Guest access
A lockbox code will be provided on or before check-in. This is private property. Please respect your neighbors and don't trespass onto the neighbors' property. We also stay in this house certain days of the week when we don't have a guest(s) and have personal belonging that we keep in the house, so please don't access or open doors mark private. Thanks so much.

Other things to note
Please do include children in your guest count if they are
part of your group. So that we may properly accommodate you.
We provide free internet, however, we do not guarantee the reliability of the system due to our rural area! We do have a brand new DSL hooked up to the house.
Remember this is a rural area! This is not the city. If you can't handle being in the rural area and what comes with it (i.e. bugs, bats, scorpions, bears, mountain lions, harsh weather conditions, floods, rock slides, fires, earthquakes) then you may want to prep yourself before coming to Yosemite. Nature has a lot to offer, rivers, sunsets, hiking, wild animals and flowers, beautiful mountain views, and fresh air! Come on up! Relax and enjoy your home away from home.
