Beautiful cottage with an amazing view! You can't beat the location for visiting Yosemite. Jeff is a wonderful host and the cottage is well appointed, luxurious and very comfortable. We highly recommend it! Do take note that the listing mentions stairs down to the cottage. There are quite a few and not suitable for anyone with mobility or health issues.
The house was perfect for our 25th Anniversary trip! Loved staying in the park, and it is in a great location. It had everything we needed and the rear deck offered great sunset views. There are quite a few stairs to get your bags down, but if you're planning on exploring any Yosemite trails this is just a warm up. Would stay again!
We loved our stay at the cottage from June 24 - June 26th! The location was beautiful and very convenient to Yosemite. We loved having a peaceful escape at the end of a day of hiking and the views from the balcony are incredible! The cottage was cozy and had everything we would want for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We will definitely recommend to friends and book again on our next trip to Yosemite!
We absolutely loved this property. It was clean, owners were awesome and you cannot beat the location or the view! You won’t regret staying at the beautiful property.
Fantastic location, well-equipped and cozy cabin, ideal for visiting Yosemite and only twenty minutes from the valley floor. Wonderful views and sunsets from the deck.
Excellent place to stay in Yosemite! The house was immaculate and offered every amenity one could want. The host communicated efficiently and was extremely kind. We will definitely stay there again!
The property was as described and wonderful. The care and attention paid to COVID conscious guests was refreshing and greatly appreciated. The cabin was beautiful and so comfortable we didn’t want to leave to go down to the Yosemite valley. We’re already looking forward to going back!
This vrbo is a great, intimate cottage just inside Yosemite. I absolutely loved the jacuzzi tub and the overall look and feel of the cottage. And the host was very helpful and courteous.
We had an incredible time! The Hideaway has everything you need for a comfortable stay. After a long day at the park it was nice to cook dinner and recover with a good night’s rest in the very comfy bed. Easy drive into the park’s main attractions. Would love to stay again one day.
We loved every minute of our stay in The Hideaway. It was so cozy, comfortable and seeing the lineup of vehicles coming into Yosemite as we were leaving made us so glad we opted to stay inside the park. The hosts provided a wealth of info regarding their property as well as how best to enjoy the park and general area. Can’t wait to come back!
This house is perfect for a couple - plenty of nice clean space, with a view. The location can't be beat - inside the park very close to Glacier Point, and with your stay here you do NOT need a reservation to get into the park - that is included! As a bonus, the sunsets from the patio are amazing, and one night we saw a mama bear with her baby cub walking up the hill beside the house - all around fantastic!
The cabin is wonderful. Very clean and the views are spectacular. You're only about a 25-minute drive from the valley inside the gates of the park. It has a lovely patio with an incredible view. The neighbors are all far enough away that you have your privacy.0
