The place was clean and good enough considering the lack of options in and around Yosemite.
Very overpriced, an obnoxious amount of rules and threats of further fees, lack of legitimate A/C (They have a noisy standalone unit in one room), the unit is an old vertical townhouse (lots of stairs and narrow corridors), per-person charging, and a nonexistent refund policy (no matter how early you book or what the circumstance is, you lose 100% of what you paid if you don't cancel in the first 24 hours. No matter of emergency, wildfires, etc).
Regarding the obnoxious list of rules - you'll receive long lists of details, rules and requirements numerous times via email before your stay, the few days leading up to the stay, and the morning you are checking out. They also have rules printed out and posted all over the unit (very obnoxious). They want to know exactly when you are getting there (you'll be prompted multiple times for this info via initial form and then again via email), exactly how many people you have staying, and exactly how many vehicles you have. All 3 will cost you if not within the very specific constraints (late check-in costs according to their posting, you'll pay extra per person, and an extra car also requires a fee).
The icing on the cake was they had the nerve to ask me to bag all of our trash from the trash cans and then take them to a separate dumpster location that you must drive to, despite the fact that they charge you a cleaning fee.
The owners should feel shame.
I can't not understand the sycophants who wrote the other reviews. I'm a seasoned traveler with hundreds of stays in various lodging situations. This wasn't the worst ever, but it was not a good value. Totally capitalizing on the lack of options in and around Yosemite.
The company gets away with these practices due to Yosemite’s limited lodging. Lack of real competition keeps poor business alive and results from a concession-based operating system within the park and strict restrictions on new private development.

Fun stay at cozy bear
Good location, 30-40 mins to Yosemite valley
Nice patio area
Check in and check out process is great
Clean indoors and everything worked
Cheaped out on some basics like soaps, toilet paper, cloth hangers etc. could get better quality stuff
Outside could be better maintained. Spider webs and dust.
It is not a big place. 4 people can definitely manage but may find it hard longer term if you like your space. Only one bathroom.
A bit too much bear decor. Though that's the vibe of the area I guess
Trash dropoff is far and hosts require you to drop it off
Pretty expensive for what it is if you exclude the location factor
It's a 2-3 mile drive indoor from the highway through narrow, winding roads. Getting there at night can be hard.

Very cozy indeed!
Nice location located in between Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove. Staying here helped us maximize our Yosemite experience! Beds were comfortable, rooms were clean, and it was nice to have access to the kitchen which was stocked with all of the dishes and kitchen items you might need. Loved the complementary coffee and tea!!
