Oso Lodge

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Experience the atmosphere of a cozy lodge with every modern amenity - just nine miles from the heart of Yosemite Valley!

This recently renovated home is full of wonderful comforts - an EV charging station, a 50-inch TV, a Ping-Pong table, and a state-of-the-art kitchen. Relax outside on the deck overlooking the woods, where you'll find the grill and an outdoor table where you can dine in the fresh alpine air. This is the perfect place for a large group to relax after a fun-filled day on the valley floor.

This property is located on the western boundary of Yosemite National Park, so you can hike directly into the park from the front door. It's situated one mile south of the Chinquapin intersection of Wawona Road and Glacier Point Road, at an altitude of 5,100-6,300 feet. Tunnel View is a 15-minute drive from the house, and there is a hiking trail 30 feet away from the driveway.

This home can be rented together with Oso Lodge Unit B downstairs, which would add one more bedroom, one more bathroom, and another full kitchen

Things to Know
During the winter months (affected months vary upon on the weather), all patio items are stored away. The grill will also not be available during this time.
The WiFi can be spotty due to the mountain location, and guests may experience occasional outages or slower speeds. Guests should not rely on the internet service for streaming services or working from home.
This home is located inside the Yosemite National Park gates, and staying here provides you with access to Yosemite National Park (no additional reservation needed!). However, guests will still need to pay to enter the gates.

1st time to Yosemite
Booked this place for my family - I didn’t know anything about the park. This place is in a quiet area of the park. Trails and village are easily drivable. We loved the place and the location.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Perfect location...but
The house is in a wonderful location.. easy to access main attractions of the park. The bedrooms are not as advertised. There are 2 rooms with double beds and one room with a double and a twin with trundle. We were a family of 6 needing 5 separate beds ..that was advertised. The dishwasher was broken and I have never stayed at any vrbo especially one that was 800 plus a night that used such cheap toilet paper, paper towels, dish towels and bathing towels. Ridiculous. Also the coffee pot is a regular pot and you need to bring ground coffee. Lastly power went out at 8:23 am our last day. This was a scheduled outing evidently with no communication re: outage until 11:14am. Just disappointing.

Beautiful home, location can’t be beat! 30 Minutes from the Valley.
This home is in a beautiful, quiet and secluded neighborhood in Yosemite National Park. When I first looked into this home, no one could tell me whether you have to drive past the gate of the park before you arrive at the house. So I am telling you now — you have to pass the gate! That means you need reservations if you plan on driving through peak hours. The house itself is beautiful and large. Although the space of the house is mainly dedicated to the common areas. The bedrooms themselves are a bit on the smaller side, and the beds as well. If you’re taller than 5’ 4” you will find your feet dangling off the bed. But no matter, we’re not here to sleep, we’re here to explore! I am knocking off a star from the review because there was rat poop in one of the beds. Also a chunk of macaroni and cheese was dried and stuck to the place mats. If you didn’t know, there is a Unit B downstairs and people may rent that out during your stay. There are no rules on parking. The house has a curved driveway in front of it, and one night we came home from the Valley and the Unit B renter had parked right in the middle of the driveway making it very inconvenient for us at the main lodge. I think it would be better if the company would assign parking for Unit B instead of making it a free for all. They also request that quiet hours in the house start at 8pm to respect the people in Unit B. 8pm is pretty early. So just be aware of that. I really enjoyed the deck in the mornings and BBQing at night. The kitchen comes pretty fully loaded with basics you might need. Keyless entry makes coming and going painless as you don’t have to think about carrying keys. But one final word of warning - the WI-FI SUCKS. So if you expect to do work or anything like that while you’re staying at this cabin, think again. Both the 5G and 2G networks were giving me 250KB of data speeds. Really slow. Overall, because of the size of the bedrooms and size of the beds, I think this house is better suited for a family with lots of kids. I wouldn’t recommend it for a bunch of adults, unless you’re short or don’t mind your feet dangling off the bed, LOL.

Great spot to come back to after a long day of hiking!
We had a wonderful adventure in Yosemite and it was a treat having this luxury stay with our own hot showers to come back to after hiking half dome. We used all the vegetable oil, so bring that and some peppercorns. Plenty of games to unwind with. Super lovely space. Oh, for the front door, once you put in the code you have to turn the knob above the keypad to unlock. Then you can get in. You can't go wrong with this relaxing space. Enjoy!

Excellent vacation home Yosemite West
The home is about 1/2 hour drive into Yosemite. It’s well equipped with 7 beds, kitchen is well-stocked, lots of towels and extra beddings, bathrooms have shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We really enjoyed our stay, it’s easy to drive into Yosemite every day, close enough yet away from the crowds. Very comfortable!

We had a very pleasant stay at Oso Lodge this week. The beautiful, spacious house was clean, comfortable, and well supplied with everything we needed. I would definitely stay there again.

The perfect Yosemite experience
This is by far one of the best places I’ve ever stayed! Sometimes when booking a vacation rental there is always a bit of mystery as to the amenities at the home. Specifically in the kitchen! This kitchen has it all!!!! Good knives, plenty of cutting boards, BBQ tools, blender, baking pans and sheets, and the list goes on! Be free and bring all the food and consumables you want! Large modern fridge, lots of space to store dry goods and a counter to accommodate a nice beverage service or Buffett. There is a TV and DVD setup but don’t waste your time, there are plenty of better options like games, or just sitting fireside and conversing! If you like a little music preload a song list and BYO Bluetooth music player. WiFi is good but streaming is a no go! Bathrooms, showers, toilets are all well above average. Water flow is great with minimal to no issues with multiple people showering at the same time. The owner provides a little shampoo, conditioner, and soap, but bring your own. Fresh non-scratchy towels! We stared in the summer, the beds were comfortable and warm enough and on the hot nights, cool enough. Kind of like Goldilocks, just right! The outside was the best! The house sits less than 20’ from the National Park boundary so your view will always be trees, animals, and forest. Parking was easy, we had 3 cars for our group, and driving directions in and out were also simple. If you want to totally avoid the crowds, you virtually have your own slice of untouched Yosemite National Park right out the front door and to the left about 50’. Also a great staging spot for longer hikes.

Wonderful weekend
We stayed over the 4th of July weekend. This beautiful home was immaculate, kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make dinner. We had a relaxing weekend enjoying the park. The ping pong table was a hit. The house is in the park conveniently located near glacier point, tunnel view and Yosemite village. I look forward to staying again. Wonderful vacation home!
