- "Very good " - "The location is great. The house at the first glance is great, but several maintenance issues discounted our stay. The faucet tap of shower at the bathroom on the first floor is broken. My wife and I had to use one hand to hold the tap to have a hot water shower. The flush of toilet at the one of the bathrooms on the 2nd floor doesn't work well. So, my friend couple had to get down to use toilet. The bedstead in the main bedroom on the 2nd floor is so fragile that it was broken in the morning of the second day. When I called the Management to report the problem and ask for help, nobody answered the phone. We got no response even I left messages for twice. We had to help another couple to move the mattress to the floor. Otherwise, they wouldn't have a space to sleep on the 2nd night. Except the above issues, the overall stay is comfortable."

- "The listing said a/c; no a/c. Rental agency said hotels.com fraudulently included a/c. DIRTIEST place we've ever stayed: foil under burners was disgusting; dirty silverware in drawers; grill dirty; drawer under oven dirty; thick dust in many locations; previous tenant's jellybean on side table, etc Not all stove burners worked Comfortable sofa, recliner, bed Plenty of storage in bedroom and bathroom. Although the listing shows stairs down to the lower unit and a flight up to the upper, it neglects to mention that the first set of stairs is equivalent to 4 1/2 flights. The shower doesn't get hot, just lukewarm. Communication was problematic: when I called, there were multiple problems: on hold 10 minutes, then call dropped; call went to voice mail; even when I had good cell service, employee often couldn't hear me. Priscilla kept insisting that I e-sign a document I never received and she refused to describe. Railings left splinters. Quiet neighborhood "

Planning a visit to Yosemite? Adventure Awaits! With its majestic vistas, powerful waterfalls, outstanding recreation and connections to history, few places refresh the spirit like the treasured Yosemite National Park.

Of course you’ll want a perfect home base, and our Royal Retreat offers something very rare - a two-bedroom modern mountain home inside Yosemite gates, that is peaceful and avoids crowds and lines. Boasting two king bedrooms, Royal Retreat is perfect for two couples. Located at 5,500 feet, it provides an escape from the heat on the Valley floor in the summer and proximity to fun at Badger Pass in the winter.

Located inside the park gates, in the Yosemite West neighborhood, Royal Retreat is approximately 20-30 minutes from popular attractions, including the Valley floor and its breathtaking waterfalls, Glacier Point, and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoia Trees. It sure beats long drives from outside the gates or sitting in lines for hours! Even lodging just a few miles outside the gates can mean over 1-hour waits or being forced to start vacation days before 7 am to beat the crowds. Not very easy for most families to manage! Not so at Royal Retreat; Start each day on your own schedule.

Royal Retreat is a modern home. You can feel the care that went into each detail, from the rustic Shaker-style cabinets and doors to the handmade wooden staircase. One of the unique features is you do not climb stairs to access the front door. This is rare in our area; most rentals are on a hill, and you haul your bags up flights of stairs to enter. Also unique is central air conditioning for your comfort, more functional than mini-splits and not common in our area. Royal Retreat's guest bedroom, which offers a king-size bed, is on the first floor with a bathroom right across the hall, making it perfect for guests who are less mobile.

In terms of amenities, Royal Retreat offers luxury upon luxury. The home is fully equipped - towels, linens, dishes, cookware. You only need to bring yourself, your food/drink, and a good time!

Royal Retreat offers beautiful views of the forest from its rooms. The living room and loft are especially relaxing; both receive ample sunlight and showcase peaceful views of the trees surrounding the property. If you want to grill, the covered deck gives you the luxury of being outside, while still providing shelter from the sun or rain.

We have another unit on site-Serenity Suite, directly below Royal Retreat. All of your space is separate and private including your parking area, entrance and deck. You will not need to interact with other guests, but consideration for those living below you is appreciated.

Royal Retreat is already booking for the 2024 season. Contact us today to make your reservation!

TV/Entertainment: There is no TV service at our home. We have a DVD video library with a variety of titles including Yosemite related films. Streaming entertainment is available using your own entertainment account.

Cell Service: There is NO cell service at our home. We provide a landline phone with long distance calling options. We can advise you on areas of the park with cell service. Wi-Fi calling is available to support the use of your cell phone without cell signal.

Internet and Wi-Fi: We live in a remote area. Internet is Starlink Satellite. Due to the forested and mountainous location, certain functions such as live video (i.e. Zoom) are generally limited and performance will vary.

Maximum occupancy: 4 humans, any ages. (5 humans low season Nov 1 - Mar 31, or when otherwise offered in the listing details). When maximum occupancy is listed at 4, one infant under 6 months old may be added to this, at no charge (no extra guest fee). Humans over 6 months old must be booked as children so we can charge for them according to our policy. When maximum occupancy is listed as 5, all humans, including infants under 6 months, count towards this maximum, but infants under 6 months are no charge.

- "Beautiful new property with no waiting in line to get in the park! We stayed in July so it was hot during the day, but at night it cooled off enough that we could open the many windows and let the breeze in which bought with it the wonderful scent of the Incense Cedars growing all around the house. The beds are very comfortable, and the bedrooms are spacious. Kitchen is laid out well and has plenty of dinnerware, glasses, cups, etc. We spent a lot of time on the big back deck which was a great place to relax or dine after a day of hiking. The houses are close together so you will hear your neighbors, but everyone quieted down by 10 or so while we were there per the neighborhood rules. One of my favorite features was the big mud room entrance where you can sit on a bench and take off your dusty boots before coming in. Plenty of hooks to hang your packs too. Communication with the owners was great. Would definitively stay here again."

Tree Haven is located in Yosemite West, just 16 miles from Yosemite Valley and 18 miles from Vernal Falls. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking, and free Wifi.

Planning an unforgettable Yosemite adventure? Lucky you! With its iconic trails, rugged peaks, and endless opportunities for exploration, few places in the world offer such an incredible outdoor experience.

Of course, you’ll want accommodations to match your adventurous spirit—comfortable, convenient, and inside the park gates. Serenity Suite is exactly that: a high-quality, well-equipped King Suite designed for an active couple who wants to make the most of their time in Yosemite. At 5,500 feet elevation, Serenity Suite provides an escape from the summer heat on the Valley floor and is just minutes from Badger Pass Ski Area in winter. Whether you’re here for hiking, climbing, birdwatching, or photography, you found the perfect home base for your visit.

Located inside the park gates, in the Yosemite West neighborhood, you’re only 20-30 minutes from top attractions like Glacier Point, Yosemite Valley, and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. Unlike stays outside the park, you won’t waste time in long lines or have to start your day at dawn just to beat the crowds. Here, your adventure runs on your schedule.

A Best-In-Class Stay for Couples Who Explore
Serenity Suite is of modern construction, built with careful attention to detail and high-end finishes. Guests always rave about the quality of the home, from the exceptionally comfortable King bed to the large covered deck surrounded by towering trees.
You’ll find:
✔ Fully equipped kitchen with quality appliances for easy meal prep
✔ Marble & granite countertops for a polished, high-end feel
✔ Soothing jetted tub—perfect after a long day on the trails
✔ Central air conditioning (a rare luxury in this area!)
Everything is provided—linens, towels, cookware, and dishes—so all you need to bring is your gear, your sense of adventure, and your favorite food and drinks.

As you can see in our pictures, Serenity Suite features an open floor plan with extra-high, lofted ceilings that make the space feel even larger. The design features plentiful natural light and peaceful views of the surrounding forest. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook meals before or after your adventures. Outside, a spacious covered deck with a barbecue offers a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a well-earned dinner after a full day in the park. It’s nearly impossible to find this kind of private retreat, especially oriented to two people, elsewhere in Yosemite and still stay central to everything.

Know Before You Book
✔ Lower-Level of a Thoughtfully Designed Duplex – Serenity Suite is located below our other home, Royal Retreat (designed specifically for two couples). Your space is fully separate and private, including your entrance, deck, and parking area.
✔ Access via 18 Stairs – The entrance to Serenity Suite is down an 18-step stairway, which is extra-wide for easy luggage transport.
✔ Normal Footstep Sounds from Above – As this is a lower unit, you may hear occasional footfall from the home above. We’ve built with soundproofing, and past guests have been satisfied, but please expect some normal sounds of occupancy.
✔ Who This Home is Best Suited For – Serenity Suite is designed for active couples who want an adventure-first experience. If your goal is to stay inside all day or have an entertainment-heavy trip, this may not be the best fit.
✔ Maximum Occupancy – Normally 2 people. Infants under 6 months may be added at no charge. Seasonally, we may allow 3 guests (any age), with an additional charge for the third guest, except for infants under 6 months.
✔ We welcome guests from all walks of life and believe in warm hospitality and creating a space where all guests feel valued and respected. We appreciate guests who are considerate and respectful of our home and community.

Technology & Connectivity
✔ Internet & Wi-Fi – We provide top of the line satellite internet, but due to our remote, forested location, performance varies. Live video calls (Zoom, FaceTime, etc.) may not be reliable.
✔ No Cell Service – Like many areas within Yosemite, our home does not have cellular signal. However, we provide a landline phone with long-distance calling and Wi-Fi calling is available.
✔ TV/Entertainment – No cable TV. We offer a DVD library, including Yosemite-related films. You can also stream entertainment using your own accounts (subject to internet conditions), but let’s be honest—you’re here for the trails, not the screen!

- "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hot shower and comfortable bed were much appreciated after our wonderful hay hikes each day." - "This location is perfect for exploring Yosemite Valley! You only have to enter the park once and are in! We loved every minute of our stay! We will definitely be back!!" - "This property was everything we could have asked for and more at Yosemite. The location is central to Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point, and Mariposa Grove - and within the park gates! We had an amazing time exploring the park!"

With free private parking, the property is 16 miles from Yosemite Valley and 18 miles from Vernal Falls. Outdoor seating is also available at the vacation home. Providing a balcony, this vacation home also provides guests with a satellite TV, a well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, an oven, and a microwave, as well as 1 bathroom with a shower and a hair dryer.

- "a welcome refuge after a long drive having spent 5 days in vegas!" - "Great cabin." - "lovely, enjoyable stay in a beautiful park"

Need a relaxing refuge to retreat to after a day of adventuring among the natural wonders of Yosemite National Park? Our warm and inviting home is located inside the park gates equidistant from the celebrated features of Yosemite: the namesake Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point, the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias and 800 miles of hiking trails. Over and over guests tell us that when they come back at the end of the day, they feel like they are coming home.

Alpine Escape is a 760 square foot (70 square meter), one-bedroom apartment. You will enjoy a fully-equipped kitchen with full-size, quality appliances, granite countertops and a full complement of cooking equipment (pots, pans, coffee maker, blender, and so on). Knotty alder cabinets in the kitchen, bath and bedroom and knotty alder doors and trim throughout give a warm feel to the home. We live upstairs in our own apartment while you have the ground floor with a completely separate entrance.

For your comfort, we have central heat (propane) and a gas fireplace to keep you warm in winter and air conditioning (Fujitsu mini-split) to keep you cool on hot days.

The living/dining area has a table for four, a large sofa and a 47" flat-screen television for watching movies from our DVD collection or streaming on Roku, Netflix or Paramount Plus.

The bedroom features a queen bed with a built-in knotty alder closet. An alcove off the living room provides bedding for up to two additional guests on a daybed and pullout trundle with memory foam mattresses. The trundle is at floor level, so it is great for younger kids, but perhaps not so great for older adults! Alpine Escape is the perfect size for a couple or a family with one or two children. It can work for four adults if the bedding is acceptable, but we don't recommend it for two couples traveling together.

Outside you have a small, covered patio and a sitting area with a pergola and a sunshade where guests often enjoy breakfast or an afternoon glass of wine.

We are near the end of a quiet street, the perfect starting point for an evening stroll. Some winter mornings, we've woken to the laughter of young kids happily sledding down the road in front of our house (and observant parents keeping their eyes open for the occasional vehicle). There are places nearby to go for walks with excellent birding and wildflowers, including what may be the best display of Evening Primroses in the entire park right in our front yard (in the early 1900s the Evening Primroses were a major attraction in Yosemite Valley and the subject of some of the first hand-tinted color photos ever taken, but there are now only a handful scattered around the Valley). There are some good, flat and steep running and walking trails at the top of the neighborhood, about a five-minute drive away.

But of course, you are coming to Yosemite for the soaring granite cliffs, massive sequoia trees and tremendous views. Yosemite West is located inside the park entrance, and sits near an intersection of the roads leading to the park's most famous features: Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. These popular park destinations are all within 15-18 miles (30-35 minutes) from Yosemite West in three different directions. The Badger Pass ski area is only seven miles away providing access to Yosemite's winter wonders, including XC ski and snowshoe trails, as well as lift-served skiing and snowboarding. If you're looking to eat out, the restaurants of Yosemite Valley are about 30 minutes away, while the Wawona Hotel, which welcomed Theodore Roosevelt on his 1903 trip to Yosemite, is about 30 minutes in the opposite direction.

We also pride ourselves on our depth of knowledge of the park and our willingness to share that knowledge. Since 1985, we have been coming to the park for the world-class rock climbing and have been living here full time since April 2003. We're hikers, climbers, backcountry skiers and wildflower enthusiasts and general naturalists. In past years, we have worked as Assistant Manager of the Yosemite Mountaineering School running the hiking program (Theresa), a park ranger (Tom), ski instructors (both). Through those experiences, and through helping our guests over the years, we have wealth of information that we are willing to share to help you make the most of your time in Yosemite whether it's a couple of days or a couple of weeks!

Note also: we have a security camera that overlooks the front yard and the road. This helps us see that guests have arrived safely. When we are gone, it also lets us know when guests have left so we can let the cleaner know people have left and he doesn't have to keep swinging by to see if he can clean yet. And finally the public works plowing supervisor uses the camera to see if he needs to send a plow crew. Only authenticated users have access (that is, this is not a public webcam).

- "Well appointed and comfortable. Easy in and out with no stairs. Fireplace gave great ambiance and no firewood required. Best part you are within the Yosemite gates so no waiting in line to get in." - "This home was extremely clean and had everything you could possibly needed to feel right at home. Tom was friendly and a proactive communicator. I would definitely stay here again." - "Loved staying at this place. Went snowshoeing for the day then rest and chill! Everything was wonderful and perfect. Clean, comfortable, and easy. Tom was soooo helpful and we will definitely be back!!! A+ in our book!"

- "Perfect location in West Yosemite for easy, quick access to Yosemite NP, beat the crowds, maximize park time, etc. Lori was very helpful and responsive to questions and access was simple and easy. The stairs on the mountainside are significant, but well worth being in such a great and beautiful location. The property could use some updating on furnishings and interior, but no reason to spend much time indoors in this gorgeous corner of the world. Thanks!"

Their “Cabin” is in perfect condition, in the perfect location for your perfect Yosemite visit. 5 Stars is not nearly enough." - "Johnson Cabin and its location are both amazing. The cabin is inside the park, so you only have to enter the park once upon arrival. A beautiful 30-minute drive to/from the valley, past stunning waterfalls, changing vistas of the valley, and lots of turn-outs for stopping - plus two tunnels. The cabin was spotless, and the kitchen was the most well stocked we have ever had. Views of El Cap and Half Dome from the living room and the deck. Comfortable beds - upstairs "suite". Lloyd was readily accessible via phone/text, very friendly, and really helpful. Beautiful walks around the cabin, too - Foresta Creek and Falls, vistas from behind the cabin, and up the road from the cabin. Gorgeous peaceful, serene setting - more than worth every penny."

- "Excellent location and beautiful house." - "Very nice home, with an awesome deck to bbq off of" - "Perfect Yosemite Escape"

This cabin is one of the few properties that is actually located inside Yosemite National Park, with the shortest drive to Yosemite Village. The 7 mile drive from the cabin to Yosemite Village is a breathtaking descent with plenty of iconic photo opportunities.

We’ve been renting our beautiful cabin for 15 years now and have never received a negative review. However, we were previously listed on a private site and have just now made the switch to VRBO, which is why we have no reviews (yet!).

This beautiful, custom-built, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin is perfect for your Yosemite basecamp. We can accommodate up to 5 guests with a truly comfy pullout queen sofa couch, in addition to the 2 upstairs bedrooms.

After a day of hiking and exploring the park, return home to your quiet cabin with its well stocked kitchen and outdoor propane grill, for a lovely dinner on the deck while watching the sun set over the sierras. Both the front and back decks have tables and chairs for group outdoor dining. If you want a break from the crowds in the park, the Foresta area where are cabin is located, is the perfect area to explore on foot from your front door.

We’ve put so much love, care, and thoughtfulness into this cabin, all of which will be apparent when you first step foot inside. Our housekeeper lives next door and takes care of it as though it were her own. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Road conditions in the Foresta area; there is a main paved road into the Foresta area. The access roads to the cabins, are hard, dirt/gravel packed roads that are fine during summer/fall dry months, however, they can be more difficult with snow and ice on the ground.

For my winter guests, I want to make sure they understand winter road issues. The Foresta area of the park doesn't often get a great deal of snow, but that said, every winter there will be one, or two, good snow falls that can make access to the cabin difficult. Winter of 2022-23 was an exceptional doozy for snow! The park actually closed due to snow for over two weeks!

The county plows the main paved road into the Foresta area, where these cabins are located, but not the access roads. We have some local plowing and snow blowers to try to clear the approximately 1/4 mile access road to our cabin, but the dirt/gravel road would be too damaged by a plow to clear to dirt level.
The ideal vehicle for a winter visit would have 4-wheel drive with higher clearance.

The park service states that during the months of November - April, all visitors should be carrying snow tire cables and know how to use them. Call NPS road & weather, prior to your departure.

- "Stayed with my brother for our annual blow out trip. The cabin was quiet, clean and very comfortable. BBQed every night and ate dinner on the deck. Very easy and close drive to the Yosemite Valley for hiking. I highly recommend the cabin." - "Three of us had a wonderful 4-night stay at Owl Moon Cabin and would definitely stay again!! The property was immaculate and had everything we needed. It was a great home base for visiting Yosemite. We loved the times we woke up slowly with coffee out on the front porch and also the days we were so tired from hiking all day that we could head back to the cabin to clean up and relax before putting together an easy dinner. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking and serving dishes to make it happen. The location is excellent in terms of proximity to places you want to be in the park and in terms of Forests being a lovely quiet neighborhood to come home to. We didn’t use the pull-out, but the two beds upstairs were super comfortable. The bathrooms were spacious and showers were hot and had good pressure. Communication with our host, Lucy, was excellent and check-in was very easy. Can’t say enough good things!!"

At just over 6000 feet, our lodge will get more snow than the Valley itself. If you want to have a higher probability of being in the snow, you will want to be in Yosemite West.

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.

- "Vonnie was very communicative and clear with instructions into the property and regarding the surrounding area. It was a perfect location close to all attractions. Thanks again and hope to be back soon!" - "Staying here was an excellent time. At first I was concerned a bit about hearing other people in the lodge, but the insulation seems to be good so we barely heard anyone else. For being just a room, it still offers most of what you need, including coffee, shower, a fireplace. A great time overall."

- "When I first saw this listing, I wasn't sold on the condo idea, however we wanted to stay in the park. I was so surprised with this property on how cozy it felt and how secluded we felt, even with tenants above us. In my opinion the pictures do not do it justice! All the amenities you may need! Very much recommend this great property!" - "Beautiful cozy getaway and very close to the valley floor and inside the park. Just a few minutes to Glacier Point Road. No place nearby to eat but there is a hood sized fridge and freezer, outdoor bbq, and microwave. There is some construction ongoing on the adjacent lot with music and some noise but not terrible. We appreciated the thought ful touches including the bottle of wine and the snacks they left for us."

- "The property was clean and of an ideal size for a family of 4. The fact that it is located within the Yosemite National Park saves a lot of time when going to visit the Valley or going to Badger Pass Ski (15 minutes drive for both unless snowy). An advantage of the property is that the parking is at the same level as the main entrance. May seem like a little thing, but when it snows and it becomes icy, you can see the advantage over the neighbour's houses. There were warnings on the effectiveness of the Satellite Internet access but I must say that it was acceptable, only when it snowed would the connectivity be broken, on sunny, non-windy, days it was good for e-mail and reading news. Bring all the food, and drinks, you need for your stay as the closest stores or restaurants are either in Wawona or at the Yosemite Valley Centre."

- "Very nice lodge and room in an excellent location. My second trip to Yosemite and second stay in Yosemite West. I love this location. Yosemite West is very convenient and more affordable and easier to book than a stay in the valley floor. Room was great with several nice touches, like snacks and fresh ground coffee." - "The place was relaxing, cozy and easy to get to. With the activities we had planned, this was a perfect location and the whirl pool and fireplace were wonderful after a day of xc skiing. The property manager’s communication with us was very good so that we had no trouble knowing exactly what to expect."

- "We really enjoyed our stay. This cabin is great for a large group. Reading reviews, I thought it wouldn't be very well stocked. It had everything we needed but hot mittens. The kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans, utensils. Just doesn't have things like foil, plastic wrap. The cabin had a porta crib, high chair, baby bath, fans. My only glitch was my own dumb mistake of writing down the business address and not the cabin address but there is a phone system there so I was able to get the actual address. Very happy with our stay."
