Family trip to Yosemite
We’ve stayed in Yosemite West before so knew the neighborhood. The house was as described; it’s an older house but has everything you could need. Plenty of space for a big group. We wished we had spent more time enjoying the yard as it looked lovely, but we exhausted ourselves during our hikes! My two grandbabies (2 and 3) had an absolute blast running around. The kitchen table is huge and can seat many, but no backrests so one in our group couldn’t sit at the table comfortably but wasn’t a big issue. Bedrooms are all upstairs so if needing a ground floor bedroom be aware (not a problem for us this trip but has required room juggling in the past). We enjoyed and would stay again !

The Perfect Yosemite Family Cottage
We stayed for 3 nights mid-August and left wishing we had booked more! Another family was coming or we would have asked to stay longer. Highlights included: the spacious bedrooms, pool table (my kids played at it for hours!), expansive breakfast table with gorgeous view, multiple outdoor seating areas (especially the one on the back porch to look at stars at night, and the incredibly gracious host Michelle. She was SO helpful! Great location in terms of getting to and from the valley as well. Highly recommend. And we hope to return someday!

We had a great stay at the property. While there were a couple of amenities we wished for, the space in the house was great. There were nine of us and so much room, we were always able to spread out comfortably.

Classic Yosemite experience
We had an excellent experience on our hiking trip to Yosemite. The Lodge had a wide open kitchen family area that allowed us to cook and watch our children play games and have fun. The first floor is very spacious and opens up to a large outdoor patio that allow us to enjoy, beautiful evening sunshine after our long hikes in Tuolmone Valley. The location is close to the tunnel view entrance into the valley, which made it very convenient. Staying inside the park gates made it easy to enter into the park without long delays. Believe me, that is priceless. I would highly recommend this place for larger groups because of its spacious design, I would rent this place again

Wonderful Home, Great Location
We had the best family weekend staying in this home! We originally had reservations in the valley that got canceled and we wanted to be as close as possible without being in a hotel. The layout and cleanliness of the house could not have been more ideal. Our kids are older and the house was big enough to accommodate us + significant others. We actually had a very intimate wedding ceremony at the Tunnel View and we celebrated with an amazing dinner and celebration at the house afterwards. I would love to stay again someday. Thank you Michelle!

Yosemite Family Reunion
This is a great property for a large group. Our family reunion/birthday celebration was large enough that we rented two houses in Yosemite West, but because of the large outdoor area, kitchen, and bar pool room areas, we used this house as the main meeting area. The kitchen if fully equiped with everything you might need. There is plenty of parking. The location inside the park is perfect and centrally located from Wawona, Glacier Point, and Yosemite Valley. We loved this property! The other house that we rented could hold a candle to this property. The bear wandering through the patio was an added plus!

Great house but no internet
Great house and you can’t beat the location inside Yosemite, close to the valley, Glacier Point and Wawona. I would have given it 5 stars except that it lacks internet and was a little short on towels and light bulbs. Michelle the owner was extremely nice and I definitely recommend it.

Great place, great location
This place was a great place for a group retreat. It’s hard to beat the location close to the park, amenities, etc. The only issue we had was that the trash dumpster was not accurate as described or from the pictures sent. The code didn’t work on the dumpster lock, so we had to figure out how to dispose of our trash, which was a bit of a hiccup.

Fantastic home in a great location
This is a great place to stay to explore Yosemite with family and friends. The home is very spacious and can easily accommodate 8-9 people. During the day - you are easy distance to all that Yosemite has to offer. In the evenings we enjoyed cooking meals, play pool and general time hanging out together (No wifi is a bonus with teenagers). The communication was top notch - super responsive and helpful. We hope to stay here again on our next trip to Yosemite -- would be a great spot for a family holiday get together!

Yosemite with Friends
Great location, thirty-five minutes from the Ahwahnee. Michelle, the owner, was very nice, helpful and answered all questions quickly and efficiently. The house is large and the Kitchen and living area for gathering is a great space! The pool room/ bar is a fun. The patio off the kitchen for BBQing and enjoying sitting outside is also nice. The house is older and needs some maintenance but is overall functional and nice. For a laid back vacation in the park it works well.

This house was perfect for our family. It’s a beautiful home with plenty of room for a large family and a perfect base for exploring Yosemite. If you get an opportunity to talk to the owner, do it. The house has a very unique and interesting history in itself and also she’s a great source of information on and some traditions of the original inhabitants here. I highly recommend staying here and the whole family wants to come back!

Yosemite vacation
Great location only 30 min to Yosemite Valley. Not biking distance but no traffic. Beautiful house very cosy with huge kitchen & dining area for large groups. Nice for meals & game time. Loved the bar & pool table. Very popular room for my family. Excellent communication with property owner with helpful recommendations. My adult kids hiked all of the strenuous trails/falls in 5 days. Very busy week but they loved it. House details were right on spot…bring propane. Lots of kitchenware, linens. Only thing not so perfect was the lack of air condition & no internet service. We really enjoyed being together though without cell phones. Lastly, we saw a bear close to the house so listen to the rules and don’t leave food outside or in the car. That was exciting. Would definitely recommend this home. Thanks for a great vacation.

Will definitely stay here again.
We had an amazing time in this house. Michelle was very good at communicating with us before and during our stay. We had a little bit of a problem figuring out the trash dumpster code, but it wasn't a big deal because we were going to the valley every day so we just brought the trash with us every morning. There's a lot of dumpsters scattered all over the valley. We love the wood fireplace. We made all kinds of s'mores from it. There's no wifi, which is the most perfect feature for adults who just want to disconnect from the world. Parking is plenty. We brought 4 cars and it looks like it can accommodate 2 or 3 more. We love the big table right in front of the big kitchen. We have a few cooks in the family and there's still plenty of room to move around. The kitchen had everything we needed. Baking, cooking, grilling. Doesn't matter what we needed, the tools were there. This place is quite accessible to elderly even though there's a few mini staircases. My grandma who is 88 yrs old had no problem moving around the house.

1st Yosemite Trip
We were searching for a place close to Yosemite that could easily accommodate our family of five. We especially liked the open kitchen dining area which is where we spent most of our time while at the house. The house was very clean, lots of towels and basic supplies, and also had an enjoyably quirky feel to it. We would definitely return when we’re next at Yosemite.
