Perfect Spot Just Outside Yosemite
Lori was great to communicate with and the house was perfect for our family of four as a jumping off point for our Yosemite adventures and to relax at the end of the day. Bonus points for being able to come into the valley through Tunnel View every day.

Great location - nice remodeled house
Our party of two couples really enjoyed our stay at Yosemite Refuge. The house is nicely located to reach the Valley and nearby sites. The house was comfy with two bedrooms, each with adjoining bath, at separate ends of the upstairs hallway. We cooked in each night and loved the well stocked, open plan kitchen. The welcome binder contained helpful local info and hiking recommendations. And the sunset views from the living room across to the distant mountain range were amazing! Our only minor issue was the Owner was not very communicative on how we would receive our check in info. It would have been nice to have known what email address to look for (did not contain any part their name and went into spam). We also did not receive responses to VBRO messages. However the check in instructions, once found, were very clear and the directions to the house and info on what to expect were spot on. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic spot in Yosemite
We absolutely loved staying in the Yosemite refuge for our trip! It was close to the park and still felt like a remote cabin all to ourselves! The outdoor deck was a great spot to hang out and we had lots of fun with the board games at night.
