YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CA

About

This vacation rental cabin sits in El Portal, just outside Yosemite Valley, and is booked as a private rental rather than a traditional hotel room. Guests describe a family-sized cabin with a pool table and a kitchen stocked with cookware and utensils — the kind of place set up for a group that wants to cook, unwind, and stay close to the park after a full day out.

What guests say

Reviews are split. Guests who stayed loved the cabin itself: one calls it "beautiful" and praised having the pool table for a big family, with one guest specifically noting how much they valued being able to stay this close to Yosemite Valley. Other reviewers ran into trouble on the booking side — complaints center on a rigid cancellation policy and slow, unfriendly communication after a trip fell through. The listing holds a 3.7 rating from 11 reviews, so go in with clear expectations on cancellation terms before you book.

Beautiful cabin inside the park near Yosemite Valley. Great for a big family, the pool table is a lot of fun. The house is well stocked with kitchen utensils and cookwares. Being able to stay inside the park is fantastic as well.

Agree with previous poster, Would definitely stay away from them. Unprofessional, unpleasant and barely responsive.

We booked a vacation through air bnb and the night before our trip we had a really bad car accident, and unfortunately one of our family members was badly injured and hospitalized. We couldn’t make the trip and needed to cancel. We wrote a nice email explaining our situation. With a video of the accident for proof. They were so rude about it and would not return our money. We asked if they can at least give as half of it back as she still had enough time to rebook it. They wouldn’t make an exception even under these very unfortunate circumstances. The service is so bad I would not recommend dealing with them at all. Where there is no heart there is no fun and blessing. Stay away if you can… vacations are so unpredictable, it better to know you are dealing with kind people.
