About this property

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

Thank you for selecting Yosemite Hilltop Cabins for your get-away! You will receive a pre-check-in email regarding your stay, if you can fill that out it would be much appreciated. As some details are required, other questions simply help with the housekeeping schedule.

Important - Yosemite National Park announced a Temporary Vehicle Reservation system that will be in effect for the following dates:
February 10-11, 17-19, 24-25
April 13 to June 30: On weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and holidays from 5am to 4pm
July 1 to August 16: Seven days a week from 5am. to 4pm.
August 17 to October 27: On weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and on Monday holidays from 5am to 4pm
YOU WILL NOT need to obtain a Temporary Vehicle Reservation if you are staying in one of our cabins. Our cabins are inside the gates of Yosemite National Park. You will be allowed to stay in Yosemite for the length of your reservation. You will still need to pay the $35 park entrance fee (credit card only) when you arrive unless you have a park pass.

Yosemite Hilltop Cabins are located within the gates of Yosemite National Park in the tiny community of Foresta. It is hard to believe that such a quiet and peaceful place like this exists just fifteen minutes from the sometimes bustling Yosemite Valley.

NOTE – This listing is for the Lupin Cabin. The listing and availability calendar for the Sage Cabin is also on VRBO/HomeAway under property number 815550. Both cabins are on the same property, have the same floor plan, and are furnished almost identically.

Our cabins are very private. Even though the Sage and Lupin Cabins are located next to each other they are oriented to maintain maximum privacy. Each cabin has 17-foot-tall wood beam ceilings with ceiling fans and lots of windows to take advantage of the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

Each cabin has a master bedroom with a comfy king-size bed and down comforter. There is also a foldout sofa bed that is the size of a full mattress.
The cabin has a full bath, full kitchen, and reading loft. Each cabin also has its own patio with a high quality Weber gas barbecue

When you arrive at your cabin there will be fresh linens on the bed and clean towels in the bathroom. There will be brand-name shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom. You will only need to bring food, clothes, and personal toiletry items.

Fantastic hiking and running trails with wildflowers, waterfalls, and wildlife can be accessed right from the cabins.

Unfortunately no pets or dogs are allowed. Yosemite is not very dog friendly. You won't be able to take your dog with you on hikes.

Each cabin has a TV/DVD player. The TV has no programming, DVD only. There is a small DVD library to pick from or you can bring your own movies.
The kitchen has all the cookware and dinnerware that you will need to prepare and serve meals. The kitchen also has a microwave oven, toaster, blender, coffee grinder, and coffee maker.
The cabins are heated in the winter by propane heaters that look like wood-burning stoves. Both cabins have evaporative coolers that work great to keep the cabins cool during the summer..
Some cell phones work at the cabins. Verizon is the best. Each cabin has a land-line telephone for use during your stay.
There is satellite internet provided by HughesNet. There is a cap on the amount of bandwidth that is available. PLEASE DO NOT STREAM MOVIES OR WATCH VIDEOS AS IT WILL IMPACT GUESTS THAT ARRIVE AFTER YOU.

Current Yosemite road and weather conditions can be found by calling Yosemite National Park at 209-372-0200. Current road conditions in the State of California can be found by calling Caltrans at 800-427-7623.

Cozy in Yosemite
Wonderful place to relax after a fun day in Yosemite. It is about a half our from Bridal Veil. We went skiing, hiking, and even saw the fire fall. It is clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. We highly recommend and plan to return.

Peaceful cabin stay
We enjoyed celebrating our wedding anniversary in Yosemite NP. This was the perfect little cabin so close to the valley but away from the crowds. It’s a darling cabin in a quiet wooded area. We loved that there were a couple trails nearby too. The cabin was comfortable and cozy. The host communicated quickly and clearly.

White winter wonderland
Great location tucked away in Yosemite NP. Lupin is clean, cute and cozy and just minutes from the valley floor making it easy to see all of the landmarks. Our son loved the loft. Great spot to get away and relax. We'll be back.
