Yosemite's Scenic Wonders Condominiums - TUOLUMNE MEADOWS, California

This is a great place to stay in Yosemite Park. It has everything needed to comfortably stay. Kitchen well furnished to make own meals. Comfortable bed and couch. Very quiet area and great location to attractions. The condo was very clean and easy to access. I would stay here again.

Nice location inside the park (20-30 minutes to the Valley). Clean apartment. 2 full bathroom, but upstairs shower unusable (water goes everywhere). The bed was ok(memory foam mattress ok but the middle of the bed was sinking). The apartment was better than pictured. Well equipped kitchen. Walls are thin, but we had quiet neighbours so it hasn’t been a problem. Would stay here again!

PSA Bedbugs found. Came across a bedbug on our second night. Scenic Wonders initially only offered a refund of one night after sleeping in our car. Had to go back and forth with them to get a full refund, they refused to have our exposed items cleaned. Had to do that on our own dime.

Besides the bedbugs, the condos themselves have clearly been neglected since being taken over by Scenic Wonders and were not the cleanest. This issue derailed the last couple days of our trip. Avoid if possible!

Edit: They are gaming the reviews, they somehow had mine deleted. This place is truly despicable.

STAY HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND AT THE RISK OF INJURY TO YOUR FAMILY!||||THE ACCOMODATIONS ARE HAZARDOUS AND DEFECTIVE. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN! The accommodations that we had for 5 nights, the Scenic Wonders home and Scenic Wonders apartment (Both are in the same building) was poorly maintained, dirty, and hazardous. For example, one of the toilets didn't have a flush handle! One of the refrigerators didn't work. Two of the cooktop burners didn't work. Several of the windows didn't work, and to keep them open we had to prop them open with water bottles. This is especially important to know because there is no air conditioning, so the only way to keep cool is by opening windows, which don't stay open! The two sliding screen doors have broken wheels and channels and torn screens, so opening up the sliding doors for ventilation brings in it's share of mosquitoes and flies. The exhaust fan in one of the bathrooms doesn't work. There are electrical outlets that don't have plastic cover plates on them, exposing you and your children to electrical wiring. The main lighting fixture in the great room doesn't work. The wood stairs and wood railings are broken and splintered in numerous locations, so you constantly have to watch where you or your children place their hands to avoid splinters. We documented 15 defects like this upon arrival at the facility. We were not given the option to move to a safer home.||YOU NEED TO KNOW that the management and customer service are horrible. We made over a dozen phone calls to the local managers and the reservation line without anyone responding. They are glad to take your money, but don't expect them to care about you after you've paid.

The one-bedroom 'Aragon' duplex we rented was clean, smart and well furnished. But the experience was ruined by a lack of soundproofing, which meant we could hear EVERYTHING the neighbours were doing and saying. Inside our unit, we had to speak softly and keep the TV volume to a minimum so that we didn't disturb the neighbours. I think the problem could be alleviated if the owner removed the large double doors that connect the two units.|We were grossed out by some photos that had been posted on the kitchen wall by the owner, showing the unit full of garbage and dirty dishes that had been left by previous renters. I don't need to see this, and it's insulting to the majority of guests who (like us) are clean and tidy.|The TV signal was patchy, but this can be forgiven in an area that's so mountainous and remote.|For orientation, this development is a half-hour drive from Yosemite Valley to the north and Wawona to the south. There are no amenities - it's just a collection of vacation homes on a steep hillside. The road in and out is twisty and slow, with steep drops. I wouldn't want to drive it in the dark or in slippery conditions. The property lies about 6,000 feet above sea level, so the weather can be dicey in spring and fall. In fact we had to cut our visit short and head back to Fresno because of a snowfall warning.

Our condo needs a complete revamp. Baseball sized stains on the walls in the kitchenette, baseboards to ceilings need a new paint job. I understand we're paying for location and quick access to Yosemite's sites, but we're still paying and should expect up to date and visually attractive accomodations. The deck outside needs major repairs also. The boards felt spongy.

We stayed at the Aberdeen Angus, a great size holiday home. Double & single bed upstairs in loft bedroom (mezzanine style), queen bed in master downstairs, full bathroom, large living and dining area. Well stocked kitchen, good sized balcony terrace too. |We went self catering here and really enjoyed the ease of this stay. (There are grocery stores, restaurants in the National Park)|The property can be rented as above or booked with it’s mirroring apartment to sleep up to 10. Will defo stay here again next time.|We had two sitings of bears & bear cubs, during our 3night stay. And the morning we left saw a Mountain Wolf.|Easy to drive to Valley floor and Yosemite destinations from here.

Highly recommend the Hawk's Nest cabin at Yosemite Scenic Wonders! This super comfortable cabin is *in* the park so it's extremely convenient for getting to the Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove areas, it's quiet, and it's surrounded by a beautiful forest. It's a workout climbing the stairs up to the cabin, but the views from the porch are worth it. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full kitchen for enjoying dinners after long days hiking. I'd definitely stay here again!
