Oasis in Yosemite Park
Great lodge inside the Yosemite park. Hard to beat - air con, comfortable beds, hot tub, spacious, pool table etc. Only 30 mins drive into the main Yosemite Park Valley centre which we used as a base for most days. Also close to the road which takes you up Glacier Point - a must see for anyone first time visitors to Yosemite. We are also lucky enough to see a Brown bear and her cub walking past the lodge ! Hosts were helpful in posting back my wife’s gold necklace which we accidentally left behind. Would definitely stay here again if we came back.

Great location!
We had an AMAZING stay! This place is located 15-30 mins from Tunnel View and Yosemite Village. Very conveniently located within the Park gates so we did Tunnel View and Bridalveil Falls Trailhead, Upper Yosemite Falls to Eagle Peak, Mirror Lake Loop, and Mist Trail to Vernal Falls/Nevada Falls… just amazing! We will come back!

Cozy place!
I love the touch in each room and the huge family area. The TV would not turn on. This did not ruin or stay but it would have been a nice to have. Overall I liked staying at the house. The drive way is a bit though.

Very accommodating and friendly
Great property, lots of amenities that the host allows you to use. Definitely built for vacation with games, sleds, and creature comforts. Coffee was provided. Plenty warm in the winter. Driveway is steep, but was well cleared when we arrived after a big snow. Plenty of blankets/towels/dishes/cookware.

Location Location Location!
The Storybook Chalet was a perfect location for me and my family to stay while visiting the park. 20 mins to the valley, 25 mins to Mariposa Grove and 30 mins to Glacier Point. The kitchen had more than enough stuff for us to make our meals at the house. We really enjoyed the fast WiFi and hot tub as well. My only negative comment would be on the cleanliness and upkeep of the house, as someone with severe allergies the house was dusty and it doesn’t look like housekeeping is paying much attention to the vaulted ceilings or air ducts when it comes to the build up of dust. As noted in another review, some regular maintenance is needed such as fixing broken light fixtures, leaking faucets in bathrooms, closet doors, that don’t shut, etc. Overall it was a great place to stay and would have been 10/10 if it wasn’t for the above mentioned.

Nice location and amenities inside the park.
Really liked the place but downstairs bath needs some attention. Washing towels and getting them in the dryer is a bit much to ask if you are leaving early. Other than that, really enjoyed the property. Avoids going through long lines at park entrance.
