My husband and I got married out there a couple weeks ago and my whole family stayed there and Brenda (host) and Val (cleaning/maintenance) went so above and beyond to accommodate us all, she made sure all of the rooms had everything that everyone needed, whenever we had any questions with planning the weekend beforehand we would call her and she was so incredibly helpful with EVERYTHING. She decorated our room adding some special touches for my husband and I. My wedding weekend/week was absolutely perfect and I truly have Brenda to thank for all of the advice and help she gave us while planning the weekend before we even got out there. Cannot say enough amazing things about her and this beautiful hidden gem!!!

When we got to the site and our room,the Zinfandel suite, we put the code in and there was someone already in our room and in the bed.

The guy was related to the owner and ended up calling them about the screw up. He got the code for another room, the winemakers suite, so we ended up staying but was still freaked out that someone could get our new room code so we didn't sleep well. Noticeable amount of cockroaches were around too. Haven't heard anything from the owner about the mix up. No apology or anything.

My favorite part of staying here was having dinner on the porch & looking at the view & sunset & seeing deer! During the day we set off to tour Oakhurst. We went to Mariposa Coffee Company, Butterfly Creek Winery, The Forks Saloon which had a live band, line dancing & the best burger I've had!! We also went to Bass Lake & shopping. I recommend staying here as the house was comfortable, clean & relaxing. We saw deer every day. I loved that we could just relax & enjoy being in this gorgeous place away from the busy city life. A true piece of Heaven! Looking forward to staying here again! Sincerely, Jennifer

Quite frankly, we were nightmare guests for this wonderful couple! First, we were all going to stay in one cottage, but upon arrival, Neil observed us trying to get my 88-year-old handicapped mother up the stairs inside. He consulted privately with Carol and very kindly offered us the unit below theirs that had the bathroom, bedroom, and living room on one floor. What a life saver! Mom and I stayed there--at no extra charge! I don't know what we would have done otherwise. Then when our car broke down in Yosemite Village, Neil drove us the almost 20 miles back to the village the next day, waited while we sorted out the car and a place to stay in the village, drove us to our next place, then helped us unload the bags into our lodging!! OMG. We were really astounded at Neil's graciousness, as well as Carol's. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We strongly recommend anyone who wants reasonable rates close to Yosemite Village check out Cozy Bear. You can save a lot of money by bringing your own food, packing lunches, and enjoying this lovely little find nestled in the woods of Wawona.

I stayed in Cozy Bear North with my husband and 3 young children in June. They have online…read morereservations, but I called to speak with Carol personally. She explained the fees and terms clearly and sent all the details by mail. She also very kindly allowed us to arrive before the 4pm check-in time when I explained we would be driving 4 hours from home with a cooler full of perishable groceries and wanted to drop them off in the refrigerator before proceeding on to the Valley for some site-seeing. Location was easy to find because I used Google maps prior to setting out. Good thing because our GPS got us to the road, but not to the specific address. Also helpful is that the entire Yosemite West neighborhood is on Google street view. Neal greeted us upon arrival and was very welcoming and friendly, but not intrusive. He and Carol live next door and invited us to call them if we needed anything and said they would come right over, but we never needed to call them. Location is the closest you can get without being in Yosemite Valley itself. It takes about 30 minutes to drive to the Valley Visitor Center, but is very near destinations such as Glacier Point, Tunnel View, Bridalveil Fall, and Wawona. The kitchen had cooking and baking implements, and a few ingredients, such as cooking oil, coffee, tea, sugar, and condiments, but these are apparently left from previous guests, but looked usable. We brought most of our groceries from home, and bought a few items each day at the Market in Yosemite Valley. There is no place to buy food or gas in Yosemite West. There is a gas fireplace and games and VCR/DVD in the living room, and an outdoor patio with a BBQ grill, but we didn't use any of these much because we were out all day enjoying nature. Beds were comfortable, there was ample storage, and the 3 kids fit perfectly in their own room with 1 double and 1 twin bed. Only slight inconveniences were having 1 bathroom, a dining table that only fits 4, and the many bear-themed decorations which crowded the space on bedroom dressers, counters, and beds. Also be aware that there are 4 separate levels to the house, so you will be going up and down stairs constantly. This is a Duplex, so occasionally we could hear the Cozy Bear South guests moving about or speaking, but it wasn't a problem because they were not overly loud. The neighborhood was quiet at night while we were there. We cleaned the kitchen and took out the garbage as instructed and Carol and Neal refunded our full cleaning deposit before we even got home from our trip. Overall, this is a very comfortable and conveniently located place to stay. It is very good for families with kids and if you like saving money by cooking your own food and don't mind washing dishes while on vacation.

It's hard working away from home and not have a minimum standard of comfort I have grown accustomed to with the Hilton name. Stayed 5 nights and asked to have my room serviced 1 time only as I had work documents I was working on so kept the Do Not Disturb sign up every day while I was in Federal Court working. The ONE day I wanted service I went down at 7:30 am and asked the front desk to please have my room serviced before I returned at noon as it was my only day off and wanted to watch the World Cup final. Returned to a messy room no bathroom tissue, clean towels, or coffee. Called front desk disappointed as hotels should clean rooms without being asked. However, since I hadn't wanted to be disturbed I made sure to ask the one time I did want room made up. Told them to just send TP towels and coffee and forget making up the room as I was already back and wanted to rest and watch the match. I kid you not housekeeping knocked 5 times, 4 after being told I just wanted to rest and had the sign on the door. She actually opened the door on us AFTER we said we didn't want service! Didn't enjoy the full experience of the game or the lunch I bought to accompany it due to the stalking on the part of housekeeping! It is very convenient for people like me doing business downtown, ample parking, good coffee for hotel standards for us who work late into the night in our room. Staff are truly unfriendly and not helpful at all. A/C doesn't cool the room and it is the end of July, hard to sleep. TV freezes and pixelates. Only one out of 3 elevators worked. Pool is old and depressing. Spoke to Jonathan who was EXTREMELY dismissive and not helpful. This hotel could be great if they changed personnel. A good management team creates a good customer service culture amongst ALL staff. I'd start with replacing management.

Ms. Linda, the innkeeper/property owner is delightful and definately has the personality for the roll. She will not rest until everyone is happy, true and authentic country hospitality. Located in Reedley, and set on a beautiful plum orchard, the country inn is a picturesque cottage surrounded by courtyards, gardens, paths, and litterally thousands of roses in every color imaginable. The residences are immaculately clean and well kept. A full, gourmet country breakfast is served each morning in the main house. Ms. Linda is a terrific host and attends to your every need. If you are expecting cookie cutter hotel style experience then dont bother, but if you want a relaxing and enjoyable country bed and breakfast experience then this is your place!
