(43R) Edna's Hearts Desire at The Redwoods In Yosemite

I'm going to start by saying that this is a beautiful cabin in the woods... in Yosemite! What more can you want for, if you are heading to a National Park!? I have visited other US Parks, and even to Yosemite before, and this was the first private cabin I have stayed at. The cabin decor and some of the amenities may be dated, but served us fine. Every morning we would open the door to trees, or even wild life, and then drive down the road with towering mountains in the distance. Skipping back to the start - we spontaneously booked a trip from the UK with 2 weeks notice and could no way secure an entry reservation for the park. Sharon kindly informed us that booking accommodation within the park exempted us from that. Visiting in winter, we visited "Stage Stop Mini Mart" to rent snow chains (the only rental option to my knowledge). Arriving late, we self checked in and found the cabin by torch light. Would certainly recommend. A wonderful change from a hotel.

We have some criticism, but I want to say that we were very comfortable at this cabin, and it was quiet and private. The location is inside the park and only about a 15 minute drive to the Valley floor. Those things alone were excellent. And the person who met us at the office for check in was friendly! But the cabin wasn't clean. There was a gravy (chili?) spilled down the front of the kitchen cabinets. The coffee table was filthy on the edges/top - I wiped it off on one side and it looked better after that. I put a blanket of my own on the couch because it didn't look or feel clean. The stuff in the kitchen (they said fully stocked) was a lot. 14 frying pans. It had most things, but they were SO OLD! I think for $265 a night they could buy one nice pan set, one nice dish set, coffee cups, etc. It was seriously stocked from garage sales from the 90s. Dishwasher was out of order. Needed a dish cloth. Keurig was old & worked intermittenly. A good cabin but needs cleaning and updating
