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

*** OUR GUESTS: Our vacation home has been enjoyed by couples on their honeymoon, many anniversaries, "I'll be asking her hand" events, and many book lovers, romantic stargazers, painters and photographers. Activities in the park are many: fishing, hiking, rock climbing, biking, birdwatching and much more. More active folks can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, sledding, ice skating, river rafting, and horseback riding to name a few.
*** 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 - Some of the many 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!
