King Suite for Active Couples Inside Yosemite Gate, Your Basecamp for Adventure!

Planning an unforgettable Yosemite adventure? Lucky you! With its iconic trails, rugged peaks, and endless opportunities for exploration, few places in the world offer such an incredible outdoor experience.

Of course, you’ll want accommodations to match your adventurous spirit—comfortable, convenient, and inside the park gates. Serenity Suite is exactly that: a high-quality, well-equipped King Suite designed for an active couple who wants to make the most of their time in Yosemite. At 5,500 feet elevation, Serenity Suite provides an escape from the summer heat on the Valley floor and is just minutes from Badger Pass Ski Area in winter. Whether you’re here for hiking, climbing, birdwatching, or photography, you found the perfect home base for your visit.

Located inside the park gates, in the Yosemite West neighborhood, you’re only 20-30 minutes from top attractions like Glacier Point, Yosemite Valley, and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. Unlike stays outside the park, you won’t waste time in long lines or have to start your day at dawn just to beat the crowds. Here, your adventure runs on your schedule.

A Best-In-Class Stay for Couples Who Explore
Serenity Suite is of modern construction, built with careful attention to detail and high-end finishes. Guests always rave about the quality of the home, from the exceptionally comfortable King bed to the large covered deck surrounded by towering trees.
You’ll find:
✔ Fully equipped kitchen with quality appliances for easy meal prep
✔ Marble & granite countertops for a polished, high-end feel
✔ Soothing jetted tub—perfect after a long day on the trails
✔ Central air conditioning (a rare luxury in this area!)
Everything is provided—linens, towels, cookware, and dishes—so all you need to bring is your gear, your sense of adventure, and your favorite food and drinks.

As you can see in our pictures, Serenity Suite features an open floor plan with extra-high, lofted ceilings that make the space feel even larger. The design features plentiful natural light and peaceful views of the surrounding forest. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook meals before or after your adventures. Outside, a spacious covered deck with a barbecue offers a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a well-earned dinner after a full day in the park. It’s nearly impossible to find this kind of private retreat, especially oriented to two people, elsewhere in Yosemite and still stay central to everything.

Know Before You Book
✔ Lower-Level of a Thoughtfully Designed Duplex – Serenity Suite is located below our other home, Royal Retreat (designed specifically for two couples). Your space is fully separate and private, including your entrance, deck, and parking area.
✔ Access via 18 Stairs – The entrance to Serenity Suite is down an 18-step stairway, which is extra-wide for easy luggage transport.
✔ Normal Footstep Sounds from Above – As this is a lower unit, you may hear occasional footfall from the home above. We’ve built with soundproofing, and past guests have been satisfied, but please expect some normal sounds of occupancy.
✔ Who This Home is Best Suited For – Serenity Suite is designed for active couples who want an adventure-first experience. If your goal is to stay inside all day or have an entertainment-heavy trip, this may not be the best fit.
✔ Maximum Occupancy – Normally 2 people. Infants under 6 months may be added at no charge. Seasonally, we may allow 3 guests (any age), with an additional charge for the third guest, except for infants under 6 months.
✔ We welcome guests from all walks of life and believe in warm hospitality and creating a space where all guests feel valued and respected. We appreciate guests who are considerate and respectful of our home and community.

Technology & Connectivity
✔ Internet & Wi-Fi – We provide top of the line satellite internet, but due to our remote, forested location, performance varies. Live video calls (Zoom, FaceTime, etc.) may not be reliable.
✔ No Cell Service – Like many areas within Yosemite, our home does not have cellular signal. However, we provide a landline phone with long-distance calling and Wi-Fi calling is available.
✔ TV/Entertainment – No cable TV. We offer a DVD library, including Yosemite-related films. You can also stream entertainment using your own accounts (subject to internet conditions), but let’s be honest—you’re here for the trails, not the screen!

Book Your Stay Inside Yosemite!
Serenity Suite is a rare find inside the park gates, offering couples the perfect mix of quality, comfort, and adventure-focused convenience.

Our calendar fills quickly, so secure your dates today and get ready for an unforgettable Yosemite experience, just the two of you!

Five Stars!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Serenity Suite. The owners truly thought of everything to make us feel ready for our stay and to make us comfortable while we were there. It was a great place to "come home to" after enjoying Yosemite Park. The bed was especially comfortable.

It was a great cabin/condo for two people. Kitchen was well furnished. Wonderful deck with great view and grill. Short drive to Yosemite Valley. Highly recommend this property! Must add that the jacuzzi tub was an added bonus after a day of hiking.

Amazing cabin!
This place was perfect! It was quiet, secluded but also extremely easy to get to! It’s perfectly located to give a nice drive to the valley but not too far where it becomes taxing after a long day of hiking. The cabin is very comfortable as well providing all the amenities required for an easy stay in the mountains! The WiFi worked great, no issues there!

Great Suite for seeing Yosemite
Great little suite for my wife and I while we visited Yosemite. We stayed five nights. The place was very organized and clean. Great location for getting around the park. Tons of information in the suite and provided via correspondence with the owners. We would absolutely use this suite again, if we come back to the park in the future.

Absolutely great!
This was up there with the best vacation rental we've stayed in. It was sparkling clean, it had everything you need for a feel at home experience and more. Holly and Jeff are very helpful and friendly. Location is great. Not really in National Park land but access is only thru the natioal park road. It's about 40 min to the Village due to 35mph road limit, but you feel you are in park land because Yosemite West is just as pristine a land. Beautiful!!! We'll stay again and would recommend it 100%.

Everything was perfect
We absolutely loved our stay at Serenity Suite in early June. My husband and I planned a full weekend of hiking, and it was such a treat to come back to Serenity Suite at the end of each day. Holly and Jeff have thought of every detail to make guests comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked and easy to cook meals in each night. The location was peaceful and beautiful, and the suite so clean and well-cared for. We are planning to return as soon as we can!

Beautiful Condo near Yosemite Valley
My wife and I stayed here during an April trip to Yosemite, and we loved the place. It was really clean, well-furnished, and the house and its setting (among towering evergreens) are absolutely beautiful. At only about a 15-minute drive from the Tunnel View of Yosemite Valley, this location is convenient to the valley attractions. It's at a much higher elevation than the valley floor, and we often found the place in the fog of clouds. We returned on a rainy afternoon in the park to find a light dusting of snow on the ground in the Yosemite West community - it rapidly melted off, but was a testament to how the weather can be very different between the valley floor and the higher-elevation condo. There is an upstairs unit directly above, but noise from occupants up there seemed limited and tolerable. All in all, this place was wonderful and we loved it.

Serenity Suite
We loved our stay at Serenity Suite! The location is a perfect cozy home base for exploring Yosemite. Serenity Suite is the lower level of a two story cottage. It is spacious as advertised, beautifully furnished, and we were very comfortable for our four night stay. There is a nice private deck in the back where we occasionally saw some Yosemite mule deer and birds coming into the yard to eat some berries. Our host Holly was very helpful, sending an email head of our stay with good suggestions for groceries and gas on our way in. She answered questions quickly. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay. Would certainly consider booking again.

Fantastic suite
My husband and I are currently staying at serenity suite and it is fabulous. Holly was so organized and helpful through the booking process and the way this place is kept up shows those qualities. She and Jeff provided a welcome basket. There was plenty of your needed items (shampoo, toilet paper, salt, Epsom salt, dish detergent, etc.) I don't typically leave reviews but this place was so fantastic that I felt I had to let others know.

Organized - and serene
Organized and serene. Owners left information and were available to answer questions No wonder this Vrbo gets 5 star reviews. Older individuals need to know lots of steps to go down with luggage- but the view is pretty and the steps are lighted at night. Did hear some footsteps upstairs but it was minimal

Great location inside the Gorgeous Yosemite National Park!
Serenity Suite was a great place to come back to each night after hiking and exploring the park. It has everything you need. We watched movies at night, cooked on the grill outside on the patio and soaked in the jetted tub. It's tucked away in a nice neighborhood. Great directions were given by Holly and Jeff to get there in the dark! We were amazed at the beauty we were seeing everyday. We will be back and hope to stay in Serenity Suite again! One suggestion would be to put a comfy mattress topper on the bed:) Loved being able to see the fireplace and tv from the bed.
