About this property

Stay inside the gates of Yosemite National Park without the hassles associated with the accommodations offered in Yosemite Valley. You will not have to battle traffic or fight for parking in Yosemite West, nor will you be choking on campfire smoke. Yosemite West is extremely peaceful and quiet even during the big holiday weekends. You can save lots of money by preparing your own meals in the spacious and fully equipped kitchen while enjoying the sunset on the edge of the wilderness. Note this is a duplex and the owner/groundskeeper lives in the separated (100% firewall) unit below and to the right.

Family break

Great accommodation well situated in Yosemite West - well-placed for the village and Wawona. Bit disappointed to see that the neighbouring property undergoing extensive work so looks a bit like a building site, but were not inconvenienced by any noise from this. Well stocked kitchen for cooking at home, comfortable accommodation. Bathrooms and kitchen were clean, but surfaces generally a little dusty in bedrooms and lounge- no other criticisms - would stay here again if lucky enough to visit Yosemite.

Location! Location! Location!

Due to a family emergency we were going to have to cancel our two weeks that we booked with Bill and lose our payment. However, we reached out to Bill and asked if he would be open to us rebooking for two weeks at a later date and he was very agreeable. This was very generous of him.This location was perfect for all our hiking and snowshoeing expeditions. Accommodations were comfortable and we would recommend others to stay here.

A GREAT STAY!

This place was absolutely perfect for our stay! It is a beautiful location and Bill has thought of everything to make your stay a special one. The kitchen is very well stocked. There is plenty of room for families to stretch out. The beds are very comfortable. Great communication! I’m very picky when it comes to the properties I stay in, and this place met ALL my family’s needs. I can’t wait to return!

Weekend getaway

My family and I had a blast! This place was spacious and clean and the perfect location being a short drive down to the valley. My girls (12, 12, and 5 years old) enjoyed the area around the cabin exploring and building snowmen. The owner was super friendly and communicative. Highly recommend! I hope to come back again!

Very nice place inside the park. Owner thought of about every thing we may need, including flour for our sausage gravy, motion lights for going to restroom at night ,Shampoo/conditioner/bodywash. Comfortable livingroom furniture . Couch was used to sleep on by my nephew, no complaints. Yosemite is great, if prone to car sickness need to ride up front. Enjoy!windeDo take note

Amazing Yosemite

Bill was quick to answer questions prior to stay and during the stay. The power company was doing a rolling power outage and Bill came over to check on us and let us know about supplies in the condo we might need due to the outage. It only lasted a few hours though. The condo was laid out well for a family of 5 and the main area seemed larger than the pictures appeared in the listing. Beds slept well and the condo was clean. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking items. It was the last week of July, so without air conditioning it was warm in the condo, but we were not there much, too many things to explore. Would recommend this condo and would stay here again.

Great location and friendly owner.

This is a great location for seeing Yosemite NP. It's inside the gates, so no waiting in line at the entrances. The house had plenty of room and was reasonably clean. The master bed was a bit funky and made the occupants roll toward the center, but

Lovely location

My family and I stayed one night before heading out for a backpacking trip. Pros: beautiful property and amazing locations. Owner communicated everything we needed to know about entering the park to access the property. Easy check in. So many movies, it was great. Cons: the couch and lazy boy seemed pretty dirty but were very comfortable. Smelled a little mildewy inside but not too bad. No coffee to start the day (I’m used to properties having at least one day of coffee but this is obviously not a requirement). There were no throw or extra blankets that I could find. Overall a nice place.

No air conditioning.

There is no air conditioning in this home. We visited in July and it was terribly hot and the house didn’t cool off until well after midnight with the windows open. Very uncomfortable if you get hot weather. Also, the house has a bad ant infestation in the kitchen and master bath. The online description failed to mention there is an extra charge per person. We initially booked for three people and then our adult son decided to join us and we were hit with an extra fee when we arrived. Overall a very mediocre experience and I wouldn’t stay there again.

Quiet, Restful

Location (Yosemite West) was perfect for getting to the trails and activities we chose. Bill (owner) was gracious with his time and was so helpful with information to 1st timers to Yosemite. No issues regarding no A/C. We were able to regulate the temperature by opening the windows and letting the wonderful breeze flow through the house.

Great location

This property worked well for us. Good location and access to Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point and Mariposa. Tioga road was still closed when we visited. Two bedrooms in the basement were nice for cooler sleeping. Two nice bathrooms, one on each level were well lit and clean. There were only two of us but several could stay at this house comfortably.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Russell

After growing up in Wisconsin I finally moved in 1980 to Yosemite to climb the rocks and mountains. In the winter I enjoy skiing the winter snows and when the snow melts into river water I use the same water for kayaking, rafting and fly fishing. I have worked as a rock climbing guide and instructor at the Yosemite Mountaineering School since 1993 and I'm very familiar with all the scenic and recreational opportunities available in and around Yosemite 12 months a year.

Why they chose this property

Yosemite Park Way is at the end of the road and in a less built-up part of Yosemite West. This insures less noise and traffic.
