About this property

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.

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.
