About this property

INSIDE YOSEMITE! 10 Minutes From Yosemite Valley. Summer and fall openings!

  • Ten minutes from Yosemite Valley and conveniently located on the paved road, this one bedroom cabin in Foresta offers complete relaxation in a quiet setting. The full kitchen includes all modern appliances (excepting dishwasher) and comes equipped with dining area, coffee maker, toaster, blender, pots, pans & dishes. Or use the propane BBQ while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Eat on the screened porch, safe from pesky bugs, or relax on the couch. The modern bathroom features a walk-in shower and stacked washer/dryer. The bedroom has a comfortable King bed, closet and supplemental electric stove. Equipped with romantic flame gas insert and A/C. Explore the quiet surroundings, stroll to Crane Creek moments away, then rest under the shady oaks and pines. (See also our sister listing #726304, Shady Grove Cabin for additional two person accommodation.)
    Foresta is a great starting point to various Yosemite destinations, Yosemite Valley, Tuolumne Meadows, the Merced & Tuolumne Groves of Sequoias and many hiking trails. Offering Free satellite TV, WIFI and HughesNet Gen4 internet, Verizon's 4G network is also available.

    Foresta is located within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park. Now known as an “inholding”, Foresta (Big Meadow) started as a pioneering area. Two ranches (McCauley and Meyers) provided beef, pork, dairy and vegetables to the Yosemite Valley hotels. In the twenties, it was sub-divided and given the name of Foresta. Created as an “artistic” community, musical gatherings were held by the creek. After the Great Depression, many lots were sold for back taxes. Approximately 75 homes were in use, either full time or seasonally, before the 1993 A-Rock fire destroyed most of them. More than half of the homes have now been rebuilt. Fire has been a defining force in this area, showcasing Mother Nature's endless cycles.

Property was great! Expect closer to 30 min to get to most Yosemite Valley destinations, but the drive in is gorgeous so can’t really complain there. There’s good cellular service at the property and the host was a great communicator! We had some very uncharacteristic thunderstorms during our stay so some power outages occurred but they were solved reasonably quickly. Nice a quiet with a trail head right behind the property.

Perfect location

This was the perfect location for exploring the valley. Come prepared with groceries in hand and you will be set for tranquility and some great treks into the valley. The space was clean and as advertised. Owners were very responsive and helpful.

Loved cabin in Forests!

We loved the convenience of being within the park combined with the ability to get away from the crowds. The private niche of Foresta with quaint cabins and solitude was a gem for us. Just down the dirt road from our cabin was a beautiful waterfall that was fun to walk to. The cabin was very clean, comfortable, kitchen well stocked, it is not “fancy” by extremely comfortable.

Great private cabin

We stocked up on groceries and stayed here 6 nights end of July. We loved the privacy and e had while still being in the park a short drive to all the hikes we knocked out while here. We had everything we needed, clean, great location to park trailheads, grill, and just passed the house is a river to cool off in! Would highly recommend! The directions are easy to follow and Annie was responsive via text

Serene and Close to Park

We loved staying here. We were barely 20 minutes from Yosemite valley. As Half Dome hikers, this was a critical part of our day. And every day we got home from epic hikes to a quiet, serene home, with birds chirping while we ate dinner on the screened in porch. The home was very equipped for longer stays and we enjoyed everyday. Highly recommend and hope to be back!

Charming cabin in rustic Yosemite

Charming classic cabin with modern updates and an incredible property manager to boot. The screened in porch was perfect for meals, and the kitchen has been beautifully updated. Annie and Rick were both communicative and so kind. It’s a short 15 minute walk to a pretty waterfall, and if you go to the top of the hill, you’ve got a breathtaking view of El Capitan and Half Dome from afar. 100% would stay again.

Great little cottage off the beaten path.

To begin with, the host was very communicative. She even gave us road closure updates as we were traveling to Yosemite. Although it is pretty remote,the cottage was easy to find with Google Maps navigation. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable.The area where it is located is several miles from the valley, although still within the park, so there was plenty of peace and quiet. Even with the extreme heat, it was a wonderful experience. Next time we will go in the spring, and if possible, we won't hesitate to try to book this property again.

Yosemite Valley close by.

The property was only "semi"-clean. Plenty of room, quiet beautiful location. Sagging spot in the floor covered by carpet was disconcerting. Shower head was gross. Air conditioning was window unit, not central air. Couldn't use fan in BR without light being on because switch was broken. Luggage rack broken. Tired furniture. For the price over all just OK.

Charming Cabin

My husband and I greatly enjoyed the convenient location and privacy of this quaint cabin. The house was very clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay in Yosemite National Park. The neighborhood was extremely peaceful and quiet, and all the sites in the park that we wanted to visit were within a 15-45 minute drive. The kitchen has a nice, large refrigerator with plenty of room for your groceries. The house has a window air conditioning unit in the living room and a ceiling fan in the bedroom. There was plenty of hot water and clean towels, along with laundry detergent for the stacked washer/dryer in the bathroom. It was fun to see the deer, quail, woodpeckers, and other birds near the cabin, and we enjoyed the walk down the dirt road where we saw a pretty little waterfall.

Location was amazing! It took us about 20 minutes to get to Curry Village. The host was very responsive and gave excellent directions and check in information. The house is rustic but has updated kitchen. The mattress is very firm which was uncomfortable for us, but may be fine for others. My only recommendation is maybe a mattress topper available in the very large closet. Again, you cannot beat the location. There is actually a trailhead for YNP just steps from the cabin that leads to an amazing private creek area and 40’ waterfall.
