Luxury Vacation Home Rental
Located inside the gates of Yosemite National Park, our 3 bedroom (plus a den with a pull out couch), 3 bath 3200 square foot multi-level luxury home will delight and enchant you. We are just a short drive to both Badger Pass Ski Area and the Yosemite Valley for your ice skating, snow shoeing, and skiing adventures if we have snow in December or for early spring (April). During the summer months, we are located within 20 minutes of the Valley floor and 6 miles from the turn off on the 41 to get to Glacier Point.
The benefits of staying at our home inside Yosemite National Park are many. By actually being inside the National Park gates, you avoid the long lines going in and out of the entrance stations. At peak season, this can be an hour or more wait time just to enter the park. This allows you to experience leisurely mornings enjoying the peace and solitude of our quiet community before taking off to see the many attractions in the park.
After a day of soaking up the wonders of Yosemite, our home is only a short drive out of the crowded valley where you will return and enjoy the evening in the great lounge taking in the sunset through our picture windows while relaxing in our comfortable and cozy furniture. Weather permitting, enjoy the grand deck while observing birds and wildlife such as coyotes, squirrels, black bears and deer. Sit back and relax while watching the sunset turn to a glorious star-filled sky. Find the constellations and count the shooting stars. This is a place away from the crowded Yosemite Valley floor, a place for evening relaxation. Sit back and enjoy the wind whispering through the cedars, pines and dogwoods.
While campers in the valley experience the haze and smog of hundreds of campfires, you will marvel at the clear night skies while listening to the sounds of the forest from the large decks! You will love our starry nights and pine scented mornings at Yosemite Peregrine Lodge. This is a clean, well maintained home that offers the ideal home base for your Yosemite experience. Views, mature pines and peace. Please, no smoking, no pets.

Our Home
The Yosemite Peregrine Lodge is a multi-level 3200 square foot home suitable for couples, families and executive retreats. Unusual for most homes in the Yosemite West community, the Peregrine Lodge is situated on a rather level area. This means you do not have to negotiate the steep stairs that earmark many houses.
Entering the home through a door on the same level as the parking, you will find easy access for the unloading of your luggage. There you will find entry to three guest bedrooms.
Sleeping Accommodations
Each bedroom has both interior and exterior entries. They each have their own sink and shower, entry to their own private deck area, and a unique and beautiful floor to ceiling fireplace. As an added benefit of the bedrooms being situated on the first level, you will experience privacy from the activity of the upper floor with the great room, dining room, kitchen and loft.
This separation and intimate setting makes this home uniquely suited for multiple couples, families or groups to have a space of their own. The unique and cozy rooms are thematic in nature.
Living Area
The main floor features a living room with a floor to ceiling rock fireplace with a design of Yosemite Falls. The plush and comfortable furniture in the great room will embrace you after a long day of exploring the park.
Huge soaring windows in the great room opening west affords views of the forest and evening sunsets.
A pool table, puzzles and games, satellite TV, DVD players and WIFI. This is an ideal home for those who are seeking upscale luxurious accommodations for family, friends, coworkers or groups.
We do not provide access to a laundry, however, there is a convenient laundry mat at the condos a short walking distance down the road.
Internet availability
There is WiFi offered at the lodge. We use StarLink which has proven to be such a great advantage being in this remote location. We had such issues in the past with satellite dish and past technologies due to our home being at 6,000 feet elevation and surrounded by tall sugar pines and cedar trees which made it difficult to receive clear signals. We now have unlimited access to the internet. At times, it may be slower than what you might be used to in the big cities or urban areas, but has really been dependable.
You will also be able to find Wi-Fi Internet in the various hotels and lounges in Yosemite Valley, just a short drive from our location.
