Can I fit this review into 2500 characters in this little box? I HOPE SO! We did a lot of research and landed on this particular property and I'm so glad we did. We had 8 adults and 9 children- 4 separate families- and SO enjoyed the space of this cabin. The cousins all slept downstairs in the bunk room and the adults all had a bedroom which was so nice. The kitchen was really spacious and had everything we needed- really above and beyond what we thought would be there. Even a baby gate! Lots of extra pillows, blankets, comfortable beds, etc. We loved the fireplace at night when it cooled down too!
We drove into Yosemite Valley everyday- tunnel view is about a 40 minute drive from this cabin... pretty much as close as you can get! We also loved the proximity to the Chilnualna Falls- just a ten minute walk from the deck- we did that several times with the kids. (Ages 5 months- 8 years.) Being in the valley absolutely blew our minds- so incredibly beautiful, we could have stayed forever.
Al at the check in area was very knowledgeable and gave us some great tips, super friendly and kind. They even have some cute t shirts and hats there in case you need a souvenir!
In three days, we did Yosemite Falls, visitor center and Indian village, the hike to Mirror Lake and Half Dome, camp four and midnight lightning, Bridalveil Falls, and did a big chunk of the valley floor loop down to the base of El Capitan to watch all of the climbers. I think when our babies are bigger we will go back and do the Mist Trail, among other things. Can't beat tunnel view! Wish we had more time.
When we return we will 100% book The Legacy again. I'm actually sad I'm not there right now.
Couple things to consider- we needed like nine million more kitchen towels. We were given two and a sponge, which we used in about two seconds. Also, maybe some cleaning supplies- one little kid got sick and it would have been helpful to have some chlorox or disinfectant. And a mop for sticky floors at the end of the day. Next time we will pack those things.
Thank you for a wonderful home away from home! We can't wait to book again and come back!
