Surrounded by tall pines and just minutes from Yosemite's southern entrance in the residential community of Fish Camp, This unique mountain cabin can be your family-friendly home away from home while exploring the natural beauty of Yosemite National Park. The Little Pine cabin is the smaller of two cabins at the Yosemite Forest Lodge.

To get here it's just a short drive off of Highway 41, through the forest along a narrow road that was once a railroad right-of-way. When you arrive you'll find your home situated in a gently-sloped clearing surrounded by a majestic grove of gigantic pines. Outside your home there is an open yard area, a private deck and covered porch areas so you can enjoy the forest environment comfortably in any weather.

It's best to contact us by email but you can also call and leave a message if you prefer. When checking our calendar remember that we normally need a full calendar day between groups in order to prepare the house. Happy planning!

The elevation here is just over 5000 feet; it is nearly always cool and shady in the summer, with comfortable daytime highs that average in the 70's (~20 degrees Celsius) and cool evenings with average lows in the low 50's (~10 degrees Celsius). There is very little or no rain during the summer months. The low humidity means your towels and swimsuits will air-dry quickly.

Our prime location puts you away from the crowds, yet close to everything Yosemite has to offer. The southern entrance to Yosemite is less than two miles up the road. If you love the outdoors, this is the place to call home. There is so much do to here that you could easily fill your day with excitement without ever entering the park itself!

Convenient location near Yosemite south entrance

Great place!

We loved our stay at Little Pine. The caretaker was very responsive and helpful and the place was clean and stocked well and absolutely perfect for our needs. I was a bit worried about no air conditioning but they are absolutely correct in saying that air is not needed. It was very cool and comfortable. I guess that’s the mountain climate.

Great cabin tucked away yet so close to park

we stayed whiled visiting Yosemite. This location is so close to the park entrance. But understand once you enter the gate, its still a beautiful winding road drive for about 45 minutes. There is plenty of amenities near by as well. Great spot would rent there again.

Home away from home

Loved the setting of the Little Pine Cabin! It was homelike and comfortable. The kitchen was updated and bright, and had everything we needed. The bathroom, however, could use an update and needs more space…maybe a renovation to take part of the bedroom closet and add that space to bathroom, but we appreciated that there were plenty of big fluffy towels and plenty of hot water!

Perfect for us

I stayed in this cabin with my two teenage sons. Just the right size and plenty of space for the three of us. Location is great as it is just a couple miles from the south entrance of Yosemite. Neighborhood is quiet and charming. Neighbors are friendly and we learned a little bit about what its like to live in Fish Camp. Everything in the cabin works (great wifi!) and we were quite comfortable. I would stay again and I will recommend to others.

Great Location for Yosemite Valley

We loved our stay at Little Pine Cabin! We just wanted to keep with the outdoor / forest vibe during our Yosemite hiking trip and avoid the hotel/touristy feel. This place definitely delivered on what we wanted, and the owner David was extremely communicative when needed. It's a 2 minute drive off of Hwy 41, that drives straight into Yosemite, and about 5-10 minutes from the parks entrance near Mariposa Grove that has the large Sequoia trees. We felt that it was a perfect location and about as close as your going to get without actually staying inside the park. If you're going hiking like we did, start your drive around 5-5:30 am into the park to avoid the lines at entrance, get good parking at trailheads, and avoid the crowds at trail summits! What a fantastic trip! David thanks so much for sharing your place with us :)

Great place to stay near Yosemite

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute little cabin. It is older, but clean, and it has everything you need under the sun including kitchen utensils, kitchen spices, bath linens, and more. The washer and dryer was very nice to have. The shower has great pressure, the bed was comfortable, and the porch was awesome for relaxing with our coffee in the morning. To top it off, it is located less than 10 minutes from the park’s south entrance. We were in heaven staying at this place and recommend it 100%. Take note that the cabin has no A/C, but opening both of the windows in the bedroom at night was perfect, and we slept comfortably. Running both the box fans also helps circulate the air. Thankfully the temps at night are very cool! We had a wonderful stay, and we were sad to leave!

Great for a couple

My partner and I stayed here for a weekend. We are night owls and heard rodents in the ceiling past midnight. There were a few spiders in the sink and tub when we arrived but it was a nice small space for us to stay. We both haven’t lived in snowy areas and were happy to see this property still had snow after a few weeks no snowfall and in 30’s-40’s F. Will note it was melting but if you’re looking with the same weather prepare for snow. There are physical keys provided, once using the code into the house on arrival. The host do have another larger house on the same property. This property is also in a closer knit neighborhood, can see neighbors through trees, and there is a security camera on the front porch facing the road. Over all a great place to stay! Would book again.

Wonderful time

This was my husband and my first time to Yosemite National Park. We stayed a week and this little cabin was perfect and so was the location. We also enjoyed that Sierra National Forest was so close and that it was not far from Oakhurst, a larger city with grocery stores and restaurants. We would choose this cabin again!

Charming Cabin in Perfect Location

We had a great stay: the Little Pine cabin had everything we needed and was a perfect retreat after the day of hiking. Fish camp is as close as it gets to Yosemite’s South Gate and the majestic Mariposa Grove. Oakhurst was also a short drive with terrific food. Signage and directions from the property owners was super clear and made things easy.
