Inside Yosemite N.P. Gates, our luxury home is minutes from valley attractions.

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.

Attractions and distances

The distance from Yosemite West to famous landmarks are: Badger Pass Ski Area 6.5 miles (10,5 km), Tunnel View 8.3 miles (13,4 km), Bridalveil Falls 9.8 miles (15,8 km), Wawona Hotel 12.4 miles (20 km), Ahwahnee Hotel 15.9 miles (25,6 km), Glacier Point 16.2 miles (26 km) and El Portal 21.7 miles (35 km).

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.

Great location! Great house!
The house is located very conveniently. We were able to get to all the famous spots (falls, valley visitor center, sequoia trees, etc) within 30 min. The house is big with beautiful views of mountains. Also, kids loved seeing bears, deers, and chipmunks! The host Vonnie responded to all the messages promptly and was very helpful.

Wonderful family vacation in Yosemite National Park
This lodge is incredible! The location is perfect and it is such an advantage to stay inside the park! Vonnie is a very thoughtful, gracious and very responsive host. We enjoyed meeting her! The lodge is great for families or multiple couples since every room has it's own bathroom. We loved the kitchen - the spaciousness and how well it is stocked....there was nothing Vonnie did not think of! The sunsets from the porch are incredible. The game room was enjoyable with pool table and tons of games, movies and books for adults and children! I could go on and on with how wonderful the lodge is and how we did not want to leave! We look forward to staying here again and hope to catch up with Vonnie too! Thank you for an incredible and memorable vacation!

Amazing place. A real privilege to stay here. Everything and more in the kitchen and upstairs games room. We ate out on the deck and watched the sun set. Plenty of room for six of us to spread out. Easy access to Yosemite Valley and Winona.

We enjoyed a fall vacation at the Peregrine Lodge with our adult children. The house was excellent and had everything for a great stay. The kitchen is well equipped. Also, the location inside the park enabled us to get an early start on our hikes and outings. Vonnie was very responsive and an excellent host. We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Lodge
We had a peaceful and wonderful stay at Peregrine Lodge. The location was great and very close to the park, hotels and grove so it was perfect. The house is decorated beautifully, it is well stocked, has games & movies, outdoor area is wonderful and beds are comfortable. One of the beds was a little firm but we like them on the soft side. I would recommend staying here and when we return to Yosemite, this lodge will be our choice.

Great Lodge and Location!
We had the pleasure of staying at Peregrine lodge with our 3 young children, and the accommodations were great. I can't think of a better location to stay inside the park, there is so much that is close by. David was a great host and was there to attend our every need. The kitchen was great for cooking, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the 3rd floor playroom. We will be coming back sometime soon to enjoy this property again with our family.
