No neighbors in sight when you look out towards the western horizon and nothing between you and glorious sunsets and millions of stars ... centrally situated in relation to the three most visited tourist areas listed above!

*** This is a place away from the crowded Yosemite Valley floor, a place for evening relaxation: sit back and enjoy the wind whispering through the cedars, pines and dogwoods; stargazers can marvel at the clear night skies with millions of stars while listening to the sounds of the forest from the large decks!
Yosemite offers world-famous vistas and a variety of activities for everyone, year around - A few examples of the many organized activities offered are: free art classes (watercolor, sketching & drawing, etc.), morning photography walks, a Valley Birdwalk, and special programs designed for families and children.
*** Enjoy Yosemite's beauty and the conveniences offered by a vacation house inside the park ... you won't leave disappointed!

The Sunset house is perfect to visit Yosemite instead of being in a hotel. The house is perfectly equipped with evetything you could need, it is very clean and comfortable. It is also in a very convenient location to visit the valley and the south part of the park.The park is awesome, we would love to go back again.

We (family of 4) spent 3 nights at the Sunset House in August. We had everything we needed for a restful and comfortable stay and the sunsets were amazing. If you are looking for a home-from-home place for your family within 30 mins of the valley and the sequoia grove, don't hesitate to book.
Owner response:Thank you for your review and also for leaving the house in excellent condition. We are glad to hear that you had a chance to experience the beautiful sunsets -- Come back soon!

My wife and I spent A LOT of time searching for just the right home to rent during our May, 2010 trip to Yosemite. We could not find any home that could top the Yosemite Sunset House. The home exceeded our expectations and Georgeta is the type of owner you want to rent from. The home is a short drive from the valley floor and is located in a very quiet area, which was nice to come home to, after experiencing all of the crowds.

Greetings Georgeta! We had an amazing vacation at your cabin last week! It was so comfortable and cozy, truly a home away from home. The first 4 days were gorgeous, then on Mother's Day our kids experienced their first snow fall. I think they enjoyed your cabin just as much, if not more than the National Park. We haven't stopped raving about it since we got home yesterday and have recommended your place very highly to everyone. We hope to return to Yosemite next year for another unforgettable vacation.

A House With A View

The Sunset House truly stands up to its name. We spent our Spring break week here, and had clear skies with beautiful sunsets every evening. The house and apartment came with all the amenities needed for our family of seven. I was especially grateful that the kitchen was so well-equipped since I had planned to cook every day. It was a short 10-15 minutes drive to Badger Pass Ski Area where my youngest son took his first ski lessons, and the rest of my family enjoyed snow boarding, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and snow-shoeing. The valley is about 20-25 minutes away, and the drive there is very scenic. Georgeta is a wonderful owner who really cares about her guests' experience. She even called to make sure that we would be comfortable driving in snowy condition, knowing that we live in Houston, TX. She always promptly responded to my many questions and concerns. Don't hesitate to rent the Sunset House.

I wanted to drop a note and thank you for a wonderful stay at the Sunset House. Your house was perfect for our family! We found everything we needed and felt right at home. I wish my home was as spotless and clean as the Sunset House! The house is indeed worthy of its name, with unrivaled sunsets. Thank you for making our vacation a memorable one. We'll be sure and send our friends your way! Yours, Merav

Dear Georgeta, this is to tell you again we have enjoyed very much your comfortable house in the amazing Yosemite Park. We found everything we needed and appreciated very much how everything was set up. Thank you also for sharing with your guests your books and CDs and DVDs and definitely your taste. It's so terrific to admire the sunset listening to Mozart! Unfortunately we are not close enough to say we are coming back for sure. However,... "arrivederci!"

Hi Georgeta, I just wanted to say a big thank you for letting us stay in your house recently during our three-week fly-drive of LA, Grand Canyon, Zion, Yosemite, San Francisco and Big Sur. Sunset House is a magical place and it was so nice not to be in a hotel room for once! We had a wonderful time in Yosemite and we would love to return – I think it was my favourite place of the whole trip. We even saw a bear at Glacier Point, which was quite exciting! We will be back! Thanks again.

Hi Georgeta, Just to let you know we had a great time at Sunset House. We really enjoyed getting out on the tracks and walking to the many waterfalls and rivers which were flowing well. Yes, we did get to see two bears - but they weren't the least bit interested in us. The shuttle buses around the valley were great but it was wonderful being "far from the madding crowds" in the evenings sat on the deck with a nice glass of wine. The house was so well equipped you could not want for anything. (Did we remember to put the hair dryer away) A most enjoyable stay. Thank you so much Hedley

The house was great, thank you so much for a good resting place after a long and exhausting week. It was nice to come to a place that was light and airy and just . . . peaceful in every way.
