Yosemite Hilltop Cabins, Lupin Cabin,15 min to the Valley floor, Wifi

Perfect location in the park.

Excellent location just outside the Valley, so many options to visit and see Yosemite - Cabin was exactly as described, clean, cozy and comfortable (amazingly comfortable bed and couch after hiking days). Peaceful location - owners were very responsive and helpful. Would love to come back again.

Awesome, peaceful, restful location to have the vacation of a lifetime at Yosemite! Hope to return one day! Thank you for an amazing trip!

The kitchen was fine.

The room was clean and as described, was a short drivd from the valley as listed. Would definitely stay again?

Lovely cabin in a VERY quiet place near the park.

Great location and comfortable lodging!

Lovely little cabin, perfect for our family of four. Semi-secluded, very quiet area. Nice and close to the valley floor. Steve was very responsive. We greatly enjoyed our stay, and would stay again!

Beautiful cabin conveniently located in the park with extremely friendly host and great amenities.

Yes, the kitchen and everything was ideal for us. Also the fact that it is not too far from Yosemite.

Excellent location

Very nice cabin in perfect location for Half Dome, El Capitan, Sentinel Dome, Yosemite Valley, several waterfalls, hiking, you name it . Perfect size for a couple. Couple things would make it better: Suggest internet that you can use for streaming video on those days weather does not permit outings, a larger TV and a basic satellite TV subscription. Thanks!

The cabin was perfect for our stay; while other cabins are near there was a sense of privacy and seclusion that we were looking for. A nice way to really disconnect. The best part is the location. Yosemite is a big park and depending on where you want to go, it maybe a long drive. However, being so close to the valley really helps with being able to explore the highlights of the park with minimal drive time. Steve was a wonderful host. Extremely communicative and filled with helpful Yosemite knowledge. It’s clear he really cares about his cabins and ensuring you will want to come back. 10/10!

The cabin is nice and has everything you need, nice and close to the valley but tucked away In a nice quiet dark secluded area of the forest.. We will be back again as this is our second year staying here on our monthly yearly trip to the Sierras. Steve the owner is great and answers any questions fast. Thanks again Chuck and Silvia de la cruz Ramona Ca.

Beautiful stay! Close to Yosemite and all the main spots to visit!

The cabin is clean, comfortable, well appointed and perfectly located. We had a wonderful stay, cooked all our meals on-site, slept well in the comfy bed. Our host was amazing, spending several hours at the cabin while we were out for the day, eliminating a yellowjacket issue. Only 20 minutes from the valley, but we headed up to Hetch Hetchy one day and to Tuolumne Meadows another day. It is so peaceful at the cabin after a hectic day in the Park. Highly recommend the Lupin cabin and would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time at this clean, quiet, well-appointed cabin just minutes from Yosemite Valley! It was wonderful being so close to all the sights and enjoying the stars at night. The bed was very comfortable, the Weber grill was outstanding, and the automatic ice maker was much appreciated! Communication with the host was great. We would absolutely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Yosemite. Thanks for a great stay!

Remote quiet place. Could use some updating. Tight quarters but you are in Yosemite to be outside. Could not fit more than 3 adults. Basic accommodations but appreciate the big fridge with ice maker and ability to make breakfast in the morning. Smells a little musty including sheets. Convenient to be inside the park. Good communication with Steve.

A great base for day trips into Yosemite. Quite, relaxing and just the right size for our needs.

Great location. Cozy. Had everything we needed.

Cabin is perfect location for exploring Yosemite. Good communication with host.

A beautiful, well-equipped cabin; the perfect base for our family’s stay in Yosemite. A short drive to many of the must-sees in the park. Excellent communication from the owner ahead of our trip - everything was really well explained. The only area for improvement would have been some more pillow cases for the sofa bed (there was only one). Everything else was perfect and my husband and kids all said how comfortable the beds were!

The Lupin Hilltop Cabin is in Foresta, CA which is a small community located within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park. Only about 6 miles from the busy Yosemite Valley, the cabin is surrounded by quiet forested land and other privately owned cabins. Lupin Cabin is a two-room cabin with a bathroom separating the living/kitchen room and the bedroom. There is one relatively high step up onto the porch but everything else is on one floor except for the alcove with a ladder, which is probably fine for older kids. My husband is mobility challenged with a walker but was able to step up to the porch with assistance. You can park the car very close to the porch as well. The king bed was greatly appreciated and was very comfortable. We brought our own shower chair and that worked for getting in and out of the tub/shower. We ate most meals on the porch and enjoyed watching the birds and other wildlife. During our week’s stay we saw deer, jackrabbits, and even a bobcat. There is no dishwasher and no washer and dryer, but the location is wonderful. The other Hilltop cabin is directly behind the Lupin cabin. The owner was very welcoming and responded immediately when we had a small problem with the ceiling fans. The cabin was very clean and was stocked with books about Yosemite including nature guides and bird guides. The wifi was usually pretty good for checking emails and even for some zoom meetings. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and can’t wait to return.

We enjoyed being away from the Valley tourists with this peaceful cabin. The park is so big so it was nice to stay somewhere within the park. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

This was our first trip to Yosemite and only staying 3 days so ideally wanted somewhere inside the gates to save time and avoid queues. Most accommodation in the valley was out of budget or already booked up, so this place was perfect! It was clean and had everything we needed. In a very quiet neighbourhood away from tourist areas and yet only a 25min drive to the valley which is great!

Super cozy cabin. Kitchen had everything we needed. The couch and bed were both super comfortable. It was easy to find and easy to check in. It was conveniently located to the valley and also to tioga pass. The WiFi was pretty good and we enjoyed the dvd’s. The host was really helpful and communicative. The only minor things were some bugs/dead spiders. However I’d absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Yosemite.

Cabin was very musty. Saw bugs in the bedroom. Views in photographs on vrbo website are not representative of the views from the cabin.

Great stay - perfect to come back to after a day of hiking.Great kitchen facilities and bbq remote - peaceful and relaxing location

This is our second time at the cabin. It's very clean and peaceful. The perfect stay for couples.

Beautiful location, close to the park, peaceful, clean, nice kitchen, everything needed was there. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

A great place to stay while visiting Yosemite. We are happy about having a full kitchen with utensiles, and nice dishware. My only suggestions is to upgrade the bedding and towels.

Perfect accommodations and conveniently located near Yosemite Valley. We ended up staying at Hilltop Cabins because our reservation at the Wawona Hotel was abruptly canceled for renovations. This was a blessing in disguise as the hotel was inconveniently located on south entrance road which would have required excessive driving to get to Yosemite Valley attractions. Hilltop cabins was a short scenic drive to the valley which was pleasurable not stressful. The cabin itself

The cottage was extremely comfortable and had everything needed to enjoy our stay at Yosemite.

Location was excellent! Quiet and lovely little neighborhood. Clean and tidy, just what we needed. Would happily stay again.

Title says it all“Every thing you want from a trip to Yosemite”Inside the national park 20-30 minutes to the valley.

We just spent three days at the Lupin cabin and it was as advertised: cozy, comfortable, clean, well stocked with everything working. Nice hikes right outside the door and of course Yosemite Valley 10 minutes away. Great communication with owner. Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about this beautiful, relaxing oasis in the middle of Yosemite Park. It's away from the more popular attractions yet still close enough. The host was kind enough to allow us an additional night in the cabin during our stay as we wanted to spend another day in the park. We will definitely be staying here again on our next Yosemite trip. Don't hesitate to book this cabin!!!

Convenient location near Yosemite. Cool cabin for small group. November Autumn colors in Yosemite were Awesome, combined with winter snow hikes!

Excellent access to hiking and cozy cabin much better than the lodge

We had a great stay at the Lupin Cabin. The property was exactly as described in the listing. Kitchen was adequately stocked for us to prepare meals. WiFi worked great. The electric heater kept the temperature comfortable. The location was exceptional. So great to have a quick drive down the hill to get to Yosemite Valley. Glad we arrived before dark our first day. We really enjoyed the family of deer we saw everyday as we were heading out and returning. Would stay here again without question and highly recommend.

We had a lovely experience and and loved the place, location, comfort and hospitality!

The cabin is about a 20-30 minute drive from the Yosemite village center. The cabin is situated in a very secluded area of the park. it is a Lovely location. The cabin itself is quite small but perfect for 2 people. The furnishings need more care as they all appeared to be worn out a bit and could use some cleaning (sofa). The bathroom had fresh towels but the tub needed a cleaning. The dvd player in the living room was not functioning when we arrived. We contacted the owner who was extremely accommodating and very nice and apologetic about the bathroom and dvd player. We did manage to make the DVD player work. Overall, it's an ok place to stay for a short visit but needs some freshening up.

Comfortable space for the 2 of us. I saw 2 deer next to the bedroom window early 1st morning. We also saw other deer and a bobcat. Great location to visit Yosemite Valley and then get away from all the busyness. The grill could use a cleaning. Everything we needed for meal prep was here and with other thoughtful touches made for an enjoyable stay.

The cabin was great. Great location for getting to park attractions. Very comfortable, well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed our stay very much.

This is a lovely secluded spot and we loved the setting. the outdoor patio was super to just sit with coffee in the morning. The kitchen has a wonderful full sized refrigerator and lots of cooking supplies and everything was well organized! We three sisters enjoyed being together in such a peaceful place and one day we just walked around the property and enjoyed the native plants and one night we ventured out and saw the milky way and lots of stars. This was my second time here and I will definitely try for another stay!

We enjoyed staying at this cabin. It was just the right size for 2 people. The location was perfect to explore Tioga Rd and Yosemite Valley.

We stayed here for four nights on our honeymoon and had an excellent time! The location inside the park is wonderful, the cabin is peaceful, and the bed is so comfortable after a long day of hiking. We enjoyed the DVD collection and watched several movies after dark. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

We fell in love with our cabin (the Lupkin), it had every convenience to feel like home. It was so cozy and peaceful. Some thoughtful touches were, the coffee grinder, an extra propane tank, shampoo, conditioner and body wash and the cute patio area with table and chairs that we used daily. OH and the stars from the lofted bedroom window...amazing! Steve was extremely responsive to emails and the check in & out was to the point, no frills and seamless. You wont get a lot of mind boggling tasks to do before checking out or enjoying this cabin.

This was our first stay in Foresta and we'd definitely stay here again. It's well situated for the Yosemite Valley floor as well as all the trailheads on the Tioga Road and also for Hetch Hetchey. The cabin is in a quiet wooded area and is very peaceful. It's well equipped and comfortable and we'd stay here again

We had a great time at the Lupin Cabin. It may not be right in the middle at Yosemite village, but it was only a short and picturesque 20 min drive down the hill. On most days we drove down into the valley, hiked the morning, drove back for a break around lunchtime, and the back again for a shorter hike, and to catch the amazing late afternoon light on the mountains. The cabin was perfect and had everything we needed. Our 13 yo daughter stayed upstairs. Foresta itself was lovely and quiet with the scent from the trees everywhere. It was a great escape from the rest of the tourists in the valley. Finally, Steve our host was perfect. Easy to contact, and always responded promptly. Thanks so much Steve, your cabin just made the Yosemite experience for us perfect!

Well thought amenities. Super responsive and helpful host. Comfortable cabin. So glad to have a king bed. Very homey. Had everything we needed.

This was the perfect spot to stay when visiting Yosemite. A little off the beaten path but written directions were easy to follow. Clean and comfortable accommodations and much easier getting to the valley floor in the morning

The cabin was comfortable and roomy for 3 people. My son slept on the sofabed without complaints. It was very convenient to stay in the park. The surroundings were lovely and comfortable, we never saw another person during our stay. We highly recommend this cabin for park visitors.

Highly recommend this property! Cools easily on a hot summer day, such a great disconnect yet some of the best Verizon cell service in the park. You won’t be disappointed

We really enjoyed this property and the way it is handled. Everything was cionsidered, all support given. Great location.

My husband & I chose this rental based on its location & amenities. We loved the location INSIDE the park. No car lines for us! The quiet residential area allowed us to retire early so we could get up at 3:30am and complete our hikes before the unusually hot temperatures could impact us. Returning to the cabin cooled by a swamp cooler made sleeping comfortable. The bed & pillows were super comfy. The well-equipped kitchen allowed us to make all our meals in the cabin. We would eat our evening meals on the front deck with lizards, squirrels, and a variety of birds including a covey of quail entertaining us. Our drive to/from the residential area afforded encounters with a herd of 5 young bucks as well as 2 does. The cabin was well-maintained, well stocked and very clean. The owners kept in contact with us and we even got to meet Kathy in person.

Exactly as pictured in a peaceful environment & provided a needed escape from the populated valley to unwind at the end of a long day of hiking. Appreciated the CLEANLINESS & attention to detail. BBQ grill & well stocked kitchen were assets to cook our own meals. Cooling unit put out cold air & kept the cabin quite comfortable. The bed & pillows were quite comfortable. Sofa was huge & perfect for those midday naps. Plenty of storage for clothes & closet for suitcases. Appreciate the full length mirror in the bedroom. Great water pressure & temperature for a shower. Detailed instructions of how to work everything was handy. Our visit (Summer of July 2024) required a park reservation; however, since we had this reservation all we did was provide VRBO booking at the entry gate & we were good to go-no stress of getting a new reservation every 3 days! Steve was very sweet & informative about the area-be sure to make it out to Tenaya Lake on Tioga Road for a beach picnic. So beautiful! The road leading to the cabin is the original road of the park-so much history in the neighborhood so be sure to check out the barn, firehouse & signage around leading to the cabin. WiFi was not premium fast but enough to keep us connected to family. The cabin is a true gem & appreciate Steve’s hospitality & attentiveness. Even saw wildlife every morning: one morning a pregnant doe & two days later the same doe with her fawn! Could not have enjoyed our stay more! Thank you Steve!

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin was clean and comfortable. It was perfect to come home after a day of hiking and exploring. Kitchen was well stocked. We were there during a heat wave but the AC worked well and was comfortable. Steve was extremely responsive. The whole stay was perfect!
