Reservation Never Needed! Private Home with Stunning Half Dome & El Cap Views!
Stay inside the park! See Half Dome and El Capitan from the comfort of our deck!
There are only a handful of rentals within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park with comparable views. With this summer’s reservation system still up in the air, we know park access feels uncertain, but if you stay with us, you won’t need to secure a separate entry reservation when one is required by the National Park Service.
Yosemite Valley View is in a uniquely special location within the private enclave of Foresta, just 10 minutes from the valley floor. Our reviews consistently reflect how happy guests are with both the house and its location. Beyond the incredible views from the deck, our property offers direct access to hiking trails and a beautiful waterfall nearby.
The home is 2,000 square feet, fully appointed, and features granite countertops in the kitchen. It sleeps six in three bedrooms with queen-size beds, plus a comfortable sofa bed in the loft. Enjoy the huge deck, perfect for wildlife viewing, stargazing, yoga, or simply relaxing while barbecuing with an amazing view!
The kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with essentials such as paper towels, napkins, and coffee filters. Free high-speed, unlimited Wi-Fi is provided through Verizon.
Our location is ideal for those looking to avoid crowds. We are in a private area with no close neighbors and open space on two sides. Yosemite Valley View is one of the closest private rentals to Yosemite Village.
To ensure you have the experience you expect, please be aware that many other homes listed under "Yosemite National Park" can be up to an hour’s drive outside the park—and with traffic, getting in can take even longer.
Guests must abide by house rules and digitally sign a rental agreement via Dropbox Sign. No pets. Smoking is never allowed anywhere on the property. A webcam adjacent to the parking area provides security and helps assess weather conditions but does not view interior spaces. Holiday rates apply.
Please note: We are not responsible for the information in the "About the Neighborhood" section, as it is generated by AI and may not always be accurate. We are always happy to answer questions at any stage of the booking process.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
