About this property

*NEWER Yosemite Inverness House* with Central Air and Heat Inside Yosemite Park

Yosemite West is centrally located inside the park entrance, and sits near an intersection of the roads leading to the park's most famous features: Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias.

This private updated 2-level house sits at the end of a quiet street, with a network of running and hiking trails surrounding the neighborhood. Too hot? Too cold? Not a problem. Our home features central air conditioning for those too hot for comfort nights and central heat to keep every part of the house toasty.

KITCHEN / DINING / DECK
Cook comfortably in our fully-equipped kitchen with full-size, stainless steel appliances, gas range, granite countertops and fully stocked with service for 8 and all the necessary gadgets to prepare your favorite meals. Pantry is stocked with a variety of spices and individually wrapped teas, sugar and cream. The dining area has a pub-style table for six and is open to the living room area.

Enjoy the views while you grill, dine or lounge outdoors on our expansive 300 sq ft. deck. You have your choice of grilling on a GAS BBQ grill (located on the deck) or grilling on a free-standing, cast iron, CHARCOAL grill (located on the lower level in front of the house).

PICNIC BASKET
We’ve provided a picnic basket and cooler for a spontaneous picnic in the park. Picnic basket serves 6 and includes individually wrapped salt & pepper. Reusable ice packs can be found in the freezer.

LIVING ROOM
Clean, bright and tastefully decorated, the living room is an inviting space with a large and comfortable curved sectional sofa, gas burning stove, flat-screen TV, and plenty of DVDs for your next movie night. The dish network connection is very unreliable due to the height of the surrounding trees. We are hoping a new carrier will soon come into the Yosemite West area with a more reliable TV service.

LIBRARY WEST
A diverse and extensive library of books is available for you to enjoy including books on Yosemite, hikes and nature walks. You may take books with you if haven’t finished reading them and you’re also welcome to contribute to our library with books of your own. There are plenty of “reading lights” conveniently throughout the house.

BEDROOMS
The first bedroom is furnished with a full size bed and twin bunk beds. The second is furnished with a king sized bed. The master bedroom is also furnished with a king bed. Bathroom #1 has dual sinks with granite countertop, tiled floor, full size shower/tub and plenty of natural light. The master bathroom has dual sinks, granite countertops, tiled floors, and a shower.

BATHROOM
Plenty of natural light fills the bathroom and features dual sinks, granite counter tops and tiled floor. Enjoy “hotel-like” complimentary toiletries. First aid kit under the bathroom sink.

WASHER/DRYER
Full size washer and dryer available for guests staying 3 days or more.

Wonderful time spent at the Inverness House

Had a family vacation spent well at Judy's property. Although we reached quite late, the directions provided by Judy were immaculate and we had no issues in finding the property. The checkin process was hassle free. The property was neat and clean on our arrival. It had all facilities needed to help make the stay relaxing and smooth. Special mention would be the central heating and the heated toilets. Those were game changers considering the weather was in the low 40s. Judy as a host is one of the best we have worked with. She made sure that we always felt at home during the stay. There was a small issue with the dishwasher and once Judy came to know of this, she made sure to provide a certain amount as refund. This was tryuly a very generius gesture. We had a great time with family at the Inverness House. Thank You Judy for being a great host. We will love to be back at the Inverness.

Fall in Yosemite

We stayed a couple days in late September. The house is a bit difficult to find but the directions provided by the owner made it easy. The house had everything we needed and was right inside the park so we got to see all Yosemite had to offer. It is well off the grid but the wi fi had a good strong connection. There isn’t a grocery store or restaurants nearby so come prepared to cook. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. Yosemite is an amazing place and we would stay here again if we visit in the future,

convenient and well-equipped in Yosemite

The house is spacious, well-equipped, and just works well. The kitchen has everything you could want, including many spices and things like cooking oil and coffee filters. The beds are comfortable, bathrooms clean, and the living room and deck are both great for relaxing. All as described in the listing and in the photos - it all just works (and Judy's instructions are crystal clear). The location works well for spending a full day out in the valley, with the 35 minute drive each way - get out the door before 9am and parking is no problem in the Valley or up at Glacier Point/Taft/Sentinel lots. At the end of a day, it's great to come back to make dinner in a real kitchen rather than waiting in a long line for the lackluster food offerings in the valley. And nice to have full internet connectivity...Starlink is incredible. All told: highly recommended.

Ideal Vacation Home for Yosemite Park Visit

Fantastic Vrbo rental house! We had five family members who shared three bedrooms and two bathrooms – which was perfect for our group. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, silverware, and appliances (including a coffee maker, convection oven and regular gas stove). The kitchen table seated six and a very large couch provided plenty of space for our family. Abode was clean and tidy and provided plenty of bathroom amenities. You also have a comfortable outside deck and grill. Even though the regular A/C was broken, Judy provided a large (temporary) wall unit that kept everyone comfortable in the low 70’s while outside was 100 degrees (heat wave in early August). You also MUST follow Judy’s written road instructions to find her rental – the roads are a maze and Google; Apple Maps and generic paper maps don’t help. Having a rental in Yosemite West is also ideal for site-seeing and hiking in Yosemite National Park. You are 45 minutes from Yosemite Valley (the most heavily visited area – Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, El Capitan, etc.) and 40 minutes away from Mariposa Grove to the south. You are also near the turnoff to Glacial Point (a must-visit for viewing the Valley from 3500 feet above). Plus being in Yosemite West, you get a quiet relaxing evening away from the hustle & bustle of other park visitors. Enter the park with all of your groceries for the week and you’re set. So, if a park adventure awaits you – strongly consider this Vrbo in Yosemite West!

Great location

This house is 30 minutes from the valley floor 30 minutes from glacier point you can’t get any closer being in a private home. Great to avoid gate lines every day the host even put our name in with the national Park service eliminating the need for a NP reservation. The house is as advertised, clean, comfortable spacious for a family of five we will definitely book again when visiting Yosemite.

What a trip!

Yosemite west is sort of central to the park - half hour from lots of places - Mariposa, glacier point, and the valley floor. If you are like us and from a rural area this drive isn’t a big deal, however if you’re hoping to be in the thick of things and not wanting a long drive you may prefer to stay closer to the valley floor. We had some problems that weren’t the owners fault - the ac was out - it was super hot and they tried to help by bringing in a portable unit since there was no availability to change to another vrbo or hotel. It did help some but was still 78 plus in the house until after bedtime. The owner even let us stay in her private downstairs quarters which was cooler which was very kind. She is also issuing a partial refund. The record heat clearly overwhelmed the entire Yosemite west power grid - day 2 we lost all power as did all of YW! We spent all the time we could until late that night out of the house and made the most of our day. No ones fault just unfortunate circumstances but she was able to get us internet with a generator which was huge for my college kid who needed to complete some online work. Despite the rough circumstances beyond anyone’s control I will say we would come back. The amenities at this house were beyond compare. From lotion and bubble bath to spices and coffee, we were thankful for those small touches. I would say I’d love to see some beach type towels to use when we went to the waterfalls.

Location is good

Our family arrived to a very cold welcome the heart hadn’t been turned on so was 54 in the house. I wasn’t looking forward to using the rest room but hallelujah the toilet seats have warmers!! It would be nice if the floors did also; we found it very cold to walk around in socks. Another nice extra was a towel warmer. The owner is great, she is very responsive, she helped us out when the lighter wouldn’t work for the grill by contacting a neighbor that we could borrow one from. It took me a bit I found him and was grateful for the assist. The grill itself is due for a good cleaning or an upgrade but we made it work. After being shut down for the winter I had to clean out the ice maker to get it going again so we had ice for our cooler and the cleaning crew forgot to unload the dishwasher. I also couldn’t handle the bathroom exhaust fan and wiped it down. The driveway is very intimidating in the dark I would recommend arriving in daylight. Overall we would stay again but all the little things in this visit accounted for a 4 star vs 5 star rating.

Excellent location

Let’s start with the one little complaint then move on to the good stuff. One full length blind in the bedroom was broken so we hung a blanket to block out the light. Now the good stuff. It’s got everything you need. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. I drew short straw and slept in the full size in the bunk room. It was really comfortable. I slept well. The location is completely quiet. The seating area was comfy. It has tons of tv viewing options. Kitchen was easy to use. Area felt safe. Do not underestimate how valuable it is to stay within the park. Plan well, get your groceries and fill your tank on the way in and then you won’t have to leave the park again - translation: you won’t have to wait in the massively long line to get in the park every morning. Yosemite village actually feels like a big village and it’s kind of neat you get to “live” close by. Basically we made ourselves breakfast at home, left at 8 for the valley, had lunch in the valley, and made dinner at home. We did get quite dirty hiking. The bathrooms had several lotions, soaps, shampoos, and such to choose from as well as an abundance of towels. My husband grilled one night. Food came out good and he didn’t say he had any problems, so that’s good. Yeah, so, all in all it was quite nice.

Inaccurate property description

The property was inaccurately described on the VRBO website and upon arrival we realized right away. The listing is not a house, it’s a duplex and the unit is an upstairs apartment. There was no access to the driveway by way of car, issues with the water pressure and the washer & dryer was in the garage which is separate from the unit. The cleanliness was below acceptable and we spent our first evening washing sheets, pillowcases, cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming & mopping up piles of dust, candy wrappers, food scraps and trash. We reached out to the property attendant, Judy requesting a partial refund and an early check out which she immediately agreed to. She was very professional, easy to work with and easily accessible. Our experience was not the best. If the property description were more accurate and nightly rate reduced to reflect the accuracy we may consider another stay. But, for now, we are moving on.

Amazing location!

So happy with our stay here! Host was very helpful and communicative prior to and during our stay. Judy provided detailed arrival directions and house information. House was impeccably clean. Well stocked throughout. Lots of spices in the kitchen, plenty of toiletries in the bath including make-up remover towelettes, a towel warmer, extra blankets, space heaters, games (we loved smarty pants), fast WiFi. We lacked for nothing. Fireplace was easy to use and cozy. Quiet location at the edge of neighborhood. Quick access to Yosemite Village and Mariposa Grove. Pro tip: The beauty of this place is it’s remote - be sure you plan ahead. We gassed up and brought all the food we needed for our entire stay. That saved us longer trips to re-stock. Park recommendations: Don’t miss a chance to walk up to the Nose to El Capitan. Just off the Old Big Oak access point is a short loop trail that brings you right to the base of El Capitan. No crowds! And we happened across some climbers starting their ascent. Also don’t miss the Mariposa Grove on the south end of the park. We also hiked the Sentinel Meadow Cook’s Meadow loop which brings you by the lower Yosemite Falls, chapel and criss-crosses the valley with stunning views of Half Dome. The All Trails app has excellent hiking options. Be aware that you won’t have internet access in most of the park and download any maps ahead of time. And if you get a clear night definitely go stargazing!! Thank you Judy!!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Brandy Yoho

Host profile image
I have loved Yosemite since my teens. We climbers drank straight from all the rivers, and spent our days on the granite walls. In my early 20s, I climbed every major cliff in the Yosemite Valley, had barely enough money to buy a beer, and hitchhiked everywhere I couldn’t walk. My best memories…

This place is 12 miles from El Capitan Meadows, the best picnic spot in the Valley. At about 5500 feet above sea level, it’s nice and cool all summer when the Valley is sweltering. At the edge of the Yosemite West, there’s no development on any lot surrounding this one, so it’s private.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. Yosemite West is located inside the park entrance, and sits near an intersection of the roads leading to the park's most famous features: Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. These popular park destinations are all within 15-18 miles (30-35 minutes) from Yosemite West in three different directions. And for winter fun, we enjoy the Badger Pass ski area (only seven miles away).

What makes this property unique

Central air conditioning and central heat, 300 square feet deck with gas grill and seating.
