A very sweet little cabin at the end of the road. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the hike down the road from the cabin. It was private, quiet and very clean.included all the kitchen necessities we needed. We highly recommend this sweet little cabin.
Great place, quiet and clean. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed to prepare our groceries. Would highly recommend as a base of operations for Yosemite.

Thank you for your review. This cabin is close to most points of interest in Yosemite. Avoid the crowds and prepare your home cooked meals in the fully stocked kitchen. Eat on the screened porch and take a walk to nearby Crane Creek.
Cabin is very remote. We liked the peace and quiet after a long day. Very nostalgic, cozy cabin!

Thank you for your review. Seems remote, but this quiet cabin is close to most points of interest in Yosemite. There are also some good trails near the cabin. Don’t miss Crane Creek just steps away!
My wife and I had such a wonderful stay. Perfect location to explore the different areas of the park—easy access to the valley, and about an hour from either Toulumne Meadows or Mariposa Grove. Property is tucked away from the crowds and really easy to find. The kitchen had everything we needed for breakfast (plenty of coffee filters and some medium/dark roast options), and a few dinners in. Would highly recommend to those looking to explore everything Yosemite has to offer.

Thank you for your 5 star review! Foresta is hidden in plain site away from the crowds. Enjoy your Yosemite adventures and come back for a home cooked meal. Ah, morning coffee on the screened porch…
The cabin was in a great place and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The Host was very gracious and attentive to our needs. Our daily trip into Yosemite Valley was only 10-15 minutes, and the drive up and down is beautiful. We recommend this option if you want to stay in the park and close to the Valley.

Thank you for your review. Close to the valley, but away from the crowds. Enjoy cooking your own meals and eating on the screened porch. Have your daily advert and sleep in peace.
Really great location! Had a feeling of history. Very cozy. Had a little trouble with location as I had no service so no map app. I’d suggest doing a screenshot before going down the hill. The pillows were not good. Otherwise, loved it.

Thank you for your review. Foresta seems remote, but is close to many Yosemite adventures. We’ve added a variety of pillows for a comfortable, quiet sleep.
Our stay at Oak Wood Cabin was everything we were hoping for and more. The location is ideal, and we were truly nestled in nature. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The owner (Laura) and caretaker (Annie) answered any question we had quickly and were helpful with information about the area. We could reach every area of the park, and it’s particularly well situated if you’re spending time in Tuolumne or Hetch-Hetchey. If we’re lucky enough to come back, we already know where we will be staying!
Location was amazing! It took us about 20 minutes to get to Curry Village. The host was very responsive and gave excellent directions and check in information. The house is rustic but has updated kitchen. The mattress is very firm which was uncomfortable for us, but may be fine for others. My only recommendation is maybe a mattress topper available in the very large closet. Again, you cannot beat the location. There is actually a trailhead for YNP just steps from the cabin that leads to an amazing private creek area and 40’ waterfall.

Thank you for your review. Foresta is a peaceful place with its own creek, trails and meadows away from the crowds. The kitchen has all you need and a screened porch to enjoy your meals. Thank you for your suggestions, a topper may be the way to go.
This place is perfect! Away from the crowds, clean comfortable and well appointed kitchen. Would absolutely rent here again if we go back to Yosemite!

Loved staying in the park. Nice cabin in the woods with everything you need. Bed was comfortable, kitchen looks recently remodeled, bathroom was clean, and the area was beautiful.
The location Inside the park was awesome. Private, safe and very comfortable. Very rustic cabin but updated with complete kitchen, entertainment and wifi. The best was being minutes from Yosemite Valley and all the great hiking. I would stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay at this remote cabin in the park.

Thanks, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay in Foresta away from the crowds. What seems remote is just a short drive to Yosemite Valley and many other points of interest. Bring food and enjoy home cooking in the modern kitchen and eating on the screened porch.
Great quiet location, classic cabin, beautifully decorated
Perfect spot to get away from the crowds of the valley, scenic walk along a dream nearby

Thank you for your nice review. We try hard to make you feel at home. Our peaceful cabin is ideally located to take advantage of the easy trip to Yosemite Valley and beyond. Or, explore the hidden gems of Foresta and Crane Creek.
Great location inside the park, easy access to everywhere we wanted to visit. One bedroom house with a nice kitchen and living room. We cooked several meals during our stay. Would recommend.

Thank you for your recommendation. Foresta is a great base for your adventures. Avoid the crowds and rest up in peace and quiet.
The location was great. The cabin was a perfect size for us, and we had good television reception and internet access which we value. The cabin was well stocked with basic supplies. The interior was comfortable but dated.

Thank you for your review. It’s nice to have the modern conveniences on your adventures.
Can’t beat the location. Easy to get to Yosemite Valley and lovely area with meadow, barns, creeks, and little waterfalls just along the street the cabin is located.

Great place to stay! Quiet and comfortable with everything you need. About 20 min to Yosemite Village.
We enjoyed our time at Annie and Rick's cabin! The hosts provided detailed instructions for locating the property and communicated well throughout the process. I appreciated the inclusion of amenities like a washer/dryer combo and a box fan for stuffy summer nights.
Wonderful property for visiting Yosemite. Easy access to anywhere in the park.
