About this property

Entire place

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

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.

INTERNET AND CELL SERVICE: Please note that 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 spotty cell service in Yosemite West. 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 need wifi during your stay, please see our other vacation cabins in Yosemite West (Hummingbird Raven House, VRBO 94764) or in Wawona (Hummingbird Pika House, VRBO 1156877).

Pricing is $475.00 base price for up to 4 guests. $40.00 per night for each additional guest per night after the first 4 guests. Children age 3 and under stay for free. 10% discount on one week stays. County tax is 13.5%. Minimum stay 2 nights.

The Hummingbird Pines House is one of very few vacation homes in Yosemite West with only two stairs into the house, making it ideal for guests of all ages. Please note: we cannot have wheelchairs or walkers in our house as they damage the floors. Our other house in Yosemite West is Hummingbird Raven House, listing #94764.

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 other vacation rentals in Yosemite West.

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. We cannot accommodate more than 10 guests.

Up to 2 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.)

The upstairs master bedroom has a king size bed and bath. Downstairs are two additional bedrooms, each with a queen size bed. We have an upstairs loft area with two single beds, and a fold-out sofa bed in the downstairs living area which sleeps 2. All beds have comforters and pillows.

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, Hummingbird Pines House does not have air conditioning. We do have individual room fans. Our location is 6,000 feet elevation, so generally remains cooler than Yosemite Valley.

The house is dated but clean, with a fantastic location and a beautiful deck overlooking the back of the property. Staying inside Yosemite National Park made it easy to hit the trailheads early each morning. While the home shows its age, it’s cozy and inviting, stocked with games, puzzles, and essentials—perfect for relaxing and unplugging after a long day of hiking, especially with no WiFi to distract you.

Overall the stay was good. The kitchen was well stocked and the washer and dryer were great. Unfortunately, we weren’t use to the spiders that randomly showed up. Might be a thing of being in the woods.

Family Celebration

We found the place was a great size for all of our family to stay. However, it did feel that the amenities were a bit bare bones and lack luster. The beds and living areas were comfortable and the deck was lovely. The proximity to the park was great, especially since we did not have to wait in line at the gate.

Wonderful winter visit!

We had a wonderful time! We did puzzles on the large dining room table, watched a DVD movie, made great meals in the kitchen. The place was very comfortable and warm (it snowed just before our arrival). There was some rain so we were very appreciative of the covered parking spot. We will definitely come back when we’re in the area.

We had an awesome trip to Yosemite and this cabin was perfect. We had a one year-old, a three year-old, two older grandparents and a small dog--- and everyone had a great stay! Easy accessibility, very clean, well set up, and in a beautiful location. Highly recommend!

Ideal Location

If you don't want to stay in a tent cabin in Curry Village, why not enjoy a quiet, comfortable and warm cabin where you can cook a nice meal and sleep soundly before heading down the hill to beat the crowds to all the valley's best hikes?

Loved the place, it is a little older built in the 80's I'd imagine. There is no cell service or wifi so plan ahead for that.

Enjoyed our stay there! Only gripe is that the property was harder to spot in the night with porch lights off. A reflective sign board by the side of the road would help.

Great Spot for Staying in Yosemite

Away from the madness of crowds in Yosemite Valley (but close enough to get to hikes in the early morning), very close to Glacier Point (we went for sunrise multiple times), this is a great spot to stay in Yosemite while mostly avoiding crowds. The entrance from Fresno also had no lines whatsoever when we entered (as did Tioga Pass on the day we went to Mono Lake). Note: there is no TV or Wifi or cell service at this location - which my family really enjoyed!
