This beautiful vacation home is conveniently located in Yosemite West - which allowed us to experience many areas of the park ( Yosemite Valley, Mariposa Grove, Nevada Falls, Glacier Point, etc) without long drives to our destinations. Steve was exceptional at answering our questions and addressing any concerns. The kitchen is very well organized and stocked with any item you could imaginably need. Our stay here was perfect and we hope to return again !!

Excellent location to visit Yosemite. Best stocked vacation home I've ever stayed at. They had everything you could need for a trip which is critical since it's a remote location. House was clean and everything was included for our stay. Loved it.

We had an amazing stay at this property. Never have we had such a well appointed VRBO. The little extra touches that Steve provided were warm & welcoming. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed and more! Steve was prompt in answering any questions that we had before & during our stay. The location was perfect. No more than 30 minutes to anything we wanted to see in the park. Very quiet location. Make sure you take a look at the night sky. The stars were incredible.If you are considering this property and it is available, don't hesitate to book. You will be pleased that you did!

The Copper Bear Lodge as a great place and location for a Yosemite vacation. Only 7 miles from the Tunnel view parking lot and entrance to Yosemite Valley. Took approx 25 minutes to get to anywhere in the valley. Only 1:45 from Fresno airport it is well situated. The house was very clean and in good condition and easily accommodated our group of 7. Steve the owner is very responsive to your inquiry's and gave us a lot of information before the trip on local restaurants and hikes in the Valley as well as groceries and other helpful bits. Overall, highly recommend the Copper Bear and look forward to our next stay at this great house.

Copper Bear Lodge was the perfect getaway. Beautiful home, super organized, fully stocked kitchen, and tons of thoughtful details that made everything easy and comfortable. The host was quick to respond when we had a question, and we felt right at home the whole time. Best of all, the home is just minutes away from all the must-see, iconic Yosemite spots. We’d absolutely stay again. Thanks, Steve!

Fantastic property in Yosemite to relax and enjoy nature.Everything you can think of is included, a well appointed kitchen with everything you could need, a games room and outdoor decking area with a Blackstone grill - everything was spotlessly clean throughout. The snack basket and bathroom amenities (for anything you've forgotten) were also a really nice welcoming touch.

Perfect home base in Yosemite

Copper Bear Lodge is the perfect home base to explore Yosemite. Steve has a gorgeous home, well appointed with everything you need to be comfortable. We especially enjoyed using the Blackstone grill and the lovely porch. The kids made good use of the mini arcade, and we saw four bears during our stay!

The home was fabulous and centrally located within Yosemite National Park. The host left us a fabulous welcome basket of goodies. The lock on door was easy to use. It was truly a trophy home that we were grateful to stay in.

Perfect Base for Yosemite

House is welcoming, well equipped, comfortable and most of all convenient to Yosemite. Great base for exploring Yosemite and comfortable to come home to after long hikes. Host responsive, flexible and provided clear instructions and guidance. Especially appreciated the Yosemite themed video collection and the many Yosemite recommendations/guides located in the house. Would certainly stay again.
