Perfect Mini Getaway

We have stayed at Yosemite West’s VRBO with our 4 kids many moons ago. It was great to come back as empty nesters and stay in a room instead of a whole house. Peregrine Lodge is ideal for a mini getaway or a weeklong stay.

So glad that you enjoyed your stay in Yosemite and at the Peregrine Lodge. It is ideal for couples or a single person to get away from it all!

Cozy and luxurious cabin in Yosemite West

We had an incredible stay at this cozy and luxurious cabin in Yosemite West. From the moment we arrived, the experience was warm and welcoming — quite literally, thanks to the inviting gas fireplace in the room. To our delight, there were cookies and pastries waiting for us, which added such a thoughtful and homey touch. The cabin itself was clean, beautifully decorated, and lived up to its name in both coziness and comfort. It was the perfect place to unwind after long hikes and exploring the park.What really made our stay exceptional, though, was the owner. They were amazing — super friendly, approachable, and full of fantastic local recommendations that helped us make the most of our time in Yosemite. The location couldn’t be better either: just a 20-minute drive to Yosemite Valley in one direction, and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias in the other. If you're planning a trip to Yosemite and want a peaceful, welcoming place to stay with a personal touch, this cabin is an absolute gem.

A great time!

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.

Relaxing much-needed getaway

My friend and I camp in Yosemite once or twice a year, and had to cancel earlier trips due to pandemic. We weren't sure how we'd like an indoor stay - it was great! A comfy room, great birds (a big focus on our trips) and quiet surroundings. We couldn't hike as much as usual because of the smoke from the Creek fire, but we spent our evenings on the deck and were happy to unwind in such a lovely setting. It was easy to get to the main attractions (if that's your goal) and very short drives to the out-of-the-way spots we favor. No crowds! So nice.

Finding good accommodations at a reasonable price close to Yosemite Valley is difficult Found this property and was very happy. No problems, good communication with the owner. Pleasant stay. Will go again.

So glad you found us and had such a great time. Yes, the lodge is inside the gates of Yosemite National Park and so central to all of the must-see places in the park. We are ~20 minutes from the Valley, Glacier Point and the Mariposa Grove. Please come back and visit us again!

Thank you so much for this five star review! So glad you enjoyed the Aspen room and your stay at the Peregrine lodge. It is such a bonus to have the lodge located inside the gates of Yosemite National Park with the convenience of having the major Yosemite attractions within a short driving distance.

Quiet and private retreat

About The Peregrine Lodge: It is a wonderful place to stay! We were in the Aspen Room -- cozy but plenty of space to spread out. The bed was comfortable. There was a very organized and helpful binder book in the room with instructions for operating the heater, tv, fireplace, and other things you might need to know in case of an emergency. They also had detailed instructions on the checkout process. They quickly answered the questions I asked before the trip, and reached out with parking instructions before we arrived. It had recently snowed a lot, and they wanted to be sure everyone's vehicles were accommodated. We weren't able to use the nice deck outside our room because the snow was melting and it was dripping everywhere. :) We had a great time and hope to return in the summer or fall to experience Yosemite and the Peregrine Lodge again. About our trip: My husband and I went to Yosemite in late March so there was still a lot of snow in the area but the roads were clear. It was about a 30-minute drive to Yosemite Village. We got up very early one morning and drove to Tunnel View (about 15 minutes) and my husband took some beautiful photos of the sunrise over the valley. The waterfalls were all going strong with all the snow melt!

Perfect!

The room was just what we had hoped for. David & Vonnie were excellent hosts and answered all of our questions before we arrived and were attentive to our needs while we were there. The king sized bed and wood burning fireplace were just what we needed after a day of hiking in Yosemite. And just 20 minutes away from Tunnel View! Vonnie's advice on what to do in Yosemite, along with some great books that they have available, really helped to make our trip successful!

A fabulous experience. Home from home.

The accommodation was fantastically described. David was a fabulous host with excellent local knowledge and suggestions of where to go and how to get the best experience. The room was beautiful and very well equipped with a beautiful balcony and log fire to set the scene. I would not hesitate to recommend this place as a must visit highlight.
