We really enjoyed our stay here! Yosemite West is about 15 minutes from the Tunnel which leads to the most awesome view of Yosemite Valley & Bridal Veil Falls, and it was fun to hike the granite boulders just before the tunnel for awesome views of another waterfall whose name escapes me. Bridal Veil Falls is on the way to Yosemite Valley from there, and it's a quick stop and walk to the misty falls alongside a beautiful creek. This is a shady place for a snack or lunch, and just minutes away you find yourself driving alongside the beautiful Merced River and in front of El Capitan. The elevation of the home is higher than the valley floor, so be prepared for snow in winter and spring, and carry chains. The home is equipped for sleeping with 2 bedrooms downstairs, both with queen beds plus a sofa sleeper in the living room and a full bath downstairs. The wood burning stove HEATS the house, almost too much! Upstairs there is another bathroom and bedroom with both queen and double beds, good sized room. There is a loft that is big enough for sleeping bags for 4 kids if need be.
The down side: There is nowhere to sit. There are plenty of places to sleep for everyone, but in the evening after long hikes and a warm dinner, there is one sofa and one chair. People cannot hang out together because they either have to sit on the floor or in hard wooden dining chairs. SUGGESTION: Put the sofa sleeper in the loft and get a sectional that will accommodate more people. Bring the loft chairs downstairs as well. Our only complaint was nowhere to sit in the living space. The cabin is basic, nothing fancy, but it's clean, has towels and washer/dryer, and plenty of stations on dish to veg out after long days of hiking...not to mention the very clean and hot hot tub! We enjoyed our stay very much!
