We spent 5 days exploring Yosemite and this was the perfect base camp. Enough kitchen essentials that we could make food, cozy bed, and beautiful setting. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood in the evenings. Host was receptive and helpful and check-in was super simple.
Thank you for your review. Enjoy the peace in Foresta while having good access to most points of Yosemite National Park. Avoid the crowded restaurants and have your own home cooked meals after your adventures.
It was close to Yosemite Valley. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. If you are looking for a simple place to relax after a day of exploring this checks the boxes.

Thank you for your review. Close to Yosemite Valley, this quiet location has all you need for a restful vacation. Or, many adventures!
This property was exactly what we were looking for during our exploration of YNP! The location was convenient to Yosemite Valley and Tioga Road destinations. The kitchen well stocked, the bed comfortable and the lodging was clean with beautiful surroundings. Any communication with host Annie was prompt and helpful. We would be delighted to return! Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

Thank you for your 5 star review! I have nothing to add, your comments couldn’t get any better. We a glad you enjoyed your stay, come on back!
Overall it was good. Could use a new mattress. Floors could have been damp mopped and rugs shook out. Bathroom and kitchen were nicely cleaned. Floor at front door was rotting. Overall floors had some weak points and loud creaking when you walked on them.
Great location in the quiet forest close to Yosemite Valley. The home had all the necessities for an easy stay. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was very nice. We very much enjoyed our time here.

Thank you for your review. Modern amenities, comfortable bed and away from the crowds. No place like Foresta!
Had a great stay at Shady Grove. It’s in a most ideal location very central and close to routes to explore the park. 20min to Yosemite valley. 1- hr to Glacier point. 1- hour to Mariposa Grove. 1hr 20 min to Tioga pass. Definitely plan on finding your way to the cabin in the day light. Follow the host’s instructions and stay on the paved road and you will easily find it. Plan on bringing enough groceries and supplies for your stay. the markets in the park are limited and expensive. The small kitchenette was functional for light cooking purposes. Coffee maker and microwave all worked well. It was a perfect experience for my first solo trip to Yosemite. All the conveniences of staying in the valley but no crowds and very quiet. 10 outta 10 would stay again!
It was the perfect size for the 2 of us. The bed is very soft but did provide enough support. Having internet was necessary are there were many places in the park without cell service. I could plan the day and download maps before heading out. The only issue we ran into was that we couldn't find local channels on the Dish service so we had to watch replays of a couple of World Cup games. I was able to record those replays on the system so we could watch at our leisure the next day.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you found our hidden corner of Yosemite. Great access to all parts of the park and peace and quiet after your adventures.
Thank you for your review. Foresta is a beautiful, hidden corner of Yosemite with access to all areas of the park. Our managers have lived in Yosemite for more thirty years and are happy to share their tips.
We had an excellent stay in this little cabin. The location was perfect for exploring Yosemite and not having to exit/re-enter the park. Would definitely stay again!
