About this property

D&E Digs / Relax in the Woods Under Starlit Skies....

Come and visit our charming cottage in the woods. Large bedroom with a tempurpedic mattress, full kitchen, and a private deck with a mountain view. Enjoy the different sitting areas around the property, including the gazebo, which is perfect for enjoying a good book or just some quiet time.

Located between two entrances to Yosemite, each with beautiful scenic routes leading you into the park. Wonderful restaurants to choose from, including a cafe right at the end of the road!

We set up the campfire for you during the cooler months. It is a great place to come home to after a wonderful day in the park....

We have a massage therapist available, (if given enough notice) to enhance your relaxation and enjoyment during your visit to D&E Digs.

Three Rivers Delight
The property was beautiful and peaceful in a great location outside Sequoia. Our hosts were a delight! Sharing useful tips and good conversation. We couldn’t have found a better place to stay! If we come back to Three Rivers or area, there is no other place we would stay!

Immaculately cleaned guest house in a wonderful location.
Donna & Eric were amazing hosts. The place is very clean and has all the necessary amenities for a stress free, vacation. Cell coverage is spotty depending on your provider but the wifi is reliable enough to depend on for remote working. Location is great in regard to park access. The sky is unbelievably gorgeous. Milky way is mesmerizing. Will definitely come back.

Trip to Mariposa
We absolutely love staying here. Perfect location a few minutes outside of Mariposa and about 45 min to Yosemite. Eric and Donna are the best hosts. This is the second time we have stayed here. Everything is very clean, bed is super comfortable. Very quiet and relaxing. We spent both evenings (and early mornings) stargazing, just amazing view of the night sky. We will definitely be back again!

Short but Great
Been living in Fresno for a couple of years and hadn't gone to Yosemite. Being a cautious person decided to break up the trip and give it a try in pieces. Staying so close to the parks entrances it was a breeze to check out the rest of the road to the park.ade it back down by night fall and made it to Mariposa for dinner. It was a short but great little trip and seeing the Merced River was a welcome addition to the experience.

Absolutely Perfect Yosemite Trip
D and E Digs was nothing short of amazing. The cottage was clean, the bed was comfortable, and you had everything you needed right there. The property was beautiful and serene. Chatting with Donna and Eric and meeting their sweet pup were added bonuses! They are just awesome humans who made sure we were comfortable and happy in their VRBO. The distance from the park was not bad at all either, it was an easy drive in and back. We will certainly back! Thank you D and E

Off the beaten path
The Carrs were very good hosts. Met us on arrival, gave us some tips and instructions. Muffins and fruit were welcoming. Place is over 45 minutes from the south entrance of Yosemite. Air conditioner only in the living room, not bedroom, but it cooled off enough at night for us. It was quaint but definitely had a few wonks, like lighting the stove with a lighter. Bed was comfortable. But I wouldn't book again.

The Perfect Getaway
Donna and Eric made sure our visit was incredibly memorable. The property is gorgeous and just what we needed in a weekend to unwind from the city. It was beautiful and so close to Yosemite Park. We were greeted graciously and felt so at home. We will definitely be back to this magical spot. Thanks again D&E!

Perfect Yosemite location - and so much more
Donna and Eric felt like old friends as we returned to this cosy cottage in the woods. After 11 years, it was even better than we remembered. It is spotlessly clean. Yosemite is certainly a highlight of any lifetime and this cottage, whilst still a drive to the park, is a much better option than anything closer for those who like good old fashioned living. Hope we come back again!

Quiet small house in the woods
We loved this place. Tucked away in the trees, quiet and beautiful. There was a window air conditioning keeping most of the place cool. Nice little kitchen to cook. One note, the owner lives on the property. It was ok for us, as she met us upon arrival, had cold drinks ready for us in the fridge and gave us excellent advice on visiting Yosemite. Was a wonderful experience.

Perfect!
This is just the sweetest little cottage in the most pristine location. And Donna and Eric were just the most lovely hosts! It's really great to have local hosts who are kind and generous, they gave us suggestions and left us fresh fruit and muffins and two cold beers in the fridge! I mean, how can you beat THAT? We did two hikes in Yosemite from the cottage. It's nice because you can use either entrance and thus change the scenery-- which is beautiful. It's about 45 min to park entrance and then however long within the park it takes you to get to where you're going!

Absolutely lovely place and hosts!!
Donna and Eric are wonderful hosts, they are very friendly and attentive! The cottage is perfect for people who enjoy vintage things, all of the appliances are from the 1950s. The location is beautiful and there is a gas station and market right down the road from it. My boyfriend and I had a great time and would highly recommend staying here!
