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 or any pets, 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 have Starlink wifi but no satellite TV (though we do have a DVD library), because trees around the house block satellite reception from the South sky. Wifi speed may sometimes be affected by trees around the house. There is spotty cell service 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. Please note if you have a larger group that this house has 1 1/2 bathrooms, and only 1 shower. If you prefer 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 most 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.

Air conditioning is individually controlled through a mini-split system controlled by remotes in each room. Our location is 6,000 feet of elevation, so generally is cooler than Yosemite Valley.

Great location inside the park. Not far from the tunnel into Yosemite and glacier point. There were many issues in the house maintenance wise though. For the price we paid, we didn’t expect to have so many problems.

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.

A very good time in Yosemite !

We really enjoyed our time in the house and the access it gave us to all the hot spot to visit in the Park. The house is mainly very comfortable and well equiped, like it is advertized. However, we had to make a few guesses to find out how to set up the last two beddings. But on the whole, nothing to say : we would book that house again if we were to come to Yosemite again.

Perfect for our needs

The hosts, Michelle and Peter were helpful in our pre-trip planning to make sure we were prepared for half-done and were easy to communicate with while we were at the house. The cabin house was perfect for our needs and was very clean. When they warn you about the bear activity make sure you do everything they tell you! There was bear activity in the neighborhood and we even saw a coyote waltzing down the street!

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.

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!!!

Yosemite

The property was clean. Simplistic. A bit aged and worn. The kitchen had all the utensils and appliances one would need. Everything was convenient and met our needs other than no internet connection and no sponges or brushes to facilitate cleaning up in the kitchen. The downstairs master lacks a shower or bath, and there is a small spiral staircase to the second floor where the full bath and other rooms are located. The stairs are rather slippery and need a non slip pad, especially jf one is only wearing socks. The house requires you to bring your own soaps and shampoo for the bathroom. Previous guests have left some pantry items as the host foes not iffer any. The setting was pleasant among the trees in a neighborhood setting with houses near by. We were about a half hour from Yosemite valley, an easy drive. Heating and air in each room worked well once we figured that out. The home could use guest instructions since without the internet, VRBO access was non existent.

Refreshing evenings on the deck

The most enjoyable feature of Hummingbird Raven house was that after a hot, sweaty, crowded, gorgeous, awe-inspiring day in Yosemite Valley we fixed a simple dinner and relaxed on the deck, drinking in the view, the quiet, and the cool breeze. It was heavenly. We considered ourselves better off than the rest of the family staying at the Ahwahnee. The hosts were very friendly and easy to work with, and clear in communications. We appreciated the nicely functioning refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, DVD player, fans in each room and comfortable bed. The furnishings and flooring are not new and the odd interior staircase was intimidating, but we were fairly warned. The facility is pleasantly close to Yosemite Valley, came as advertised, yet actually provides a much more enjoyable retreat in the forest than words can describe. Bravo to Michelle and Peter!

Hot temps in Yosemite

We had great clean cabins. Unlucky for us - the temps demanded some AC and we had none. I know this is not normal for this area. Also we were there with multiple family members - 6 cabins in all and were a little too far apart in this very mountainous area to do family well. No cell or WiFi made our plans for dinner and sharing time a bit more difficult and the house phone never worked. I loved the clean and wonderful cabins but would probably not book again for these reasons. Thank you to Michelle for helping us book this time together and for her responses to all our questions. I would recommend this to a single family who did not need to communicate with the outside world or to other cabins and during a cooler season. Very clean and very well maintained cabin, stocked with all the necessary items.

Perfect Yosemite Base

Even a bit nicer than the photos! The beds are super comfy, the place was spotless, we cooked huge meals and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The BBQ had propane, there were hand juicers, and three different ways to make coffee. We walked in and were very happy with the booking. The windows in the living space are massive and let in a ton of light and the deck is spacious. We had a great time over New Years. The neighborhood is cozy and quiet and an easy drive to the park without having to wait at the gate, you can get to Tunnel View in about 20 minutes. Really the location is quite superb. The hosts answered our last-minute questions with quick responses and check-in and check-out were a breeze. Make sure you don't forget your toiletries like we did, there's only two places in Yosemite to buy shampoo. The upstairs bathroom has a great shower with lots of water pressure and the bath is so nice. Hope to come back again one day. Thanks for having us!

Good Place! But giant winged ant issue.

We had an issue with finding lots of giant winged ants crawling on the carpet and a couple black beetles as well. Especially when we turned heater on they would appear out of nowhere near the vents making me think they came from the vents. Needs an exterminator visit to spray around the house. It didn’t ruin our stay though! We just killed them when we would see them with paper towels and we only saw them in the day not at night which isn’t a huge issue since we were mostly out on hikes. Also this place has DVDs, Board games such as Jenga and Monopoly, and some books. The Board games were a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed some Jenga but I recommend bringing some of own board games or card games to add a little more diversity. View from the Balcony in the morning is really relaxing for sipping on a morning coffee and letting your brain rest. Good bathtub and shower but bring own shampoo and body wash as we noticed there was only hand soap in the bathroom. Overall very pleasant place to stay in. Very quiet neighborhood which made it easy to sleep in but I recommend bringing a sleep mask to help with that as it gets a little sunny through the windows in the morning. Didn’t see any bears the whole time here so that’s a relief. Just Squirrels, woodpeckers, Blue Jays, chipmunks and little critters. Very relaxing stay.

Great place to stay within Yosemite’s borders. Comfortably housed our family of 7 for a week. You will love the tranquility and closeness to all of Yosemite’s beauty! One word to the wise: stock up before you arrive, the nearest large grocery store is an hour away, but if you are like us, the closeness to nature is why you are even considering this beautiful property!!!
