Cozy Family Cabin Near Yosemite

This cozy and charming cabin is approx 1,500 sq. ft. that has an open loft that can sleep 2 adults and 2 small children and 2 bedrooms that can sleep 4 with 2 bathrooms. The kitchen and main floor bathroom have been totally remodeled! We have two showers now, one downstairs and the new one on the main living area. There are 3 Smart TVs, wireless internet, microwave, dishwasher, oven, washer and dryer, forced air heating, air conditioning, wood stove, mudroom/laundry room and outdoor deck with a gas grill. We have security cameras around the perimeter of the cabin, but are not inside the cabin. These cameras are reviewed by the property manager only if there was a complaint or an issue. The cabin is walking distance to the Tenaya Lodge, which has restaurants, bar, bike rentals and horse carriage rides. It is a short 2 mile drive to the southern gate of Yosemite and Mariposa Grove. Bass Lake is just 13 miles away. There is also Horseback riding and the famous Sugar Pine Railroad within 2 miles. The community of Fish Camp is a location where parking can be difficult to find, but our cabin has off-street parking enough for 3-4 cars and a drive-thru driveway, which you will find to be very convenient. Our cabin is a non-smoking cabin, NO SMOKING EITHER IN THE CABIN OR ON THE DECK! Please respect this policy, we would appreciate that. Enjoy our cozy family cabin!

Comfortable Stay
Our short stay was delightful. We bbq’d hamburgers, slept well, did our laundry, watched movies, and spent quality time exploring Yosemite. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and we had plenty of bath towels. I’d recommend staying there to anyone. A couple things to be aware of, we found evidence of mouse droppings underneath kitchen sink and upper bathroom sink. We cleaned the bbq but couldn’t put on the cover because it was still too hot. Watch your step taking the garbage down to the cans as the pine needles make the ground very slippery.

Awesome Yosemite
The wood cabin set in the big pines was the perfect place. The first 3 days was family in for a wedding and the last 3 days were friends. We all loved the cabin. Very well appointed and comfortable for both groups. Location was right on! Loved it. Thank you to the owners for sharing!

Cabin
The cabin itself is nice but i guess it had an AC ISSUE because the unit was hot during our stay especially at night to sleep we couldn’t use the portion of the house and we had to all sleep in the bottom floor in one room with fans because there was no circulation of air on the top floors :(

Cozy Cabin
We had a fantastic time in this adorable cabin. The location was ideal, so close to the Yosemite South entrance. We visited the park 3 days and enjoyed coming home to our little cabin. It was great making dinner and eating on the patio. The kitchen is well stocked including food storage containers. This was helpful since we had leftovers from one of our dinners. The host was very quick to respond and had detailed instructions on how to access the cabin. He suggested pizza at the Tenaya Lodge. We ate there our last night and it was wonderful! We played pool and watched basketball while enjoying delicious pizza. What a great way to end our family vacation!

Yosemite getaway
The house is even more charming than the photos! Check in/out details were very easy and helpful, and the house was very clean. The location is very close to the southern park entrance and a really yummy nice restaurant (The Jackelope) located at a local lodge. 10/10 recommend and would love to stay again if we were to come back to the area!

Perfect Family Cabin near Yosemite
Great option for a family hiking in Yosemite. The washer and dryer were a huge plus to keep up with hiking laundry after being at the national park for the day. Enjoyed all the space that our family of 5 had with plenty of room for a few more guests. We missed the king bed not being on the same floor as the updated master bath. That would have been a great addition! The location of the home was delightfully peaceful and has a beautiful pine smell, truly enhanced our vacation. Check the backyard for huge sugar pine cones, a big hit for our son.

Nice but a few problems
Great location and had everything we needed, but was cold in the basement and bed not too comfortable. Also the bathtub and some parts of the floor were a little dirty. Coffee maker also not working. However, overall nice stay.

Great location, clean and cozy cabin
Enjoyed my stay, no complaints. I didn’t realize there was only a single shower (perhaps I didn’t read the property description closely enough but I didn’t realize the bathroom on the main floor is only a tub) but that didn’t affect my stay.

Great cabin and perfect location!
We absolutely loved our stay at this sweet family cabin. While it has been lived in and loved for many years, we found it to be incredibly clean; the kitchen, bathrooms, towels and bed linens were immaculate. It has such a great vibe and truly reflects the kind and gracious owners who have been nothing but welcoming and accommodating. There really is a great vibe here. We loved the location as we had one day in the national park and a couple days at Bass Lake- it is perfectly situated for both destinations. This cabin is special and we thank the owners for sharing it with us. :)

Cabin in the woods
Our stay at this lovely cabin in the woods was an excellent experience. We spent most of our time at Yosemite Park. This was a great place to come back to. It was comfortable with excellent amenities and beds. We felt completely refreshed each morning for our next excursion. Host's communication was also very good.

A Gem at the entrance of Yosemite!
This place it is located just at the entrance of the Park and it is truly what a mountain cabin should be! Personally I think the pictures do not do this cabin justice, it is soo much more gorgeous in real life! We loved every little touch, the John Muir quotes, ( my son just wrote a report on John Muir biography and was so exited to see them) and the view from the loft in the morning, when you wake up and see the forest in the early lights it was just dreamy! We celebrated my mom's 82 birthday and coming from a family of rock climbers and mountain rescue, this place made my mom's birthday extra special! Thank you Ken and Ronna for sharing your beautiful cabin with us! I would give it 10 stars if I could! ( the check in and check out process super easy)

Cozy Cabin
This is a wonderful little cabin. Great location with everything you need. We were close to the Tenaya Lodge where we had a wonderful dinner and went sledding. The only issue was the wood stove was not working probably which was a bummer. We contacted the owner and it is being looked into. Still would recommend this place for a nice get away.

Close to Yosemite and Surrounding area
When you stay here you are close to it all. We were minutes away from Tenya lodge and hikes around there and a short drive from Yosemite main entrance. Drive down the hill to get some axe throwing in or dinner in Oakhurst. A great location and plenty of space for a large family to stay in.

About the host

Hosted by Ken and Ronna Sorenson

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 living in Solvang, CA with Ken being a CPA and owning his own CPA firm and Ronna working as an interior designer. Our son, Colby works in Brentwood, CA and our daughter, Shane, works in San Diego. We have 2 dogs, Rico and Lulu.

Why they chose this property

Ken has been going to Fish Camp for over 60 years since he was 4 years old. His family used to stay at a family friend's cabin, which just so happens to be next door to this cabin!! When the owner/builder of this cabin was ready to sell in 2004, they offered the cabin to Ken and his parents before it even went on the market, as they knew it would be taken care of and kept special. We have been coming to this cabin as a family since our kids were just 12 and 7 years old and it holds such special memories. Since Ken's dad passed away in August 2012, we decided to share these memories by renting the cabin to other families so they can enjoy the love that surrounds our cabin.

What makes this property unique

This cabin feels like you just stepped out of a storybook. It is surrounded by large pine trees, yet it has all the comforts of home.
