Enjoyable

Pro's: The property was larger than expected and plenty of room for my family across all age groups. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a great time as a family. Plenty of activities in the home to keep everyone satisfied and busy so a perfect place for families! The pool was beautiful and a blast for all. Cons: Be sure to read the details carefully. The home is located outdoors, and wildlife tends to get into it. We had a bat flying around inside the home. Called the host and said it was to be expected and clearly indicated in the listing. There were rat or mouse droppings in the bathroom, flies, and mosquitos in the evening.

Memorial Day Weekend

The pictures do not do justice for this property. I was in awe of the home when we turned the last bend and saw the home. Absolutely beautiful. The pool is something out of a dream, large waterfall so soothing to listen to while swimming. The kitchen is stunning and has almost any pan and bowl you can need. It was like I was living a fairy tale cooking with the beautiful view on the amazing stove. There is plenty of space for everyone and the game room was a huge hit with the kids. This is the perfect property. I cannot wait to return. Owner is very responsive and attentive. 10 out of 10.

Outstanding in Every Way

If you can believe it, this place is even better than we expected. Seriously, the listing photos don't do it justice. For me and my husband, at least, this is a dream house in a dream location. Log cabin style, gorgeous decor, breathtaking views, but with all the modern comforts you could possibly want. It doesn't get any better. Fabulous master shower with sauna, extremely comfortable beds (even the pillows, which is unheard of!), well stocked kitchen, awesome home theater, arcade games, pool with waterfalls, hot tub with jets, cabana. We made use of it all. And there are easy instructions for operating everything (note: thank you to the gracious host for answering my questions; sorry I didn't see the handy info/FAQ binder in the kitchen that first day). What a paradise. We didn't want to leave. We will definitely book again when visiting Yosemite. P.S. They aren't kidding about critters. We thought we weren't going to see anything and then on the last day, a huge alligator lizard was spotted just chillin' inside the main living room door. We are outdoors people and found it very endearing but fair warning if this is a problem for you.

Thanksgiving at the lodge!

The Sahari lodge is amazing. It is an excellent home base for family and friends and is even better than the pictures and listing show. We enjoyed the thanksgiving holiday and were able to enjoy all that the lodge has to offer. We would absolutely book again.

Heaven in the Woods

I can't say enough about this property in this summary review. It was absolutely beautiful, well-appointed and welcoming. We stayed here while we visited Yosemite National Park. The drive into the park each day was so serene and invigorating taking in the beauty of the Merced River and the Yosemite cliffs. I loved how remote it was as well. We really felt like we were in our own paradise. We thoroughly enjoyed everything this property had to offer - from taking in this sunrise with our morning coffee or ending the day with a gorgeous sunset and a glass of wine on the deck to soothing our muscles in the spa or steam shower; from the cozy beds to the incredible theatre; from the exquisite kitchen to the super fun game room... there is something here for everyone in the family. We would love to spend time here again next time we are in the area. Thank you for your hospitality!

Fabulous Mountain Home

This property was wonderful for my group of kids ages 17, 13 and 8 and also for my older in laws. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax or to come together and play. The location is close to the south entrance of Yosemite but we enjoyed the drive to the entrance at El Portal. We also explored Kings Canyon one day. (about 2.5 hour drive but well worth it!) There is a cute grocery store in close proximity to the house. The pool and spa were beautiful. Only complaint was that we could not get the pool and spa lights on. Beautiful sunsets and great communication with the property manager. Thank you for a wonderful vacation! Would highly recommend this home!

Beautiful, huge home that’s perfect for a couple families.

We had 4 adult, 4 kids and 2 dogs and had PLENTY of space. The house had a ton of amenities which kept the kids occupied when we weren’t visiting Yosemite. Speaking of Yosemite, the location of this house is great. We were about 30 minutes from one entrance and 45 to the other. The hosts were very good with communication and it was easy to get in and out of. Sitting out in the hot-tub after a full day exploring Yosemite was amazing. Overall it was a great stay and we would absolutely stay there again.

Terrific family time!

We chose this property because of the remote location, spaciousness of the home, and the pool. It did not disappoint. We had our college-aged children and a couple of family friends - five people between the ages of 18 and 20 - and everyone had a terrific time. The setting is absolutely beautiful and was easy to find. The hosts provided incredible documentation for all of the house systems so we were able to enjoy all of the amenities. Highlights for my family: THE POOL, beautiful setting, large well-appointed kitchen, comfy beds, lovely bathrooms. We would love to come stay again!

Amazing family retreat!

This was the perfect getaway for us. The pool and hot tub were amazing as well as the game room and theater. The kids also loved the basketball game in the porch area (not pictured) and rated the house and the vacation a 10/10! The house is secluded but close enough to stores (20 min. to Oakhurst) that we didn't feel too far out of the way. We got in a day trip to Yosemite but mostly enjoyed the amazing house and pool and made use of the great kitchen and BBQ. The hosts are great and were very responsive. We had a minor issue with the door code on check-in, but they addressed it right away. The pool lights were not working during our stay, but the patio and landscaping lights were ample for evening hot tub use. This is on the short list of vacation rentals that we want to visit again!

Doesn’t get better than this

The house , the hostess , the area is the best. The house is just as the pictures look. However the views of the mountains is much better. Lots to do inside an out. Only about 35-40 minutes from the Red Woods and an hour to the valley gate. Mariposa (only 12 minutes away) is a quaint town an we went there everyday. If you get a chance splurge an eat at the Eldeberry House in Oakhurst Quite an experience but don’t be in a hurry an I would not recommend little children for it was a whole evening. The property an house was outstanding all questions from Host answers within minutes. One recommendation. Don’t go to the grocery store before taking inventory of kitchen an fridge. Spices,condiments,coffee,tea etc

Luxury log cabin lodge! Beautiful home and property with great amenities, and amazing pool. My family and I stayed here over a very snowy three nights in Dec. we were snowed in and it was great as we had everything we needed, complete kitchen, entertainment galore with TV’s, game machines, and games, comfy bedrooms, and it was plenty warm. Upon departure the host had the drive plowed and we were set. Also, the host provided great communication and home details, and was very accommodating. Look forward to returning in the summer to enjoy the incredible pool!

Perfect Mountain Getaway

If you're looking for the perfect mountain getaway, this is it. The house itself is exactly as described, beautifully decorated, with all amenities. The property is about 40 minutes from the entrance at Yosemite. The beautiful knotty pine you identify with an upscale mountain retreat is throughout. The stone fireplace is the perfect place to take that family picture. The kitchen is stocked with amenities (not something you see in many rentals) and everything you need to make full dinners is available. Bedrooms and beds are super comfortable and we enjoyed watching movies in the media room in super comfy lounge chairs. We look forward to returning so we can try out the beautiful pool! Thank you for a wonderful family vacation.

We love to travel!

We found ourselves drawn back to Yosemite time and time again. We fell in love with the peace that washes over as we enter the Sierras. It gives us great pleasure to offer our place for fellow travelers to experience the majestic beauty of this land.

Welcome to Sahari Lodge...

Why they chose this property

The Sahari Lodge captured our hearts with the peace that comes with being surrounded by nature. The lodge is an expansive 5000 sq ft of well-appointed rooms and many amenities

What makes this property unique

For the city dwelling folks that we are, we are in awe of being able to experience nature...the stars are magnificently bright, the air crisp and the sounds are those of birds and critters.
