Great Experience at Yosemite

The property is about 15 minutes away from the breathtaking tunnel view—best you’ll get for larger parties. Amenities were great, kitchen is upgraded and nice. Beds and showers were ok for evening and mornings preparing for and recovering from adventures in the park. Great place!

Yosemite National Park Get Away House

Wonderful stay at the Chalet! We enjoyed the All-in-One family Style open kitchen/ dining room/ pool table/ wood fireplace/ wooden A-framed ceiling/ cozy furniture around tv/ starlink. The beds and linens very good/ upstairs master suite has reading nook and a very clean sauna. Family 5-adults. Weekend stay 40min drive to valley for all day sunny hikes. 3” snow night of departure. Very memorable stay!

Memorable

Great location able to walk behind the house to a ridge when not ready to drive down to the valley. Hot tub was a blast with the cold weather. We loved the house and layout- better than the pictures, which is usually the other way around. Kitchen had everything including coffee filters and trash bags which is great

Great location and well-stocked

Pros - great location, very accessible to Yosemite; well stocked kitchen with lots of dishes, cooking equipment, and lots of basic household supplies, which is helpful since a real grocery store is an hour away. Beautiful view, hot tub is great as is wood burning stove. Beds are comfortable and the area is peaceful. Pool table and TV with some major streaming services is a plus. Cozy and comfortable for relaxing and some fun games. Great place to hang out after long day in the park.Cons - inaccurate listing, only has one pullout couch instead of 2 double futons (and 3 bedrooms, not 4; pullout couch is in an open loft area next to a bedroom and right above the living room); 10 people (listing count) could not fit here, 8 max; have to haul all your trash and recycling into the park or host will charge a fee; must wash and dry all towels prior to departure (or be charged a fee) but dryer isn’t working well so towels wouldn’t dry after multiple cycles. Only 7 bath towels even though listing says it can accommodate up to 10 guests.

Amazing Stay

Our family recently stayed at the Storybook Chalet inside Yosemite National Park, and even though the weather didn’t cooperate with snow, we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The property is truly a gem, combining comfort, charm, and an unbeatable location right inside Yosemite!The Chalet is beautifully designed and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The cozy wood stove and plush bedding made every night feel like a retreat, and the kids absolutely loved the pool table. We also took full advantage of the sauna and spa—such a treat after a day of exploring (or in our case, cozying up indoors during the rain).We’re already planning our next trip and hoping for some snow next time to fully experience all the area has to offer.Highly recommend it!

Great chalet for our family trip

The location was beautiful, and central to all parts of Yosemite that we wanted to see. The chalet was spacious, and kitchen well equiped for our meals. We had our adult kids with us, and our 15 month old grandson. The hot tub and pool table was great as well for evening fun.

Had great stay despite a couple of issues with the house

We had a great time at this house and found the location and setting to be great. It was a relatively short drive to get down to Yosemite Valley. The house itself is actually nicer than the pictures make it seem! The listing would be greatly improved by some better pictures. Our kids really enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. We enjoyed our time despite a couple of issues with the house:- The oven was having issues and was inoperable when we first arrived, which completely threw our dinner plans into disarray.- One of the sinks didn't work - no water came out.- One of the bedroom outlets had a prong from a plug that was broken off and stuck in the outlet, making it unusable.- The air mattress had a slow leak and should probably be replaced.- It snowed over a foot while we were there and nobody came by to shovel the steps or deck or clear the driveway. This house is 2000' higher than the valley floor, so you MUST have 4WD or chains to get here any time from fall through spring. I don't think this was mentioned in the listing.- We thought it was weird that we had to dispose of our own trash and poach dumpsters in the park despite there being dumpsters in Yosemite West, but this is pretty clearly explained in the listing.We found the hosts to be quick to respond to our messages. We didn't need any immediate action though it would have been helpful to have a working oven and snow removal. Overall we had a great time and would stay here again.

Storybook stay

We had a lovely stay. Very quiet and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils/pans The property manager, Eric, was very attentive and helpful. FYI, the driveway is steep so enter from the uphill side and stay to the left for the first 8-10 feet.
