Yosemite River Cabin
LOCATION . . . Approximately 5 minutes from the West Entrance to Yosemite National Park just off Highway 120 at 3,800 foot elevation. The cabin is actually located on the historic Big Oak Flat road into Yosemite National Park which was used by those traveling from the San Francisco Bay Area. Decades ago, the owner of the property in this area actually installed a number of gates along this road in an attempt to inconvenience and discourage those venturing into Yosemite. Obviously, today he is no longer a factor, and people are no longer discouraged from enjoying this beautiful national treasure.
YOSEMITE RIVER CABIN . . . A beautiful retreat, honeymoon getaway for two or more, nature vacation, and fabulous family recreation experience.
THE RIVER . . . Yosemite River Cabin is situated on nearly 1.25 acres, mostly flat, with beautiful pines, dogwood and cedar. In the evening you'll enjoy moon rises over your back yard. If you arrive in the vicinity of a full moon, you may enjoy a mystical experience from your rear porch. Sip wine on the porch and relax to river sounds and the sounds of the forest while enjoying one of the good books provided, or stroll a hundred feet or so to the river's edge for soothing moments of relaxation and beauty. Your cabin has over three hundred feet of river frontage at the back and to the right of the property. It is located on the South Fork of the Tuolumne River right at the confluence where Big Creek flows into the Tuolumne from its opposite bank.
NATURE IS ABUNDANT . . . We've noticed when we are in the San Francisco Area where we maintain our other home, we no longer smell fragrances or see wildlife that is as abundant as at Yosemite National Park and Yosemite River Cabin. In nature fragrances and wildlife are plentiful. At the Yosemite River Cabin we have seen swarms of ladybugs, beautiful butterflies (including Blue Dots), fish in the river, lizards, foxes up the road (but so far not on the property), deer (regularly in the area), and a bobcat once. We've even seen a couple bears a few miles away inside the park at Crane Flat, a very common place to view bear we're told. (Crane Flat is also a convenient destination for cross country skiing in Winter.) Yosemite River Cabin is truly a place to see and experience sites uncommon to our daily lives.
THE PROPERTY . . . Nearly level, the property provides plenty of room for play or relaxation. Enjoy a barbeque, relax in the sun, play in the snow (from time to time in the Winter), or hike and experience nature along one of the many nearby trails. Located within a mile of Yosemite River Cabin at Highway 120 is a general store, which provides some food service and which is a handy place for extra supplies, charcoal, maps, gas, chains in Winter, and souvenirs.
YOSEMITE RIVER CABIN ACCOMMODATIONS . . . Your cabin is fully equipped with a full kitchen, including granite counters, farm house sink, gas range and oven, microwave, dishwasher, disposal and refrigerator. Pots, pans, utensils, glasses, teapot, coffee maker, toaster and much more are provided. The living area includes a dining table with back yard view, living room with leather sofa, leather chair, flat screen HDTV for DVD movies or CD music. Over 100 movies are provided, numerous board games and two or three dozen books, including some great history on the area. Also, available is wireless Internet access if needed. In addition, you'll find on the wall in the hall a government topographic map of the section to familiarize yourself with the area. Each room has a unique designer ceiling fan as well as it's own distinct character. In the living room you will find a propane gas stove which thermostatically controls cabin temperature. Out your back door is a raised porch with a view of the yard and the forest that is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine or juice and taking in the beauty of your surroundings. Indian arrowheads have been found on the property, and Indian grinding and birthing stones are in the immediate area.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS . . . Yosemite River Cabin includes three bedrooms. Bedroom One has a queen bed, Bedroom Two has a double bed, and Bedroom Three has a bunk bed, which is a double bed size on the lower and a single bed on the upper. While we believe this cabin is ideal for up to 6 persons, the upper bunk does provide a 7th sleeping space when needed. Rooms have amoires and chests for clothing and storage.
RESTAURANTS IN AREA . . . Within a few minutes are two very good restaurants. Evergreen Lodge on Evergreen Road is our nearby favorite with a wide range of exceptional offerings. They also provide a nice selection of wines to accompany your meal and from time to time provide live music and popular music festivals on their grounds. A second nearby choice, the 49er Restaurant, located at Buck Meadows, opened in Spring 2008 and is becoming very popular any night of the week. It is more casual than Evergreen Lodge, with shuffle board and bar adjoining, and is a nice place to dine for a quick "night on the town."
A RULE OR TWO: This charming smoke-free cabin has been extensively remodeled in luxurious fashion. It is a no smoking, no pets facility. If you smoke inside or bring a pet, you will forfeit your entire deposit. Please understand, this is for the continued comfort of all our guests. Thank you for your understanding.

Just got back from this wonderful place, and I really miss the sound of the river. It's one of the first things we all noticed when we got out of our car..... so beautiful, even with only one window open in the cabin you can here the river- we all loved it. The cabin is awesome, it is so well taken care of and the quality is outstanding. Clear pine tounge and groove ceilings throughout brought back childhood memories. The bathroom is perfect, nice tile work, soaker tub, again with the river sounds, because there is a small window in the bathroom. The air is so fresh, the trees, the sky, the land, I miss it all. I highly recommend staying at this cabin, they have thought of everything ( I over packed). Getting to Yosemite was really a snap- if you leave before 8:30 am, it is only 5 miles or approximately 8 minutes! You enter at the 120 West entrance of Yosemite and their is an information station right as you enter to plan your day and route. The people who work at Yosemite are really kind and helpful. This was a great trip and coming back to this cabin at the end of the day was so nice. A couple days we just stayed at the cabin, relaxing. Thanks for such a great cabin!!!

We loved our time at the Yosemite River Cabin. The property was very well equipped, very clean and modern.we really struggled with whether we should stay in the park or outside the park, but we are so glad we stayed here because it was close enough to be convenient, but far enough away to get much better value for money, and to be away from the crowds of the park.

An Oasis in the Woods

What a delightful place to stay! Absolutely charming interior with attractive tile floors, full kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. There's even a handy stackable washer and dryer, which enables you to travel light. The phrase "warm and cozy" does not completely capture how inviting the Yosemite River Cabin actually is. And you can hear the soothing gurgle of the passing Tuolumne River from the open screen door off the kitchen. The YRC is ideally located about 40-45 minutes from the Yosemite Valley floor--we never felt like it was too far from where we were exploring. It is such a memorable place that I can picture staying there again and again. I highly recommend this 'Oasis in the Woods' for all travelers. 5 stars!!!

This beautifully decorated and thoughtfully provisioned home was the perfect setting for our family gathering - parents and adult children. We were pleasantly surprised at the brilliant use of a small space. The property was sparkling clean and well-maintained. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the river was memorable. The wooden bench by the river was a perfect place for morning coffee in the sun! The location was convenient - close to the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite. Everything was perfect!

The home itself was immaculate and so clean. Not a signle speck of dust anywhere. The kitchen was so well equiped. Overall, awesome experience!

Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your cabin. After pulling up and seeing how beautiful the surroundings were from the grounds, to the trees, to the sounds of the river, I knew this was going to be a great place for us to stay. Once entering the cabin, I couldn't stop from telling my husband over and over how clean everything was (I'm a bit of a clean freak). You would expect some dust or dirt being that it is a cabin in the mountains, but no. I was very impressed. The new appliances, the comfy beds-everything was absolutely perfect! The cabin was so quiant, yet very comfortable for our family. This is by far the nicest place we have rented, and it will be so tough to beat-we may have to return! Thanks again!

The 5 of us stayed for three nights at this great place. Previous people said it best - Charming, clean warm, and beautifully decorated. The owners have really thought of everything to make our stay so enjoyable! The house has all you need, the furnishings are top notch, nice linens and towels, washer/dryer, including soap and all cleaning supplies. We spent three days all around Yosemite and then came back to this restful place. It was great to sit in the back, drink coffee in the morning and listen to the river. The kids loved the river and big yard with tons of ladybugs! Such a perfect time and great memory! Thank you!

"We have totally enjoyed our four nights at the cabin. We felt so welcomed when we arrived... Charming, clean and beautifully decorated. Also, nice touch to have the basics and more in the cupboards! We have spent two full days hiking at Yosemite, Vernal Falls & Tuolumne Meadows & finally wonderful wedding down at the Tuolumne Camp. Absolutely perfect time! Thank you, Diane & Ron
