This property did not disappoint. Beautiful location with stunning views and a nice short walk to Foresta Falls. A well stocked kitchen made eating in easy. Ample space for four adults and everything was comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful introduction to Yosemite.

The view was incredible! The kitchen and rooms were well-appointed and thoughtfully laid out for travelers. When we had a mishap with an appliance, Jim was beyond responsive. He came to our aid with a short-term solution, then resolved the issue without disrupting our stay. We sat on the deck and watched the stars in the evenings after hiking in the Yosemite Valley all day and it was a lovely trip. If you like peace, quiet, and convenient access to the park with a view, I recommend this place!

Yosemite Valley View exceeded our high expectations. If we return to Yosemite, it will be our 1st choice for lodging. And the host communicated timely even though he was on PT and we were on ET traveling from Florida to California. Can recommend it enough. Well worth it.

This place not only had every amenity you could need or want, but also had the most spectacular view! We went with our adult sons and their girlfriends and we took full advantage of the stocked game cabinet and the collection of books related to Yosemite. It could not have been better!

This house has EVERYTHING! 3 spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 washers with 2 dryers …. It was amazing! I even found a hair dryer, curling iron and first aid kit with a generous supply of bandaids !

Fantastic property! It was the perfect location for us to explore the park in the beginning of April. It was so helpful to stay in the park, but away from the crowds. And the deck and view were amazing! A very well stocked house- we cooked most evening and had all the pots, pans, and spices we needed.
