Get ready to make magical memories to last a lifetime here at this stunning Yosemite house, boasting a million-dollar view of Lower Yosemite Canyon and Cascade Falls. You'll love having your own quiet setting that backs to the wilderness while you enjoy the propane firepit, wraparound decks, and red cedar panoramic view barrel sauna. Located in Yosemite National Park, you'll have prime access to all the park offers, including world-famous rock faces, endless hiking trails, and waterfalls. Yosemite West vacation rentals allow for Yosemite Park admission without an advance park reservation. It's only 12 miles to Yosemite Valley sites, including Bridalveil Falls, Yosemite Falls, El Cap Meadows, and numerous iconic trailheads. Don't miss out on picnicking at Tenaya Lake when you need a quiet moment, or hike up to Glacier Point for some of the most breathtaking scenery. When it parks to home base, this getaway sits in Yosemite West, a private community of resort properties that offer rustic living at its best. You will also be less than eight miles from the Badger Pass Ski Area.

At home, you'll appreciate a flat driveway with no steps to access the house.

Inside, large windows help you enjoy the view from the primary bedroom, dining area, and great room. Admire the warm sunrise view through a picturesque cedar and black oak grove, and take in the spectacular sunset view that's framed by mature sugar pine and their massive two-foot-long pinecones.

After full days of endless adventure, lounge on the sofa or recliner and enjoy access to your favorite TV shows from the TV. There are Amazon Firesticks available for each TV. At night, curl up in front of the fireplace and crack open that book you've been meaning to read for months.

A cozy sunroom provides an entirely separate space for work or play. High-speed Starlink internet ensures the best internet service in Yosemite West. When the group gets hungry, a well-equipped kitchen with a large refrigerator is available for cooking tasks. There are outdoor and indoor dining tables. Everyone will love to head out to the wraparound decks and enjoy breathtaking mountainous landscape and starry night sky views! A propane grill and barbecue tools make cooking out a breeze.

This is a highly sought-after retreat, so book your stay at Yosemite View Retreat while it lasts!

Perfect place to stage and extended Yosemite trip!
Place was great. Spa was awesome. Gas fireplace was a nice touch. Beds were comfortable. Could use a couple new skillets. Communication with the host Vacasa was not up to the standard of past stays in properties they host but it did not impact the experience in any way.

Comfortable
It was a spacious and comfortable home. When we got there, they called me and let me know the hot water in the upstairs bathroom could not be used and didn't have ETA which was disappointing. Then we noticed the water was leaking from the vanity in the same bathroom. They sent someone in the next day and asked politely for our permission to enter if we are not there. I appreciated that. They fixed the hot water in the bath but had to turn off the water in one of the sinks which was fine - at least we could now use both baths. Then we noticed the other sink in the upstairs bathroom started leaking, but by then we were checking out (we only stayed for 2 nights). So we had some water trouble; however I don't hold it against them because these things happen even in our own home. Other than that, it was great! The house was clean. We had very nice dining area both outside in the balcony and inside. A great view from the balcony. The sauna worked really well and we enjoyed it very much. The beds were comfortable. I would totally recommend it.

Birthday family adventure
The house had everything we needed for our family group of 7. We cooked our meals, spent evenings on the deck making smores in the fire pit and drove to yosemite valley and wawona for hikes each day ( about 30 minutes to each). We also loved peaceful mornings on the deck! We would come back again!

Yosemite Home Base
Our group of 2 retired couples stayed here for a week. It was a wonderful place to easily visit Yosemite National Park each day (Valley in one direction, Mariposa grove in the other direction, Glacier point road entrance within a mile). We loved the back deck to relax, enjoy the view (including mule deer almost every day), grill three of our dinners on the gas grill, and have s'mores over the separate outdoor gas firepit. We also enjoyed the seemingly brand new sauna - it had a nice view of the nearby woods. Inside, the home is convinently equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and soap, in both showers. The kitchen is stocked all the necessary pots, pans, utensils. We enjoyed the indoor gas fireplace on a couple of the chillier evenings. Both beds in the main bedrooms were comfortable; we didn't try the twin beds in the 3rd bedroom. The living space had a very comfortable seating for at least 6, with recliner seating in the couches and chairs. The 2 upstairs bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bathroom, while the other bathroom is on the main floor. For our group, one couple used the upstairs bath, and the other used the main floor bath. On the drive in to the property from the main road, we saw black bears (mama and cub) on 2 different occassions playing off in the distance. It was amazing to see. As noted in the description, the owner lives on the walkout level on the ground floor, but other than seeing the car in the driveway (still plenty of room for our car) we never noticed or had any problem - it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Overall, a great home base for a week-long visit to Yosemite National Park.

Yosemite experience
Six of us had a wonderful time at this house in Yosemite West, half way between The Mariposa Grove the The Valley. Perfect location. We had no problems at all.

This was a wonderful cabin in Yosemite! The views around the property were gorgeous! The sauna was so special. Clean. Cozy fire. Nice big dining room table for our family of 7. Just a note that the master bedroom upstairs shares a Jack and Jill bathroom with one other room. Showers were a bit tricky, but there was another shower downstairs. It snowed one night we were there and was gorgeous the next morning! Thankfully we brought chains because our mini van couldn’t make it up one of the streets there as we were leaving to get to the valley, so if you travel here during snow season make sure to bring chains. We left a very important item there and thankfully they were able to return it to us. Would definitely recommend this property.

Our experience here was great and the property is as nice, clean and maintained as in the photos. Yosemite West is a popular area since it's inside the park and I'm glad we lucked with this place.

Perfect Vacation Rental in Optimal Location
I give this my highest recommendation! We loved everything about this rental. The owners have a lovely, clean and welcoming home. The beds are extremely comfortable! Well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen supplies. Love the layout of the kitchen, living room, and upstairs bedrooms. The views are spectacular and the deck makes it easy to enjoy them. It also comes with an EV charger -- how awesome is that! THANK YOU!!!!

Wonderful retreat in the perfect location
We loved out time at this retreat house. It was so peaceful and the view was stunning. The location was wonderful, near enough to drive to good walks but far enough to feel secluded and away from tourists. The house had everything we needed. The hammock on the balcony was a treat! The beds were so comfortable. We didn't want to leave. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Communication from Vacasa was good before, during and after stay. The property was just as promised; clean, beautiful and spacious! The views are spectacular and amenities were great! We would stay again if we Gwen’s back to Yosemite. It’s about a half hour drive to Yosemite village.
