The Ahweanee in Foresta, Inside Yosemite National Park

We call our cabin, The Ahweanee,' because we designed it in the motif of the grand Ahwahnee Hotel, but at only 1,250 square feet of house and another 1,250 square feet of deck, it is so much smaller. Master bedroom has a queen bed plus den. There is also a sofa bed in the great room with an extra mattress for the sofa bed stored in the master closet.

Lodging in the Valley
Perfect quiet location within the park. Easy to drive to and from and throughout the park. Views are beautiful from the rear/deck and private. Home is tastefully appointed and very cozy and homey. Only issue we had was getting spa to heat. Otherwise fabulous stay.

We loved our stay at The Ahweanee. The cabin is located in a beautiful spot with amazing views from the deck. What made our stay more special was how well it is stocked for a family with a good washer and dryer, grill, oven and a big fridge along with central cooling and wifi! All meals we cooked easily from home. We slept so well and were at Yosemite village in 15 minutes by car. Would definitely stay again.

Peaceful Sanctuary
The beautiful home is nestled in the Yosemite National Park in Foresta ( a short 25 minutes to the Yosemite Valley and Village!). My family and I had all the comforts of home! The home has gorgeous views looking out into the pine forest! All the basic necessities were provided for us; beds made up with soft linens and down blankets, bath towels and soaps for laundry, including washer and dryer! Our host, Jessica Chaney was very gracious and responded to my questions promptly! My family and I highly recommend the property for a great and memorable family vacation!

Wonderful!
This is a beautiful home in a great location. The home is cozy and has everything you need, while the large deck is great for dinners and star gazing. We loved the window wall. We initially had a bit of trouble getting in touch with the property owner/manager to get answers to a couple of questions we had, but once we were put in touch they were very kind and helpful. We were disappointed to learn that the hot tub is not usable, but we enjoyed our stay regardless.

great Yosemite getaway
Wonderful cabin in prime Yosemite location. Few minutes drive down the valley, yet secluded and off the beaten path. Great amenities and lots of space. Hot tub was awesome after a long day of hiking. Would absolutely stay again!

Perfect property located inside park and just a short drive to Valley! Beautiful views from the huge deck. We loved the doors to the deck that we could open and enjoy the air. Property owner is so nice and responsive. Highly recommend and I hope to return again !

Cozy, comfy, and spacious getaway.
We had a most wonderful stay. The home had everything we needed. We will come again next year. The happy cabin was our get away but also home base for our adventures. Half Dome, Tanaya Lake, Tuolumne Meadows and Redwood Grove. The cabin's location was peaceful and serene and conveniently close to the Yosemite Valley.

Lovely cabin inside the park
This private home is located just above the Yosemite Valley floor. The home is lovely inside and out. We enjoyed the stars at night and coffee on the deck in the morning. We hiked, skied at Badger Pass, and enjoyed the view. A fun and relaxing get away.

Beautiful location!
Staying in Yosemite and close to the valley (25 min) makes the trip so much more enjoyable. We could get anywhere within the park in about an hour and avoided the long entrance lines. There was also a lot of wildlife off the deck which we loved seeing. Unit is very clean and owners are very responsive. We would definitely recommend!

Great peaceful house close to park!
It was so great to stay at this wonderful house and only have to drive about 25 minutes to Yosemite Valley! We bought all our groceries at Pioneer Market in Mariposa and cooked all meals except one with a well stocked kitchen. We also especially loved opening the glass “wall” every evening to enjoy the outdoors . We could not have asked for a better place for the 4 of us to stay!

Perfect Yosemite getaway
This place is perfectly located for a visit in Yosemite! We were in the valley within 20 minutes and we loved that we could get away from the crowds easily. The house was perfect for two couples. It was comfortable and unlike many rentals we've stayed in, this place was well stocked with everything we needed. If I had one wish, it would be that the hot tub needs to be turned up higher. It's currently maxed at 100 and having a spa of my own, 103 is optimal especially after a 16-mile hike in Yosemite. Other than that, this place has everything we wanted/needed. We'll definitely come back!

Great Home Base!
This was a great home base for exploring Yosemite during our stay. The house had everything that we needed and Foresta had several nice walks or hikes including to the Forest waterfall. Our 2 year old daughter loved exploring the house and the toys and books that they had included and it was great to be able to stay in a house that was within 30 minutes of the valley - though do keep the distance in mind in your planning if you might have to go back and forth a lot (for example, to get back for naps). Would be happy to stay here again.

Weekend getaway
Spent 4 days here as a base camp for hiking, climbing and fishing in Yosemite Valley and Tuolomne Meadows. You can’t ask for a better location! 15 min to the Valley and 1 hr to the Meadows. Quiet location. Well equipped house with just about everything you need. Owner was polite and communicated well throughout the process. We plan on staying there again.
