The house was fantastic - everything clean, organized and of high quality. Art is a super host - a great and interesting guy with a wealth of knowledge and experience of all things outdoors.
Hope to return!
Art is a wonderful host who goes above and beyond to insure a pleasant stay. The location was great - just minutes to Glacier Point Rd, 20 minutes to the Valley, and 30 minutes or so to Wawona. We stayed 8 days at Artâs place and it had absolutely everything we needed. We highly recommend this spot as a base for your Yosemite adventures!
This place is spectacular! The host was so helpful and generous with his time giving us the inside scoop on Yosemite and even lending us his snow shoes. The property was beautiful - clean, very comfortable and well appointed. We would love to come visit again!
Absolutely beautiful property, so convenient to all the sites,but a quiet peaceful place to relax after a day of adventures, itâs such an advantage staying within the park . Art was wonderful to communicate with and we enjoyed our stay, would highly recommend this rental, and if we ever return to Yosemite this will be our go to place! Thank you Art for your hospitality!
it was a great location and property, the owner even had an ice bag for knees, and hiking poles and a cooler there if we needed them. Highly recommended! the owner was full of helpful advice.
We had a beautiful time in the park. The property itself is gorgeous and Artâs home is clean, well-stocked, and cozy. Art himself is the best host Iâve ever had! Heâs personable and offers great advice on all things Yosemite-related. We will be back in the near future!
It is a super comfortable home! Very well insulated. New appliances and cooking wear. Fantastic mattress. Modern and forest views.
Beautiful location and by being at the end of a street super quite. I go to Yosemite about twice a year. I will rent it again
Beautiful architecture and decor. Photos are an accurate depiction of the property. Property cleanliness is impeccable. Art was available for assistance when needed. King bed is a memory foam mattress. Unit size and layout is perfect for a couple to share the space with a feeling of modern living surrounded by forest tranquility.
Art's place is the perfect combination of modern and cozy. Fantastic appliances and cookware, and with restaurants a bit of a drive that was a bonus as we loved cooking here. He has a drawer full of spices. The bed is among the most comfortable we have found in a VRBO. Art is so gracious, we happily invited him in for a glass of wine and some fascinating conversation about rock climbing and his other Yosemite passions. Do not miss the opportunity to book here if it's available...especially if Glacier Point Road is on your agenda. It's right up the road!
Brand new, modern, comfortable, high-end finishes set in a rustic, beautiful neighborhood tucked away from the chaos of the park, but just minutes from everything good about it. Art was a great host and the work he personally invested to make the place exactly what a vacation home should be is impossible to miss. Every detail is considered and well executed. I canât say enough great things about how ideal this place is in all regards. Over and above all reasonable expectations one could have for a rental.
Normally my husband and I stay at the Yosemite Lodge when visiting Yosemite, but because of the Coronavirus we opted for Art's lovely home. We used the kitchen exclusively for all of our meals. And after a restful sleep in the king size bed, we'd pack a lunch and sit by the River on the Valley floor, about a 15 minute drive for the day. The large flat screen tv and the comfortable leather couch is an added plus. Just enjoy
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Artâs property. The property is well maintained and every detail was thoughtfully put together by Art to make people feel at home while they are away. The property is nestled amongst the trees and all we could hear were birds chirping and a babbling brook behind the neighborhood. The bed is very comfortable and firm. The kitchen is fully equipped with top of the line appliances and cookware. Art is very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and more than happy to make recommendations for your stay. We loved the area and appreciated Artâs kindness.
Exquisite in EVERY way...! Beyond our expectations.
Photos can't come close to describing the beauty of this home. The outside is a captivating, elegant, European design. The inside has incredibly high ceilings & large windows all around which make it light & scenic from every part of the house. The artistry of the custom designed furniture and woodwork throughout the home is stunning. You will love staying in this exceptionally beautiful home. The owner has thought of everything to make it a relaxing retreat for his guests. I can't wait to go back!
This is the perfect getaway spot if you want a break from city life. Located within the gates of Yosemite National Park, you are in the middle of numerous spectacular attractions.
Starting: We drove to this Vrbo through Wawona Rd. during the peak sunset time, and the views were breathtaking.
In addition, Art ensured the space was meticulously cleaned. Everything was spotless.
Finally, the design was spacious, industrial, and yet comforting. We had the best sleep here and woke up to incredible forest views.
I would 100% recommend anyone interested in experiencing Yosemite to check out this place. We will be back in the future.
Artâs place was gorgeous, clean, and uncluttered. He was a great host and we appreciated his hiking recommendations and letting us use the washer and dryer during our stay.
The cabin is about 20 minutes from Yosemite Valley or Mariposa Grove. We stocked up on groceries at the closest town about an hour away, but there is also a grocery store in Yosemite Valley for things you forgot (including OTC meds, ready-to-eat food, etc).
The bed was more firm than Iâd normally prefer, but we were so tired from all the hiking that it didnât matter. I slept like a rock :) Art provides pillows of different firmness, hair dryer, coffee maker with lots of options of pods, satellite tv, and a lovely back porch (plus more). My husband said I outdid myself when I found Artâs place. We could not have chosen a better home base for our trip to Yosemite!
Art's home is even more beautiful than the pictures. Everything is curated with so much detail and love. The space has so much light and the high ceilings make it extra special. The bed is super comfortable. It has a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook. It also has a cute balcony where we had tea every morning and we even saw some deers. Art is a great host, responsive and kind, he lives next door and has the best recommendations of Yosemite. You are right inside the park so it alleviates part of the driving to the trailheads. Definitely would stay at Art's place over and over again!
If there is, the entire experience deserves it. The residence was immaculate, perfectly and wonderfully comfortable. The location within the park is a 5-star-plus attraction. We enjoyed spending time with Art, our host, who also provided great ideas for hikes in the park.
We loved staying in this property for our week in Yosemite! Art is a fantastic host, was very quick to answer all our questions, and even gave us great recommendations of places to visit while we were there.
The home is very stylish - in particular we enjoyed the woodsy cabinets and tables, the locally made kitchenware, and the many large windows that make it feel like you're in the woods.
The proximity to Yosemite Valley is also fantastic - it's only about a 30 minute drive to the Valley. And it's a beautiful drive, so if you're like us, you won't even mind having to make it every day.
Overall this is a great property to stay at while visiting Yosemite - would certainly recommend.
Great spot within the park with an easy drive into the village . Rental was super clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Definitely recommend !
Hello. My Name is Art Cormier and I am the owner and host for Art Haus Yosemite. My roots are in south Louisiana, the heart of Cajun Music, Gumbo and Crawfish. I am the father of Two daughters who are adults now and continue to teach me about life and how to use a cell phone. I have a passion for clever design, minimalist lifestyle and efficiency and have incorporated those ideas in this House. I completed the home in January 2020 after three years of construction. Three years is not typical for building a house but this house is not typical. I built this house myself and always opted for quality over expediency. Yosemite is a unique place on the planet and I am fortunate to live here and enjoy climbing, hiking and winter sports. I hope that your visit will be an inspirational experience.
Yosemite West is one of the most convenient places to stay when visiting the park. It is located inside the park gates but is private land on less than 10 miles from yosemite Valley floor.
