2 Bedroom House in Yosemite West, Yosemite

Planning a visit to Yosemite? Adventure Awaits! With its majestic vistas, powerful waterfalls, outstanding recreation and connections to history, few places refresh the spirit like the treasured Yosemite National Park.
Of course you’ll want a perfect home base, and our Royal Retreat offers something very rare - a two-bedroom modern mountain home inside Yosemite gates, that is peaceful and avoids crowds and lines. Boasting two king bedrooms, Royal Retreat is perfect for two couples. Located at 5,500 feet, it provides an escape from the heat on the Valley floor in the summer and proximity to fun at Badger Pass in the winter.
Located inside the park gates, in the Yosemite West neighborhood, Royal Retreat is approximately 20-30 minutes from popular attractions, including the Valley floor and its breathtaking waterfalls, Glacier Point, and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoia Trees. It sure beats long drives from outside the gates or sitting in lines for hours! Even lodging just a few miles outside the gates can mean over 1-hour waits or being forced to start vacation days before 7 am to beat the crowds. Not very easy for most families to manage! Not so at Royal Retreat; Start each day on your own schedule.
Royal Retreat is a modern home. You can feel the care that went into each detail, from the rustic Shaker-style cabinets and doors to the handmade wooden staircase. One of the unique features is you do not climb stairs to access the front door. This is rare in our area; most rentals are on a hill, and you haul your bags up flights of stairs to enter. Also unique is central air conditioning for your comfort, more functional than mini-splits and not common in our area. Royal Retreat's guest bedroom, which offers a king-size bed, is on the first floor with a bathroom right across the hall, making it perfect for guests who are less mobile.
In terms of amenities, Royal Retreat offers luxury upon luxury. The home is fully equipped - towels, linens, dishes, cookware. You only need to bring yourself, your food/drink, and a good time!
Royal Retreat offers beautiful views of the forest from its rooms. The living room and loft are especially relaxing; both receive ample sunlight and showcase peaceful views of the trees surrounding the property. If you want to grill, the covered deck gives you the luxury of being outside, while still providing shelter from the sun or rain.
We have another unit on site-Serenity Suite, directly below Royal Retreat. All of your space is separate and private including your parking area, entrance and deck. You will not need to interact with other guests, but consideration for those living below you is appreciated.

Summary: Wonderfvul digs. Evrything was perfect. As described. Everything was labeled , in place and clean. Comfortable furniture and one of the best organized and equipped kitchens I have seen. The only thing i would add would be a shower mat to the shower downstairs - a littler slippery there.While a ways from the valley floor. cooler at this location.

Summary: Property and amenities are as described in the listing. An excellent base for our three night tour of Yosemite. Recommended.

Summary: What a joy to stay in such a beautiful, well stocked and clean home in an ideal Yosemite location. Holly stayed in touch throughout our stay after providing excellent information and recommendations prior to our arrival. If you are looking for a place to stay for a Yosemite visit, look no further.

Summary: We loved this beautiful super clean home. We especially appreciated the easy access from the parking to the door, and the downstairs bedroom and bathroom. The owners take pride in their home and it had what looked like new carpet, which was very nice. It was completely equipped with everything you could possibly want from a coffee maker to a crockpot, and there were labels on everything to help you navigate. The location was quiet, with a charming balcony amid the trees. Access to the valley took 30 minutes.The only reason for the 4 stars is that the beds are not comfortable. They are hard and lumpy. I don’t think I’m being overly picky here, since last Summer I toured Scandinavia, sleeping in a variety of moderately priced hotels and private homes, and had no complaints about the beds. This is an easy fix which will bring the bedding up to the high standards of the rest of the home. Other than that we had a great time.

Summary: The property was exactly as listed. Great location, great amenities, clean place. Could not have asked for a better experience!

Summary: Holy is amazing at communicating and made the check in process easy. The house is beautiful and clean! We were sad we were only there to spend one night but we are so happy we got to explore Yosemite and looking forward to staying there in the future!
Daniel S. Feb 20, 2025 12:45:45 AM
Summary: The home and hosts were excellent. The area was quiet and offers a great view of the trees and surrounding nature. The best part of the home was the parking right at the front door, with no stairs. This was vitally important as we visited in Winter and there was snow on the ground. The inside of the home was great with a gas fireplace and a nice balcony. the house was spacious with a kitchen which was well stocked with pots and pans, which is not a guarantee in some rentals. I honestly cannot think of anything we required that this house did not have. I would highly recommend this home if you plan on visiting Yosemite. I will stay here if available during my next trip to Yosemite.

Summary: Almost everything about this place was amazing! Beautiful and the location was great. We will definitely go back when we get the chance

Summary: We loved staying at Royal Retreat! The unit was very clean and everything was as pictured and described. Very comfortable and spacious for our family of four. We enjoyed spending time playing their multiple board games, watching movies, cozying up by the fireplace . The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you might need from your basics to a griddle, crock pot and baking sheets. My husband enjoyed cooking a couple of meals on the grill. The views from both downstairs and upstairs are spectacular, all the windows make the unit bright and very scenic.The location is perfect for an every day drive to the Valley or to explore the South side of Yosemite.I was concerned with privacy do the unit below, but in our five night stay we never heard or encountered the guests staying there, all we noticed was their car parked in their designated spot away from Royal retreat. We cannot wait ro come back and stay at Royal Retreat!

Summary: We just spent 4 days at the Royal Retreat. The entire experience was simply perfect. This was one of the nicest rental homes we have ever stayed in. On top of that, Holly & Jeff were the most gracious hosts. The home was in pristine condition and they anticipated our every need. The kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms were all fully stocked with essentials AND extras. Everything was clearly labeled which eliminated any guess work. The beds were also incredibly comfortable. Lastly, the location in Yosemite West was absolutely perfect. We were as close as you could get to Glacier Point Road and Tunnel View,, and only a short drive to Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove. That decreased our time in the car which was fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend the Royal Retreat to anyone visiting Yosemite National Park.
