About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stay Inside Yosemite National Park! No separate park reservation required.

IMPORTANT: We do not accept third party bookings. The person whose name is on the reservation must be staying at the property.

We no longer accept dogs, no exceptions.

Pricing is $390.00 base price for up to 2 guests. $40.00 per night for each additional guest per night after the first 2 guests. Children under age 3 stay free, 10% discount on one week stays. (Please let us know if any of your children are aged 3 and under when you fill out the inquiry form.) Minimum stay of 2 nights.

Minimum age of primary renter: 25.

INTERNET AND CELL SERVICE: we do not have wifi OR satellite TV (though we do have an extensive DVD library), because trees around the house block satellite reception from the South sky. There is also no cell service in Yosemite West. Cell service is spotty in Yosemite Valley. There is free wifi available in Yosemite Valley at Degnan's Kitchen, and there are computers with wifi at the libraries in Yosemite Valley and Wawona. If you have need of wifi during your stay, please see our home in Wawona, the Hummingbird Pika House, which has wifi (VRBO 1156877).

Yosemite West is inside Yosemite National Park. It is a 25-35 minutes drive to Yosemite Valley attractions, 30 minutes to Glacier Point and 30 minutes to Mariposa Grove and Wawona. This is also the closest lodging for Badger Pass Ski Area, with downhill and cross country skiing and snowshoeing - only eight miles away from your door.

This Yosemite West home is located close to the Glacier Point Road, so you are very close to Taft Point and Glacier Point, the most spectacular views of Yosemite Valley.

This house sleeps a maximum of 8 - 10 people. Please note if you have a larger group that this house has 1 1/2 bathrooms, and only 1 shower. If you need 2 showers, please check out our other Yosemite West rental cabin, the Hummingbird Pines House (VRBO 470093).

The Hummingbird Raven House has a spacious deck high in the trees which is a wonderful place to eat dinner and enjoy the sunset.

Please note that our house has a spiral staircase which may be difficult for elderly folks and small children. Our other Yosemite West vacation home, the Hummingbird Pines House (VRBO 470093) is more suited to elderly guests as it has only 2 steps into the house and bedrooms on the ground floor.

If our cabin and Yosemite are accessible, we do not cancel, modify, or refund reservations based on smoke, which is a very common occurrence in Yosemite each summer. This policy is consistent with all vacation rentals in Yosemite West.

The master bedroom has a king size bed and a half bath. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, with a queen size bed and four bunks. A convertible sofa-bed in the office sleeps 1 to 2 more guests. Note: we cannot accommodate more than 10 guests at a time.

This house is equipped with a full kitchen and a large dining table. There is a bbq and dining furniture on the deck, which is a wonderful place to enjoy dinner and watch the sunset.

Like most homes in Yosemite West, the Hummingbird Raven House does not have air conditioning. We do have individual room fans. Our location is 6,000 feet of elevation, so usually remains cooler than Yosemite Valley.

Just as described

Very kind owners, great communication and responses. Good location inside of Yosemite NP, with a quick 7 minutes drive to tunnel view which provided us with an out of this world sunrise view of Yosemite valley and it waterfalls.

Seeking Peace in Yosemite

Nice lived-in cabin for 4 to stay comfortably (max 4 because everyone has to share the same shower). Plenty of space for indoor and outdoor relaxation. Great location for accesssing Yosemite Valley or Mariposa Grove (about 35 minutes from each) without having to enter through the park entrance ranger station. This location allowed access to the park twice in the same day when we wanted to hike early, come home for a rest, and then return to Yosemite Valley in the evening.

HOT

Yosemite NP is a fantastic place. This place is in a great location. Unfortunately, it was extremely hot outside and inside. I wish we could have gotten the temperature below 85 inside the house - but there was no relief. We enjoyed almost every area of Yosemite while there, easy access daily, already inside the park to minimize lines/waiting. We were up early each day and home late - so much to do in the park. Just wish we could have slept, but it was too hot.

Great location and accommodation!

Beautiful location and a short drive to the amazing "Tunnel View" and then onto the Valley floor. Also close to Glacier point road. The cabin was lovely, all the amenities we needed and lots of space for the 5 of us. We loved it!

Location is great. For the nightly rate it would be easy to update some items…toilet seats, air filters, well used pots and pans and clean upholstery. Easy communication with owner.

Excellent Location, Great for Family Re-Unions

Property was exactly as advertised. Very well maintained and with a lot of thought to the small details and things that are required. Nice location inside the park and not too far away from the various attractions.

Early May Stay

Beautiful place to stay with the uncertainty of flooding in the Valley/campgrounds this time of year. We loved the location, the property, and the privacy. Very close drive into Tunnel View. 10/10 and hope they let us book again!

Wow! Yosemite West gem!!!!

We had an amazing stay at Hummingbird Raven House. It was perfect for our family of four. Extremely nice to have as much space as we explored Yosemite NP.for three days. The location is superb, close to the Valley, but also much closer to other key places like Glacier Point, and Wawona/Mariposa. The house was very well kept, with great amenities, beautiful property. Everything functioned well. The communication with the property owners was very detailed and thorough. They were extremely kind and provided excellent information on the park and day trip ideas. We really love our stay here and would gladly stay here again. Definitely would recommend this place to couples, families, friends as your headquarters for an amazing Yosemite stay!!!

Pleasant stay

The property looked better than the pictures provided in the listing. The amenities and other details matched the listing. The hosts were quick to respond to questions. My family had a good stay. Suggestion - it would be great to get some new DVDs/blurays (the selection there is pretty old). Th

Nice, comfy home on a great location

We enjoyed our stay at the house. It was very clean and on a great location- 20 mins from the tunnel and 40 mins total from the house to the visitor center. The house is comfortable and our entire family were pleased with it. Owners were very responsive throughout the entire process. Some areas of the house are dated but they are clean, which is the most important aspect for us. Overall, nice stay.

Wonderful weekend

The house was wonderful! It was easy to find and a great location. It had several home improvements since the photos were taken - including a new TV, electric stove top, oven, and stainless steel refrigerator. The owners had several thoughtful touches, including having an expansive DVD collection and laundry detergent available for the laundry machines.

Perfect Yosemite Getaway

We had a wonderful stay in this Yosemite home. The location is terrific — just a short drive to Yosemite Valley and minutes away from Badger Pass ski resort. Our kids loved the bunk beds and the spiral stair case. We loved the well-equipped kitchen and open living space down stairs. We now think Yosemite West is a hidden gem and we'd loved to stay at this house again in the future.

Gorgeous home in the heart of Yosemite!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home in the heart of Yosemite. There was more than enough room for our family of five, comfortable beds and furniture, ample linens and kitchen utensils. It was a lovely respite after full days of hiking. We would definitely return to this home if and when we return to Yosemite in the future.
