Loved staying at this place. Went snowshoeing for the day then rest and chill! Everything was wonderful and perfect. Clean, comfortable, and easy. Tom was soooo helpful and we will definitely be back!!! A+ in our book!

Well appointed and comfortable. Easy in and out with no stairs. Fireplace gave great ambiance and no firewood required. Best part you are within the Yosemite gates so no waiting in line to get in.

Our Christmas getaway in Yosemite was magnificent. The fireplace, the silence and my nap in the most comfortable giant bean bag chair made it a happy trip. Thanks muchly.

Great property inside the park. Very comfortable after a full day of activities. Tom and Theresa are awesome owners!

The owners have tremendous attention to detail and have forgotten nothing in their attempt to make their apartment comfortable and well equipped. After long days at Yosemite we felt like we were coming home. The half-hour drive from Yosemite Valley is on a long, curvy, mountain road, but the house is much closer than most other rentals. This a great place for a couple to stay while exploring Yosemite National Park!

Very clean and cozy place with all the necessary amenities for a relaxing weekend hiking around Yosemite National Park. Would recommend for any couple for your weekend at the park!

We thoroughly enjoyed, and were fully satisfied with, our stay at the Alpine Escape. Tom was a great resource and helped us tweak our hiking/sight-seeing plans; the beds were comfortable and the area was very quiet; all of the amenities were high quality and in great condition; the house was in close proximity to Glacier Point, Mariposa Grove and the Valley... (Renters should be aware that Tom and Theresa live above. You can hear a minimal amount of sound -- ex. light footsteps -- but this was never a bother and greatly outweighed by the friendly chats with Tom and Theresa).

My family and I feel so lucky to have picked this listing! It looks exactly like the pictures and has literally everything you could need. We cooked the entire time we were there and the kitchen had everything! They have truly thought out anything guests might need and ensure you have the most comfortable stay. We hope to one day come back!

Excellent stay

The stay at Alpine Escape was wonderful! First time using VRBO and was so lucky to be at Thomas’ place. It was very clean and the bed arrangements was great for a family of four. Love the fireplace during chilly nights. Thomas was super friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable about Yosemite. Would definitely stay there again in the future if we visit Yosemite.

Our needs were pretty basic and this property had everything we were looking for: 2 separate sleeping areas (toddler in tow), kitchen, and close proximity to the valley. We really appreciated how all of the furnishings and fixtures are well kept and up to date on style while being very comfortable and cozy. There is a large kitchen for cooking and plenty of countertop space to lay out food/snacks and random baby stuff. Good sized bedrooms and mattresses were all comfortable. We were here after a snow storm and the 2 heating options were wonderful - central heating and gas fireplace. Tom and Theresa are great hosts - friendly, welcoming, and very thorough in their correspondences (highly appreciated). Would highly recommend this property to others especially to young families!

Alpine Escape was very comfortable and well equipped. It was a great location for resting up between hiking trips. The kitchen and outside grill were equipped with everything we needed to prepare our own meals, and the beds were quite comfortable and appreciated after a full day of hiking. We also appreciated Tom's knowledge of the park and his various recommendations. The on-line recommendations were also very thorough and helped us prepare for a successful visit. We especially appreciated the recommendation to visit Raley's grocery store on our way from San Franciso to the park.

We booked our stay to visit our daughter who was working in Yosemite for the summer, but we were also excited to see the park and do some hiking. Tom and Theresa were excellent at communication from the day that we booked. We also had to contend with back to back wildfires at the time of our trip and they were very helpful with providing us with air quality updates and flexibility with our reservation due to the unhealthy levels of smoke. Most importantly, they welcomed our daughter as a guest due to the smoke in the valley. Tom and Theresa were always available and always very friendly and informative when we saw them, which made it feel like we were long time friends. Thank you to them for welcoming us, providing frequent and helpful information and for the flexibility due to the wildfires. We did not adjust our trip and we were able to enjoy the park for the entire week and use their recommendations for some spectacular hikes.

This is an AWESOME VRBO. Perfect for a family of 4. Exquisitely cleaned. Well appointed with new and high quality appliances. Tom and Teresa live above the rental portion, so they are present to help with anything you need. Although they are so well organized, there aren’t any questions to be had! Truly excellent hosts! The 30 minute drive into the valley is scenic to say the least, passing right through the Tunnel View. And so nice to stay inside the park! Highly highly recommend!

From making first reservations to departure, Tom & Theresa provided ongoing communication, updates, info from detailed directions to grocery stores & restaurants. The home is spotless clean with a well-stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, all living spaces comfortable and well-appointed. Tom is a wealth of information helping us plan our hiking adventures for the time we stayed in Yosemite Valley. We have NEVER stayed in a VRBO home or host like this! We are impressed and grateful to Tom & Theresa for sharing their home and adding to our "trip of a lifetime"!

Perfect for easy access to the park, equipped with everything you need for exploring and great advice from Tom

The location is awesome and has everything we needed for a great trip to Yosemite. Tom and Theresa are very friendly and have a lot of great information about the park. Made our trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

My wife and I were very pleased with this home. Very clean home and there were lots of amenities provided from kitchen essentials, washer/dryer on site and the bed was comfortable. Tom and Theresa were excellent hosts and Tom was full of knowledge when providing insight on hikes and trails and general park info. On our return trip to Yosemite, we will be booking with Tom and Theresa again. Thanks to you both for making our first trip to Yosemite memorable.

Tom and Theresa maintain a very nice property inside the park and they are very accomodating. Can't wait for our next stay.

Excellent stay! It’s inside the park, very close to glacier point road, short drive to the valley. The gas station in Wawona is a very short drive from the house. The property is pristine. All the provisions needed for a couple or a small family is there. Tom is very friendly and informative. Thank you Tom, for the excellent wine. It was very much needed after a long trip and drive. I have already recommended this property to all my friends. I’m planning to come back to Yosemite in the future and will definitely stay here.

This was the perfect property for our family's Yosemite adventure. Great location, abundantly appointed home. Furniture and bedding in excellent condition and very comfortable. Exceptionally clean and lacking absolutely nothing. Tom was incredibly helpful both before our arrival and during our stay. Beyond expectations, and highly recommend!

I could not ask for anything more. This was absolutly perfect!

My family of four loved staying here as a jumping off point to exploring Yosemite this summer. The property was just as it appears online - clean, spacious, well-maintained, etc. Tom and Theresa went the extra mile - such as providing us with a screen for added privacy for our two children sharing the living room alcove beds and offering sage advice for making the most of our stay with two little ones. Overall, we loved our stay and hope to return again!

We felt so lucky to have stayed at Alpine Escape for our Yosemite trip. The location is terrific, the house is super clean and cozy and our hosts (Tom and Theresa) were exceptionally responsive and personal. Tom took the time to answer all our questions and more provided us with lots of valuable tips. Staying in the park is a real advantage to escape the big lines at the entrance every morning, especially as we were there on memorial weekend. For us, it could not have been any better!

Tom was a treasure trove of information about hikes and natural history as well as a great host. Our flat was comfortable and immaculate. He takes wonderful care of his rental and guests alike.

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay here - the location was great for getting to the valley and to the west/south of the park, and Tom and Theresa made a wonderful, cozy home away from home for us. Communication was clear and detailed, and as a bonus, because they are so familiar with the area, we got some great recommendations for places to take our kids that were not in the normal guidebooks. Hopefully we can come back and see Yosemite in another season!

The place was very comfortable and so close to the valley! We loved staying here. Everything was better than we could have expected and Tom was extremely accommodating.

Tom & Theresa provided an excellent experience for my wife and I during our quick trip to Yosemite. The place is spotless, cozy and welcoming. Tom provided us with some good tips on places to check out (much appreciated).

Very clean and well equipped with very helpful property hosts that were very knowledgeable about "things to do" in the park. We would revisit this property in the future.

This is a great place for a family while visiting Yosemite. The kitchen is well equipped and clean, there is a twin bed with trundle bed by the corner of living room, eating area living room, equipped with in-house washer dryer, and a nice outdoor BBQ and a cover space to sit outside. The bathroom is clean and upgraded and there are nice touches throughout the house. The owner was easy to communicate with and very quick to respond to any/all questions we had. This is a wonderful house while we are Yosemite and I highly recommend it.

excellent stay

This rental has everything. It is centrally located, amazingly clean, and offers a ton of amenities. The owners are absolutely the BEST. They offered help (Tom actually fixed my leaking radiator hose) and all sorts of great advice on the park. I came home and immediately booked my next stay with them. This is just simply a wonderful place to spend time while exploring Yosemite Park.
