Set deep inside Yosemite National Park, THE WILDERNEST YOSEMITE sits in a secluded forest enclave—one of only a handful of private residences in the park. With no immediate neighbors, expect quiet, starry nights, and occasional wildlife. Being past the gates turns long drives into spontaneous trail time and long soaks in the hot tub. Food services are limited in the park, so plan provisions (restaurant food to-go or groceries) on your way through Oakhurst. Enjoy the rare calm of nature all around. Respect park guidelines and leave no trace. Guests have exclusive use of the entire cabin and private outdoor spaces, including the hot tub and forest yard. Some storage areas may be locked for housekeeping. The property is reached by an unpaved private access road with on-site parking—AWD/4WD highly recommended.

Exterior-only security cameras (video/audio) are located at the doorbell, front, side, and back of the property. Being located deep in the woods, these cameras are important to ensure the cabin is ready for your arrival (snow accumulation, fallen trees, damage to the cabin due to acts of nature). There is a smoke, occupancy, temperature, and noise decibel monitor in the main living room for your safety. There is absolutely no video or audio recording of any kind indoors. Check In & Out: 4pm Check In (we recommend arrival before sundown for easier wayfinding). 11am Check Out. Wildlife and Insects: It is our utmost priority to keep the home clean and comfortable. We regularly spray the perimeter of the home with organic insecticides, but please keep in mind you are staying in a natural setting where wildlife is part of the experience. Some wildlife may enter the home despite our efforts. Please help us keep them outside by keeping doors and windows closed. General House Rules: 1) No pets. Service animals are welcome with proper documentation in accordance with ADA guidelines. 2) Smoking & Fire Safety: Wildfire risk in Yosemite is extremely high. No smoking of any kind anywhere on the property. Fire extinguishers are in the kitchen and near the BBQ. Never leave the BBQ unattended; turn it off and let it cool completely. No campfires or open flames permitted. 3) No parties or additional guests. Maximum guest count should not exceed 8 persons. 4) Please keep floors, carpets, and couches clean by wiping your shoes at the door, or taking shoes off while inside. We encourage the use of the shoe rack outdoors for hiking boots, wet shoes, etc. 5) Please lock the house each time you leave the property and keep windows and doors closed at all times. If left open, animals, insects, and other critters will enter. 6) Never leave any food or trash outside or in your car, as this will attract bears and other wildlife. 7) Please turn off the heating/cooling unit in each room when you are out exploring the park and at check-out. 8) Please respect our neighbors with quiet hours between 10pm - 8am. 9) Park only in the driveway in the designated parking spaces (3 available). 10) Please do not hide stains or damage done to the property.

The setting is the perfect balance of convenience and seclusion—it’s just off the main road but feels completely private, surrounded by nothing but forest and quiet. Definitely follow Ellie’s detailed directions closely, as they were a lifesaver for finding this hidden gem! The house itself felt like a true home immediately—sparkling clean, beautifully decorated, and featuring a kitchen with everything we needed to cook great meals. After long days of hiking, coming back to soak in the hot tub and collapse into the incredibly comfy beds was the best way to end the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base! ##### Shaun G. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim T. 28 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We honestly didn’t want to leave :( From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had stepped into our own private forest retreat! Surrounded by towering trees and complete quiet, it was one of those rare places that makes you immediately slow down and breathe. It somehow manages to feel deeply peaceful and special while still being incredibly comfortable and thoughtfully designed.Staying inside Yosemite National Park completely changed the experience. No waiting in entrance lines, no stress about parking, no rushing the day. We could head into the Valley early, explore at our own pace, and truly soak in the beauty of the park without feeling overwhelmed! It gave us back so much time and energy, and that alone made the stay priceless.After long, exhausting days of hiking, coming back felt like a reward. The cabin was immaculate, beautifully renovated, and warm in a way that made it feel like home. Cooking in the fully stocked kitchen, sinking into the comfy beds, and ending the night in the hot tub under the stars are memories we’ll never forget. Every detail felt intentional, and it was clear the hosts genuinely care. They were responsive, kind, and made everything effortless.This is easily one of the most special places we’ve ever stayed. Yosemite is incredible on its own, but this home elevated the entire trip. We’re already dreaming about coming back! Thank you Ellie and Drew! ##### Kim T.

Very family friendly and great amenities, and super close some great spots/relatively close to Yosemite village. Can’t wait to stay again soon. ##### Baylie S.
