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!

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.

Perfect location

The Storybook Chalet is everything we hoped it would be. The home is very comfortable with enough space for the whole family. The hot tub was a perfect way to end the day. The location is perfect to get to major hike locations with being smack dab in the middle of glacier point and the valley. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

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.

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!
