charmed stay

spacious villa balcony view
the villa was spacious i loved sitting on the balcony. the pool and spa were top notch. the general store allowed me to get coffee and breakfast on the way to yosemite.
i was not informed about wedding events near my room. loud music over the weekend was disruptive staff dismissed my complaint. the fire camp with s'mores forced me to close my windows due to the smoke.

The breakfast buffet was really good. It was convenient to Yosemite Park entrance. The General store has nice snacks and picnic lunches for hiking. Access to the Park's west entrances is convenient.
