We very much enjoyed our stay in the Long the Way cabin. Wifi /service was a downfall but..camping. They out a lot of effort into the little ammenities in our cabin down to bandaids and cleaning supplies and coffee and snacks and bottled water. They were accommodating when we asked for anything. Thanks!

Weekend Trip to The Fox Den

My husband and our little girls loved our stay at Malihsa’s Fox Den. It was my husband’s birthday and Malihsa even set up a “Happy Birthday” sign for him. The Fox Den had a cute fox theme and modern amenities like WiFi, 2 flat screen TV’s, and an Alexa that helped us control the air and lights. There was also a grill, hot tub and a fire pit on the property. The front patio and back patio were perfect spots for our family to hang out. I highly recommend the Fox Den. It was clean, cozy and modern. We hope to be back soon.

Weekend Trip to WILDER BUNGALOW n/Yosemite!

The little fish house was perfect for my fiancé and I! Coming back to the tiny house was super nice after long days at Yosemite! The tub is super peaceful and stars at night were so lovely! While the bed is in a loft it is super comfy! Kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils you could need! The bathroom was fully stocked as well for a nice hot shower! The composting toilet did throw us for a loop because we aren’t use to them. However, no scents or anything bad was coming from it so it was cool. It was just the right size and drive away from the park! Thank you for an enchanting home to retreat to!

Weekend Trip to WILDER BUNGALOW n/Yosemite!

Such a great place to rest your head while exploring the surroundings of Yosemite. The directions to get to this secluded cabin were spot on. This tiny cabin has everything you need and I plan on staying here again in the future! Great fire pit and hot tub to enjoy at night was the perfect way to end each evening. Overall, this cabin was everything I expected and much more.
