We had a four night stay with the host Karen and Ellie in Yosemite West High Sierra B&B. They are super friendly and knowledgable about the park and provide excellent recommendation. The facility of the B&B is top of the line, comfy bed, hot showers, satellite wifi, pay phone, tv etc. These are considered super luxury within the national park. The breakfast they provide is very fresh and tasty. They even have hiking poles, coolers and water bottle ready for you to borrow. What more can we say? We will surely come back in the future.

Room tip: B&B is about 30 mins drive to Glacier Point or Valley.

Karen and her daughter Allie were great in giving us recommendations on things to do each day including marking up laminated maps. Without their guidance, there was so much we would have missed, including Tioaga Pass views. Room was clean and comfortable and breakfasts every day were splendid. Convenient to Glacier Point Road for Sentinel Dome and Taft Point among others. Around 30 min to get to the Valley.

Great place to explore Yosemite - Karen and Ellie are fantastic hosts and know the park inside out! A few stairs to climb (60) to get in through the front day - which can be challenging having done some pretty serious hiking during the day. The valley was really crowded but our hosts could point us in the right direction. My advice is to stay here and avoid the traffic jams in the valley. Take lots of beer and a few snacks for the evenings. Great cooked breakfasts served at 8.15 am .....perfect start to the day. Thank you Karen and Ellie. Highly recommended.

When we contacted Karen for our spur of the moment trip she had room #5 available. The bathroom was across the hall - a short, private hall. We had some trepidations but booked the room. Honestly it was GREAT! Almost like an apartment. We took night lights and had no problem. The B&B is beautiful, very clean, roomy, and inviting. The king size bed was very comfortable. Karen and Ali (her daughter) gave us so much helpful information (like a concierge) down to where to eat on our way up and our return trip home. She helped us with hikes, what to bring, and most importantly which hikes to avoid the first day there :). Breakfasts were good and the sunsets were fabulous. Even with the 88 steps we would stay there again! Thanks Karen!!

Room tip: Only 5 rooms and they are all beautiful!

Just returned from a last-minute impromptu three day stay for our 20th anniversary. The bed-and-breakfast was fantastic. As mentioned in the other reviews, Karen was spot on on getting us on incredible trails. The lodge itself is very close to glacier point. And around the corner from the valley. You are technically outside the park, but you have to go into the park to get there. So you are a half an hour away from the valley instead of an hour and a half if you stay anywhere outside the park. You’re 13 miles from glacier point where incredible hikes begin.

In our 2 1/2 days, we hiked 36 miles of trails recommended by Karen all the more breathtaking. She even provided insider knowledge on how to get into little known and less traveled parts of the park which were equally stunning. We only enjoyed breakfast one day, heading out early to hike on the other days, outfitted with day packs, piled and portable breakfast items (yogurt, bagels, etc) provided by Karen

The biggest shortcoming to Yosemite High Sierra is also its strength. They have a draconian cancellation policy. Once you reserve your spot, you pay the full price, no cancellations. The upside to that, is that there is sometimes availability where most places in the valley are difficult to get on short notice. That said, it is such a wonderful place, and she is such a wonderful host, that it still fills up. But it did allow for us to get a last-minute reservation. We have recommended it now to all of our friends, and look forward to returning!
