Elmers Hideout Fully Renovated Yosemite Escape

Expensive for me? Yes. Did I book last minute though? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes! NOTE: There is a landline phone in the building! Our lock code didn’t work until hours later. I called the number provided via building phone (no service otherwise). They were responsive, helpful, and got us in quickly. I wanted a more cabin feel, but most of those places aren’t as clean & furniture looks over used & dusty. I went with cleanliness instead. They have more kitchenware than expected, bonus: spices & maybe some cooking oil. Overall, great experience, I’d stay here again.

Great spot and perfect for a Yosemite trip when you need a reservation for the park. Cleanest airbnb in the park probably and really nice and updated!

Great studio condo in Yosemite West, very close to Glacier Point Road. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, just the right size for two people. I'd definitely return. Only a couple small issues - there is no A/C (as the listing correctly states), but we were there during an October heat wave and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't that comfortable either. Only window available is a sliding patio door which faces the parking lot - so no privacy. Also strange, only 2 bath towels and 1 hand towel for 2 people for 3 days. Sure there is a coin-op laundry room nearby but that's not convenient when you're out all day. Plenty of washcloths though. I would definitely return, but would bring my camp towels next time.

We stayed here during our trip to Yosemite to get married! It was such a great spot, perfect location between Glacier Point and the Valley. The condo was so clean and had everything you could need! Everything was so comfortable and cozy and it was truly a great experience. It looked exactly how it was shown in the photos. Great patio, it does face the parking lot but still quiet and enjoyable! Communication was quick and answered our questions and reached out to check in on our stay! Would absolutely visit again. Thank you!!

The place was exactly as advertised. Great location in the park with modern amenities. Had a fully equipped kitchen and nice patio to sit outside. Was ~30 minute to multiple trailheads which was a huge plus. Access to laundry was also a nice benefit. That said, staying during a hot time of the year is not great for this particular unit, as you cannot leave the sliding door open at night to cool things down (unless you want to attract wildlife). Other units in this building have second floor balconies or windows, so those probably are easier to work with. We couldn’t cook in the apartment because we couldn’t afford to generate heat, so had to grill exclusively. Still, great place to stay!

It was a clean & great place to stay within a close proximity to everything in the park.

I still rank this cosy and well-designed place five stars. Since the location is perfect and all the furniture or amenities you can enjoy here are at a higher value than you paid. I highly recommend this place. However, we encountered some issues getting into the place, as the host gave us the wrong password, or perhaps the lock didn't work (the check mark didn't work). We slept in the car for 2 hours until staff came to open the door for us. Anyway, I will suggest future guests check in as early as possible so you can be supported during the daytime while having check-in problems.

The property was exactly as listed in the pictures and was a perfect location between Yosemite valley and mariposa grove. The appliances in the property all seemed new and well maintained. When we had an issue with the lock on our 3rd day, the property manager was quick in helping us. Would stay here again.

This is a nice property but I feel was oversold online. It’s so well stocked so we really appreciated that. However, the bed, bedding… etc is of quite poor quality and it definitely could have been cleaner. In terms of the location, whilst it might be obvious to some, this is at least a 30 minute drive from the main areas in the National Park, so just a warning!
