Yosemite west is a phenomenal place to stay in the park- roughly 25 -30 min drive to the valley floor. It’s a nice quiet neighborhood but it is at a high elevation, which can impact cooking . The place was clean , but dated . The pool table was a hit with our family. Pots and pans were scratched with teflon, so I would recommend bringing your own if possible. No ice maker in the fridge so bring your own ice if you need it. No kettle available at the time but there were coffee makers . It was nice that there were some spices available as well. The outdoor grill worked well and propane was supplied by the owner. The place worked well for our group which was 2 families. Two rooms were next to each other downstairs along with a full bathroom. Upstairs there was a king bed and full bathroom and a sauna that got warm but not super hot. It was difficult at times to plug in our devices in the plugs were loose and would just fall out . Other than that great stay!!

The place could use a little bit of renovating but it was clean and worked for our family of seven (5 adults, 2 kids, and a dog). The location was perfect being inside the park. I would warn that the driveway is steep. Both of our cars would scraped at the end of the driveway. Overall we had a great time and would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay Jan 1-4 as we kicked off the New Year and celebrated a birthday. The cabin is nestled in a quiet location and a short drive to the Yosemite Valley Tunnel View. The rooms were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. I appreciated the ceiling fans and free standing fan as I get overheated while sleeping… even in winter. The fireplace was easy to operate and there was dry wood under the porch. Our teen boys stayed off their screens because of the pool table, yay. The water pressure and temperature in the shower were perfect and the kitchen appliances all worked great. We enjoyed the expansive windows and comfortable sofas. Highly recommend the Storybook Chalet!

Best place to stay for Yosemite

We had a great time here. Location is inside park so you don’t need to make peak time reservations for park entry Property has great view, plenty of room at living areas We had a lot of fun playing pools there. Rooms have everything you need and expect for vacation rental. Best part is communications with host. Eric was super helpful with all information we needed before, during and after our stay. We definitely will come back here for future trips!
