Rocky Point Cabin – Foresta – Yosemite

Yosemite will require reservations to enter the park this summer but by booking this home you will not need Reservations!!

Amazing views of El Capitan and Half Dome.

We’re a family owned and operated guest house located inside Yosemite National Park in the small community of Foresta. Located inside the park boundary and entrance gates (meaning that you won’t have to wait in line to enter the park each day) 7 miles from the Valley Floor. Our home boasts stunning views of Clouds Rest, Half Dome, and El Capitan from nearly every room in the house.

Please see the Booking Information page for more information on our unique location. Our guest home comfortably accommodates 4 guests with two upstairs bedrooms, each with a Queen bed, and an additional den downstairs with a Full bed. There are two full bathrooms. Given the remote location, we rely on a limited well and septic system for water and sewage needs which is why we don’t allow more than 4 guests (including children). Many of our guests are long-time returning customers and we’re privileged to be able to share this special place with so many visitors from across the globe. We look forward to hosting you! –

Yosemite Hilltop Cabins …. are located within the gates of Yosemite National Park in the tiny community of Foresta. It is hard to believe that such a quiet and peaceful place like this exists just fifteen minutes from the sometimes bustling Yosemite Valley.

Our two cabins, the Sage and Lupin, were designed by the owner to augment views, peacefulness, and use of space. Both cabins are on the same property, have the same floor plan, and are furnished nearly identically. The Hilltop Cabins are located next to each other yet are oriented to maintain maximum solitude.

Each cabin has a master bedroom with a comfy king-size bed and is complete with season appropriate linens. They also have a full bath, a full kitchen, a full-size sleeper sofa, and a reading loft. Prepare fresh meals using the fully equipped kitchen complete with all the cookware and dinnerware that you will need, or enjoy grilling on a Weber gas barbecue. We encourage guests to explore Yosemite year-round, with that in mind we have comfort measures for every season, including propane heaters that look like wood-burning stoves and air conditioning..
