INSIDE YOSEMITE! 10 Minutes From Yosemite Valley. Summer and fall openings!

Ten minutes from Yosemite Valley and conveniently located on the paved road, this one bedroom cabin in Foresta offers complete relaxation in a quiet setting. The full kitchen includes all modern appliances (excepting dishwasher) and comes equipped with dining area, coffee maker, toaster, blender, pots, pans & dishes. Or use the propane BBQ while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Eat on the screened porch, safe from pesky bugs, or relax on the couch. The modern bathroom features a walk-in shower and stacked washer/dryer. The bedroom has a comfortable King bed, closet and supplemental electric stove. Equipped with romantic flame gas insert and A/C. Explore the quiet surroundings, stroll to Crane Creek moments away, then rest under the shady oaks and pines. (See also our sister listing #726304, Shady Grove Cabin for additional two person accommodation.)
Foresta is a great starting point to various Yosemite destinations, Yosemite Valley, Tuolumne Meadows, the Merced & Tuolumne Groves of Sequoias and many hiking trails. Offering Free satellite TV, WIFI and HughesNet Gen4 internet, Verizon's 4G network is also available.

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.

This was a great cabin. Very close to Yosemite Valley, very clean and comfortable and roomy. The kitchen was nice. The owner always answered me very quickly. It was so quiet and peaceful in the wooded area. I would recommend anyone going to Yosemite to stay here! It was such a pleasant experience.

Property was great! Expect closer to 30 min to get to most Yosemite Valley destinations, but the drive in is gorgeous so can’t really complain there. There’s good cellular service at the property and the host was a great communicator! We had some very uncharacteristic thunderstorms during our stay so some power outages occurred but they were solved reasonably quickly. Nice a quiet with a trail head right behind the property.
