Cottage vacation rentals in El Portal

We had a lovely stay at this property. The house has everything you could possibly need. There are plenty of activities inside and outside of the house. We were 2 families with 5 kids total and everyone was entertained for hours upon hours. The pond was such a lovely addition to our trip. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing and watching the wildlife: The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious. There are plenty of games and toys for kids. The kitchen is large and has everything you need to cook for a large group. The one down side we encountered was the window coverings in the bedrooms. The blinds don’t fit some windows properly and some of the larger windows don’t have blinds at all so the light comes into the bedrooms early in the mornings. Just something to note for families with small kids who need dark rooms.

Overall had an amazing time and Jamahli was very quick with responding if there were any questions. Check-in and check-out were both extremely easy. Such a beautiful home and area with an amazing view, especially during sunset! If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing trip, this is definitely a great place to stay at with amazing hosts! :)

Such a beautiful home!! The outside was gorgeous, thank you so much!

Tom was an amazing host. He was flexible with check in time. Had Benjamin greet us and walk us through the property. He showed us where everything was. Made us feel right at home. The place was very clean and conveniently located. Walking distance to everything in town. I would come again and recommend to others

If you want a place to relax and to feel at home with a peaceful and cozy home you should book with Kyle. His home makes you feel your home while having a safe surrounding in case of an emergency. Also if you have a problem with anything Kyle fast at responding in case of any emergency. I highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone passing by and needing a place to stay for the night.

great place, the locations is amazing and close to alot to walk to. the place it's self is fantastic. the only downside is the kitchen doesnt have any cooking stuff just a microwave but the restaurants are all around it and east to walk to. definitely worth it.

We throughly enjoyed our stay here! It was just close enough to Mariposa or Oakhurst for a bite to eat, but it was just far enough to enjoy a nice, quiet time to relax at the house. It is located about 45 minutes from the South Entrance of Yosemite, which was a plus for hikers like us. We definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful home away from home!

Super clean and cozy place. Instructions were so clear that we were able to find the place in Dark . Always responsive and made sure that we were comfortable at place. Thank you.

Kelly’s place was exactly as described. Our family had a great time at their cottage. They had all streaming services signed in, so our family enjoyed cozy nights indoors watching movies. As other reviews said, we found a few bugs, but nothing unusual for this location. It was about 45 minutes from the south entrance. The bathrooms could be upgraded, as water was clogged in the sink and bathtub.

Our family of four loved staying at the cabin. It was super walkable to the town, and two fun hiking trails that our young kids did no problem. Louisa and Matson were very accommodating and had a bottle of wine and chocolates waiting for us on arrival. We loved it so much we will definitely be returning next year.

Charming cottage! Well-appointed with thoughtful, helpful amenities. Clean and cozy. Lots of local wildlife visible from the windows and backyard (turkeys, deer, geese, quail, etc.). We’re looking forward to staying here again in the near future!

I have resided at Marilyn's cottage years before making for a very pleasant return. Updates to the place were well-placed, improving an already fantastic place. This speaks to Marilyn's eye for the importance of details as it relates to comfort. I would stay again.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Carolyn’s place after our trip to Yosemite. The home was clean, cozy, and exactly what we needed to relax and recharge. Check-in was smooth, and everything was just as described. We’d definitely stay here again!

Easy check in, the house has everything you need, easy to use. Bathroom is great and the water pressure pretty good.

Thank you very much, our family had a great time!

Everything you need and more for an amazing and relaxing trip! Can’t wait to come back!

Hi, Patti’s cabin is great. Located 20 mins to the southern entrance of Yosemite, mins away from town, and situated right in the woods. The cabin has everything you need - towels, shampoo, blow dryer, extra sheets, games, streaming tv, iron, utensils, etc. Beds were comfortable.

Great little place for those visiting Yosemite! Amazing location and neat little home, loved everything about this place!

Place was clean and comfortable, We were family with 2 kids, so place was perfect for 4. We did not use the upstairs loft, but that could easy host 2 more people. or could be converted into an entertainment zone. Beautiful surrounds, enjoyed morning walk. It was too wet for kids to go down to the creek, but it would be perfect place when it gets warmer. Turkeys in the morning was a surprise. There is no AT&T signal and Internet speed was slow and unreilable.

When I booked the place Vicki reached out to let me know the location is right next to a bar. It is indeed RIGHT NEXT TO a bar. I found the noise to be pretty easily drowned out by turning on the fan in the bedroom and the noise didn’t really bother me. The place is extremely convenient to restaurants and bars in town and the walkability makes it worthwhile. That said, if you’re looking for more of a peace-and-quiet stay or if you are very sensitive to noise, it may not be for you. There are two other little cottages next door that are one and two more doors down from the bar though, so if those are available and otherwise the same setup they might be a better option for those wanting a little more quiet but still convenience. Vicky was a great and responsive host. Would definitely stay with her again.

Greg and Michalene’s Shambala home was the perfect stay for our Yosemite trip! the home is about an hour (give or take) from the Arch Rock entrance which gives amazing car drive views throughout. The property is super private, surrounded by nature and it was a great spot to relax after hours of hiking for the past 3 days. the attention to detail in the home didn’t go unnoticed, Greg and Michalenes home was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. they were extremely attentive and easy to communicate with. Will be back for future Yosemite trips

Perfect location to go to Yosemite and Mariposa grove ! Highly recommended,

This place is something we really needed to our busy and stressful life and work. The place is stunning, peaceful and calm. We had the best time staying there. Feels like home but a quiet one.♥️

Our stay here was so peaceful and relaxing! Perfect place to stay after long days of hiking and exploring at Yosemite. Amy gave us great recommendations and was always super responsive. Easy check in/cozy and clean space/beautiful surroundings! Thank you!
