Our warm and inviting home is located inside the park gates equidistant from the celebrated features of Yosemite: the namesake Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point, the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias and 800 miles of hiking trails. Over and over guests tell us that when they come back at the end of the day, they feel like they are coming home. Alpine Escape is a 760 square foot (70 square meter), one-bedroom apartment. You will enjoy a fully-equipped kitchen with full-size, quality appliances, granite countertops and a full complement of cooking equipment (pots, pans, coffee maker, blender, and so on). Knotty alder cabinets in the kitchen, bath and bedroom and knotty alder doors and trim throughout give a warm feel to the home. We live upstairs in our own apartment while you have the ground floor with a completely separate entrance. For your comfort, we have central heat (propane) and a gas fireplace to keep you warm in winter and air conditioning (Fujitsu mini-split) to keep you cool on hot days. The living/dining area has a table for four, a large sofa and a 47" flat-screen television for watching movies from our DVD collection or streaming on Roku, Netflix or Paramount Plus. The bedroom features a queen bed with a built-in knotty alder closet. An alcove off the living room provides bedding for up to two additional guests on a daybed and pullout trundle with memory foam mattresses. The trundle is at floor level, so it is great for younger kids, but perhaps not so great for older adults! Alpine Escape is the perfect size for a couple or a family with one or two children. It can work for four adults if the bedding is acceptable, but we don't recommend it for two couples traveling together. Outside you have a small, covered patio and a sitting area with a pergola and a sunshade where guests often enjoy breakfast or an afternoon glass of wine. We are near the end of a quiet street, the perfect starting point for an evening stroll. Some winter mornings, we've woken to the laughter of young kids happily sledding down the road in front of our house (and observant parents keeping their eyes open for the occasional vehicle). There are places nearby to go for walks with excellent birding and wildflowers, including what may be the best display of Evening Primroses in the entire park right in our front yard (in the early 1900s the Evening Primroses were a major attraction in Yosemite Valley and the subject of some of the first hand-tinted color photos ever taken, but there are now only a handful scattered around the Valley). There are some good, flat and steep running and walking trails at the top of the neighborhood, about a five-minute drive away. But of course, you are coming to Yosemite for the soaring granite cliffs, massive sequoia trees and tremendous views. Yosemite West is located inside the park entrance, and sits near an intersection of the roads leading to the park's most famous features: Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. These popular park destinations are all within 15-18 miles (30-35 minutes) from Yosemite West in three different directions. The Badger Pass ski area is only seven miles away providing access to Yosemite's winter wonders, including XC ski and snowshoe trails, as well as lift-served skiing and snowboarding. If you're looking to eat out, the restaurants of Yosemite Valley are about 30 minutes away, while the Wawona Hotel, which welcomed Theodore Roosevelt on his 1903 trip to Yosemite, is about 30 minutes in the opposite direction. We also pride ourselves on our depth of knowledge of the park and our willingness to share that knowledge. Since 1985, we have been coming to the park for the world-class rock climbing and have been living here full time since April 2003. We're hikers, climbers, backcountry skiers and wildflower enthusiasts and general naturalists. In past years, we have worked as Assistant Manager of the Yosemite Mountaineering School running the hiking program (Theresa), a park ranger (Tom), ski instructors (both). Through those experiences, and through helping our guests over the years, we have wealth of information that we are willing to share to help you make the most of your time in Yosemite whether it's a couple of days or a couple of weeks! Note also: we have a security camera that overlooks the front yard and the road. This helps us see that guests have arrived safely. When we are gone, it also lets us know when guests have left so we can let the cleaner know people have left and he doesn't have to keep swinging by to see if he can clean yet. And finally the public works plowing supervisor uses the camera to see if he needs to send a plow crew. Only authenticated users have access (that is, this is not a public webcam). ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Step to reach entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property - Note from host: No smoking or vaping ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Things to do - Snow sports gear - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Recycling - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Solar energy - Unit size: 820 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89540000/89534100/89534079/aa45cde6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### King Suite for Active Couples Inside Yosemite Gate, Your Basecamp for Adventure!

The location is perfect, about 25min from the valley and also close to Glacier Point and other popular hikes. Having a full kitchen and grill made cooking meals easy. The listing was 100% accurate, the property was clean, and exactly as described cant ask for more than that. Finally, Tom was great, offering tips on what to see on our visit and also amazing directions on how to locate the home.

Our hosts, Tom and Theresa, were a great resource for park tips and information and we followed some of Tom's great suggestions for additional things to do in the park besides our planned ones. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to do them all! This property was perfect for us as first time visitors Yosemite due to the property itself, the location and our hosts. I absolutely recommend this property if you are planning a visit to Yosemite National Park. ##### Kathy A.

This house has more than you could ever expect! During our stay, there was a power outage for at least 5 hours, and our house was the only one on the street with lights on, thanks to its batteries. It made a huge difference! Tom was incredibly attentive and cordial, providing us with all the necessary information. The house is perfect for up to 4 people and is located within Yosemite, although it is about 30 minutes from Yosemite Valley where you can find groceries. So, come prepared. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Alpine Escape Yosemite to anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable place to stay. ##### Leonardo R.

Tom was a great resource and helped us tweak our hiking/sight-seeing plans; the beds were comfortable and the area was very quiet; all of the amenities were high quality and in great condition; the house was in close proximity to Glacier Point, Mariposa Grove and the Valley... (Renters should be aware that Tom and Theresa live above. You can hear a minimal amount of sound -- ex. light footsteps -- but this was never a bother and greatly outweighed by the friendly chats with Tom and Theresa). ##### Andy B.
