Yosemite National Park Get Away House
Wonderful stay at the Chalet! We enjoyed the All-in-One family Style open kitchen/ dining room/ pool table/ wood fireplace/ wooden A-framed ceiling/ cozy furniture around tv/ starlink. The beds and linens very good/ upstairs master suite has reading nook and a very clean sauna. Family 5-adults. Weekend stay 40min drive to valley for all day sunny hikes. 3” snow night of departure. Very memorable stay!

Great location able to walk behind the house to a ridge when not ready to drive down to the valley. Hot tub was a blast with the cold weather. We loved the house and layout- better than the pictures, which is usually the other way around. Kitchen had everything including coffee filters and trash bags which is great

Amazing Stay
Our family recently stayed at the Storybook Chalet inside Yosemite National Park, and even though the weather didn’t cooperate with snow, we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The property is truly a gem, combining comfort, charm, and an unbeatable location right inside Yosemite!The Chalet is beautifully designed and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The cozy wood stove and plush bedding made every night feel like a retreat, and the kids absolutely loved the pool table. We also took full advantage of the sauna and spa—such a treat after a day of exploring (or in our case, cozying up indoors during the rain).We’re already planning our next trip and hoping for some snow next time to fully experience all the area has to offer.Highly recommend it!

Great chalet for our family trip
The location was beautiful, and central to all parts of Yosemite that we wanted to see. The chalet was spacious, and kitchen well equiped for our meals. We had our adult kids with us, and our 15 month old grandson. The hot tub and pool table was great as well for evening fun.

Storybook stay
We had a lovely stay. Very quiet and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils/pans The property manager, Eric, was very attentive and helpful. FYI, the driveway is steep so enter from the uphill side and stay to the left for the first 8-10 feet.

Great place
Great place and location. So convenient being inside the park. Easy to find. Comfy beds. Great supply of firewood. Loved having the pool table. A few down notes: oven did not heat enough to cook our meal (so we improvised), hot tub jets were weak, and there was a (planned?) power outage so we returned to complete darkness with no warning from the property owner. Being from NY we don’t know anything about planned outages but a heads up would have been appreciated. Cleanliness was ok but cleaners should maybe look up. Overall would probably stay again. Property manager was very quick to respond to calls.

Perfect location
The Storybook Chalet is everything we hoped it would be. The home is very comfortable with enough space for the whole family. The hot tub was a perfect way to end the day. The location is perfect to get to major hike locations with being smack dab in the middle of glacier point and the valley. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Making my bucket list come true and then some!
I have wanted to spend Christmas in Yosemite and this home was the perfect location and exceeded my expectations in comfort and convenience. The hosts were very gracious in allowing us to bring our dogs. The kitchen was great for preparing special and ordinary meals including baking. Very roomy and well-stocked with lots of cooking supplies. Rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. Lots of spots and nooks to read, play games, visit throughout the home. I especially enjoyed the living space in the loft area which can also double as a sleeping spot if needed. The master bedroom upstairs was furnished beautifully and there is a dry sauna off the bathroom upstairs which was greatly appreciated after being in the hot-tub in the snow! Yes it snowed on the 24th ALOT and we had troubles getting to the property and up the driveway. But our host got right on it and the driveway was plowed and sanded quickly. Deer greeted us the first day and visited every day. This home played a huge part in making a lifetime memory.

Great Spot
Really like the cabin, feel like we lucked out getting it. Nice sitting outside or in the hot tub star gazing. The cabin was spacious and cozy, with lots of your basics. The only issue was the downstairs bathroom toilet, you definitely have to pull the lever up when you are finished, but I am sure Eric/Jesse will have that fixed before the next guest arrive. Fun times and great experience for my first trip to Yosemite.
