About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Enjoy Yosemite In Peace And Comfort.
Stay inside the gates of Yosemite National Park without the hassles associated with the accommodations offered in Yosemite Valley. You will not have to battle traffic or fight for parking in Yosemite West, nor will you be choking on campfire smoke. Yosemite West is extremely peaceful and quiet even during the big holiday weekends. You can save lots of money by preparing your own meals in the spacious and fully equipped kitchen while enjoying the sunset on the edge of the wilderness. Note this is a duplex and the owner/groundskeeper lives in the separated (100% firewall) unit below and to the right.

Weekend getaway
My family and I had a blast! This place was spacious and clean and the perfect location being a short drive down to the valley. My girls (12, 12, and 5 years old) enjoyed the area around the cabin exploring and building snowmen. The owner was super friendly and communicative. Highly recommend! I hope to come back again!

Very nice place inside the park. Owner thought of about every thing we may need, including flour for our sausage gravy, motion lights for going to restroom at night ,Shampoo/conditioner/bodywash. Comfortable livingroom furniture . Couch was used to sleep on by my nephew, no complaints. Yosemite is great, if prone to car sickness need to ride up front. Enjoy!windeDo take note

Amazing Yosemite
Bill was quick to answer questions prior to stay and during the stay. The power company was doing a rolling power outage and Bill came over to check on us and let us know about supplies in the condo we might need due to the outage. It only lasted a few hours though. The condo was laid out well for a family of 5 and the main area seemed larger than the pictures appeared in the listing. Beds slept well and the condo was clean. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking items. It was the last week of July, so without air conditioning it was warm in the condo, but we were not there much, too many things to explore. Would recommend this condo and would stay here again.

Great location and friendly owner.
This is a great location for seeing Yosemite NP. It's inside the gates, so no waiting in line at the entrances. The house had plenty of room and was reasonably clean. The master bed was a bit funky and made the occupants roll toward the center, but

Lovely location
My family and I stayed one night before heading out for a backpacking trip.
Pros: beautiful property and amazing locations. Owner communicated everything we needed to know about entering the park to access the property. Easy check in. So many movies, it was great.
Cons: the couch and lazy boy seemed pretty dirty but were very comfortable. Smelled a little mildewy inside but not too bad. No coffee to start the day (I’m used to properties having at least one day of coffee but this is obviously not a requirement). There were no throw or extra blankets that I could find.
Overall a nice place.

No air conditioning.
There is no air conditioning in this home. We visited in July and it was terribly hot and the house didn’t cool off until well after midnight with the windows open. Very uncomfortable if you get hot weather. Also, the house has a bad ant infestation in the kitchen and master bath. The online description failed to mention there is an extra charge per person. We initially booked for three people and then our adult son decided to join us and we were hit with an extra fee when we arrived. Overall a very mediocre experience and I wouldn’t stay there again.

Quiet, Restful
Location (Yosemite West) was perfect for getting to the trails and activities we chose. Bill (owner) was gracious with his time and was so helpful with information to 1st timers to Yosemite. No issues regarding no A/C. We were able to regulate the temperature by opening the windows and letting the wonderful breeze flow through the house.

This property worked well for us. Good location and access to Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point and Mariposa. Tioga road was still closed when we visited. Two bedrooms in the basement were nice for cooler sleeping. Two nice bathrooms, one on each level were well lit and clean. There were only two of us but several could stay at this house comfortably.

Perfect home base for Yosemite
I stayed here with my wife and our infant son for a 4-day trip to Yosemite. You can anywhere in the valley within about 30 minutes, and this house is also nicely situated to visit Glacier Point, Wawona, or the Mariposa Grove. The house is 2 levels, with the kitchen, living room, 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom on the top level, and 2 more bedrooms and another bathroom on the lower level. It's nicely laid our to give everyone some room to roam, and the views from the deck are beautiful. The space was clean, well equipped, and well maintained. Highly recommended!
