This is my second time staying at May's place and it is exactly as I remember it, breathtaking upon entrance. This time I brought my partner and she was blown away by the incredible experience. Most notably, sipping champagne in the spa, surrounded by trees, a rushing creek, singing birds, and the sun's rays painting the forest on the hill opposite us. Truly can't be beat.

Copper Lodge is a special place. Comfortable home, beautiful nature scenery, and great amenities - the home has everything you need! This was our second stay and it was just as wonderful as the first time, perhaps even better. We were lucky to be there in gorgeous spring weather which allowed us to enjoy being outdoors in nature (although the place would be just as beautiful in any season). Loved hearing the sound of birds in the morning, watching the sunsets from the barn cabin, and seeing the stars at night. Most of all, there is a short trail to the river which was spectacular! Thank you Natalie and Jon for being great hosts and sharing your beautiful home! So grateful for the time we had at Copper Lodge. Hope to return in the future!

We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. The entire home was spotless, the running water was warm, and the property was peaceful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get away.

This was not our first stay at the Story Homestead and won’t be our last. The house is perfect for our needs, mini french bulldog, and making meals. It is always exceptionally clean; guest instructions are clear. The surroundings are beautiful and so peaceful with lots of delightful bird watching and walks. The fireplace insert is very warming with plenty of wood provided. We are looking forward to staying again in the spring.

I came in March 9th, the area was green green green. So remarkably beautiful. I am so grateful for the peacefulness of the space, I was really able to drop in and just enjoy the area, there was gate access toa field behind the property where I was able to walk and watch the sunrises and sunsets. I was there for four days (I purchased an extra day because I was enjoying myself so much!) I did not leave but once to go get myself some food. The home was cozy, the bath was relaxing. The animals were sweet, the property was gorgeous. Everything I needed to decompress. My heart is so full! THANK YOU!

Very beautiful surroundings with an impressively clean rental. Typically I am grossed out by some rentals but this one was very clean. High-pressure showerhead has a huge plus. Not once smelled animal manure from the rental, even with the windows open. Well laid out and thoughtful property with very friendly animals and extremely responsive hosts. binder with clear instructions in the rental, a basket of books with things to do in the area, and a guest stay book to write a note are a pleasant touch. Family friendly with a child gate at the top of the stairwell. Lots of wild birds around making walking a bit of the property even more peaceful. 10/10 would recommend!

There are rare cases when an Airbnb is so nice that we wish we lived there, and this is one such place. From the moment we stepped into this homestead, the experience had been nothing but amazing. Their friendly dog greeted me at the gate (I had a great time with her even as a person scared of dogs), and their cute cat would always follow us! And we aren't even talking about the room yet. The room really does look as amazing as the pictures (actually, the real thing feels even better). It is super clean, very well lit, the kitchen is modern and has every utensil you can think of, washers and dryers are new and clean, and the room has great heat and sound insulation (I'm a light sleeper and really appreciate this!). It really shows how much passion and care Daniel and Aimee put into this place. On top of all that, this place has Tesla chargers. It makes the mountain trips so much easier when we can charge at night! This is truly the rare gem in the area.

Perfect stay for our family of four! We all loved the loft and its beautiful surroundings. The loft was exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. We’re already talking about coming back for another visit. My kids were obsessed with the basketball court and games. This was a great amenity and definitely swayed our decision on where to stay. We would have appreciated a baby gate at the top of the stairs for my very active 3 year old but made it work without. Other than that, 10/10.

Took the family to spend a weekend away and see Yosemite. Leslies home was perfect, we had a really great time. Plenty of space for the 7 of us, it could have definitely accommodated more without feeling crowded at all. The property is only about 20-30 minutes from Yosemite South entrance and 5-10 minutes from Oakhurst/Bass lake. Overall I will be keeping this property in mind for a return trip.

Roger’s place was wonderful! Very clean and had plenty of space for everything we needed. Unfortunately, we were here for work and weren’t able to enjoy all this place had to offer, but would love to come back again for a vacation! Roger was excellent with the communication and extremely flexible and helpful.
