Great location able to walk behind the house to a ridge when not ready to drive down to the valley. Hot tub was a blast with the cold weather. We loved the house and layout- better than the pictures, which is usually the other way around. Kitchen had everything including coffee filters and trash bags which is great

We rented this house for a hiking trip in Yosemite and it was perfect. The house was in a good location and well-maintained. I had my two sons and grandson with me and we had a great time. I would highly recommend this property.

Our family recently stayed at the Storybook Chalet inside Yosemite National Park, and even though the weather didn’t cooperate with snow, we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The property is truly a gem, combining comfort, charm, and an unbeatable location right inside Yosemite!The Chalet is beautifully designed and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The cozy wood stove and plush bedding made every night feel like a retreat, and the kids absolutely loved the pool table. We also took full advantage of the sauna and spa—such a treat after a day of exploring (or in our case, cozying up indoors during the rain).We’re already planning our next trip and hoping for some snow next time to fully experience all the area has to offer.Highly recommend it!

The house had all the basics that we needed. We did have an issue with the outdoor grill due to it not being cleaned out in a while, but the owner was quick to respond. Location was definitely a plus!

We had a lovely stay. Very quiet and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils/pans The property manager, Eric, was very attentive and helpful. FYI, the driveway is steep so enter from the uphill side and stay to the left for the first 8-10 feet.

The Storybook Chalet is everything we hoped it would be. The home is very comfortable with enough space for the whole family. The hot tub was a perfect way to end the day. The location is perfect to get to major hike locations with being smack dab in the middle of glacier point and the valley. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We had an AMAZING stay! This place is located 15-30 mins from Tunnel View and Yosemite Village. Very conveniently located within the Park gates so we did Tunnel View and Bridalveil Falls Trailhead, Upper Yosemite Falls to Eagle Peak, Mirror Lake Loop, and Mist Trail to Vernal Falls/Nevada Falls… just amazing! We will come back!

Great location, just a short drive into the valley. Perfect getaway for the family. We cooked together, played pool and games, relaxed in the hot tub/sauna. Had all the needed amenities.

Really like the cabin, feel like we lucked out getting it. Nice sitting outside or in the hot tub star gazing. The cabin was spacious and cozy, with lots of your basics. The only issue was the downstairs bathroom toilet, you definitely have to pull the lever up when you are finished, but I am sure Eric/Jesse will have that fixed before the next guest arrive. Fun times and great experience for my first trip to Yosemite.
