Premier Yosemite/Foresta home with views of Half Dome and El Cap from all rooms!
Rocky Point Guest House is a family owned and operated home located inside Yosemite National Park in the small community of Foresta. We're 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. While we have rented our property via another site for nearly 20 years with many returning guests, we are new to VRBO.
The two mile road to the property was a bumpy ride but we loved the feeling of being out in what felt like a remote location despite other homes nearby. The valley view is nice to wake up to and watch the sun set on. It was also very convenient to get to the sights we wanted to visit. We only had one night where the sky was clear and dark, but what a treat! We thoroughly enjoyed the decor throughout the house and it was more than well stocked. We felt right at home and were very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your special home with such neat decor with us! It was worth going over our usual budget to stay here!
Beautiful home with gorgeous views. Had everything we needed plus extras to cook meals. Loved the patio and grill! Extra comfy beds. Perfect stay and really made our vacation!
We loved the house and the view. Everything was just as described. Lynda was a perfect host. Answering all questions etc promptly. We would definitely stay there again if in the park. Itâs also really great to be staying inside the park.
Everything was easy! Communication w/ owner was great, property was clean & in excellent condition. Rocky Point sits by itself ⊠who knew(!) on a rocky point - a good distance from nearest neighbors, whom you canât see or hear. The only (welcome) disturbances were the ravinâ Raven who (repeatedly) stopped by begging for food (breakfast, lunch & dinner), & the bobcat hunting gophers & field mice. Just the kind of folks you want to share Foresta/Yosemite with!
Beautiful setting just minutes from Yosemite Valley. Accommodations were comfortable and relaxing. Very quiet and peaceful with beautiful views. Host was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend for visiting Yosemite National Park.
Me and my friends stayed for few days while hiking at Yosemite. The house has stunning views and quite close to Yosemite (10-15 mins). We had a great time
Beautiful and fully equipped home with stunning views and property. Extremely peaceful and private, with only a 25 minute gorgeous drive to Yosemite Village. Lynda was a gracious host who sincerely cared about our experience. We loved our stay and highly recommend this property.
The drive in to the park was incredible, we were coming in at the beginning of winter so were a bit worried about snow and ice but drove carefully. When we arrived to say we were blown away by the peace and tranquility would be an understatement. The view every day of the dome/valley and hills are incredible! The house is so cosy warm even with -8 degrees outside. The hosts have been nothing but incredible. There was a local power outage for a few hours that we required a bit of help from Hayley and Lynda and they were so attentive and helpful with an issue that wasnât anything to do with them.
Definitely hire a car and not a mustang in winter like we did. Made for a few scary moments. Get a 4 wheel drive truck as if the park put a r1 chain notice up you may still be ok to drive.
All in all donât hesitate on booking this place. The peace is perfect and your just far enough to be away from the hustle of the village for a relax in the evening.
Ideal house for a family trip to Yosemite!! In the park! Great views and sunsets are unreal. Great communication throughout the process. Well stocked with basics and lacked nothing! Would rent again 1000%!
My now-husband and I stayed at Lynda's phenomenal property during our elopement in Yosemite, and words and pictures truly don't do this place justice. The views are breathtakingly beautiful, the place is spacious and clean, and you have everything you could possibly need. The porch space is phenomenal and drinking coffee in the mornings out there while looking out at El Cap and Half Dome was priceless. The house was perfect for our elopement as we had easy access to all of the park, plenty of rooms for us to get ready separately and do a proper "first look", and a perfect kitchen with everything needed by the private chef we hired to cook us a celebratory elopement night dinner. Lynda's place will always hold a special place in our hearts and we can't imagine a more perfect setting for our intimate celebration!
Our stay at Rocky Point was amazing. Beautiful views, perfect night skies, easy access to all parts of Yosemite, and we were all over the park in our time there. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Lynda was so easy to work with, very responsive and accommodating. Would highly recommend a stay here, and I would stay again for sure!
This property is amazing: The views, the wildlife (we saw deer, heard coyotes very nearby), and the home itself. The home is very clean, in perfect condition, and comfortable - and itâs IN Yosemite National Park, a short drive from Yosemite Valley and other parts of the park. You wonât regret staying here.
Our stay at Premier Yosemite/Foresta was amazing! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck watching the sunrise and sitting on the deck in the evening after a long day at Yosemite. The drive up to the home is a little tricky but it is well worth it once you arrive. The home was well stocked with all the basic essentials that we needed, and Ms. Lynda communicated well with us before we arrived so that we could make a grocery stop well before arriving in order to have what we needed. She also provided lots of information for the area as well as maps and some magazines for us to look at. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely book a stay here. Thank you, Lynda, for everything!
Perfect Place To Stay On Our First Trip To Yosemite
This home in Foresta was perfect for our 3-night stay in Yosemite. The home is located inside the park so we didnât have the long drive in and out each day. Itâs fully stocked for everything we needed to grill in the evenings and enjoy coffee in the mornings. The beds and sheets were extremely comfortable, the house was spotless and the views were gorgeous. I spend a lot of time reviewing possible rentals on VRBO by reading comments and checking locations and I highly recommend this home. Tip â Yosemite does have a small grocery inside the park (The Village Store) which was nicely stocked, however, a little pricey. We picked up basics on our first night there then headed into Mariposa the morning of day 2 for our picnic & dinner supplies. Thank you Lynda for sharing your beautiful home to make Yosemite even more enjoyable.
Amazing place just a 20-30min drive from the village. Property was so good we actually spent more time there than planned soaking up the views from the deck. Sunrise seeing the rays appear over Half dome were unforgettable.
Perfect place for us to stay and visit Yosemite! The views were amazing and the owner was very responsive. We loved spending the day hiking in the park and then returning to cook dinner at Rocky Point.
We really enjoyed our stay here! It was nice to come back to a peaceful place with the best views after the hectic crowds down in the valley! The house is even better in person than the pictures show. We experienced a California blackout one night. Lynda was so kind to check on us to make sure we were ok and we knew where supplies were during the outage. The covered back porch was so pleasant to sit at night even with record breaking temperatures. It was also nice to cook outside on the grill every night and eat outside as that side of the porch was shaded at dinner time. I would highly recommend staying here!
I have been lucky to live in Yosemite for 50+ years, working and raising my children here. Over the past 20 years, I have loved getting to share our family's Rocky Point Guest House in this unique location with guests from around the world.
Foresta is a magical place - very close to the valley floor of Yosemite and yet far enough from the crowds to be calm, quiet, and serene. Our property has amazing views of El Cap and Half Dome.
