King Suite for Active Couples Inside Yosemite Gate, Your Basecamp for Adventure!
Planning an unforgettable Yosemite adventure? Lucky you! With its iconic trails, rugged peaks, and endless opportunities for exploration, few places in the world offer such an incredible outdoor experience.
Of course, you’ll want accommodations to match your adventurous spirit—comfortable, convenient, and inside the park gates. Serenity Suite is exactly that: a high-quality, well-equipped King Suite designed for an active couple who wants to make the most of their time in Yosemite. At 5,500 feet elevation, Serenity Suite provides an escape from the summer heat on the Valley floor and is just minutes from Badger Pass Ski Area in winter. Whether you’re here for hiking, climbing, birdwatching, or photography, you found the perfect home base for your visit.
Located inside the park gates, in the Yosemite West neighborhood, you’re only 20-30 minutes from top attractions like Glacier Point, Yosemite Valley, and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. Unlike stays outside the park, you won’t waste time in long lines or have to start your day at dawn just to beat the crowds. Here, your adventure runs on your schedule.
A Best-In-Class Stay for Couples Who Explore Serenity Suite is of modern construction, built with careful attention to detail and high-end finishes. Guests always rave about the quality of the home, from the exceptionally comfortable King bed to the large covered deck surrounded by towering trees. You’ll find: ✔ Fully equipped kitchen with quality appliances for easy meal prep ✔ Marble & granite countertops for a polished, high-end feel ✔ Soothing jetted tub—perfect after a long day on the trails ✔ Central air conditioning (a rare luxury in this area!) Everything is provided—linens, towels, cookware, and dishes—so all you need to bring is your gear, your sense of adventure, and your favorite food and drinks.
As you can see in our pictures, Serenity Suite features an open floor plan with extra-high, lofted ceilings that make the space feel even larger. The design features plentiful natural light and peaceful views of the surrounding forest. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook meals before or after your adventures. Outside, a spacious covered deck with a barbecue offers a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a well-earned dinner after a full day in the park. It’s nearly impossible to find this kind of private retreat, especially oriented to two people, elsewhere in Yosemite and still stay central to everything.
Know Before You Book ✔ Lower-Level of a Thoughtfully Designed Duplex – Serenity Suite is located below our other home, Royal Retreat (designed specifically for two couples). Your space is fully separate and private, including your entrance, deck, and parking area. ✔ Access via 18 Stairs – The entrance to Serenity Suite is down an 18-step stairway, which is extra-wide for easy luggage transport. ✔ Normal Footstep Sounds from Above – As this is a lower unit, you may hear occasional footfall from the home above. We’ve built with soundproofing, and past guests have been satisfied, but please expect some normal sounds of occupancy. ✔ Who This Home is Best Suited For – Serenity Suite is designed for active couples who want an adventure-first experience. If your goal is to stay inside all day or have an entertainment-heavy trip, this may not be the best fit. ✔ Maximum Occupancy – Normally 2 people. Infants under 6 months may be added at no charge. Seasonally, we may allow 3 guests (any age), with an additional charge for the third guest, except for infants under 6 months. ✔ We welcome guests from all walks of life and believe in warm hospitality and creating a space where all guests feel valued and respected. We appreciate guests who are considerate and respectful of our home and community.
Technology & Connectivity ✔ Internet & Wi-Fi – We provide top of the line satellite internet, but due to our remote, forested location, performance varies. Live video calls (Zoom, FaceTime, etc.) may not be reliable. ✔ No Cell Service – Like many areas within Yosemite, our home does not have cellular signal. However, we provide a landline phone with long-distance calling and Wi-Fi calling is available. ✔ TV/Entertainment – No cable TV. We offer a DVD library, including Yosemite-related films. You can also stream entertainment using your own accounts (subject to internet conditions), but let’s be honest—you’re here for the trails, not the screen!
Book Your Stay Inside Yosemite! Serenity Suite is a rare find inside the park gates, offering couples the perfect mix of quality, comfort, and adventure-focused convenience.

Very nice property, very well equipped, everything works, except for the washing machine that they didn’t get to fix in time for our visit. Communication is very good by the hosts.
From the thoughtful welcome basket to the printed copies of local trails this cozy cabin casita had all the charm and coziness we were looking for on our first visit to Yosemite. The place was clean and modern surrounded by pines.
Everything was perfect for our three night get away to Yosemite: clean, comfortable, roomy enough for the two of us. It was a good central location with access to different locations within the park. Holly checked in many times to be sure that we had no questions or concerns.
Clean, well equipped and convenient to the park! Thoughtful organization and labels. The welcome basket was a nice touch. Lovely deck to grill on and a comfy bed!
We celebrated our 46th anniversary here— comfortable, clean, charmingly decorated and well-appointed in a great location. Easy communication with hosts and we hope to return here again, maybe next anniversary!

Roomy, quiet and cozy place! I've stayed at many places near national parks throughout the country and this is one of the nicest ones. Owners are great, easy check-in and check-out.
Holly and Jeff were proactive in providing clear instructions and helpful information. King Suite was the perfect location - we highly recommend staying inside the park. The apartment was immaculate, the bed was very comfortable, the living room setup was very cozy for relaxing, the shower pressure was great, and the laundry room was a wonderful addition. Don't hesitate to book this gem!
Kind of missed watching the news in the evening.Besides that everything was great!

We provided more than typical guest support, including extensive trip planning assistance with multiple follow-ups, and onsite help during the stay. Gary benefitted greatly from our personal one-on-one trip guidance by experienced locals at his request. We accurately advertise having a TV with DVD library and no broadcast channels. News is available by streaming.
Serenity Suite was wonderful. Communication was great. Location was great. Place was clean. Kitchen is well stocked. We had everything we needed to make three different dinners. I would recommend and stay there again.

West Yosemite was a prime location for getting around, and in a quiet peaceful neighborhood.
The place itself is fantastic; clean, organized, and well thought out. We loved hanging out in the patio while enjoying a grilled meal.
Host is very communicative and helpful if you’re in need of anything. Highly recommend.
Home was absolutely beautiful - clean, comfortable, and so thoughtfully appointed. The hosts truly thought of everything to make our stay easy and enjoyable. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the location is stunning. So close to Yosemite with gorgeous scenery all around! We especially appreciated how the hosts went above and beyond to communicate about a power outage that was entirely out of their control. They made sure we were taken care of during our entire visit. You can really tell they love both their home and Yosemite, and that care shows in every detail.Would definitely love to stay here again!
Holly’s place is outstanding, it’s so cozy, comfortable, peaceful and it has all amenities one could need in Yosemite. She is also great to communicate and give us amazing tips about where to shop, hikes etc in Yosemite. We will be back for sure! Thanks!!!
The serenity suite was perfect for our needs! Beautiful, well kept with really thoughtful touches, super clean, cozy, and conveniently located a short drive a way into the valley for hiking!
We really enjoyed our 4 nights at the King Suite! The location is great and only about 20 minutes from the Tunnel View overlook, where I went each morning for sunrise. The place was very clean and well-stocked, and there are very specific instructions for everything. We were impressed with how wide and easily navigable the steps were. The jacuzzi tub was great after a day of hiking. We would definitely stay again!

Our stay was wonderful! The entire place was clean, information was clear and the property had all the things needed for a great stay! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools, salt/pepper, oil, and all the gadgets needed to make cooking meals after a day of hiking enjoyable. The towels and linens were very nice. We greatly enjoyed exploring Yosemite and coming back to this very clean, relaxing place was nice. We would definitely recommend.

Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood, Yosemite West is special. It sits high above the elevation of Yosemite Valley and provides a quiet and peaceful escape. When its hot below, or jam packed with tourists, we feel great relief when we arrive in Yosemite West. Birds are chirping and we regularly see wildlife in our neighborhood, including deer, coyote and bears. Its peaceful, yet inside the park gates and close to all the best spots to visit.
