We had a wonderful stay Jan 1-4 as we kicked off the New Year and celebrated a birthday. The cabin is nestled in a quiet location and a short drive to the Yosemite Valley Tunnel View. The rooms were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. I appreciated the ceiling fans and free standing fan as I get overheated while sleeping… even in winter. The fireplace was easy to operate and there was dry wood under the porch. Our teen boys stayed off their screens because of the pool table, yay. The water pressure and temperature in the shower were perfect and the kitchen appliances all worked great. We enjoyed the expansive windows and comfortable sofas. Highly recommend the Storybook Chalet!

Best place to stay for Yosemite

We had a great time here. Location is inside park so you don’t need to make peak time reservations for park entry Property has great view, plenty of room at living areas We had a lot of fun playing pools there. Rooms have everything you need and expect for vacation rental. Best part is communications with host. Eric was super helpful with all information we needed before, during and after our stay. We definitely will come back here for future trips!

Vacation

We loved the property. My only note would be that the host required us to put our towels in the washer and dryer. With a 10 hour drive home, we do not want to wake up an extra hour early in order to wash the towels and put them in the dryer. So we brought our own towels. Also, with our car completely full, we do not want to drive with trash bags in our lap, trying to locate the dumpster far from the property. It would be nice if these simple things be included with the property.
