Foresta is located within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park. Now known as an “inholding”, Foresta (Big Meadow) started as a pioneering area. Two ranches (McCauley and Meyers) provided beef, pork, dairy and vegetables to the Yosemite Valley hotels. In the twenties, it was sub-divided and given the name of Foresta. Created as an “artistic” community, musical gatherings were held by the creek. After the Great Depression, many lots were sold for back taxes. Approximately 75 homes were in use, either full time or seasonally, before the 1993 A-Rock fire destroyed most of them. More than half of the homes have now been rebuilt. Fire has been a defining force in this area, showcasing Mother Nature's endless cycles.

Yosemite Cabin stay
We wanted to be close to all the great sights in Yosemite but didn’t want to stay in the park Hotels. This cabin worked great for two of us. We were able to make our own meals and not have to rely on the restaurants that really don’t have great reviews. Cabin was clean and had a nice small kitchen. Bed was comfortable. Perfect for what we wanted.

Great Location!
The cabin is truly in the perfect location to access all that Yosemite National Park has to offer. The hosts offered clear directions and good communication. The amenities are OK - no shampoo etc. Would recommend for a weekend or a few nights if your plan is to be out and about in the park! 8/10

Perfect little cabin
The place was perfect for what we needed. We did a lot hiking and exploring so this gave us a great place to come back and relax to. It was quiet and away from the crowds. The shower has amazing pressure but make sure you close the bottom all the way to keep water from leaking out. Highly recommend.

Great Location Inside The Park
This property was as advertised. There was easy access to all areas of the park. No waiting in line each day to enter the park. It was hot when we visited so it was nice to have an air conditioned cabin to come back to.

Perfect Place for Visiting Yosemite
This property was the perfect place for visiting Yosemite. It was quiet and secluded, yet still quiet close to Yosemite Valley and Tioga Rd. There is a little maintenance needed, such as a tricky shower door and a mattress that could be replaced, but it was still a great value, especially with the bonus of air conditioning, something hard to find around the Yosemite area. Overall, I think I'd stay again.

Perfect spot for exploring the park!
Located inside the park, this quiet cozy cabin was the perfect spot for my husband and I. The place was very clean, bed was comfy, and location was only 15 mins from the valley, while still being away from the crowds. Loved having a little kitchenette as well so we could cook our own meals. Highly recommend to anyone exploring Yosemite!

Shady Grove Cabin
My daughter and I stayed there and loved it! We can't wait to return, perhaps this Autumn. It was a joy to experience the beauty of Yosemite and to leave the crowds behind at the end of the day and return to this charming cabin. The peace and quiet there were wonderful. It was comfortable and well stocked with cooking pots and pans, dishes, etc. Our overall experience was a 10!

Peaceful Cabin in the Park
Highly recommend this cabin if wanting to stay in the park, but also enjoy some peace from the crowds. It is close to the valley but has the feeling of peace of privacy in the mountains (with A/C!). There are a few close neighbors, but we never heard them. We brought in groceries and enjoyed breakfast/dinner out on the porch each day. Only recommendation is to print off the directions the host provides or your own because it’s a bit hard to find the first time, especially with no service.

Great cabin
Not too far from Yosemite and Curry Villages for groceries and food outlets (maybe 20 mins four to door) and easy journey. Very quiet location. Great space inside. Good, well kitted out kitchen with big fridge, freezer and microwave. Good shower and plenty of hot water. Plenty of towels too. Bed was good size but very soft mattress which may suit some people. Everything you need for a few days inside Yosemite park.
