We rented this house for a hiking trip in Yosemite and it was perfect. The house was in a good location and well-maintained. I had my two sons and grandson with me and we had a great time. I would highly recommend this property.

This was our second time at Storybook Chalet. It's a great house, and the location couldn't be better.

The home hd everything we needed to relax after long days enjoying the park.
4.7
Great location and nice comfortable place to stay.
4.7
Great property, as advertised. We had a great stay and are excited to come back some day.
4.7
Staying in the park was great as it enabled us to more quickly get to our hikes while we were in the park. Working with the owners of the home were great and they were very responsive when we had needs. Overall, house was great just could use a little bit of updating and fixing some things that are broke. Hot tub was fabulous! Could see the stars really good from their deck. Thanks!

Our family had a great stay at the Storybook Chalet. I appreciated all of the supplies provided- shampoo, conditioner, dish and laundry detergent, dryer sheets, coffee and even hot cocoa. We all enjoyed playing pool and the hot tub in our down time. It’s a lovely home and the location can’t be beat. We didn’t have to worry about waiting in long lines to get in or making reservations. We were able to do so much in the park each day and come home to a clean comfortable home. Thank you Eric and Jessie :)
4.7
This location was absolutely perfect for our trip to Yosemite! We ended up having 4 less people on our trip (6 rather than 9) and we all fit comfortably. We would have been a little tight with our whole group, but with the loft space and air mattresses it would have been just fine!
The neighborhood is lovely and near a trail the lets you hike up to a fire watch tower- which I loved
Definitely would recommend!
4.7
We loved this cabin in Yosemite West. We were five adults, a toddler and two dogs and we had plenty of space. It was a short drive to the valley floor and Glacier Point, really the perfect location. The cabin is beautiful and the neighborhood was quiet and backed against beautiful trees. We can’t wait to come back.
4.7
The house served our group of 6 well. There were a few minor items that needed attention and the host quickly replied to all messages. The view was less than what we were hoping but there was no specific mention of a spectacular Mountain View in the listing. The view is a partial Mountain View with most of the view being trees and other houses.
The main reason to book this is the location. It is in the park and only 35-40 minutes from the valley. This reeeaaallly benefited us in regard to our daily activities. We didn’t have to have a reservation for the park or wait in the normally long wait to enter the park. We just got going whenever we felt like it and didn’t have to worry about getting into the park. If you are planning 2 or more days in the park, stay in the park!
4.7
We had an AMAZING stay! This place is located 15-30 mins from Tunnel View and Yosemite Village. Very conveniently located within the Park gates so we did Tunnel View and Bridalveil Falls Trailhead, Upper Yosemite Falls to Eagle Peak, Mirror Lake Loop, and Mist Trail to Vernal Falls/Nevada Falls… just amazing! We will come back!
4.7
Really liked the place but downstairs bath needs some attention. Washing towels and getting them in the dryer is a bit much to ask if you are leaving early. Other than that, really enjoyed the property. Avoids going through long lines at park entrance.
4.7
Excellent location
4.7
Fun place to be!
4.7
What a great place. Very close to take in all of Yosemite.
4.7
The kitchen had many supplies. We appreciated the pool table and hot tub. We liked the location.
4.7
This was a great location for us to get to the valley as well as the Mariposa Sequoia Grove.
4.7
Great property, lots of amenities that the host allows you to use. Definitely built for vacation with games, sleds, and creature comforts. Coffee was provided. Plenty warm in the winter. Driveway is steep, but was well cleared when we arrived after a big snow. Plenty of blankets/towels/dishes/cookware.
4.7
Our family of four had more than enough room. The kids loved the hot tub and pool table. Great access to all the sites. Would definitely recommend
4.7
Great location, just a short drive into the valley. Perfect getaway for the family. We cooked together, played pool and games, relaxed in the hot tub/sauna. Had all the needed amenities.
4.7
Perfect family cabin
We all loved it
4.7
The home is beautiful, quite accommodating, and in a great location inside the park! We couldn’t ask for more!
4.7
This is where you want to stay for a cozy cabin near the valley. Views are amazing from the deck.
Make sure to download the check in code before you leave cell service because if you’re at the door you won’t have service and will need to drive to service to check your app.
4.7
The location for most all activities is a 30 minute drive. Being in the park and avoiding the entrance gate is a huge plus. On our trip the entrance was backed up over a mile most of the days.
The house is clean (but not spotless) and has most everything you need. (Could use a pancake griddle) Beds were comfortable. We hiked each day so did not use most of the amenities such as the hot tub or billiards table but can see they would be nice.
Some reviews say to bring all your food as grocery stores are far away but there is a general store at Yosemite Valley that carries a nice selection and the house has plenty of spices.
Overall, I would say the house was perfect for our needs. (Someone who is super picky may notice: Some windows are fogged, grout in bathroom needs cleaned or replaced and basically just some tender loving care that comes from usage and renting.)
4.7
Property was good but in need of some TLC. Master shower door handle is broken and water leaks thru door because seal is broken. Master bedroom mattress not very comfortable. Outdoor stairs are very slippery in the morning. House has great views and the weather was great during our stay. Thank you.
4.7
Great property, beautiful views and hot tub was wonderful addition!
4.7
A buddy and I went to hike Half Dome. We wanted to sleep in beds, lol. Maybe I didn't look at the photos and was just booking by hot tub, price, and availability, but I was presently surprised by the open floor plan and the comfort of the home. The neighborhood is also real nice. Tons of cooking stuff. Good trip! I'd stay right in this same home again.
4.7
What a wonderful stay. Thank you
4.7
We had a great time!!
4.7
We had three couples and one teenager for our stay. All of us had ample room for sleeping and hanging out. The pool table was a big hit! The property was clean and well maintained. Communication in advance with the property owner was nice and easy. The hot tub was having some issues during our stay but the owner was very quick to respond and offer resources for getting it back on track. I've already recommended the property to another friend traveling to the area next year and would gladly stay there again myself!
4.7
We loved the location and the set up was wonderful for our family. Our kids loved the pool table and hot tub. The home was very well equipped with everything we needed and if we come back to Yosemite we will definitely stay here again!
4.7
This was a wonderful place to stay! Spacious and we loved the hot tub. Great location inside the park!
4.7
This house worked out really well for our family to stay during our trip to Yosemite. Right at 30 minute drive to spots in the valley, so really convenient. Our teenagers enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. Kitchen supplied well for us to make breakfast and dinner with groceries picked up in El Portal.
4.7
Staying in Yosemite West has all the benefits of being in a home, but also very close to the Yosemite Valley attractions. Food/Meals for the family requires planning! Going to the Valley for Food is a good option but you must arrive early (before 8) to park where you want (in July). Leaving the Park for food is challenging due to re-entry crowds.
4.7
We had 6 people and could sleep pretty comfortably. It's a great location, about 30min to Yosemite Valley. The place is very functional with a good amount of misc cooking items. The place is getting pretty worn and we had multiple issues with the hot tub (Couldn't change temp and jets stopped working), but overall we had a great time and enjoyed the place.
4.7
The property is a wonderful location and proximity to Yosemite Valley! The house was as described and stocked with basic needs and extras we weren't expecting. We enjoyed the hot tub in the afternoon as well before heading back out! The cabin could use a deep cleaning but was otherwise clean for the everyday used areas! The owners are very quick to respond to all questions and addressed a small issue within a couple of hours for us! We would definitely stay again!
4.7
The location of the house was great; staying in the park was awesome. We had four adults and four kids/tweens. The pool table, hot tub and sauna were great features to come back to after a long day of hiking. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully stocked for everything you might need (spices, utensils/pots/pans/paper towels/dish soap/tp/shampoo/conditioner/soap). There were plenty of towels for everyone. We also used the grill one night.
Previous reviews about the cobwebs, dust and dated furniture were accurate…however we were looking for a comfortable mountain house to retreat to after long days of exploring, not a place to take Instagram worthy photos so not a factor for us. The views at sunrise/sunset off the deck were incredible. The upstairs master bath has no door, so if you are sharing that bathroom with whoever is sleeping on the pullout sofa just be aware that you’ll need to take turns.
Checkout: You’ll have to wash and put away dishes and wash towels/put in dryer before you leave, so you’ll need to make sure you plan for that. The one suggestion I have for improving the checkout process is to state in the listing that you have to go find a place to dump your trash or pay the housekeeper a $75 fee. I would have liked to either known this up front or just have the $75 included in the total cost. Overall the house did the job for our group.
4.7
Perfect location just 25 minutes to the valley. Easy check in and check out. The cabin is well stocked with everything we needed. Eric was quick to respond with any questions. We loved our stay, we’d be back and recommend this property.
4.7
Property was as expected from the description, which is always good. Property owner was very nice and responsive. There were repairs being done to the water system in the development causing water needing to be boiled prior to use. This was completely outside their control but would have been nice to know prior to arrival so we could bring in bottled water.
As with other reviews, the property could use a thorough cleaning. Surfaces and bathrooms were clean but there were cobwebs in the corners of the bedrooms and cereal left by past renters under the living room furniture.

Cabin was really nice
