About this property

IMPORTANT: If you want to bring a pet with you, please tell us in your reservation request. We do NOT automatically accept all pets. Thank you.

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 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 also no cell service in Yosemite West. Cell service is spotty in Yosemite Valley. There is paid wifi available in Yosemite Valley. If you have need of wifi during your stay, please see our home in Wawona, the Hummingbird Pika House, which has wifi (VRBO 1156877).

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 need 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 all 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.

Like most homes in Yosemite West, the Hummingbird Raven House does not have air conditioning. We do have individual room fans. Our location is 6,000 feet of elevation, so usually remains cooler than Yosemite Valley.

We accept dogs on a case-by-case basis. We do not automatically accept all dogs. We only accept dogs who are not left unattended in the house or on the deck. There is also a fee required.

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!

Pleasant stay

The property looked better than the pictures provided in the listing. The amenities and other details matched the listing. The hosts were quick to respond to questions. My family had a good stay. Suggestion - it would be great to get some new DVDs/blurays (the selection there is pretty old). Th

2 day stay

Location is great. For the nightly rate it would be easy to update some items…toilet seats, air filters, well used pots and pans and clean upholstery. Easy communication with owner.

Location great, facility a disappointment

The location was great for our trip; however, the cleanliness was not good. I have stayed in rustic cabins and understand what comes with that type of lodging. However, cleanliness is expected as a standard especially for our cost to stay. The carpet was dirty (all over), furniture was dusty and stained, kitchen cabinets doors where dirty, screen door was broken, etc. There was a "large" spider web (and spiders) in the bathroom which based on size has been there a long time. We were asked not to come to the house until the cleaners had time to clean (not sure they cleaned at all). No way would we stay at that house again or recommend it to anyone. Thank you.

We have visited and loved Yosemite for many years, and are thrilled to have vacation rental homes in the park. We love Yosemite for hiking, climbing, snow shoeing, wildlife viewing and spending time in nature. Please feel free to email us with questions!

Why they chose this property

Hummingbird Raven is inside the park, but outside the bustle of Yosemite Valley so it is quiet and peaceful. This house is ideal for groups of family and friends who want a nice house to come back to after a long day of adventure

What makes this property unique

Yosemite West is inside the Park boundaries, so it's a perfect location to enjoy Yosemite (20 minutes to Yosemite Valley and Glacier Point, and close to various trailheads). It has the advantage of being very close to the Badger Pass ski area, and being at a higher elevation than the Valley, which keeps the temperatures more comfortable in the summer months.
