Entire place

Enjoy Yosemite In Peace And Comfort.
Stay inside the gates of Yosemite National Park without the hassles associated with the accommodations offered in Yosemite Valley. You will not have to battle traffic or fight for parking in Yosemite West, nor will you be choking on campfire smoke. Yosemite West is extremely peaceful and quiet even during the big holiday weekends. You can save lots of money by preparing your own meals in the spacious and fully equipped kitchen while enjoying the sunset on the edge of the wilderness. Note this is a duplex and the owner/groundskeeper lives in the separated (100% firewall) unit below and to the right.

First time in Yosemite area. If not staying in valley hotels, this location is great. Close to Glacier Point and the valley. The property is well stocked with all the essentials. Bill was wonderful to work with had fast answers to all questions. We were in Yosemite so we were there just to sleep and eat and this place fit our needs.

We did a long weekend trip in Yosemite and loved our stay here! We appreciated the kitchen that was fully stocked with utensils, dishes, salt and pepper, cleaning supplies. We liked how there were sufficient towels, toilet paper. The place was also really clean! There’s no AC but with the windows open, fans on and he had an extra fan as well it was totally fine. There were also just helpful small amenities like flash lights, ice and tupper ware that made a big difference since the closest store is not close.It was a 30 minute drive to the Yosemite welcome center. We liked the small patio outside we had dinner out there. Bill is truly a great host!Overall great experience - would come back.

Perfect for Yosemite
The location of the property was amazing. As first timers in Yosemite, it was so awesome to be staying inside the park, yet still have all the amenities of home. If staying/traveling with non-campers, this made it such a great visit!The house is very clean, plenty spacious, and is equipped with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the AWESOME dvd collection, which was perfect for decompressing with family after a long day in the park. The house was great, the host was tremendous, the location was perfect and overall made this one of the best national park visits we've had yet!

Best stocked VRBO and easy checkout
This was an incredibly well stocked VRBO. Since we were inside Yosemite National Park where there is very limited places to stock up, it was an added bonus. Lots of paper goods, detergents, even coffee filters!They had lots of plates, cutlery, good knife set, coffee cups and glassware. We were 4 adults, and there was 8 of everything. What a treat.Check out was minimal, just having to load and start the dishwasher.Would definitely recommend.

If you want to spend your vacation in Yosemit NP you need to look here. We passed thru park gates, showed our reservation confirmation, and never left the park the week we were there. i was worried about the early heatwave and no AC, but the house stayed cook with ceiling fans and opened windows at night. It was the perfect vacation.

Great access to Glacier Point Road
My wife and I spent two nights in this large home, which is reasonably well equipped. There is no AC, but it was not needed, at least not in late May.Our primary reason for staying in Yosemite West was for the quick access to Glacier Point Road, which begins just 10 minutes away by car. Definitely lets you get a jump on the crowds there. And the Valley is relatively close, too (about 35 minutes with no traffic), if you want to base yourself in Yosemite West.

Quite House w/ Great Yosemite Access
Loved the Yosemite West location, the view at the end of the road, and a comfortable house. While not flashy, it is quite comfortable. The host, Bill, was great and even went above and beyond to help me with a little request. Thanks, Bill! As with all VRBOs, if there is something missing from the kitchen, just ask!

Location! Location! Location!
Due to a family emergency we were going to have to cancel our two weeks that we booked with Bill and lose our payment. However, we reached out to Bill and asked if he would be open to us rebooking for two weeks at a later date and he was very agreeable. This was very generous of him.This location was perfect for all our hiking and snowshoeing expeditions. Accommodations were comfortable and we would recommend others to stay here.
