Cell service and wifi may be spotty in the park - Plan ahead! We recommend that you screenshot your reservation information or ensure that the page is loaded before you reach the entrance to the National Park. During busy times, the National Park staff may ask you to show a park reservation for entry, if this happens please let them know you are staying with us inside the park and show them your booking information.

* Being inside Yosemite park is amazing, however it is also at a high elevation and snow is likely in the winter. Please make sure to come prepared with tire chains, winter clothes and boots in the cold months. Check the weather conditions and road closures on the national park website. Roads are usually plowed quickly after storms but chains will likely be required in the winter.
*This listing is based on double occupancy, meaning there is a fee for each guest beyond 2 people. Day visitors are not allowed so every person on the property (including infants and children) at any time, must be on your reservation. Maximum guest occupancy is 5.
* Early checkin and Late check out must be a arranged in advance and will come with a charge. Getting staff into Yosemite to clean is a challenge. The Housekeeping company pays their staff by the hour, whether they are cleaning or waiting for guests to leave. In general they charge a fee of $25 per hour to alter the check in or check out time

This neighborhood has no services like grocery stores or restaurants. Please come prepared to be in a rural setting. Gas and basic services are a 25 minute drive back to Wawona. Please plan accordingly.
