My brother and I were looking for somewhere to stay near the park as we had won a Half Dome permit and would need to get on the trail early. This was the perfect pick. The community of Yosemite West is quiet and gorgeous and about a half hour from the Valley. The house was the perfect size for us, the beds were comfortable (MUCH appreciated after long hiking days), and we loved the front porch. We didn’t cook, but the kitchen was very well-stocked. There are many books about Yosemite, some puzzles, and children’s books and games. I would absolutely stay here again. ##### Megan D. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erik J.

This was the most well stocked and best organized rental I've experienced. It was perfect our group of three that includes a toddler. It puts the renter in easy driving distance to Yosemite's biggest attractions. If you don't feel like driving, sit on the peaceful front porch where we had the privilege of seeing a momma bear and cub cross the street below. Truly an amazing place! ##### Erik J.

Only bummer was when we returned from a beautiful day of hiking Yosemite on our last afternoon and found that the water had been shut off by Public Works. Scraped through the night and had to leave early the next morning. Better check with the owner about that if you’re interested in staying there… ##### Charlie B.

We didn't think we'd need it, but the on-site washer/dryer proved very useful after our full day hikes. And for a parent like me with a child with dietary restrictions, I appreciated the fully equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. The prime location within the park itself immersed us in nature and saved us time so we could maximize our Yosemite experience. Our kids loved the loft area. It was filled with carefully curated books and there were some days we had to drag them out into the wilderness. Highly recommend for an unforgettable and comfortable Yosemite adventure. ##### Muryum S. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lisa B. Apr 10, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beware 8 days before our schedule trip, all roads were closed to the property due to the unprecedented severe winter storm. We tried to ask the owner for a refund or to reschedule in July 2024 but they refused. We told them it was unsafe to travel with 2 kids in such snowy conditions, especially since tire chains were required for travel and only 1 trail was open at the Park, but the owner refused and said that weather is unpredictable and even in July there could be forest fires. We lost out on our money. ##### Lisa B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorie S.

Quiet street, cozy, comfortable, full of natural light, air conditioning. The kitchen is very well stocked with lots of spices, kitchen tools, quality appliances, quality dinnerware and silverware. The owner has even provided baby items such as a playpen and toys. Entry and locking the property is very easy. Communication with the owner was easy, timely, informative and friendly. It’s private, quiet and the neighborhood properties are beautiful too. We went for a nice evening stroll with cups of tea and saw massive pine cones! Easy to drive to the valley, with a STUNNING lookout point on the way. Check it out at sunset! Absolutely breathtaking. Love the porch on this property too. We were able see so many stars just from the porch! Would definitely stay at this property again. Thank you Simmy for such a wonderful stay for my family and I. Btw, my kids said they loved Yosemite more than Disneyland during our trip to California! It’s that spectacular! ##### Lorie S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda B., Lake Saint Louis, MO Jul 10, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Yosemite location Our family stayed here three nights to enjoy our first time visiting Yosemite. We were thankful for picking a place to stay inside the park and a place that didn’t have lots of stairs to get into the house (like other vacation rentals we saw). The host had a very nice welcome gift for us. The two level house was perfect (our daughter took the upstairs bedroom/bathroom). One evening I enjoyed the upstairs loft recliner with the host’s huge Ansel Adams book. There is also books on Yosemite hikes, etc. We bought a Styrofoam cooler & loaded up with groceries at the Von’s in Oakhurst. We planned our Saturday Yosemite arrival for 5:00 PM so only had a 15 minute wait at the gate. The kitchen at the house was well stocked & perfect for preparing/cooking breakfast & dinners. We packed lunch/snacks/water bottles in the cooler each day for exploring the park. The park is so huge that you do spend a lot of time driving to get from place to place. We did 5 hikes. On the last day we drove to the village to buy souvenirs, watch the Yosemite film, go to the museum, gallery, and hike to a waterfall. We heard the parking there fills quickly so we arrived at the village area before 8:00 AM. ##### Linda B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lori L., Monterey, CA Sep 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house but no laundry This is a beautiful house, with a better equipped kitchen then we’ve ever seen in a rental property. We had a lovely stay, but we probably wouldn’t rent this house again for several reasons. The first is that it’s listed as having a mountain view but there’s actually no view of mountains at all. In a location like Yosemite, that’s important. The second is that the internet connection is even worse than previous reviewers have indicated. Some days we couldn’t use it at all; other days we had a few minutes before it disappeared. Finally, not having a washer or dryer is a problem in a place where there’s really no good alternative. Clothes get dirty when people are out hiking, and not being able to wash them is a major headache. There are several locked closets in the house, and I would guess that there are laundry facilities in one of them, so that the housekeeping service can wash the linens and towels. There is also a sentence in the notebook provided for renters, recommending that they only do full loads to save water. This would seem to indicate that at one time renters did have access to the laundry facilities and for some reason the owners decided to change that. In my opinion this was a mistake, and would probably keep us from returning to this rental. ##### Lori L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Morgan Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This was the perfect spot for our family vacation to Yosemite. While it's about 30 minutes to most of the main attractions in the Yosemite Valley, that's about as close as you are going to get unless you stay in one of the lodges in the park. But we loved the location and the quiet of the area. The kitchen is fully stocked with high quality pots, pans and utensils! ##### Morgan Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff D. Jul 25, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location but lacking in cleanliness Loved the proximity to the park. The house was as nice as advertised and fit our family of 5 very well. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed for meals. The deck was so peaceful and relaxing. The only downside was that it was not as clean as we expected. We had to do some initial cleaning in the bathroom, sweep off the deck and get rid of cobwebs, recycling from previous renter was still there, and there were cobwebs and in lots of places. For what we paid, I expected it to be cleaned better. Not up to the usual standards of the many VRBO’s we’ve stayed at. ##### Jeff D. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff G. Jul 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for our family Our family of 4 stayed here for our Yosemite vacation. The home was clean and well cared for. More than enough space to sleep, hang out, eat, etc. We especially appreciated the kitchen which had everything we could want or need for food prep and cooking. The location was very peaceful and tucked into Yosemite West. We liked the relatively close proximity of Yosemite West to Yosemite Valley. Before arriving, it was tricky to understand what "Yosemite West" meant and that it was technically in the park. This was particularly important because we heard about potential wait times to enter if you didn't arrive early in the morning. ##### Jeff G. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee B. Jun 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 3 Nights in Yosemite West Pros:3 AC units and ceiling fans, so easy to keep cool on hot days.Luxury Bath Towels.All of the cupboards are labeled with contents.Open concept living/dining/kitchen with lots of natural light.Kitchen is well stocked with appliances, spices, coffee, etc.Refrigerator and dishwasher are brand new.Lots of books, puzzles, children's toys.Very quiet neighborhood. We didn't see or hear any neighbors.Cons:Mattress is very firm. Could use a plush topper.Bathrooms are very small.Deck planks are old, rotting and loose with exposed nails. The host is planning to replace the deck in August, so be careful until then.The property is located at the very bottom of Yosemite West, so it will take you around 10 minutes to get up to highway 41.The driveway is very steep and narrow. ##### Lee B.

Jun 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful property We had a great stay at the Chalet. We woke up early and made coffee and ate breakfast, then explored the park all day and loved coming home to the Chalet for a shower and good nights sleep!! The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were comfortable. My 9 year old exclaimed “they have real toilet paper!” ##### Catherine R.
