New, clean, and comfortable house at a great location
The Yosemite Lilac House is a true gem for those who visit Yosemite National Park. The host, Charles, was very helpful and knowledgable about the area. We followed the tips from him and had a wonderful time touring the park. The house is new and the photos don't really do justice to the fine craftsmanship and decoration.

Great stay!
Could not have been more impressed with the Lilac House and Charles. From the start, the communication was outstanding. I talked to Charles about our trip and he provided so much helpful information about the area and Yosemite. Once we arrived at the house, he met us and gave us great suggestions that were really helpful as my wife and I made our first trip to Yosemite. Also, the drive from the house to Yosemite couldn't have been an easier, turn right out of the driveway/road to the house and about 40 minutes later it takes you right to the entrance at the par. The house itself was beyond our expectations. It was clean, organized, and had all of the conveniences you could ask for. The bed was very comfortable, the bathrooms were spotless, and the kitchen was stocked with whatever we needed. We hope to visit the area again sometime and if we do, there is no doubt where we will stay. We really could not have asked for anything better.

Beautiful home!!! Extremely clean and comfortable. State of the art appliances. Beautiful sunset from the loveseat outside. Charles gave excellent suggestions for travel routes from Mammoth and not-to miss excursions ahead of time. He was present at check-in and made sure I had all of my questions answered. Don't hesitate a minute to book this property for your Yosemite trip!!

Top Notch Accommodations with a caveat.
House is brand new, IMMACULATE, comfortable, and spacious. Owner thought out every detail to make our stay comfortable. That being said, just for the owners information, I didn't like the bathroom sensor lights because I want the choice to turn on the lights, specially in the middle of the night. Internet connection was spotty one night (out of 3) which interrupted our movie is all. Apart from those minor details, the accommodations were absolutely top notch. FYI to future guests, if you want both rooms, better tell the owner ahead (it was locked upon our arrival because we didn't bring guests.) 5-Star on almost everything. 4-Star on check in process because upon arrival, we had to leave again to get internet connection to call the owner for the lock-box code. 4-Star on location due to gravel driveway which will soon be paved per the owner. 4-Star overall because rating would not allow a 4.5. For the right price, I would stay here again.

Very helpful host!
The Lilac is a lovely property. Clean, all amenities that could be needed, and brand new! Less than an hour from Yosemite National Park, which is where we spent our days during our stay. The host is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, as he used to give tours at Yosemite. We highly recommend this property, and would definitely stay here again if we are able to visit again!

Beautiful New Property
We were excited to find a house 15 minutes closer to Yosemite than Mariposa. The house is a brand new listing and was immaculately clean. Perhaps because it is a new listing, there were some stricter rules than most places we have stayed. For example, no non-paying guests are allowed to visit. Assuming you are comfortable with the house rules, this is a no-brainer over a Mariposa hotel.

Lilac House near Yosemite
We had a wonderful stay at the lilac house near Yosemite. Charles are host was very gracious. Showed us everything about the house. It was brand new, wonderfully decorated and very roomy. It’s a perfect vacation home for a family or just a couple. It was well furnished and the kitchen had all the supplies you could use to prepare any meals The location is about 40 minutes from Yosemite national Park. It’s a bit of a drive but staying at Lilac house was well worth it.
