Central California: eco lodge

Larry's place was extremely comfy and convenient for taking my kids skiing at June Mountain. The space was cozy and well-stocked with all the comforts of home. The fireplace and hot tub available in the building really made relaxing with friends by the fire Apre Ski delightful. We all loved it and felt well taken care of!

Evergreen Haus was just as described. We found the home clean, tidy, and our room was as well. The bed was extremely comfortable. Eddie was very helpful with tips about going into Yosemite as well as local restaurants. My grandson loved the trampoline and looked forward to our return from the park to jump.

We stayed here for 3 nights and had a great stay! From Eddie welcoming us to him seeing us off, our stay here was better than we could have hoped for. We chose this place because of the excellent price and reviews and both proved to be very true. We learned so much about Yosemite and the immediate area from Eddie. We planned an entire day based on his recommendations and it was one of our best days. I wish this would have been our first stop before heading into the park. Our room was at the end of the hall and quiet. The room itself, Cedar Room, was big with a huge bathroom. There were so many amenities from all types of soaps to snacks in the kitchen. The common areas are far enough away from the rooms that there was no noise at all. The common areas we very spacious and clean with an outside patio and large yard area. If you are looking for a friendly, well priced alternative to a hotel or typical Airbnb, this is the spot for you! We will stay here again!

We spent a few nights at Eddie’s place toward the end of a three week California road trip and it was one of our most relaxing stays. The lodge had everything we needed to make breakfast and to pack lunches for a day of sightseeing. Eddie gave great recommendations for hikes in this beautiful area and for local restaurants, and his lodge is in a great location to get to both easily. It was interesting to visit with Eddie about the history of the lodge and his labor of love to make it what it is today. I definitely recommend Eddie’s place if you’re in the Yosemite area!

Had a great stopover in this motel. Clean, comfortable and easy. No direct contact with staff - but everything clearly explained in advance and worked like clockwork. Superb vegetarian restaurant just a 2 minute walk away.

Marlin’s place was clean, quite very comfortable with a nice view. Looking forward to visiting more of his locations!

By far the best Air BnB we've ever stayed in. Perfect mix of modern amenities and nature. Our host Kenneth thought of everything. QR codes directing you to easy to understand quick videos show you how to use all great cooking options. We used the sauna and then jumped into the river for the perfect cold plunges. The houses are nice and private with a beautiful view of nature. Personal fire pits and hot tubs were the perfect ending to our days. Hikes were easy to access from the property. You will re-connect with nature but never be too far from modern comforts. Kenneth has really created a special place. We will absolutely return. -Andrew & Shelby.

I just want to say thank you so much, Marlin! I made a booking mistake and Marlin was the most accommodating for me and my family. We were running from the Sunset Fires so it meant a lot to me that he went out of his way to give us peace of mind and helped my health a lot! We will be back for an actual vacation once again!!!

even better than the air bnb listing! jane’s spot is magical, perfect for our 12 person getaway. the land is so special, each little structure and pathway so unique and beautiful. we loved cooking in the kitchen, walking down to the river, and enjoying the nearby hot springs. we especially loved the dance floor jane set up for us in the barn!! an incredible feature.
