Beautiful house. Great kitchen and lots space and games. Our grand kids were fascinated with the small TV with built-in VCR in the bar and they learned to play nine ball and eight ball. Great location - snow play in the neighborhood, easy access to Yosemite Valley and very short drive to Skiing at Badger Pass.

Amazing Stay – Perfect for Families!We had a truly wonderful stay at this vacation home! The kitchen and grill were fabulous—we cooked all of our meals with ease, which made our time together even more special. The rooms were beautiful, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Everything was thoughtfully designed for relaxation and connection. We made so many new “forever” family memories here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped, and beautiful place to stay!

Fun Yosemite Vacation Home

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.

A Great Place for Exploring Yosemite

My family and I had a great stay in this wonderful lodge. The property is spacious and private, with lots of amenities (bar, pool table, hammock, washer/dryer). The place is fun and inviting.The location inside Yosemite National Park is wonderful. Glacier Point Road is just 3 miles away: Glacier Point is a must see -- such a fantastic view of the entire Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Mirror Lake, El Capitán, and all the other great spots in Yosemite.Just 9 miles from the house and you get your first of many great views of Half Dome as you enter Yosemite Valley. From there the drive is nothing but great sights to behold around every turn.And Michelle is an amazing host -- she graciously accommodated our special check-in request, and provided lots of helpful information and tips about places and things to do.We had a great stay at Yosemite Mountain Lodge, and would be delighted to stay here again.Jim W.

Family trip

This was our annual family trip with our kids and grandkids and we can't imagine a better home for us all to spend our time together in. There was enough room for us all to have some room but still be together. They layout is perfect for large family gatherings, games, cooking, eating and hanging out and laughing! We all LOVED IT!!

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!

Fun, fun, fun

Our family had a great time in this unique and fun cabin located in a very convenient location. It wasn’t too far from the valley or Glacier Point. Working with Michelle, the owner, was great. She had great communication and was so helpful. The kitchen was big enough for the whole family and the back yard was so fun. We had fun, fun, fun!

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!

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.

Great location and space for a group of adults

We had two families with adult children. There was space for everyone for sleeping and spreading out to play pool, watch TV, read, or play games at the awesomely huge dining table. We cooked all meals in the big kitchen and served from buffet style from the island counter. Of course the location was the best - easy drives to Mariposa Grove and the Valley. Fantastic amenities, very clean, nice bathrooms, bedrooms, wood burning stove, and living areas. Thank you!

Vacation Cabin in Yosemite

Check in was easy. The location was great , close to both Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove of Sequoias. The home had everything we needed. My 13 yo daughter wasn’t happy with the lack of wi-fi but I was happy to be incommunicado for 3 days of our vacation. The bedrooms were comfortable and everyone loved the saloon. The kitchen had everything we needed. The owner was responsive to concerns. I would definitely stay there again.

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 !

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
I was raised in Yosemite N.P. Our home is one of the first homes ever built in Yosemite West. My parents ran it as a former B&B and we have had people from all over the world stay w/ us. I love sharing our home w/ families, friends and businesses from around the world.

Why they chose this property

It is one of the largest homes inside Yosemite National Park. It is centrally located and has a lot of space for families and friends to gather and there is plenty of parking.

What makes this property unique

Our home is one of a kind and was mostly built by my father in the early 70's. It's rustic, unique, charming and very entertaining. Our home stood alone before many other homes were bulit in Yosemite West and we had no phones or cable. My dad added a sunken game room and Saloon to entertain us. Now it has entertained hundreds of people from around the world. We are also the only home in Yosemite West that owns all 7 lots that surround it. It has more privacy and is a great place to get away from crowds. My kids love putting up tents on the empty lots to camp and have a outdoor experince. If you perfer sleeping under the stars or being in a big house with comfortable beds, it offers something for everyone.
We have a outdoor campfire ring away from the house with wood stumps to sit on and is a great place to gather around at night and share stories, eat smores and look up at the stars. If you perfer to stay closer to the house we have another fire ring in front of our home that you can sit in a rocking chair and relax.
Our kitchen table can sit up to10 plus people and is the heart of the home to gather families and friends around.
