About this house rental
In addition to the gorgeous appeal, this home was designed to make your stay as comfortable as possible including convenient parking and access. The home is a rare single-story property that can accommodate guests of all ages. There are about 10 steps from the parking area, leading down to the entrance. Both restrooms offer double sinks and separate toilet and shower areas. There is satellite base wifi and air conditioning as well. The master suite features a king-size bed, while the middle bedroom has two sets of twin-over-twin bunk beds, as well as a High Definition TV in case the children would like to have their own space to play video games or watch a movie. Satellite WiFi is available for free but is not fast enough for streaming and video calling. The front bedroom has a queen bed decorated with vintage decor, while the living room features a vaulted cottage-style plank ceiling, river rock fireplace, and a 60" 4K TV, complete with Blu-Ray player and satellite cable. The distressed dining table allows comfortable seating for 8 people. The fully stocked kitchen boasts a stylish farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and beadboard cabinets. Additionally, there is a dining table on the rear deck if you prefer to dine al fresco or simply wish to enjoy the mountain air and forest view. There is a gas BBQ if you would like to grill. The covered front porch features two very comfortable rocking chairs, perfect for sipping your morning coffee or tea.
This property is located INSIDE the gates of Yosemite National Park and is centrally located to many of the popular destinations including Yosemite Valley (20 minutes), Badger Pass Ski Area (15 minutes), and Wawona (20 minutes).

We had a fabulous trip to Yosemite and this home was perfection. It was extremely clean which was a wonderful contrast to the dusty trails we saw all day! We would have loved to stay longer if our schedule would have allowed. 11/10!

We spent three days at the property and it was perfect for our trip. Close to the valley floor and easy to get back to. The house was wonderful and perfect for our family and friends.

Cute & Cozy
We loved our stay here! It’s so homey and comfortable! We had a party of 6 adults and there was plenty of room. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Don’t forget your own shampoo and conditioner. I would also bring some extra kitchen towels, just in case. Other than that all the amenities were there. The WiFi didn’t work for us and there was very spotty cell service, so be prepared. Made for a nice tech free weekend! Will be back for sure!

Very comfortable cottage
Property is in great condition and was perfect for our family. Everything worked great and the house was spotless. My advice is to bring the food you are going to need because there are not grocery or restaurant options nearby.

Lovely home conveniently located to Yosemite’s major attractions
We were overall very pleased with this home and had a very good experience dealing with the management group. The house is Very clean and very nicely decorated. The kitchen is very well stocked to accommodate most any family meal. A comfortable retreat that serves as a great home base after long days exploring Yosemite’s sites and attractions. The neighborhood is a great location for accessing the Valley and Southern ends of the park. The other reviews regarding the WiFi reliability and speed are accurate. However, Only a minor inconvenience because cell service isn’t available. Also noted that no AC meant the house was fairly hot during the day (July) and took a while to cool down in the evening, but certainly not unbearable. A couple more fans In the house would have helped.

This property is just as nice as depicted in the photos. A great balance between stylish, casual and comfortable. Great location inside the boundaries of the park. The place was very clean and everything inside is in excellent condition. The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils and other stuff you could want - including a griddle for pancakes. And as mentioned in the title, the WiFi worked fine for us even though we didn’t expect that based on the comments from others. We would not change a thing.

The house is really wonderful and very clean. About 30 min. drive to the Park. The only thing that we missed was the A/C. It was very hot in july.

Excellent stay, with one exception
Super clean, well layed out, great location.
Description of amenities were spot on with the exception of the Wi-Fi. Very minimal to no service in the house. Limited to 500 MB per day. Very frustrating when trying to comfirm travel plans and locations of daily activities.
Also, beware that the air condition did not exist. The house was very hot upon arrival.

Family getaway
We loved the house. Very clean and cute. We would have loved some board games and recycling, otherwise it had everything we needed. Oh yea....the WiFi did not work so we didn’t know we would wake up to snow.....especially since cellular service didn’t work as well.

We just got home from our long weekend and were very happy with our time in this home. We'd rented a place up the block a couple of years ago and it was NOT great. This place was exactly what we'd hoped for. Thanks!

Great rental
Very nice home. Good location. Glad we opted for Yosemite West over staying in the valley.

Beautiful house!
Perfect for families. The only drawback is that it’s still a 30 minute drive into the park but better than any other options we saw for families!

Absolutely beautiful!
The home was beautiful, spacious and very clean. Yosemite destinations were close by. The area is very quiet. I would love to stay here again. To future renters who may arrive late at night, make sure to bring the property map as the roads are confusing when you are tired and it is dark outside.

Beautiful Mountain retreat
We stayed at the Craftsman Cottage for a week and loved the house. The house is very clean, bright and well decorated with a lot of attention to detail. We appreciated that the entire house had "hardwood" floors, so there were no dirty carpets (as we've found in other VRBO rentals). The house is in a quiet, residential neighborhood. We enjoyed the fireplace with the gas starter and the grill on the deck. We appreciated that the house was stocked with a few basic supplies that were enough to last our entire stay: coffee, hot chocolate, TP, Kleenex, soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, kitchen bags. One caveat: the drive to the nearest store, gas station, restaurant, Yosemite valley and the nearest town is down a winding (but very scenic) mountain road, so those not familiar with mountain driving will want to be home by dark. The only improvement we would make to the house is covering the exterior windows in the showers with privacy film and putting draperies on the living room windows for privacy. Otherwise, we found the house to be perfect, and the rental company was very helpful, responsive, and easy to deal with.

Clean and beautiful but no air conditioner
Very beautiful house/kitchen with everything you need for cooking. However there is no air conditioner. It is very hot from noon to dawn. Two of us have to sleep in the living room because the room is very hot. The wifi is not working either which is fine with us since we have tried to spend more time enjoying the beauty of the nature.
FYI for those people who rely on wifi a lot: we did contact the property manager regarding the wifi and they respond quickly. They came to check the connection quickly for which we appreciate so much but the wifi is still not working the whole stay. They offer the free wifi at their office site but the connection/signal is very weak and unstable.

Beautiful Home In A Quiet Setting
This is a lovely home with all amenities you need for a relaxed stay. The home is one story; however, the entry does have about 12 steps to access the house that could be challenging for anyone with a disability. The rooms were large and the kitchen is well appointed and light and bright. It is close to the attractions in Yosemite Valley (about 15-20 mins). We were there with 5 adults and 2 children under 12. The rooms were ideal for the size of our party and the two bathrooms were very appreciated. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Gorgeous home. Place was clean and just as the pictures show! Having no access to wifi was the only problem.

Beautiful home, stunning views
We absolutely loved our stay at the "Craftsman Cottage" -- while there, you are surrounded by beauty inside and out! The home is light and airy throughout, with terrific natural light as well as a nice selection of ambient and task lighting (I very much dislike spotlights that shine straight down... and many LED/flourecent lights make me crazy!) The great room is beautifully arranged and can accommodate a lot of people -- the living room is cozy with a stone faced fireplace that heats nicely and comfy sofas/chairs/ottoman that work for reading, watching TV or socializing. The kitchen is well appointed with a strong layout and a great-sized island for socializing while preparing meals. The dining room seats 10 comfortably and has a deck with a bbq and backyard views. The bedrooms and bathrooms are also light and airy -- the master has sweeping views of the backyard and a door to the deck. One kid room (with two separate bunk beds) is sweetened with a flat screen TV... sort of nice for downtime between snow ball fights, ski days and other jaunts to the valley floor. The 3rd bedroom (with a queen) faces the snowy slope in the front, and would work for a couple or a couple kids. All are spacious, with lovely windows and a cozy feel. Bathrooms are white one white and spotless. Oh, and the front porch was perfect -- alas, it was cold and snowy while we were there, so we didn't use it much.
That said, there are only two things that I would NOTE: 1) There is NO WIFI and Mobile Phone coverage was nonexistent as well. If you need to be reached or need to do a little work check in, this is a big deal. The property managers said they have a nearby business office, but that really doesn't help much. It's a big field trip if all you need to do is "check in" with work or family. This seems like a mistake not to have this... being connected is important, but it would also be nice to be able to play music (Pandora app is on the TV, but not usable given no wifi) 2) A very small thing....there are no dressers. I like to unpack when I vacation, but there were no dressers/drawers to unpack into, so I hung all i could and then had to rifle through the suitcase for the rest. Would be nice to have a small chest of drawers in each bedroom or bedroom closet.
Other than that, a PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL home. Loved our stay!

Great stay
The home is very nice and very well taken care of. At the time of this review, I believe we had to be one of the first people to stay there because everything seemed so new and unused. Yosemite West is quiet and very close to the valley, so location is great. The house has pretty much everything you need with the exception of groceries. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful new house
This house was perfect! Everything was new, clean and in great working order. The layout was open and all rooms quite large. It was a good location to visit Yosemite park - only 30 mins from the valley. Only change we would want was wifi connection. No cell or wifi coverage at the house. We would absolutely recommend this place!
