Welcome to Yosemite West!

Imagine being able to enjoy world-famous Yosemite National Park by staying inside the park in your own studio. Privacy, tranquility, beauty are yours right here inside Yosemite. When staying with us - we will take care of Day Use Reservation required to enter the park in the high season.

We are at 6000 feet altitude - cooler in the summer and snowy in the winter. It is closest you can be to Glacier Point and just about ten minutes away from Badger Pass Ski Area which has it all - from getting here to renting equipment to taking lessons. There you'll find groomed trails perfect for cross-country skiers, chairlifts that take Alpine skiers to the top of the runs in minutes, a challenging terrain park for snowboarders and skiers to test their limits, and a tubing area where the whole family can experience the thrills together.

We have several nice walks just around the village, fore example - Henness Ridge Fire Lookout. This lookout was the second built in Yosemite and was still in use in the 1980s. It was designed in the National Park Service Rustic style, and is one of only four similar structures in California, with the Crane Flat Fire Lookout being the only other in Yosemite.

Yosemite West is a small unincorporated community of resort homes located just off Wawona Road, a continuation of State Route 41 from Fresno. You will know right away how quiet and remote it is. We do not have fast food, rely on the car to commute - we go for the groceries into Village Store and for the gas to Wawona.

Rain or shine - we are sure you will find your peace here in the heart of Yosemite!

Do no travel if you are sick, or if someone in your household had had coronavirus in the last two weeks. Do not travel with someone who is sick.
