A reverse osmosis water filter and LED lighting complete this luxury vacation home.

The Chalet has full house air conditioning, remote control heating, Dish HD TV and satellite internet. We have stocked the home with games, books and park information. The covered rear deck is tucked away in the back to provide you a quiet and private place to relax and enjoy the birds, animals and forest views. The front deck is large with chairs, tables and special lounge chairs for children. A gas barbecue is provided for your grilling pleasure.

The bedrooms are furnished with quality mattresses, linens and plenty of storage. There are remote controls for AC, heat, ceiling fans and even a heated bed cover for your personal comfort.

There is a king bed with day bed and full closet in the main floor bedroom. The 2nd floor bedroom has a comfortable queen bed, dresser and windows with forest views.

Each bathroom is stocked with organic soap, shampoo and conditioner, and has a Jacuzzi jetted tub to help you relax after a long day of hiking and exploring the wonders of Yosemite.

The Chalet is finished with eco-friendly bamboo wood floors, a modern color palette, scenic artwork, LED lighting with dimmers, new windows with forest views and new mahogany doors throughout the home. All the furnishing are new and designer quality.

Please note there are security cameras outside the chalet that monitor the front door, back door, shed door, and the driveway.

This is the perfect getaway for two couples, a small family or friends in search of a new Yosemite adventure.

Best stocked kitchen ever

Had a wonderful week here enjoying Yosemite Notational Park! My family of 4 flew from Ohio to enjoy spring break and were extremely comfortable and happy with chalet. One of the best stocked and organized kitchens you will ever find in a rental! Everything you needed to know was clearly labeled and explained in the binder. Would absolutely rent again!

Firefall Introduction

My husband and I come to Firefall annually and love Yosemite. This year we traveled with our daughter and her boyfriend making it very special. The chalet was a nice find for our trip. It was private, clean, comfortable and conveniently located within the park. Thank you.

Water supply is vital

Overall, pretty clean and comfortable with plenty of essentials. Only bummer was when we returned from a beautiful day of hiking Yosemite on our last afternoon and found that the water had been shut off by Public Works. Scraped through the night and had to leave early the next morning. Better check with the owner about that if you’re interested in staying there…

The VRBO was clean and well appointed . AC and internet here also excellent. The location was inside Yosemite so it cut our travel time each day in half. It did not have much in the way of views but after long days of hiking we were more interested in creature comforts.

Perfect Sibling Getaway!

My brother and I were looking for somewhere to stay near the park as we had won a Half Dome permit and would need to get on the trail early. This was the perfect pick. The community of Yosemite West is quiet and gorgeous and about a half hour from the Valley. The house was the perfect size for us, the beds were comfortable (MUCH appreciated after long hiking days), and we loved the front porch. We didn’t cook, but the kitchen was very well-stocked. There are many books about Yosemite, some puzzles, and children’s books and games. I would absolutely stay here again.

Location great, cleanliness fell short for us

We arrived about 4:30 pm to find the place a mess and not yet cleaned. By the time we connected with owner and he got cleaning crew out it was 8:30 before we could check in and use the place, so not a great start. Even after cleaning the entry mat was still dirty, used wash cloths in both baths and dust you could see all over from Lott looking down so I’m not sure how this place gets such a great review for cleanliness. It was great being inside the park and we did enjoy Yosemite. This is about as close as you can get without camping or staying at a Yosemite hotel/lodge. About 30 min drive into that area. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked.

Family visiting Yosemite for the first time. Was the perfect setup. Yosemite west is a little far from sites in the park but I don’t think you can do any better if you want to rent a house. We were able to cook out meals and get a great night’s sleep. Host was super responsive.

Great home base for an amazing time at Yosemit

This cabin was a wonderful place to stay for our trip to Yosemite. Yosemite is a large park with limited accommodations for our family of 5 but this cabin was perfect. We appreciated the air conditioning and the space! It was located within the park entrance and we loved that we got to enjoy the Tunnel View each time we entered the valley. The location was also convenient to everything we wanted to do in Yosemite. We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone traveling to Yosemite.

Close to Yosemite & Well Setup!

Before I begin, do NOT be like us and forget to have the check-in info in either a hard copy format or screen printed photos on your phone, because we had zero cell coverage with AT&T regardless of where we were in the neighborhood. We ended up having to go back into Wawona in order to connect and retrieve the check-in info, which took a little more than an hour. We stayed here in July of 2024, so it was awesome to come home to a nice cool home (even when the AC was turned off while we were gone) and a shower after a long day of outdoor hiking and exploring! The kitchen was perfectly outfitted, which allowed us to easily cook our own tasty meals each evening. The beds were comfortable, the mini-split ACs worked great, and the TV had many service options! The size of the unit was great for our family of four. The Starlink internet was reliable and easy to use. If you have an EV, there was a plug at the front of the home, though we did not use it as our van is just a regular gasoline vehicle. The driveway is very steep and I cannot imagine driving our minivan up it in winter, plus the parking at top is tight. Though, we were able to manage without problems. Overall, I recommend this unit to anyone visiting Yosemite who doesn’t want to fight the crowds in the park after a day of exploring! Oh! We also had one minor concern while staying, and after I texted the managing owner, they called me within just a couple of minutes to resolve! Thank you!!

Ideal location for Yosemite

We stayed 4 nights in July and loved the proximity to Yosemite. It is especially convenient to Glacier Point Road. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our meals in. The beds were very comfortable and it was really nice to have a separate bathroom for our 18-year-old son! The one evening the power went out, the manager was responsive and helped get information from the electric company. (It was out in the whole neighborhood.) The cabin was nicely stocked and appointed. A great stay!

Perfect location for our family trip to Yosemite

I was lucky enough to be able to book this place a couple of months prior to our trip and it ended up being just perfect !!! I totally recommend staying at Yosemite West for your stay - and this cottage was just perfect. everything was well thought out for the guests to feel comfortable during our stay. Beds are super comfy, AC + fans made the cottage very comfortable considering the very hot weather outside, had lots of various books (including info on the Park) and games, the kitchen was more than well equipped ! only comment is to recommend adding wine - beer glasses to the kitchen ;) I would definitely recommend this place if you are going to this amazing National Park !!! Many thanks to the hosts.

Well stocked 2bed 2bath inside Yosemite

Perfect for 3 adults and 2 kids for 3 night stay in July. House was ideally located inside Yosemite Park. Very well stocked with kids supplies (toys, games, high chair, Pack N Play). Kitchen was the most well stocked of any rental house (appliances, cooking supplies, nice cookware). Washer and dryer in house with detergent. Also electric car charger. Just bring your own groceries and you will be all set. Will stay again on our next visit.

About the host

Hosted by Simmy

Host profile image
We are a young family with two beautiful girls who love to explore the wonders of Yosemite. I work long days in the medical research field, my wife is busy with the girls and we split our time between San Jose and Yosemite.

Why they chose this property

We had explored Yosemite Park for years before finding the Chalet in 2014. The house was a diamond in the rough. After a year of extensive remodeling we have created our dream vacation home that we are proud to share with travelers to the Park.

What makes this property unique

The Chalet is a private home on a large lot in Yosemite West. This special community is located inside the gates of the Park at 6000' elevation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

We're the perfect location to base your exploration of Yosemite. It's 25 minutes north to Yosemite Valley, 25 minutes east to Glacier Point, 15 minutes to Badger Pass and 25 minutes south to Wawona. The three main attractions of Yosemite are easy and scenic drives from the Chalet.

We are one of the few properties to have air conditioning to help beat the summer heat.
