We just returned from our 3 day stay at Bonanza Chalet and everyone in the family (from 9 to 71) had a wonderful time! The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and well stocked with thoughtful amenities for both human and canine guests. (We were also treated to a complimentary bottle of wine, while our 3 chihuahuas were welcomed with a fluffy dog bed, a raised food and water station, and complimentary dog treats and poop bags...). The hot tub was a great spot to relax under the moon and stars after a long day in Yosemite and the Sugarpine Railroad train ride, and the covered patio table under the string lights was a great place for evening family BBQ and card games. The grandkids loved exploring up on the large granite outcroppings and finding "secret spots" among the manzanita. On our last morning we even had a herd of 7 deer taking their own sweet time meandering along the edge of the patio!
The family agreed that Bonanza Chalet was definitely a winner, and the host's care and attention to detail for the guests' (and pups!) comfort and convenience was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend, especially with kids and pets!
