    Great location for a self catering stay in Yosemite

    It is a large space although it is a bit tired woth old carpets etc and the shower runs out of hot water very quickly but for a few days stay it does the job well

    The location of this cabin is great as it is right in the centre of Yosemite, it is very high up though so much colder than the valley floor. It has everything you need to properly cater for yourself which is needed in this area due to its remoteness.

    A bit noisy heating system but this is ok if you don’t turn it on too much. Than you can not hear it. So this is not a minus of this place.

    Location and the spirt of this house. The administrator is just great. Explains everything you need to have a great stay.

    Overall a decent rustic stay with a few hiccups

    Driveway was slippery when it snowed during our checkin time. Also there is absolutely no light to show the house address, had a hard time finding it. Bathroom doesn't have an exhaust system. Mattresses were not comfortable. Trash had to be driven 7 mins away to be dumped, which is kinda insane.

    View from the place is pretty nice when snow is around. Kitchen is equipped with most essentials.

    Tucked away in the tranquil forest, this charming rental home surpassed all expectations. Surrounded by nature's beauty, we were fortunate enough to witness a majestic bear during our stay, creating unforgettable memories. Its unbeatable location near Glacier, Wawona, and Yosemite Valley made it a breeze to explore the park's breathtaking landmarks. Whether you're seeking serenity or a thrilling wildlife experience, Forest Glen in Yosemite West is the ideal destination for an unforgettable getaway.

    Great place to sleep while visiting Yosemite to hike, but manage your expectations!

    Directions for parking could have been better, like a picture. Knives were dull. Utensils felt cheap. The cleanliness of a lot of the pots and pans was suspect--recommend to clean everything before using, even dining table! Zero cell service, and WiFi was very slow. One of the mattresses could be replaced. Managed by a company. Photos aren't updated, but still fairly accurate.

    Exactly the space we needed and only about 40 minutes of a drive to Yosemite Valley. We went in the summer, and there is no A/C, but there were a lot of fans we could use, and the windows opened up fine. Both bathrooms worked fine. Shower was a bit cold, but there is a nice heat lamp in that bathroom. Very nice views, scenic and quiet location. Late check-in (door code). No need for key.

    Good stay for a long weekend
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveler
    • one bedroom holiday home
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The heating unit in the living room is very noisy when turning on, so it may affect those who sleep in the beds on Level 2. This can be avoided using the electrical heater only (we wish such suggestions were made the first night). It is a little difficult to locate the house during our evening arrival, so better signage would be nice. The parking is quite far away (~50 meters) from the house entrance, and it is through some wooden stairs. So it took some time to unload our luggage from the car. There was a snowstorm two days before our arrival, but the snow in the passage was not cleaned well enough. There was a section (~10 meters) with snow up to our knees, adding to the difficulty of unloading luggage. Yosemite west has some sections that might require tire chain in snow conditions, so get prepared.

    The house is large, and the furniture and appliances are good. We like the fireplace. The house is quite separated from other houses nearby, so it has good privacy. We like seeing the snow accumulated outside the dining room and the living room door.

    A bit on the expensive side.

    Great location. Has all the facilities that you need... ie induction cooker, refrigerator, washing machine etc. TV was great with multiple channels. Wifi was spotty sometimes but good enough.

    Virtually no wifi, TV and oven did not appear to work, (maybe just needed some instructions?), dishwasher was out of order and stove top turned on/off at times. Deck door had no runners so was very tricky to open/close. The bin that we were required to leave all of our garbage was a 5min drive away. The beds definitely need an update. No bath soap for our stay provided. .Vacasa the mgt company are hard to contact due to lack of phone service and poor wifi.

    Location was amazing. Peaceful hillside spot within the park gates.The house was comfortable enough if you are spending your days exploring Yosemite. Heating worked well and clothes washing facilities were good.

    Good cottage, Good Location, Amenities need improvement, Owners need to be more responsive

    1. The lock is very finicky and many tries are needed before it accepts the code. It is a hassle every time to unlock 2. Mattresses are of poor quality and one doesn't get comfortable sleep 3. The wifi is horribly slow and their is no cellular network too so it becomes very difficult to access internet 4. In all the days we stayed, the TV/Dish connection didn't work even once so it becomes pretty boring inside the house

    1. Good location 2. Good size for a small family 3. Well designed cottage

    Steps going down to front door need to be lit better at night. Hot water heater was extremely small barely enough to finish one shower.

    Location to Glacier Point was amazing. Home is inside of the park so you don't have to wait at the gate to get in and out. Plenty of room for 3 people. Working appliances to cook breakfast and keep groceries cold

    We had no wifi, and had to boil the water. In addition, the home needed a thorough cleaning. The management company was difficult to work with, and offered us a very minimal rebate for our inconvenience.

    Located in Yosemite West, we enjoyed being in the park. Snow in May fell on the pine trees all around.
