You can quickly and easily access the many day hiking opportunities off of the Glacier Point Road from this location. Catch a sunset from the top of Sentinel Dome with your picnic and wine or rise early and see the sun rise from the spectacular Taft Point, an easy 1 and a half mile hike in from the Glacier Point Road. This home is a duplex, the upstairs is a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit and the lower unit is occupied by a local couple. The kitchen of this home is fully equipped for cooking your meals and the upstairs sunny deck has a gas grill for barbeques. This quiet location offers a peaceful respite from the rest of the park visitors. There are many old logging roads in this community for mountain bikers and an historic restored fire lookout nearby for a nice evening walk.

The place was good, clean.
There were multiple small issues:
1. Multiple bulbs in the Master bedroom needed replacement. It was replaced after we messesged.
2. The cooler in the guest bedroom was not working well and the person came to help didn’t know how to add water to make it work. We figured out after struggling for few hours. It was a super hot day.
3. Kitchen napkins are not there. Was brought after we asked.
4. After we were done, finding the garbage dumpster that works was very hard. Went searching for one and ended up not finding the one that worked with the code given on the app. The instructions between what was in the house and app was not consistent. We carried the garbage all the way with us as there were long line of cars in curry village. We were told later that we could have left it inside the house.
Overall, we could have had better stay if these issues were handled better.

This home was very comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed and more. We would highly recommend. The Wi-Fi is now Starlink and it worked great! Nice surprise!

We have stayed at a number of locations, both just outside and within Yosemite. This house was an easy 40 minute drive from Yosemite Valley Lodge, Mist Trail or Yosemite Falls. It was spacious, comfortable and had all necessary amenities. For a family, it was easily the best option.

This was the perfect location for us during our visit to Yosemite NP. It had everything we needed. We did notice that the sound carries between the floors (there is another unit below) but other than that we were very pleased.
5.0 / 5.0
Our family really enjoyed our time in this property. It was clean and comfortable. Showers were powerful, and having two full bathrooms was great. I appreciated the AC units in the house. Kitchen was well appointed and we could make all meals we wanted to.
Additionally, I requested a couple of things to make our stay more enjoyable and they were all over it, acting right away to make my stay better. I greatly appreciated the responsiveness. Overall, this was a five star stay and the host was great.
I do have a couple of notes for those who visit after us:
1) The arrival instructions mention a yellow house with blue trim. In reality It's definitely brown as of the time we came.
2) You may not be able to depend on the WiFi, so plan accordingly. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but we had some school assignments to upload and the satellite internet simply didnt work for most of the stay. The satellite usage quota was used up by the time we got there and it really struggled where basic web pages timed out woth slow load times. It did finally work the last morning.
3) We really enjoyed spending time on the deck, but the views of the valley are obscured by trees. Still a wonderful deck and the peaceful wooded atmosphere is really great. But you may want to temper your expectations of the view, as it is limited.

Perfect
This was a perfect week getaway! The place is very nice and a short 30 minute drive from the village and major trail heads.

Convenient, comfortable but a few caveats
This property is ideally located for all activities at Yosemite national park. It is about 20 minutes from the valley in a private subdivision inside the park. The rental itself is smaller and older than many of the other vacation homes in the neighborhood. It is perfectly adequate if you can overlook the rather dire need for updating (replacing stained carpets, broken/missing tile in bath room and wobbly coffee table, etc.) and repairs. The beds were comfortable and showers were hot and soothing after long hikes. I wish I could have used the washing machine instead of having to hand wash clothes in the sink. Generally, we had a nice stay but definitely a few caveats.

Perfect location, ok house
Location of the property is perfect, inside the park! The house is ok but not perfect given the rate. At almost $500 per night, there are several things that could be better. For example all other rental properties in the area had someone help with snow removal but not this one, you are responsible for removing snow from the entrance. Also there are exactly six of each silverware or plates, nothing extra. The stairs to get to the house from the driveway as mentioned on other reviews are rotten and need work.
But as I mentioned great location and the house is as described, I just think the price could be lower for the condition of the house.q

Desperately in need of attention
Outdoor stairs are rotten and dangerous. Freezer leaks on floor. Propane stove but no CO detector. Also smoke detector missing from master bedroom. No coffee maker. Called and property manager brought a replacement. Unfortunately, it was so filthy we refused to use it even after spending 15+ minutes attempting to clean it. Seats on 3 of the 6 kitchen chairs were broken. Blinds and frame on front window are broken. No non-slip mat for master shower -- slipped and fell. No bathmat for master bath. Pathetic selection of dishes and utensils, all mismatched. Half the bowls were either chipped or cracked, total of 4 glasses, only 3 teaspoons. Towel rack broken off wall in guest bath. Black mold? around base of tub in guest bath with evidence of dry rot. Missing/dead light bulbs throughout. Paid a cleaning fee but guests are directed to wipe down interior of refrigerator, wash and return all dishes/utensils to cupboards/drawers, wipe down counters, and sweep floors. Under maintained and over priced.

Quick Yosemite Trip
We came up for a few day visit to Yosemite and had the best time staying at the Sunshine Suite. It was the perfect location!

Felt like home
Our stay at this house was wonderful. As close to Yosemite as you can get without staying in the park. Great layout with one bedroom having its own private bathroom. Kitchen had everything we needed. The deck was a perfect place for breakfast before heading out to the Valley. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Easy stay
Comfy place, nice and clean. Good place to launch exploration of Valley, Glacier Point, Wawona. We happened to be there when they were cutting down trees on the property, very noisy, but peaceful when chainsaws were off. Refrigerator is loud, could be replaced. We didn't cook (other than cereal, sandwiches), but kitchen looked reasonably stocked. Would stay again!

Nice house, great location!
Usually, when you go to Yosemite and rent a house, it takes HOURS to get into the park. But not this house! Yosemite West is the best place to stay because you're only about 30 minutes from the valley and 45 minutes from Glacier Point.
The house was perfect for my stay, and just like the pictures. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The common space was comfortable with 2 couches and even an outdoor area, which was perfect for midday relaxing after a morning hike.
This is mentioned in the listing but there's no cell reception and very limited WiFi, so just make sure you know where you need to go ahead of time. We used the WiFi to look up directions to certain locations. But do your Yosemite research before you travel!
My only complaint about this house was not actually about the house itself but the approval/payment process. Unfortunately, you cannot pay for this house through VRBO/HomeAway, you have to send the payment through Paypal. And that is not clear when actually booking this property. I had to call VRBO/HomeAway a few times to get this settled.

Property was as presented, close to the park, quiet, clean.
Overall this was a great find. Very accessible to Yosemite, very quiet. Clean and usable. Issues were as stated before-really not enough glassware for 4 people for a week. only 4 drinking glasses and a few wine glasses. Otherwise kitchen was adequate. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were nice. Living area was comfortable and well stocked with Yosemite reading material. Issue that needs to be resolved is that we blew the circuit on the entire upstairs running the stove fan and air conditioner at the same time when the refrigerator kicked on. All in all we would recommend this property or others in Yosemite West for visitors to Yosemite.

Great location in park, comfy and clean
We had a great stay at Sunshine Suite. It was the perfect size for our family of five. The sofa bed was super comfy for our teenage daughter, much better then hotel sofa beds. The location was about 20 minute drive from the Yosemite Valley and not far from Glacier point or Wawona. Great location in park. We highly recommend this home!

Stairs
A lot of stairs to carry the luggage up. Kitchen needs new pots/pans and knifes. Otherwise a nice stay.

Delightful stay, the house was clean, well maintained and had a very homey atmosphere!
Lisa pretty much covered everything in her description of the house, things to do in the area and directions. Great video library although we didn't get a chance to watch anything. We like to cook, the only thing I wished for were more utensils such as a vegie peeler and non coated cooking pans. Other then that, so looking forward to staying there again!
Thanks Lisa!

Great location in Yosemite
Overall it was very good. Place fit our needs and was very clean and we had a great time. Great location in the park. A few suggestions:
Oven in stove does NOT work at all and needs repair.
Limited dishes and glasses, I would put in the suggestions of things to bring both paper cups and plates. Since we were from MI and drove in we could have saved buying these items inside at inflated $ and got these at store in Mariposa.
Also should have people buy extra toilet paper - this unit had only 2 full rolls and 2 partial rolls - not sufficient for 5 adults for 5 days.
I specifically asked owner if unit had a washer/dryer. Said yes but there was none there for guest use (every closet was locked. Why say there was one if its not for renters???
You should state there is a hair dryer in unit - would have left mine home if I had known.
Thank you - we loved the park!

Wonderful place inside YNP
My husband and I were looking for a place to stay inside Yosemite National Park last minute due to some weather conditions we didn't want to camp in. We were lucky enough to find this place! It was still a 40 minute drive to the valley, but was easy to drive each day and is as close as it gets for a cabin. We were very happy with the quality of the cabin, and everything was as described. We would definitely stay here again.
