Average stay, but with really comfortable beds
We checked in an hour after regular check in hours ended (by prior arrangement), and was met by Gary. He was very friendly, and welcoming, and showed us to our lodge. We’d had an 11 hour flight and a subsequent 5 hour drive (due to heavy traffic) up to Ahwahnee, and just wanted to get some sleep - but there was a bit of confusion about where the key to our lodge was. After some chasing, Gary found us a key and we settled in for the night. The lodge was comfortable (the beds especially), but we did feel that it could do with being a bit cleaner, for the price paid.

I was hoping for the fruit that I saw welcomed guests when they arrive. Also, there was a discarded tissue left behind and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were not full. Other than that, easy instructions to follow for late check in.

We stayed in the stagecoach cabin. Loved it overall! My only complaint is the kitchen sink. It sprays at you while it’s running and the sink stopper didn’t fit so it was challenging doing our dishes. There was a shared propane bbq grill in the center of the property. Heat was inconsistent but we managed.

Got there before 8 nobody was at the office. Host wasn’t clear on which cottage was ours just said keys are “hanging” when I called earlier in the day.Trash was left from previous guests. The bed was made but when I pulled back the covers there was a dirty bandaid in the bed. There were flies mosquitoes and a small frog in our cottage. Our cottage didn’t match up with the picture I was emailed and the other empty cottage had no working frige or keys hanging so we tried calling several times before they were supposed to be closed when we got there but no one picked up. The second day the host basically shouted at us, she told us we were supposed to be in another cottage that was already occupied by guests when we got there. The whole thing was confusing and frustrating because she ruined our evening by trying to gaslight us and raising her voice at us. She pretended she didn’t know who we were( her husband asked us earlier if we needed anything) and said she was expecting us the following day when we had reservations that was paid in full and I called her earlier that day to tell her we were coming. I told her about the encounter we had with her husband she said he doesn’t know about guests(she said that because she knew the cottage was dirty and not ready for us) even though she didn’t give us clear instructions or picked up the phone when we tried calling when we got at the property. Very unprofessional and awkward the host seemed unstable. Couldn’t get her story straight .

I like the area and that is was close to Yosemite but the facility definitely needs updating and supplies need to be not expired. The office door constantly said “we are closed” and there was a ring doorbell that we had to wait for someone to come from the main house to attend to people. Maybe they need to hire an office person who is available at the hours listed. Cabin was clean. Couch pull out bed’s mattress was caved in and old. The shower was either too hot or too cold.. no happy medium. But there were plenty of clean towels and sheets. Definitely some pluses and some minuses. Hope they update and hire help and it would be 5 stars . Thank you.

Beautifully decorated cabins tucked away in the rolling Green hills of awahnee. Perfect home base for lots of day trips to Yosemite and neighboring areas. We went fishing down the road, didn't catch anything but enjoyed the scenery. Would love to come back for another longer stay

We had a great and peaceful time during our Yosemite gateway. This place is fairly close, about 30 min from the closest entrance and one hour from the pretty route. The grounds of this cottages are beautiful and the place is well equipped.

Loved the calm, restful cottage. This is our second time coming to Country Cottage and it did not disappoint. We were able to cook and rest. The fireplace worked well. They have sitting areas outside and around the cottage. Staff is attentive and responsive to needs. Will stay here again! Highly recommend!
