Inside Yosemite Park- Yosemite Winter Wonderland

Location cannot be beat, so all points for that. The home itself is very very clean with enough beds, linens, bathrooms, towels for everyone as well as a well appointed kitchen. Would have been good to know that the body washes and other bath stuff would not be available in advance since there is really nothing close by to get this. Some communication glitch ahead of time. The dryer did not work during our stay which was very inconvenient and we could not get in touch with the on site staff for that and anything else. For our group, this really did cause a hassle during our stay but probably not a universal situation! Also LOL, the bathroom doors don’t lock well, so we had a sock on the door thing going on.. The home was very well ventilated, fans in each room as well as a ventilation fan in the stairs. So all good for the summer heat. Would definitely recommend a stay here…

The home was excellent. The host was super responsive !

At 3:00 AM on the morning of our arrival. Host ends an e-mail canceling the reservation!!!!

Yosemite Valley—it let us sleep in more for our morning hikes AND we didn’t have to wait in line to get in the entrance since this place is inside the park. This is definitely the highlight of this stay, as well as the pool table we enjoyed using. The place itself was nice enough, however seemed a little dirty (the floors and showers) and could definitely be maintained better. The listing makes it seem like the entire house is yours, but in reality there are two other properties connected to it. We had 12 people in our group—this place was not ready to support that many people; there were 12 bath towels (one per person, no extras) and a few wash cloths and there were less than 12 forks in the kitchen so we needed to use spoons or wait and wash a used one. The pull out couches are NOT good for sleeping—they are either broken or the mattress was very, very thin—so people in our party had to sleep on the couches, which was obviously not comfortable. This place should be advertised for 8 max, especially since parking was not clarified and we found out two vehicles were allotted to our cabin (which seems a bit unreasonable when 12 people are staying here). We had a mishap with the fridge in the beginning—when we arrived it wasn’t cooling well and we woke up the next day to some of our food warm—however the host was responsive and quick to send someone out to fix it. Overall, if you have a smaller group (again, 8 or less!) and don’t mind a little outdated place, it is nice and cozy

Property was spacious and in a beautiful and pretty convenient location. Lots of nice features, however the decking and railings outside were not stable. This was a concern for my elderly parents. Also, the toilet in the 1st floor back room did not have a strong flush and clogged easily. The roof and gutters were full of leaves and overflowing and the deck needed to be swept. If these items were addressed, it would be a 5 star place in my book!

This is our second time in Yosemite West and this house did not disappoint. There are three bedrooms with king beds, in one of those rooms there is also a twin bed plus a twin trundle bed underneath it, and there are four queen size pull out couches in the living room/game room. The kitchen had all of the cooking dishes and utencils needed and the location can’t be beat!

The place is just few minutes away from tunnel view point. The place is huge and offers enough space for a group of 9.

I first stayed in the Wonderland Home in 1995 and 1996. It was new, clean and spectacular. Our large friend group rented the entire facility. Nearly 30 years later the place is showing its age. Some remodeling has left it with some oddities, the decor is dated and nonsensical (pictures hung in odd spots, etc), furniture placed in strange locations, shelves and cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms are grimy or falling apart, and the place has the overall feel of being managed by absent owners. The network and Wi-Fi password information provided was incorrect. We needed to hunt down the router to get the correct information. The confirmation email said to send an email in order to get the welcome packet. I did so and was told that the welcome packet would be emailed to me a week prior to our check-in. That email didn’t arrive until two days prior to our check-in. I paid a significant cleaning fee to VRBO and yet found an envelope from the cleaners asking for a tip. What? On the plus side, the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc. And of course Yosemite West is a beautiful neighborhood and a very quick drive to the valley. But after maintaining memories of this beautiful home for 30 years, it was very sad to see that the interior has been roughly used and not lovingly maintained by the owners or the management.

Overall very spacious cabin to accommodate a big number. Fun board games and pool table to entertain but wifi connection is not strong at all. However, the proximity to Yosemite valley tops it off

The cabin was a great experience for our extended family visiting Yosemite. Close enough that driving into the Valley did not take too long and large enough to accomodate the number of people staying there. Everything was well maintained and there were enough cooling solutions to keep everyone comfortable even in the middle of July. Would book again.

This is not a house, but one of several condos. It was a bit sketchy on the outside, and I was worried as we walked up the stairs, but once inside I was pleased. It was dated but clean enough. The location was fantastic and the space was perfect for our group of 8. We loved the three king beds and our teens did not mind sleeping on the couch. They also enjoyed the pool table. I would suggest bringing your own washcloths as there was only one per person and also bring tools with you. The lock on the bathroom door in the master bedroom on the lower level is in need of repair. My mom got locked in twice. If there is an emergency or if you need something, don't bother calling the numbers given. They do not answer. You are on your own. Also be aware of the number of stairs that must be climbed to get to the property. The left side of the house in the picture is not part of the rental. We had to climb several flights of stairs to enter the property, which was not good for our elderly parents.
