Foresta is a great starting point to various Yosemite destinations, Yosemite Valley, Tuolumne Meadows, the Merced & Tuolumne Groves of Sequoias and many hiking trails. Offering Free satellite TV, WIFI and HughesNet Gen4 internet, Verizon's 4G network is also available.

Foresta is located within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park. Now known as an “inholding”, Foresta (Big Meadow) started as a pioneering area. Two ranches (McCauley and Meyers) provided beef, pork, dairy and vegetables to the Yosemite Valley hotels. In the twenties, it was sub-divided and given the name of Foresta. Created as an “artistic” community, musical gatherings were held by the creek. After the Great Depression, many lots were sold for back taxes. Approximately 75 homes were in use, either full time or seasonally, before the 1993 A-Rock fire destroyed most of them. More than half of the homes have now been rebuilt. Fire has been a defining force in this area, showcasing Mother Nature's endless cycles.

Great place to stay in the park! Has everything you need in one place. Be sure to read the directions closely and I would recommend arriving in the daylight. It’s about 25-30 minutes to get to the valley so take that into account.

Nice cabin, Amazing property

House was all you needed. The little dirt road lead down to an awesome mountain river with tons of birds. Further down the road it opened up into a beautiful valley and mountains. So peaceful it was hard to leave.

Amazing location!

My sister and I stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Yosemite. The cabin was small but had everything we needed. Location was really amazing - we were in heart of Yosemite Valley in 30 minutes. Bonus - Foresta Falls hike right outside our door!

Great place to stay in Yosemite

This is an awesome place to stay for location to everything great about Yosemite! There is a fun hike to Foresta Falls right outside your door. The cabin was very well equiped for those that wish to eat in and cook. The only reason Icannot give the location a 5 star rating is the queen bed being very very saggy. For some this may not be a big deal but for this price range the bed should be better.

Yosemite hiking

location was nice--10 minutes to tunnel view, another 10 to valley village, perfect for most of the things we wanted to see. Kitchen was very adequate for our needs--no oven but nice grill outside and a Jenn Aire type cooktop inside, full size fridge. Dish TV. Room set up like a large hotel with kitchenette. Good sized bathroom area, outstanding water pressure and temp. Small porch on back of house with tree canopy. Very good property for 2 people spending most of our days hiking. Owners communication was very good. Enjoyed our stay.

Location amazing. Cleanliness lacking.

Location was 100% perfect. The house was as expected as far as 1 room/ w/bath. Linens clean and ease of check in. However, it was stated there was a deadbolt-there is not. Owner made it a point to ask us to leave as clean as we found it-which we did...HOWEVER, it needs a deep cleaning badly! The floor is filthy, after i showered/dried i literally walked from bathroom to chair and my feet were filthy! Baseboards were thick with dirt, around fridge was filthy as well. We washed the few dishes we used before we used them, they were greasy feeling. While the bed clothes were clean, they were stained. We are not snobs at all, we expect some use. We do not however expect to feel we were told untruths about the home. It is not clean to Vrbo standards. Again, Location was perfect. We left this home as we found it and gollowed check out instructions. We would not stay here again.

Great Location Inside The Park

This property was as advertised. There was easy access to all areas of the park. No waiting in line each day to enter the park. It was hot when we visited so it was nice to have an air conditioned cabin to come back to.

Loved this Cabin 20 min. From Yosemite Valley!

This cabin felt about as close as you could stay in Yosemite Valley (unless you’re paying to stay in the lodges or camping). The proximity made it simpler to get to all of the nearby hikes and eateries in the valley. The cabin itself was perfect for our needs and we didn’t have any issues. It’s great for 1-2 adults! The manager, Annie, was amazing! She communicated with us every step of the way. Highly recommend!
