It took me thirty years to finally make my way to Yosemite for several days of plein air painting, hiking, and discovery and I loved staying in this loft apartment with my brother. There are two full bathrooms, one for each of us, a fireplace, and we slept on different floors for sibling privacy! We used the kitchen a lot and even the electric grill on the balcony. We saw a gigantic butterfly and later on..a family of mule deer from beyond the balcony doors. Arnold’s hospitality, helpful tips, quick responses to questions, made this a perfect first trip for me! I would totally stay here again!
Enjoyed stay in West Yosemite condo. Slightly rough around the edges from use but very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed for our stay including kitchen and 2 full baths. Host was very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.
Great location inside the park. The condo had everything we needed for cooking, great wifi, and the fireplace provided a nice place to defrost at the end of the day. I appreciated the two full bathrooms as well. Highly recommend going down to the valley or your hikes early to beat the crowds and then going back to the condo in the afternoons to relax. Arnold was good at communicating and very kind.
The house was perfect. It had everything you could possibly need. Including even a booklet with information
Overall the house was very cozy.
It was very conveniently located close to attractions, yet away from the crowds.
We loved it. .
Great location in the park. Very convenient being inside the park but not in the busy valley area. Had everything we needed and slept 5 of us comfortably. Would stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay! It was perfect for our family of five. It was convenient to stay inside the gates of the park. Everything was clean and comfortable. We can’t wait to return.
Great property, great location. The property was clean and well kept. The kitchen lacked a bit if you cook your meals, enough to get by but overall functioned fine. The owner was responsive in advising of an issue with dish disposal which occurred prior to arrival and was easy to work with. There is an ice machine on property which was useful. Overall location of property is great for access to valley and Glacier Point road. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
This condo had everything we needed while in Yosemite! It is the priciest place we've ever rented, but the location plus a full kitchen made it worth it. Being so close to the Yosemite Valley allowed us to get a prime parking spot each morning, and it is very close to Glacier Point for sunset! The house was clean and comfortable. I was a little worried about the lack of air conditioning during a heat wave, but the temps dropped at night and the condo had plenty of fans available. It was absolutely comfortable and I would love to come back if we ever make it to California again.
Loved the location and property. Easy to access the valley. Glacier Point, and lower Yosemite perfect location for us! Seems to have been recently updated with new paint, carpet, furnishings, bedding, and linens. So much space to spread out and store luggage/clothing. Included all of the basic supplies for kitchen and bath. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone! Owner very responsive and helpful to area. Take the valley tram tour your first day, first thing in the morning.
This place had enough room for my family of 4 to have a good base for a few days of enjoying Yosemite. 30-40 minute drive could get to Mariposa, Glacier Point, or the Yosemite Valley. Kitchen is small, but adequate for making meals and the 2 small fridges had enough storage space for our supplies. Two full baths were ideal, and 2 queen beds plus a pullout sofa provided plenty of sleeping space for 4 people. Good communication from owner made things easy. We were very happy with this stay.
Owner very responsive to communication. Condo easy to find and a good location for traveling around in Yosemite. A bit rustic. Kitchen small but we did not use it much (breakfast only). Nice towels, bathrooms clean, beds comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Arnold Dolence
I live in Oakhurst, a small town 14 miles from the south entrance to the park. I have been visiting Yosemite since I was a child in the 60's. I love being able to enable people to enjoy this natural wonder.
Why they chose this property
My condo is centrally located 14 miles inside the south entrance to the park. Staying here you avoid long lines to enter the park. You are 10 miles to Wawona, another 4 miles to Mariposa Grove. It is a 20 to 30 minute drive to the valley floor. Badger Pass ski area is 7 miles.
What makes this property unique
It is a great value you have the option to prepare meals and or enjoy the dining options inside the park
