About this house rental

Located 11 miles from the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite National Park, Lilliskog is nestled on a serene mountain top surrounded by the Stanislaus National Forest, Lillaskog Lodge is perfect for family reunions, larger parties and special events such as retreats, weddings, etc. It is a wonderful place to start new family traditions!

If you are looking to have your wedding here, please reach out to us for more details!

Whether you are exploring Yosemite or Stanislaus National Forest, entertaining family or hosting a large group, Lillaskog has something for everyone.

The 5000 square foot Lodge is styled with a Swedish flair borrowing from the original family's Swedish ancestry. The name Lillaskog (pronounced Lill-a-skoog) is Swedish for “Little Forest”.

After your day exploring Yosemite, BBQ on the patio or cook your family’s favorite dishes in our large, fully equipped kitchen. Relax in the spacious great room, or borrow a book from the loft library and curl up by the stone fireplace.

Lillaskog has free Wi-Fi and flat screen, smart TV’s in the Great Room and all of the bedrooms.

The main floor of the Lodge is totally wheelchair accessible and consists of a large, fully equipped Kitchen and the Great Room with floor to ceiling windows and a stone fireplace. A piano is available in the Dining area adjacent to the Great Room, for those who are musically inclined. This floor has two bedrooms and three bathrooms one of which is fully wheelchair accessible. Surrounding the Lodge’s main level is a wheelchair accessible wraparound balcony so you can enjoy a sunrise over Yosemite and the sunsets over the Stanislaus National forest.

Our laundry facility is also located on the main floor.

The upper loft area features the library and a master bedroom suite with a private balcony and bath.

The lower level includes a bonus room which can be set up with 6 twin beds or as a conference/meeting room. The lower level also has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

All of our bedrooms are equipped with soft, quality bed linens, irons (in the linen closets) and flat screen TV’s, with Roku’s and some streaming services.

Our bathrooms are stocked with big, soft, fluffy towels, hair dryers and complimentary soap, shampoo and conditioner. The Half Dome bathroom on the main floor is ADA wheelchair accessible with a removable elevated toilet seat and shower chair.

The grounds surrounding the Lodge have two lawn areas. The lower, larger lawn area features the Gazebo with an incredible view as the backdrop. This area is often used for weddings.

The upper lawn area is a favorite for watching the beautiful sunsets. It is also adjacent to our large cobblestone area which can be set up with tables for outdoor dining for our large groups to enjoy. A wonderful spot for wedding receptions with beautiful views!

Swim or fish in the nearby Rainbow Pool, go whitewater rafting down the Tuolumne River. Hike the trails of Yosemite and take your own photographs of the natural treasures that you can only experience in Yosemite. Visit Bodie State Park which is a real old west ghost town or pan for gold in Historic Jamestown.

I have mixed emotions about this property. It is a nice large house that needs some love. Definitely not a 10 out of 10 that some reviewers gave it. Pros: We had six adults and six children and had plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to cook for a group. The sunsets, sunrises and star gazing were amazing and we loved our evenings outdoors. Cons: Air conditioning is by room air conditioners. None in the basement bedrooms (4). Very warm our first night there. Mice and mice droppings, but we are in the forest so.. Two smoke alarms started beeping in the night two out of four nights staying. I think that could have been prevented by maintenance. Property manager responded quickly and replaced batteries both times. Most of the bedroom furniture drawers don't open. Two of the bathrooms have showers in claw foot tubs that are very treacherous. Low water pressure in upstairs bathroom. High water pressure in basement bathrooms.

The views are beautiful and the proximity to Yosemite is great. VRBO indicates the property has a hot tub but there is no hot tub on the property so that was disappointing. That needs to be removed from the listing. There was a mouse in the house but that is probably to be expected based on the location of the property. We enjoyed our stay.

The cabin was so gorgeous, as well as the view! My husband and I stayed to host our wedding and everyone kept talking about how incredible the cabin was! Liza, of course, was great as well, she responds to texts and calls super efficiently and made sure the cabin was ready for us!

We had a family reunion and there was plenty of room for multiple families to have their own space. I would caution anyone traveling with a small car to be very cautious on the 1/2 mile trek from 120 to the property as it is a pretty washed out dirt road.

A group of 12-15 childhood friends get together every few years and this year we chose to be near Yosemite NP. We could not have picked a better location or space for our get together. The accommodations were more than enough to keep us all under one roof. And the views were fantastic too! I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone who asks.
