Caution to those booking this home
We stayed at this home recently and were very disappointed. Upon walking into the home there was an extremely pungent smell of mildew or wet clothing. Upon further examination of the home we seemed to think it was coming from the bathroom in the kids bunk room, possibly the shower. It permeated the entire house and made it very difficult to live in the home all week. I didn't feel comfortable having my kids sleep in the room with the attached smelly bathroom. We closed the door to the bathroom the entire week and didn't use it at all to try to block the smell a bit. We contacted the owners and they had their cleaning lady come out and smell the house. She was a smoker and agreed with me that the bathroom smelled like "wet clothing left in the washer." In addition, please be aware that there is only one air conditioning unit (in a window) in the living room area. All of the bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house, so getting any cool air to bedrooms is impossible. We arrived on a day that is was 108 degrees in Groveland. The inside of the house was extremely hot, even at midnight the temperatures were still about 90 degrees in the house making it very difficult to sleep. We contacted the owners about this and they told us about their house fan which would have been good to know about upon arrival. Sadly, because it was so hot outside even in the evenings, there was no way to get relief from outside air. As the week progressed, and the temperatures came down we were able to get some fresh morning air into the house to help with the smell from the bathroom. Between the smell of the house and the heat we were uncomfortable. The first evening we asked to be refunded our money and let out of our contract. The owners were willing to do so, but unfortunately all other properties in PML were already booked. We were there for an extended family trip so we needed to have a place in PML. In addition, things inside the house need work. For example, there is no window covering on one of the windows in the master bedroom. This allows more sun (and heat) to be let into the house and makes for a bright morning when you are waking up. Some of the towel racks are falling off of the wall and need to be screwed in. I tried two different can openers to open a can. One didn't work at all and one barely worked after some time using it. I have photos of these issues, but it doesn't seem like there is a place to post them here.

Fun little place
This was a fun little place to stay while we were visiting Yosemite. The kids thought the bridge and location were fun. It is generally as represented online, somewhat dated but comfortable and homey. I would stay here again.
