderful visit to Pine Mountain Lake. The house was cozy and comfortable and the fireplace was a real treat. The view of the lake was amazing in the morning. This is a great retreat to get away and enjoy misty mornings and cold winter nights with the family.Michaele2017-01-16T00:00:00Z
We loved our time at this beautiful lake house, it is such pretty location right on the lake. The owner Tina was such a joy to communicate with, she was such a help with local info and recommendations in the local area. It is located a short drive from the entrance to Yosemite National Park, which was great! The house is really comfortable with everything you could need supplied. We highly recommend a visit!Samantha2016-09-25T00:00:00Z
The place was beautiful and the house was perfect for a quite weekend away. Tina was a peach and helped with anything that needed to be addressed.Nina2015-07-13T00:00:00Z
I had a weekend birthday celebration with 10 friends at Water's Edge and we had a fantastic experience! It's always tough when you have a big group, but this house was perfect for us. We swam in the lake, grilled on the deck, roasted marshmallows in the fireplace, and hiked on the trail down the road. The house was well stocked and very comfortable, but we also made sure we brought everything we thought we might need. We thought we would be out and about more, but we were so comfortable at the house, we spent a ton of time there, just relaxing, hanging out, laughing our asses off, and watching movies. We picked up pizza in Groveland one night and made a couple of pit stops at the local market, which was just a short drive away. Early on Saturday morning we went to Yosemite Valley to hike and explore and it was about a 1:15 minute drive in (no traffic). Getting back was a different story as the valley was very crowded, but all in all, the location is very good for all the amenities, plus the proximity to the park. It's really perfect. Tina gave us excellent tips and guidance, and was completely available as we organized the weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for me and my friends and I would love to make a visit here a regular occurrence!Claire2015-05-26T00:00:00Z

We had a fun time at Marcia's cabin. It was a perfect size for 2 families. We had 4 adults and 4 kids.The main floor was nice and open and even better than the pictures. The master bedrooms were large sized. It was helpful to have 3 full bathrooms. The cabin has everything you need!Nikki2016-09-19T00:00:00Z
Great Experience in a great home!Blake2016-05-24T00:00:00Z
Marcia made sure that access to the cabin was easy for us by texting the information that we overlooked on the website. The folks at the gate to the resort knew we we coming. The house was far more spacious and beautiful than the pictures. The fireplace and the entry welcomed us with Christmas decorations! Our favorite rooms were the kitchen and game room. We cooked every night and had everything we needed. After dinner we played darts, air hockey and foosball! We loved the house and had a great time!Cindy 2016-12-27T00:00:00Z
Didn't have any real dialogue with the host, but all the information we needed was made available through normal airbnb correspondence. The home was as pictured, it was very clean, tidy, with all the kitchen amenities you would need. Beds were clean and very comfortable. Instructions for wifi, garbage, recycle, check-out, etc. were all very clear. This worked out so well for me and my coworkers, as it would for a large family, a small group gathering, etc. Thank you!diana2016-07-14T00:00:00Z

Great host, Mr Krishna communicated all the details about the place and getting there in advance and was very helpful throughout. Groveland was a warm and welcoming town and the gated community is nice and peaceful. The place is a short drive to Yosemite and many nearby trails so there's plenty to do. We all enjoyed the visit very much!Charith2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
We picked this place because it was most reasonably priced for the cleanliness, style/comfort and distance to Yosemite Valley. 50 miles to the valley was consistently done in 75 minutes (without traffic). We booked last minute using "instant booking" feature, and owner was in instant contact, very responsive! The rental is pretty much self operating, and the house rules were very reasonable. Market right off the freeway and also a pizzeria few blocks away (there are tons of basic ingredients and condiments at the house). We didn't see any bears, but we did see some deers grazing at the neighbor's front yard. There's two gas stations nearby in Groveland that are reasonably priced (also one eastbound towards Yosemite). Groveland is an old gold rush town nearby. Wished we had allotted some time to have lunch there, looks cute. We went to the lake nearby, very pretty and nice to swim in. No deposit required, also nice.Lana2015-10-13T00:00:00Z
The house is beautiful no complains about that, but they don't tell you that, besides the cleaning fee, you have to leave everything clean your self. Beds are uncomfortable because they make to much noise, if you move you wake up the person sleeping next to you.Cata2015-11-15T00:00:00Z
Su casa súper acogedora. Se siente que vive una familia muy buena.Ruth2016-12-26T00:00:00Z
This was a nice, clean house with all the necessities in a nice, gated community. It was a nice base to explore Yosemite and surrounding areas, despite that it is about an hour away. The community is also nice, with beach club, golf course, etc. On the downside, despite paying almost $150 for cleaning, you have to wash the towels, do the dishes, wipe the counters, take the trash to a dumpster 0.6 miles away, and do all this by 10AM. This is not typical or reasonable and makes your last morning pretty hectic. You are not allowed to use the fireplace that is shown in the pictures, either.Okan2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
A group of us stayed at this beautiful home for 3 nights over Christmas, and everyone had a fabulous time. Everything was as described and worked great. Mrs Krishna was extremely prompt in responding to our queries, and very understanding when I had to make some unforeseen changes - our entire group really appreciated this! We also found the information about Groveland and the meticulous labeling in the kitchen to be very useful. We enjoyed our vacation here very much!Anupama2015-12-28T00:00:00Z
Easy access to Yosemite, safe area, quick response from the host. The house is old style but very clean, extremely organised and well-equipped. I would definitely go back again.Ngan2015-09-29T00:00:00Z

It's a yurt! A little pricey but good location. Only for two of us but could have slept 6. Stayed here after hiking Hetch Hetchy area in Yosemite, went to Tioga Rd the next day. Very cold, no heat. Had to pull the quilt from the other bed to stay warm. The showers were very nice. I might try a hotel in groveland next time.Briana2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
Great experience in the yurt! It was just cool enough at night and we felt very comfortable here! This may be uncontrollable but quiet hours were from 10pm to 7am, however, there was a group of people being extremely loud from 10pm to 2am.. this was our only con of our experience.McKinzey2016-08-05T00:00:00Z
The listing was true to the information. We were in a great position and the breeze cooled the yurt down overnight so it was really comfortable.Louise2016-08-25T00:00:00Z
The yurt was surprisingly very spacious and clean! It accommodated 4 people with no problem. There is no air conditioning but the nights get cool so it's not a problem. The campsite is in a great location from Yosemite .Patrycja2016-07-26T00:00:00Z

Inaugural Prayer Watch:
Massive security preparations under way for inauguration, amid protest threats to 'paralyze' DC
The stage is set for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration - not just the traditional swearing-in platform on Capitol Hill, but a massive security presence amid protest plans to "shut down" the nation's capital.
Most crowd estimates for the Jan. 20 festivities are far short of the record-setting 1.8 million visitors for President Obama's historic 2009 inauguration. But the throngs of spectators and protesters alike are enough to create transit, security and hospitality challenges. "Security is my greatest concern," Missouri GOP Sen. Roy Blunt, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, recently said. "No question that on inaugural day, this would be the most appealing target in the world."
He suggested the city could have as many as 750,000 demonstrators alone.
More than three-dozen law enforcement agencies are working together on security and safety plans in anticipation, including the Capitol Police, FBI, Secret Service and National Guard.
Roughly 7,500 Guardsmen from across the country will come to Washington, along with about 3,000 police officers from various states, with the Secret Service taking the lead on security . . .
Several protest groups planning large-scale demonstrations have permits in place and have already held organizational meetings, among them the collaborative DisruptJ20.
"We're planning a series of massive, direct actions that will shut down the inauguration ceremonies and any related celebrations," the group says. "We're also planning to paralyze the city."
Organizers say they are targeting everything from the parade to the balls and plan to use blockades and protesters to stop traffic, public transit and parties.

1. IDF: 'We'll turn Hamas tunnels into their death trap' - YNET News
Behind the misleading image of a calm in southern Israel, the IDF and Hamas are already preparing for the next war.
The Israeli side is focusing on locating Hamas' strengths and optimizing the selection of targets.
Hamas, on the other side of the fence, is preparing for the use of naval commandos and mini remotely-piloted vehicles, setting off daily sirens in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area and bringing thousands of fighters into the network of subterranean tunnels. (Read more)
2. Is Parks Authority involved in missionary activity? - Israel National News
Numerous complaints which reached the Yad Le'achim organization's emergency hotline revealed that at the Parks Authority store at the entrance to the Stalagmite Cave near Beit Shemesh which sells condiments, souvenirs, maps and books, there was also a children's book with missionary content.
The Yad Le'achim organization is devoted to combating missionary efforts against Jews as well as rescuing Jewish women from Arab villages. (Read more)
3. Qatar negotiating prisoner swap between Hamas, Israel - Times of Israel
A senior Hamas official confirmed Wednesday to The Times of Israel that Qatar and Egypt are involved in mediating between his organization and Israel, but stressed that Hamas will not even begin to talk about releasing Israeli civilians it has detained along with the remains of two IDF soldiers unless Israel first releases dozens of Palestinians it is holding.
Hamas is believed to be detaining Avraham Mengistu and Juma Ibrahim Abu Anima, two Israeli men who crossed into Gaza of their own accord, as well as a third, unnamed Israeli civilian whose presence in Gaza is unconfirmed. The Islamist terror group also holds the bodies of IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin, who the army says were killed in the 2014 Gaza war.
A senior Hamas official, who requested to remain anonymous, told The Times of Israel that the organization's position was clear. (Read more)
4. IDF: Hamas hacked soldiers' phones by posing as pretty girls - Times of Israel
The Israel Defense Forces uncovered a plot in which Hamas members posed as attractive women on social media in order to trick soldiers into revealing sensitive military information, a senior intelligence official said Wednesday.
The Military Intelligence officer would not reveal the exact number of soldiers affected by these attacks, which took place over the last few months, but said it was "many dozens."
"There is, of course, a potential of serious harm to national security, but the damage that was actually done was minor," the official said. (Read more)
5. Herzog demands Netanyahu be stripped of Communications portfolio - Ynet News
Opposition leader and Zionist Union Chairman Isaac Herzog is demanding that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from his position as communications minister.
"The recent reports on his matter prove that he has a clear interest and direct affiliation to the Israel Hayom newspaper, which is distributed for free and has the largest circulation in Israel," Herzog wrote in an appeal to the attorney general submitted by his lawyer, Shimon Brown.
Herzog's demand was based on reports that Netanyahu had allegedly spoken to Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Arnon Mozes on issues related to Israel Hayom. He added that if the attorney general failed to meet his demands, the Zionist Union would petition the High Court of Justice within 48 hours. (Read more)

Every prayer below is presented to our Lord in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
1. Trump blasts Russia reports, unveils plan for business empire at feisty news conference - FOX News
At a feisty news conference packed with big announcements, President-elect Donald Trump blasted the media and even the intelligence community Wednesday for "disgraceful" reports about Moscow's supposed dirt on him - while unveiling a sweeping plan to separate himself from his business empire.
. . . he was most animated while rebutting reports that the Russians may have compromising information about him. "It's all fake news. It's phony stuff. It didn't happen," Trump said.
Calling the claims "nonsense," he questioned whether the intelligence community leaked the information. He said it would be a "tremendous blot on their record" if they did and stood by a tweet likening the leak to the tactics of Nazi Germany. "That's something that Nazi Germany would have done, and did do," he said. (Read more)
- Father, for too long, the White House Press Corps has been serving as a type of elite spokesmen (and women) for the President. Father God, in order for us to do our job as citizens who vote in a free country, we must demand freedom of the press. We thank You, Lord, that this entire episode has shown the press to be, at times, foolish. We ask that they would learn from this mistake, that false never happen again. In Your name, amen.
- "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)
2. Democrats, media reel as Trump shocks the DC ecosystem - Washington Examiner
Two days of confirmation hearings show that President-elect Trump's Cabinet nominees are taking no prisoners, and are determined to quickly reverse President Obama's most controversial policies, including his immigration actions. At the same time, Trump himself showed in an unprecedented press conference that his rhetoric against the media wasn't just a campaign stunt, and that he's willing to fight reporters who don't see it his way.(Read more)
- Father, we pray for the men and women before the Senate to receive quick approval. We pray they will ably institute reform throughout our government.
- "They were all select men-mighty warriors and outstanding leaders."

3. Trump picks Obama nominee for VA secretary - The Hill
President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday announced his selection of an Obama nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). David Shulkin was nominated by President Obama as under secretary of health for the VA in 2015. "He's fantastic," Trump said of Shulkin. "He will do a truly great job."
"One of the commitments I made is that we're going to straighten out the whole situation for our veterans," Trump said Wednesday. "Our veterans have been treated horribly. They've been waiting in line for 15, 16, 17 days, cases where they go in an have a minor early stage form of cancer and they can't see a doctor and by the time they get to the doctor they're terminal. "Not going to happen. It's not going to happen." (Read more)
- Father God, we ask for a quick confirmation of David Shulkin to serve as the Secretary of Veteran's Affairs. May he be guided by Your wisdom in all he will do in his new office. In Your name, amen.
- "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." (James 1:5)
4. Trump Tax Cuts Could Jump-Start Global Economy, World Bank Says - Bloomberg
U.S. growth could accelerate to as much as 2.5 percent this year and 2.9 percent in 2018 if the Trump administration follows through on a pledge to cut the corporate income-tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent, and slash individual rates, the World Bank estimates.
"When you have this combination of tax cuts, you have a positive outcome on investment and personal consumption," Ayhan Kose, director of the bank's Development Prospects Group, said in an interview. (Read more)

5. Republican-Led Senate Takes First Step to Repeal 'Obamacare' - CNS News
The Senate early Thursday passed a measure to take the first step forward on dismantling President Barack Obama's health care law, responding to pressure to move quickly even as Republicans and President-elect Trump grapple with what to replace it with.
The nearly party-line 51-48 vote came on a nonbinding Republican-backed budget measure that eases the way for action on subsequent repeal legislation as soon as next month. (Read more)
- Father, we pray for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to be repealed and replaced quickly. Give our leaders wisdom and a sense of urgency.

6. US senators unveil Russia sanctions bill after intel report - Times of Israel
Several US senators including Republicans critical of President-elect Donald Trump's skepticism of alleged Kremlin-ordered hacking joined forces Tuesday to introduce sanctions against Russia for interfering in the US election.
The five Democrats and five Republicans laid out expansive new punishments including visa bans and financial asset freezes against those determined to have carried out cyberattacks against US Democratic offices.
"We should all be alarmed by Russian attacks on our nation," Senate Republican John McCain told reporters, as he also criticized President Barack Obama's outgoing administration for failing to craft a strong strategy for cyber deterrence. (Read more)
- Father God, we pray in the Spirit over this report. We may not see all the facts here, but You do. Thank You that You are watching over us, in love, and that it is Your will that we have peace between our two nations, and not war. In Your Name, amen.

The head of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) on Wednesday slammed President-elect Donald Trump's plan to separate himself from his business interests, calling it "wholly inadequate" in resolving potential conflicts of interest. (Read more)
- Lord God, we realize that there yet remain many who do not want to see Donald Trump assume the position he has rightfully gained. If there be any truth in this report, we ask that it be confirmed; but if these allegations are untrue, then we ask that they be dismissed, in Your name, amen.
- "Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long." (Psalm 25:5)
8. Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz team up to defund UN over Israel vote - Washington Examiner
The United States taxpayer must stop paying into the United Nations until it reverses its vote condemning Israel's occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, two top senators said Thursday. Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, appeared together on MSNBC about a new bill introduced Thursday that would block taxpayer dollars from going toward the U.N. Graham said the resolution passed last month, which the United States abstained from, was a step too far in attacking Israel and it must be undone. (Read more)
- Father, we pray that Senators Graham and Cruz will be successful in admonishing the United Nations. We pray for the reversal of UN Resolution 2334 and a pathway to true peace for Israel.
- "People who wink at wrong cause trouble, but a bold reproof promotes peace." (Proverbs 10:10)
9. Christians in India increasingly under attack, study shows - The Guardian
The persecution of Christians in India has risen over the past year, pushing it up a league table of countries where the practice of the faith is a high-risk activity, according to a monitoring organization.

The list, compiled by Open Doors, is headed by North Korea for the 16th year in a row. (Read more)
- Father, we lift up our brothers and sisters who are facing persecution around the world. Give them strength and wisdom to engage their cultures for Your Kingdom.

10. NHS rejects claims of 'humanitarian crisis' in England's hospitals - BBC
The NHS (National Health Service) has disputed claims from the Red Cross that there is a "humanitarian crisis" in its hospitals in England.
One of NHS England's specialist directors said he thought the service was not "at that point" of crisis, but admitted demand was higher than ever.
The Red Cross helps some hospitals with patient transport and provides care for patients who have returned home.
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn urged Theresa May to tell MPs how she would fix the "national scandal" of the NHS. (Read more)
- Lord, this is what happens in socialized medicine; services tend to not be available to those who need them when necessary. We pray for the people of England to experience Revival, and to bring into the Kingdom those who have not known You. Let righteousness and truth reign in the UK.
- "I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within your; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." (Ezekiel 36:26)
Invitation Summaries
> > > We invite your participation in a strategic intervention as we intercede and stand with Israel at this critical time during the Paris "peace" talks.

Please save the date. We invite you to take part in this strategic intervention for Israel and the nations in this critical time.
- Please make a note of the 12-hour time frame for your time zone/city/nation
- An international team of facilitators will facilitate the twelve hours of prayer/worship.
- Each hour will be ascribed to one of the tribes of Israel, its biblical and prophetic import.
"I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth." (Isaiah 62:6-7)

A Message from Dave Kubal, President/CEO
Intercessors for America
We sit upon a wonderful opportunity that the Lord has given us through this past election season. Now we must take advantage of that opportunity by battling in the spiritual realm to attain the victories He has for us. This is not unlike the days of young Israel when they sought to occupy the land that the Lord had given them. They approached the walled, battle-hardened city of Jericho, and then the Lord gave the battle strategy:
Then the Lord said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in." (Joshua 6:2−5, NIV).
The strategy was simple:
1. March for six days blowing the signaling trumpet to announce the Presence of God.
2. Shout to the enemy on the seventh day, allowing the Presence of God to break down the walls.
January 14-19 - Teams of intercessors will be prayer walking (marching) around the US Capitol and the White House complex declaring the coming presence of our Lord and destruction of the walls of protection around those oppose Him. Those not able to be in DC during these times may do the same during their prayer times.
January 20 - As President Trump finishes his oath of office, at the moment of the transition of power, all intercessors are instructed to shout to the Lord with faith and expectation that the spiritual walls will be destroyed at that moment. For those not in DC, please do this wherever you are and consider joining thousands across this nation by dialing 712-432-0075 then enter the code 1412452#. The call will start at the beginning of the Inauguration Ceremony.
Those of us who have joined our hearts and prayers together on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call are watching, waiting and praying...in joyful expectation...as we move toward that GLORIOUS DAY, January 20 th , the Inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 45 th President of the United States of America. We will be installing a new temporal leader, but our primary focus is on the establishing of a new C oven ant with our LORD and KING, our BRIDEGROOM, Jesus Christ as we WELCOME HIM into our Nation!

A perilous time for discernment
I received a tweet two days ago from CNN saying that the Russians had compromised President-elect Donald Trump's personal files. The story grew as news organizations picked it up and ran with it without collaborating the facts. It's how fake news rolls. Soon NBC, CBS, MSNBC and others were airing their variations of how the Russians had information about Trump having prostitutes urinate on a bed that the current lame duck "president" and his wife had slept on at the Moscow Ritz Carlton. As it turned out, the entire premise for the story was false and, even further, the CIA was involved in developing and placing it. Donald Trump is up against some of the darkest powers on earth, and so are we. On January 10, Buzzfeed reported: "The dossier, which is a collection of memos written over a period of months, includes specific, unverified, and potentially unverifiable allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives, and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians. BuzzFeed News reporters in the US and Europe have been investigating various alleged facts in the dossier but have not verified or falsified them." In other words, it's not news. The story was fabricated to be the October surprise that would topple Trump's campaign. It was passed by anti-Trump operatives to the CIA, which in turn oversaw contrived reports written and leaked to the news media.
Now even Rick Wilson (no relation), the #nevertrump operative who passed the story to the CIA, says It was a made up hoax. It's an example of fake news and CNN and the mainstream media fell for it. But there is even a deeper point. Trump is saying that there are leaks in our intelligence community at the highest level-those who are briefing him. Trump set a trap to find out if he was right by holding a meeting that only he and the intel mugs knew about. After the meeting, the media reported on it. Trump knows. The problem here is deep and dangerous: The CIA, the Democratic Party, and various tools of the globalist cabal are using every tactic at their disposal to undermine the Trump Presidency.
There is a clear and present danger facing Trump and the American people. Globalists, in various shades of Marxists, Islamists, and capitalists, are attempting to overthrow, or at the very least, undermine the Trump presidency. They are seeing that he will not play nice like the Bush's, Clinton's and the current occupant of the White House. As Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1 about the end times, "perilous times shall come." We must not retreat against these powers. We must stand as Ephesians 6:12 people, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." These are times for great discernment, prayer and supplication, and speaking boldly as we ought to speak. Our national liberty depends on it.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
Bill Wilson
The purpose of the Paris "peace" talks will be to determine a "two-state" solution to "peace" in Israel, i.e. making Palestine a recognized state. The talks are a critical issue setting the stage for an end-time alignment of nations. We have sensed this year will be a year of great shaking but also of demonstrations of the holiness of God and the fear of the Lord. The handling of Israel will be core to the shaking.

Classic Hymns:
"I was blind but now I see!" (John 9:25)
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!
The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine.

About the Author:
Words: John Newton, 1779
Music: James P. Carrell and David S. Clayton, 1831
This is probably the most popular hymn in the English language-a television documentary was even made about it. Perhaps it is because its words so well describe the author: John Newton was a slave trader before coming to Christ. It was sung at the funeral of American president Ronald Reagan.
