  We so enjoyed a wonderful long weekend with our adult children and their friends. Our visit included hikes and sightseeing by day and family meals by night. We all took turns cooking meals and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and staples. The view from the deck while barbecueing was wonderful!! The photographers in the family really enjoyed taking pictures of the wildflowers around the home and scenery from the deck. We couldn't have chosen a better home, with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms we had plenty of space. The kids enjoyed the loft with the nintendo and we all sat around the table at night playing games (great selection). The home is clean, comfortable, well maintained and the owner provides everything you could want or need. We would love to make this an annual visit! Thank you for making our family weekend so memorable!

  Having stayed in Foresta before, I knew how nice it was. But, this home really added something to the experience. Great amenities, comfortable, well maintained, and very clean. The big front deck with tremendous view of Half Dome and El Capitain cannot be beat. Watched the bats come out each night, listened to chirping birds each morning, watched deer graze from the deck. Easy to get to Valley, Hetch Hetchy, and Tioga Road. Will definitely try to come back - hopefully before I turn 60.

  The first weekend in November could not have been more perfect in this lovely abode. We woke up to a winter wonderland of snow. The name "Yosemite Valley View" accurately describes the incredible views from this home. This property is exceptionally clean and well maintained, and the kitchen is well stocked. I have already recommended it to several friends. It was easy to be in Yosemite Valley in less than 15 minutes. Thank you!

  This was our first visit to Yosemite and we were just awed by the beauty of the park. This home added to the delightful experience. It was wonderful to return here after a long and tiring day of exploring and hiking. The view from the gigantic deck is lovely, and we enjoyed every breakfast and dinner outdoors. The 3 bathrooms really made life easy as we had 6 people in total. The kitchen is fully stocked, and the bathrooms had loads of clean towels, wash cloths, etc. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were sparkling clean. We felt so sorry for the campers who were roughing it with no creature comforts! Also, the owner is very organized and responsive. A real plus when you live on the other side of the country and are planning a special vacation.

  We were wowed from the first minute in this vacation home. The location insdide the park was convenient but be aware that it is a dirt road with some somewhat large bumps. Our rental car was a Chrysler 300 (which has very low ground clearance) and it rubbed the underside on the bumps but we were able to make it without any other problems. The furniture was older but in good enough condition and it was very comfortable. The view is excellent and it was soooo quiet. After spending the day in the chaos of the crows in the valley, it was an incredible experience to return to this house and spend some time on the large deck. We couldn't hear anything except birds, the wind in the trees and the river in the distance. The kitchen has everything you would want. There was even a few basic spices and some cooking oil. We cooked pork chops the first night and lasagna the second night. There's a TV with a Nintendo 64, a DVD player and a VCR but no TV reception. The TV also has a VGA input that you can use with a laptop but you'll have to bring a VGA cable if you want to do that. We had limited cell phone recepton and no 2G/3G service from Verizon. It was actually kind of nice to unplug for a few days so we weren't really bothered by the lack of TV or internet. My son and I enjoyed the foosball table and dart board downstairs and the bedrooms were very comfortable. Not sure if we'll ever return to Yosemite but this is where I'll stay if we do. I would highly recommed it.

  We (2 couples) stayed here for 3 nights for the last few days of May 2011. The house is perfectly located for sightseeing within the park and has every amenity. We loved the peace and quiet away from the crowds at Yosemite Village and dad particularly enjoyed the BBQ on the deck with fabulous views of Half Dome and El Capitan. When we visit California again I would 100% book Yosemite Valley View. Excellent service from booking to a very sad departure

  We have been home for almost a week and still basking in the afterglow of staying in your comfortable cabin in Floresta. Yosemite Valley View is so well appointed, it had everything we needed, including a star chart!. Then when you add in the view, it was over the top! It was the perfect place to celebrate my 70th birthday. I invited my three brothers who had never visited Yosemite Point. They have not stopped talking about Yosemite and the magical time we spent together ever since. We viewed stars at night and spent one evening at Glacier Point. We have visited Yosemite many times but this visit was truly special. Thank you.

  The house was perfect for our family. It was extremely comfortable and spacious and a great place to relax after a day of exploring the park. The kitchen is well supplied to cook any meal for your family and we enjoyed eating every evening on the picnic table on the deck overlooking a great view of Half Dome. The best part was no internet, phone, e-mail or television - just peace and quiet.

  We just returned from a fabulous Christmas week at Yosemite Valley View. The property is precisely as described and we were happy with everything. It is the ideal location inside the park to Yosemite Valley, the views of the stars are magnificent and of Half Dome and El Capitan as well. It was perfect for our two families of two adults/two children. We will certainly be returning and recommending this property to all who inquire.
