About this property

Premier Yosemite/Foresta home with views of Half Dome and El Cap from all rooms!

Rocky Point Guest House is a family owned and operated home located inside Yosemite National Park in the small community of Foresta. We're located inside the park boundary and entrance gates (meaning that you won't have to wait in line to enter the park each day) 7 miles from the Valley Floor. Our home boasts stunning views of Clouds Rest, Half Dome, and El Capitan from nearly every room in the house. While we have rented our property via another site for nearly 20 years with many returning guests, we are new to VRBO.

Heavenly!

Beautiful and fully equipped home with stunning views and property. Extremely peaceful and private, with only a 25 minute gorgeous drive to Yosemite Village. Lynda was a gracious host who sincerely cared about our experience. We loved our stay and highly recommend this property.

Great Location, Delightful Views

Everything was easy! Communication w/ owner was great, property was clean & in excellent condition. Rocky Point sits by itself … who knew(!) on a rocky point - a good distance from nearest neighbors, whom you can’t see or hear. The only (welcome) disturbances were the ravin’ Raven who (repeatedly) stopped by begging for food (breakfast, lunch & dinner), & the bobcat hunting gophers & field mice. Just the kind of folks you want to share Foresta/Yosemite with!

Amazing place

This property is amazing: The views, the wildlife (we saw deer, heard coyotes very nearby), and the home itself. The home is very clean, in perfect condition, and comfortable - and it’s IN Yosemite National Park, a short drive from Yosemite Valley and other parts of the park. You won’t regret staying here.

Perfect stay

Amazing place just a 20-30min drive from the village. Property was so good we actually spent more time there than planned soaking up the views from the deck. Sunrise seeing the rays appear over Half dome were unforgettable.

Wonderful house for visiting Yosemite

We loved the house! It felt like a bit of a drive from town at first, but it turned out to be pretty easy to go back and forth to Yosemite Village and all the activities, and the road to the house had lovely views. The view from the house was fantastic! We appreciated all the little decorative touches, and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.

Best place in Yosemite

Perfect accommodations with ideal location to explore locally and central to all that the Yosemite Valley, Wawona and Glacier Point have to offer. Comfortable home away from home with all the amenities needed for our 8 night stay. Lynda was a very gracious and responsive owner; would do it all over again!

About the host

Hosted by Lynda

Host profile image
I have been lucky to live in Yosemite for 50+ years, working and raising my children here. Over the past 20 years, I have loved getting to share our family's Rocky Point Guest House in this unique location with guests from around the world.

Why they chose this property

Foresta is a magical place - very close to the valley floor of Yosemite and yet far enough from the crowds to be calm, quiet, and serene. Our property has amazing views of El Cap and Half Dome.
