A lovely property The cabin is very cozy and very well equipped. Communication with the owners since booking thru check-out was quick and informative. Because of our age, the stairs (ascent) were challenging only during our pack-up. We had no problem, we just paced ourselves. The last road up to the cabin was an adventure. We just prayed we would not encounter another car and we didn’t. It was the only aspect we said we wouldn’t miss! I would highly recommend this cabin.

The absolute PERFECT place to stay for your trip to Yosemite! 30 minutes from Yosemite Valley, 30 minutes from Glacier Point, and 30 minutes from Mariposa Grove; Everything you want to see without the crowds, Yosemite West is more than ideal! The cabin was wonderful! The host is so sweet too! The view is incredible from every window and the soaking tub was a life saver! We will definitely be back!

Perfect Yosemite Cabin for 2 We visited Yosemite for 4 days and this cabin was the perfect home base. The property is in a great central location with essentially equal driving distances to all of the park highlights including the valley, Glacier Point, and the Mariposa area. It was well appointed with everything we needed: fully stocked kitchen equipment, extra blankets, towels, even little touches like umbrellas, binoculars, lanterns, etc. We especially enjoyed the deck to watch the sunset and animals that appear around dusk like quails and deer. We would stay again on a future Yosemite trip!

Awesome winter getaway! Can’t say enough good things about this home and how beautiful it is to see. The winter visit was far better than we could have imagined with fresh snow and perfect temps. One note, if you don’t like stairs then maybe find another place as you have several stairs to the home, but we had no issue and the view far outweighed the work! There are a few minor things but nothing worth talking about here,as the home, view, and owners were incredible to work with for our stay. If going in

Excellent stay in a beautiful park The property was as described and wonderful. The care and attention paid to COVID conscious guests was refreshing and greatly appreciated. The cabin was beautiful and so comfortable we didn’t want to leave to go down to the Yosemite valley. We’re already looking forward to going back!
