Cabin, Multiple Beds, Patio, Mountain View (Timber Lodge Yosemite) | Private kitchen | Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop

"Yosemite West is an amazing, unique area to stay in the park. This property was perfect- there were four adults in our group and we all had space. With two patios, the sunsets are amazing to watch. Very clean and comfortable. "

Studio, 1 Queen Bed with Sofa bed, Patio, Mountain View (Cozy Corner) | Property grounds

"It is on the west side of Yosemite way up in the mountains. The location is closer to Glacier point and far from curry village. The road sign to the property is not easy to find. The room has a pleasant tree views and enough amenities. Suggesting put an anti slip mat in the shower. "

Cabin, Multiple Beds, Patio, Mountain View (The Log Home) | Interior

"Property details said there was AC in the home. The house did not have an AC unit. Rented the house only because it said it had AC. Called property management they did not respond."

"This property was listed as a 3 bdrm 4 bath with a/c when I rented. When that was not the case, the company was not accommodating at all. The temp in the house was in the 80s and they promised fans but that took two days to get. There were bugs and cobwebs, nails sticking out of porch and non existent WiFi. Management only cares about money and not customers or condition of unit. They have since changed their listing but refusing to compensate us even though we left as soon as we could find...

Although the listing shows stairs down to the lower unit and a flight up to the upper, it...

"Perfect for the two of us. So nice to have an entrance right next to parking. Instructions for cabin were adequate. Everything was in good working order."

Cabin | Private kitchen | Full-sized fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop

2 restaurants, breakfast, lunch, dinner served; local cuisine

"Not a lot of options here, but the Majestic is grossly overpriced so the Lodge is your only option for a traditional hotel experience. Staff is hit or miss - some were great, some were very disinterested. Restaurant was decent but again, great busboy, lousy waitress. Rooms are comfortable but nothing special. Location is excellent for access to Valley activities."
