Upscale Air-Conditioned Yosemite West Vacation Home Inside Park Gates

Cedar Star at Yosemite is designed to maximize guest comfort and convenience. This first-class house features air conditioning, a whole-house automatic standby generator (there are frequent utility power outages in Yosemite), king size beds in each of three bedrooms, a queen-size sofa bed, well-appointed bathrooms (including 2 with steam showers and 1 with a jetted tub), 2 full-size gourmet kitchens (including a 36-inch induction cook-top and convection oven on the main floor), and large covered wraparound decks on each floor to enjoy the view of local mountains and sunsets.

Plenty of space to gather as a group inside and outside on the decks, and also quieter, more private areas when you need some quiet time.

Additional features include hardwood and tile floors, high-end room-size rugs, 2 television areas with 60" LED screens, Wi-Fi internet, satellite TV, off-street all-season parking for 5 cars, washer and dryer, and easy access to the main floor from the street so you don't have to carry luggage and groceries up flights of stairs to enter the house.

Please note that there may be doorbell and/or other type of security camera(s) located on the exterior of the house. Guests will be advised of each device's exact location prior to check-in if any security camera is installed and active.

Cedar Star at Yosemite strongly recommends that guests purchase travel insurance. Refunds and/or credits outside of VRBO's cancellation policy will not be granted unless the house is inaccessible due to park closure, evacuation orders, or major utility failure.

Follow all local safety advisories regarding travel in California.

Perfect place for a relaxing getaway
We stayed for four nights and loved it. It couldn't be more thoughtfully planned out, and well appointed. We came ready to enjoy family company and cook memorable dinners, and the kitchens have everything to do that. There are also more games and movies and beautiful views to fill the rest of the time. It's a well built and beautiful home. Everything is written out, and check in and check out is easy.

Amazing property with a SUPER ATTENTIVE host 👍
We had a exceptional stay at this 3 floor home nestled in the Yosemite wilderness! Check in was super easy and we were greeted with the most extensive welcome pack we had ever seen! Pretty much any amenities you could think of were provided (even toothbrushes) and a really extensive guide to the park with suggested hikes and places to visit. The property was set up with so much care and it was greatly appreciated. We would definitely come back and we recommend it to everyone! Thank you Donald

Newer and Upscale Accommodation in Excellent Location inside YNP
Fully equipped and abundantly stocked house/kitchen, located inside the YNP conveniently located to many of the popular points of interests. Our experience right from the booking to checkin to checkout was very smooth and flawless. Communication with the owner was very pleasant and prompt - the owner was very prompt and thorough in answering our questions and providing clear instructions. Our overall experience of staying at this property was very enjoyable. The house was well maintained, spacious, clean and tidy. The view from the balcony was very good. Our overall rating is 5- stars. Only recommendation is to install grab bars in bathrooms for seniors.

Great house in Yosemite West!!
We loved our stay. House was perfect for our family and very well appointed. Because it was inside Yosemite park, we didn’t need to sit in traffic going through the gate each day. House provided everything you could think of and has our highest recommendation.

Great Experience
The house is tremendous! Very clean, well-furnished, well-stocked (including toothbrushes and toothpaste), comfortable, large, and in a scenic area. The owner and caretaker also went above and beyond when we left behind a wedding ring to make sure it was safe so that it could be returned. All in all a great experience!

Great location, excellent views, responsive host
This house is in an epic location ! You have views from almost every window. It looks like you are in a tree house. Every floor has stunning views of trees and the mountains. The amenities provided are plentiful. The kitchen is fully stocked, as is toilet paper and paper towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste . There are board games , a second kitchen on the lower floor, and you could easily stay here with 3 separate families or 3 separate couples .Donald was very responsive . We will definitely stay here again. A couple of things that could be improved: 1) egg crate mattresses since the beds aren’t comfortable ( too hard ) 2) this place needed a thorough dusting. We were sneezing a lot and there was a lot of dust on things indicating that probably no one had stayed here recently or a deep clean was needed 3) outdoor parking in the winter . When we arrived, there was a ton of snow blocking the walkway and entrance into the home and a very small red shovel to dig our way out , that was located inside the house. On the second day, a crew arrived to help us dig our car out ( after more snow blocked our way out) and they provided us with shovels. In the future , having a clearer access to the place on our first day would be helpful , including a good shovel .

This house was amazing. I wish we could have stayed longer and really enjoyed hanging out in the house more. The house was very nicely decorated, the kitchen was well stocked and the views were priceless.

A dream property in a dream location!
This house was perfection. Don provided every amenity we could have ever needed, and the decor was beautiful and comfortable. The multiple levels allowed our family to gather together or have alone time. The only negative to this house was having to leave it!! Five-plus stars.

Highly Recommended!!
What a great house! Everything you could possibly need to make yourself comfortable is supplied for you. We were so impressed!! My four adult children and their two guests all fit comfortably. Having the three floors made everyone feel like they had their own private space. We especially LOVED gathering upstairs in the kitchen and cooking family meals together every night. Everything you need to cook a meal plus a grill is supplied for you. We would finish off our evenings watching the sunset and playing cards and board games outside on one of their beautiful porches. I can't say enough good things about this place! I HIGHLY recommend staying here.

Amazing house in an amazing park.
All those 5 star reviews were all so true! The house is three levels with decks with terrific views on each level. You can tell our host, Donald, wants to make sure you have a wonderful stay in his house. We were greeted by a welcome gift and a very warm letter. The kitchen is so well stocked (frosty beer mugs in the freezer!) from utensils to great coffees and teas. The beds and linens are all so comfortable. Great showers that include a steam shower. Plus, Donald is there as a resource to insure that your trip is everything you want it to be. If you are looking in Yosemite, stop looking and just rent this house!
