INSIDE YOSEMITE! 10 Minutes From Yosemite Valley. Summer and fall openings!

Ten minutes from Yosemite Valley and conveniently located on the paved road, this one bedroom cabin in Foresta offers complete relaxation in a quiet setting. The full kitchen includes all modern appliances (excepting dishwasher) and comes equipped with dining area, coffee maker, toaster, blender, pots, pans & dishes. Or use the propane BBQ while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Eat on the screened porch, safe from pesky bugs, or relax on the couch. The modern bathroom features a walk-in shower and stacked washer/dryer. The bedroom has a comfortable King bed, closet and supplemental electric stove. Equipped with romantic flame gas insert and A/C. Explore the quiet surroundings, stroll to Crane Creek moments away, then rest under the shady oaks and pines. (See also our sister listing #726304, Shady Grove Cabin for additional two person accommodation.)
Foresta is a great starting point to various Yosemite destinations, Yosemite Valley, Tuolumne Meadows, the Merced & Tuolumne Groves of Sequoias and many hiking trails. Offering Free satellite TV, WIFI and HughesNet Gen4 internet, Verizon's 4G network is also available.

Foresta is located within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park. Now known as an “inholding”, Foresta (Big Meadow) started as a pioneering area. Two ranches (McCauley and Meyers) provided beef, pork, dairy and vegetables to the Yosemite Valley hotels. In the twenties, it was sub-divided and given the name of Foresta. Created as an “artistic” community, musical gatherings were held by the creek. After the Great Depression, many lots were sold for back taxes. Approximately 75 homes were in use, either full time or seasonally, before the 1993 A-Rock fire destroyed most of them. More than half of the homes have now been rebuilt. Fire has been a defining force in this area, showcasing Mother Nature's endless cycles.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. A TV comes with satellite channels and a DVD player, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Super Comfortable Cabin

Great place for 2! Well-stocked, clean kitchen. Comfortable and spacious (very remote) environment. 10 min to Yosemite Valley is a STRETCH however - plan on 30-35. Multiple drives back and forth beautiful though. Check-in process a bit bumpy with poor cell reception to reach owner/Wi-Fi login unclear. Owner was very responsive however.

You can’t beat the proximity to Yosemite!

This place really does check off everything you need. The kitchen was stocked with salt, pepper, olive oil, and a few other things that made cooking easy. As well as all the coffee you needed. It was a bit dark and stuffy. But the owners worked with us to fix the fans. They could actually use an updated floor fan. That one’s on its last leg.Again, I think it’s a fine place, some of the rugs could probably use replacing and the bed could be updated. But beds are so weird some people like soft some people like them hard. This is very hard. But I did sleep OK on it.I really do think just a few updates would make this place a five instead of a four star. Mainly either get new rugs or get rid of the rugs completely.

Scenic and quiet location at Yosemite

We liked being located in a scenic and quiet location far away from the large crowds surrounding Yosemite Village. However, it does take 20 minutes driving time from the cabin to get to Yosemite Village and some major attractions of the park. The kitchen of the cabin has been updated where it is brightly lit and well equipped for making meals throughout your stay. The only convenience it doesn't have is a dishwasher.We appreciated being provided ample supplies of toilet tissue, paper towels, dish detergent, and hand soap for our week long stay so we didn't have to replenish anything. The bathroom was ample in size and had a good shower that offered ample warm water. The owner provided ample cabinet space for renters to put their items in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. The screened in porch was a nice and relaxing place to have dinner and also be protected from the mosquitoes.There is a rental home and private home located on both sides of the cabin, but we weren't bothered by the activity or noise level at either location. We really enjoyed the peaceful and pleasant experience we had renting this cabin and can recommend staying here if your prefer being located away from the large crowds.

Great cabin

We enjoyed staying in this cabin within Yosemite. It was quiet, private, clean, and had everything we needed. Being inside the park made it very easy and convenient to drive to all the sites we wanted to see. My recommendations to make the bedroom more comfortable for guests would be to eventually get a more comfortable bed and to have a fan in the bedroom. There is a ceiling fan but the overhead light wouldn’t turn off while the fan stayed on. Thank you for the great stay!

Yosemite Valley close by.

The property was only "semi"-clean. Plenty of room, quiet beautiful location. Sagging spot in the floor covered by carpet was disconcerting. Shower head was gross. Air conditioning was window unit, not central air. Couldn't use fan in BR without light being on because switch was broken. Luggage rack broken. Tired furniture. For the price over all just OK.

Great being inside the park.

It was great being inside the park and near the valley. Initially, the location was challenging to find, but the rustic cabin was nice. My only issues were the cleanliness of the property and that only one small a/c unit was available in the living area, which made the bedroom very warm.

Charming Cabin

My husband and I greatly enjoyed the convenient location and privacy of this quaint cabin. The house was very clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay in Yosemite National Park. The neighborhood was extremely peaceful and quiet, and all the sites in the park that we wanted to visit were within a 15-45 minute drive. The kitchen has a nice, large refrigerator with plenty of room for your groceries. The house has a window air conditioning unit in the living room and a ceiling fan in the bedroom. There was plenty of hot water and clean towels, along with laundry detergent for the stacked washer/dryer in the bathroom. It was fun to see the deer, quail, woodpeckers, and other birds near the cabin, and we enjoyed the walk down the dirt road where we saw a pretty little waterfall.

We stocked up on groceries and stayed here 6 nights end of July. We loved the privacy and e had while still being in the park a short drive to all the hikes we knocked out while here. We had everything we needed, clean, great location to park trailheads, grill, and just passed the house is a river to cool off in! Would highly recommend! The directions are easy to follow and Annie was responsive via text

Great little cottage off the beaten path.

To begin with, the host was very communicative. She even gave us road closure updates as we were traveling to Yosemite. Although it is pretty remote,the cottage was easy to find with Google Maps navigation. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable.The area where it is located is several miles from the valley, although still within the park, so there was plenty of peace and quiet. Even with the extreme heat, it was a wonderful experience. Next time we will go in the spring, and if possible, we won't hesitate to try to book this property again.

Serene and Close to Park

We loved staying here. We were barely 20 minutes from Yosemite valley. As Half Dome hikers, this was a critical part of our day. And every day we got home from epic hikes to a quiet, serene home, with birds chirping while we ate dinner on the screened in porch. The home was very equipped for longer stays and we enjoyed everyday. Highly recommend and hope to be back!

We loved the convenience of being within the park combined with the ability to get away from the crowds. The private niche of Foresta with quaint cabins and solitude was a gem for us.

Charming classic cabin with modern updates and an incredible property manager to boot. The screened in porch was perfect for meals, and the kitchen has been beautifully updated. Annie and Rick were both communicative and so kind. It’s a short 15 minute walk to a pretty waterfall, and if you go to the top of the hill, you’ve got a breathtaking view of El Capitan and Half Dome from afar. 100% would stay again.

Great place to stay in Yosemite

We loved our stay. It was a comfortable to come back to after exploring the park. The kitchen was well stocked. We used the cast iron skillet every night and ate on the screened in porch. Buy groceries before entering the park though the Village store seemed to have a lot. There are coolers to use. Be sure to walk down the road and onto the Foresta trail. Going past the small waterfall provides a nice view. Definitely a great place to stay.
