Amazing experience!!

This property was exactly as described. It was so cozy and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The owner was so helpful from beginning to end and the property is so well maintained. It was peaceful and pleasant. My son and I sat every night and played cards at the table after we ate dinner - which we prepared each night in the kitchen. Our trip consisted of multiple stops and the only thing I would change was to do this portion last. It was the most relaxed I've been in a long time!! The convenience of being essentially inside the park made life a lot easier - no real lines to get to all the places we wanted to visit. I highly recommend this property!! If we find our way back to Yosemite, this is definitely where we'd stay.

Great location for a Yosemite trip.

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.

Was very clean. Frustration was with internet and TV. Internet was apparently shared with entire condo building. Worried about security of it. Also, weakest internet I've ever dealt with. Took 2-3 minutes for a simple Google search to load. Not strong enough to play any video on phone or iPad. TV had wireless Roku. Too weak to load any TV shows. Generic remote to the one TV wasn't labeled and couldn't change input to DVD or anything else. So had no TV and no internet to speak of. Fortunately it was the weekend, so didn't have to do anything work related. Had no telephone signal there either, so not having internet was a real hassle.

We had a wonderful time during our stay and Yosemite West is the perfect location! The accommodations were great. We were worried about not having air conditioning, but there were fans everywhere! It was well stocked with everything we needed. The only downside was spotty wifi when we needed to do some last minute research about our hikes for the day, but really not a big issue. Arnold was a great host!

Great spot for Yosemite NP

The property was as advertised; great access to the Park. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the lack of WiFi service (we were planning on researching trails and activities while at the unit but could hardly send texts).

Great location near Glacier Point road

We stayed here due to a 5 am wedding we had for my son, up at the top of Glacier Point road, this building was the closest to that spot and just perfect for our needs. The beds were comfortable and the accommodations very adequate. The kitchen was super tiny - not a problem but the refrigerators (two very small ones, one in the kitchen and one in the entryway) were shallow and we were very glad we didn't purchase more food than we did on the way up. The building has stairs only, so just be aware if you are older or have any disability. This location looks as if it were built quite a long time ago and is very nostalgic. Water pressure was low, and we discovered that there is really no hot water at 3:30 am (when we were getting ready for the early wedding), but later in the day, after other folks in the building begin using the hot water, it does warm up. There was a nice balcony where we sat for coffee and we enjoyed the surrounding scenery.I have always wanted to stay inside the Park and am very glad we chose this spot, it was perfect for our needs. It was clean, had plenty of provided amenities, and some of the quirks of the place made us smile. There is a lovely fireplace indoors (we did not use it), and the carpet and couches looked brand new. Comfortable and accommodating, we had a lovely stay here.

Perfect Landing

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!

Winter inside the park

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.

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
