About this property

Yosemite Hilltop Cabins, Sage Cabin,15 min to the Valley floor, Wifi

Thank you for selecting Yosemite Hilltop Cabins for your get-away! You will receive a pre-check-in email regarding your stay, if you can fill that out it would be much appreciated. As some details are required, other questions simply help with the housekeeping schedule.

NOTE – This listing is for the Sage Cabin. The listing and availability calendar for the Lupin Cabin is also on VRBO/HomeAway under property number 115073. Both cabins are on the same property, have the same floor plan, and are furnished almost identically.

Our cabins are very private. Even though the Sage and Lupin Cabins are located next to each other they are oriented to maintain maximum privacy. Each cabin has 17-foot-tall wood beam ceilings with ceiling fans and lots of windows to take advantage of the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

Each cabin has a master bedroom with a comfy king-size bed and down comforter. There is also a foldout sofa bed that is the size of a full mattress. The cabin has a full bath, full kitchen, and reading loft. Each cabin also has its own patio with a high quality Weber gas barbecue

When you arrive at your cabin there will be fresh linens on the bed and clean towels in the bathroom. There will be brand-name shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom. You will only need to bring food, clothes, and personal toiletry items.

Fantastic hiking and running trails with wildflowers, waterfalls, and wildlife can be accessed right from the cabins.

Unfortunately no pets or dogs are allowed. Yosemite is not very dog friendly. You won't be able to take your dog with you on hikes.

Each cabin has a TV/DVD player. The TV has no programming, DVD only. There is a small DVD library to pick from or you can bring your own movies.
The kitchen has all the cookware and dinnerware that you will need to prepare and serve meals. The kitchen also has a microwave oven, toaster, blender, coffee grinder, and coffee maker.
The cabins are heated in the winter by propane heaters that look like wood-burning stoves. Both cabins have evaporative coolers that work great to keep the cabins cool during the summer.
Some cell phones work at the cabins. Verizon is the best. Each cabin has a land-line telephone for use during your stay.
There is satellite internet provided by HughesNet. There is a cap on the amount of bandwidth that is available. PLEASE DO NOT STREAM MOVIES OR WATCH VIDEOS AS IT WILL IMPACT GUESTS THAT ARRIVE AFTER YOU.

Current Yosemite road and weather conditions can be found by calling Yosemite National Park at 209-372-0200. Current road conditions in the State of California can be found by calling Caltrans at 800-427-7623.

A lovely little cabin in Yosemite that is away from all the tourists who can be in abundance. The weather was great in late March when my wife and I went and overall I would recommend! The price is a little steep, but overall worth it in my opinion.

Beautiful cabin at the top of a hill in the middle of Yosemite. Easy access to all Yosemite destinations. Beautiful grounds. Excellent host, responds almost instantly to questions and anticipates potential issues and communicates proactively (eg detours outside the Park due to wildfires). Would stay again, his Moab, UT house is equally nice. .

The cabin is exactly what we wanted! A clean place to stay that was both comfortable and close to Yosemite Valley. (25 minutes) We were able to access the whole park for day hiking. Most areas for hikingwere with an hour or less. Steve, our host, was easy to get a hold of if you had any questions or concerns. Great cabin in Yosemite National Park!

Great stay

Steve was a wonderful host and helped answer all of our concerns as we were traveling during a snow storm and we stayed an extra day and delayed going on the day of the storm. The cabin was a great location and we loved how quiet the cabin was and the stars were so amazing to view. The cabin was clean and well equipped.
