About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Craftsman Cottage

In addition to the gorgeous appeal, this home was designed to make your stay as comfortable as possible including convenient parking and access. The home is a rare single-story property that can accommodate guests of all ages. There are about 10 steps from the parking area, leading down to the entrance. Both restrooms offer double sinks and separate toilet and shower areas. There is satellite base wifi and air conditioning as well. The master suite features a king-size bed, while the middle bedroom has two sets of twin-over-twin bunk beds, as well as a High Definition TV in case the children would like to have their own space to play video games or watch a movie. Satellite WiFi is available for free but is not fast enough for streaming and video calling. The front bedroom has a queen bed decorated with vintage decor, while the living room features a vaulted cottage-style plank ceiling, river rock fireplace, and a 60" 4K TV, complete with Blu-Ray player and satellite cable. The distressed dining table allows comfortable seating for 8 people. The fully stocked kitchen boasts a stylish farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and beadboard cabinets. Additionally, there is a dining table on the rear deck if you prefer to dine al fresco or simply wish to enjoy the mountain air and forest view. There is a gas BBQ if you would like to grill. The covered front porch features two very comfortable rocking chairs, perfect for sipping your morning coffee or tea.

This property is located INSIDE the gates of Yosemite National Park and is centrally located to many of the popular destinations including Yosemite Valley (20 minutes), Badger Pass Ski Area (15 minutes), and Wawona (20 minutes). For larger groups (up to 20 people), consider renting this home in conjunction with The River Rock Retreat, which is just a stone's throw away.

This cabin has 2 parking spots during the fall, winter, and spring months. During summer there are 3 parking spots.

The Craftsman Cottage is a very special home and will make your Yosemite experience the vacation of a lifetime.

Air Conditioning for energy conservation does not cool to below 72º.

Pristine home!
We had a fabulous trip to Yosemite and this home was perfection. It was extremely clean which was a wonderful contrast to the dusty trails we saw all day! We would have loved to stay longer if our schedule would have allowed. 11/10!

Amazing Property/Great Location
We spent three days at the property and it was perfect for our trip. Close to the valley floor and easy to get back to. The house was wonderful and perfect for our family and friends.

Cute & Cozy
We loved our stay here! It’s so homey and comfortable! We had a party of 6 adults and there was plenty of room. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Don’t forget your own shampoo and conditioner. I would also bring some extra kitchen towels, just in case. Other than that all the amenities were there. The WiFi didn’t work for us and there was very spotty cell service, so be prepared. Made for a nice tech free weekend! Will be back for sure!

Very comfortable cottage
Property is in great condition and was perfect for our family. Everything worked great and the house was spotless. My advice is to bring the food you are going to need because there are not grocery or restaurant options nearby.

Lovely home conveniently located to Yosemite’s major attractions
We were overall very pleased with this home and had a very good experience dealing with the management group. The house is Very clean and very nicely decorated. The kitchen is very well stocked to accommodate most any family meal. A comfortable retreat that serves as a great home base after long days exploring Yosemite’s sites and attractions. The neighborhood is a great location for accessing the Valley and Southern ends of the park. The other reviews regarding the WiFi reliability and speed are accurate. However, Only a minor inconvenience because cell service isn’t available. Also noted that no AC meant the house was fairly hot during the day (July) and took a while to cool down in the evening, but certainly not unbearable. A couple more fans In the house would have helped.

Wonderful stay - and the WiFi works fine!
This property is just as nice as depicted in the photos. A great balance between stylish, casual and comfortable. Great location inside the boundaries of the park. The place was very clean and everything inside is in excellent condition. The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils and other stuff you could want - including a griddle for pancakes. And as mentioned in the title, the WiFi worked fine for us even though we didn’t expect that based on the comments from others. We would not change a thing.

Excellent stay, with one exception
Super clean, well layed out, great location. Description of amenities were spot on with the exception of the Wi-Fi. Very minimal to no service in the house. Limited to 500 MB per day. Very frustrating when trying to comfirm travel plans and locations of daily activities. Also, beware that the air condition did not exist. The house was very hot upon arrival.

We loved the house. Very clean and cute. We would have loved some board games and recycling, otherwise it had everything we needed. Oh yea....the WiFi did not work so we didn’t know we would wake up to snow.....especially since cellular service didn’t work as well.
