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.

Great location in Yosemite!

This was a great cabin. Very close to Yosemite Valley, very clean and comfortable and roomy. The kitchen was nice. The owner always answered me very quickly. It was so quiet and peaceful in the wooded area. I would recommend anyone going to Yosemite to stay here! It was such a pleasant experience.

Super Comfortable Cabin

Great place for 2! Well-stocked, clean kitchen. Comfortable and spacious (very remote) environment. 10 min to Yosemite Valley is a STRETCH however - plan on 30-35. Multiple drives back and forth beautiful though. Check-in process a bit bumpy with poor cell reception to reach owner/Wi-Fi login unclear. Owner was very responsive however.

You can’t beat the proximity to Yosemite!

This place really does check off everything you need. The kitchen was stocked with salt, pepper, olive oil, and a few other things that made cooking easy. As well as all the coffee you needed. It was a bit dark and stuffy. But the owners worked with us to fix the fans. They could actually use an updated floor fan. That one’s on its last leg.Again, I think it’s a fine place, some of the rugs could probably use replacing and the bed could be updated. But beds are so weird some people like soft some people like them hard. This is very hard. But I did sleep OK on it.I really do think just a few updates would make this place a five instead of a four star. Mainly either get new rugs or get rid of the rugs completely.

A week in nature

We enjoyed this rustic cabin so much It was conveniently located within the park. It provided the relaxed natural experience we were looking for. The house was well stocked and the A/C was a plus with the warm sunny days we had. I highly recommend this place

Great being inside the park.

It was great being inside the park and near the valley. Initially, the location was challenging to find, but the rustic cabin was nice. My only issues were the cleanliness of the property and that only one small a/c unit was available in the living area, which made the bedroom very warm.

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!

Scenic and quiet location at Yosemite

We liked being located in a scenic and quiet location far away from the large crowds surrounding Yosemite Village. However, it does take 20 minutes driving time from the cabin to get to Yosemite Village and some major attractions of the park. The kitchen of the cabin has been updated where it is brightly lit and well equipped for making meals throughout your stay. The only convenience it doesn't have is a dishwasher.We appreciated being provided ample supplies of toilet tissue, paper towels, dish detergent, and hand soap for our week long stay so we didn't have to replenish anything. The bathroom was ample in size and had a good shower that offered ample warm water. The owner provided ample cabinet space for renters to put their items in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. The screened in porch was a nice and relaxing place to have dinner and also be protected from the mosquitoes.There is a rental home and private home located on both sides of the cabin, but we weren't bothered by the activity or noise level at either location. We really enjoyed the peaceful and pleasant experience we had renting this cabin and can recommend staying here if your prefer being located away from the large crowds.
