"We were booked in the classic cabin and the mountainside cabin... both were clean and convenient with easy access for visiting yosemite park, as well as for attending a wedding reception held at cedar lodge. The kitchenettes did not have an oven, so we improvised using the microwave. The AC in the classic cabin did not seem to be working but we had brought a big fan so managed ok during the hot days. We would stay here again!"

"Great for glamping. Super accessible for hikes nearby in the National Park. Good food options in Curry Village but there could be a queue for the bathroom and you know how shared toilets could get dirty especially around the busy times in the morning."

Red Bud Lodge
2.0 star property
7.2 out of 10, Good, 610 reviews
"Nice place to stay that is pretty close (8 miles) to Yosemite. The rooms are all on the second floor up an outside steep staircase if that is difficult for you. They have no front desk there so you have to check in at the Cedar Lodge down the street but that was no big deal. The room had a kitchenette of sorts with a hot plate, dishes etc but we didn’t realize that so didn’t take advantage of it. Friendly staff. Clean room. "

"Lisa’s property is located about 20 minutes from Yosemite Valley. VRBO provides detailed instructions so far as directions and accessing and using the property. It is in nice condition aside from a couple of funky faucets that could use a plumber’s attention. We found it very comfortable and well furnished. Everything works and Lisa provided all the linens, plates, cooking supplies etc we needed. She is extremely responsive. We mentioned needing a couple of items and adjustment of the heat and...

"We have stayed at Yosemite West at least 6 other times, booking through other listing agents. Never had any issues. We are always 100% satisfied and happy with everything.. Not so much this time through VRBO/Vacasa. #1. There is no phone in the unit. There are signs all over that tell you a number to call with issues, but that number is to an out of state place... not someone local to deal with anything.. AND - since there is no cell reception.. and no phone... the only way to deal with any...

"We had the best family weekend staying in this home! We originally had reservations in the valley that got canceled and we wanted to be as close as possible without being in a hotel. The layout and cleanliness of the house could not have been more ideal. Our kids are older and the house was big enough to accommodate us + significant others. We actually had a very intimate wedding ceremony at the Tunnel View and we celebrated with an amazing dinner and celebration at the house afterwards. I...

Storybook Chalet inside Yosemite National Park

"The house served our group of 6 well. There were a few minor items that needed attention and the host quickly replied to all messages. The view was less than what we were hoping but there was no specific mention of a spectacular Mountain View in the listing. The view is a partial Mountain View with most of the view being trees and other houses. The main reason to book this is the location. It is in the park and only 35-40 minutes from the valley. This reeeaaallly benefited us in regard to our...
