Dream vacations come in as many shapes, sizes, and versions as the vacationers themselves. For some, a dream vacation involves theme parks and beach days, while for others it involves theater, museums, and fancy restaurants. The ones we at Love Yosemite! want to talk to today are the people who dream about spending their daylight hours exploring a landscape filled with giant waterfalls, giant trees, and giant hills just waiting to be climbed, the ones who feel at home in nature, and at the end of the day, crave the simple beauty of cabin. Built of wood and glass, these structures blend into the rugged countryside while providing comforts not just for our bodies, but for our hearts and our souls, and this guide to our cabin rentals in Yosemite will show you that yes, vacation dreams can come true.

The Concept Never Changes
The concept behind a cabin has never changed, even as the amenities and conveniences found inside (and out) have evolved over the centuries, and when you catch your first glimpse of the wood and glass structure rising from the landscape, you will feel many of the same feelings our country’s early settlers felt when they laid down their tools, stepped back, and caught their first glimpse of the log cabins that would be their homes. Most of our cabins aren’t made of logs and chink, but some are, and when you step inside the spaces that will be your home for the next week or so of your life, the interiors will be far more sophisticated, far more luxurious, and more welcoming, so what are you waiting for? Punch in your code, open that door, and let your Yosemite vacation begin!
Filled with Light
The main difference between our cabins and those earlier ones is the light. In those days, times were unsettled and windows were often looked at as dangerous access, so there would have been very few, but in your Love Yosemite! cabin, we want you to have as many unobstructed views of the countryside as possible, and when you step inside the light will light up your soul. Wood, tile, or even concrete floors create pathways to rooms that invite you in, welcoming tired travelers with simple luxuries, fireplaces (or woodburning stoves), colorful rugs that feel soft against bare feet and provide protection for the knees of crawling toddlers, and those windows.
Every room offers another angle to enjoy the beauty of the Yosemite landscape and as you stand in the living room, you may forget the log beams that traverse the ceilings, the planked walls that rise up to those ceilings, even the state of the art television that is mounted on the wall above the mantel, answering the call of the countryside that beckons you through those windows.
Modern and Updated Cabin Rentals in Yosemite
We do love the rustic charm of the log cabins we have read about or perhaps even visited, but on vacation, we want more. We want fully equipped kitchens furnished with modern appliances, including the all-important dishwasher. We want breakfast bars to sit at and sip that first cup of coffee every morning, and we want coffee makers that brew the “black gold” quickly and easily, and we want refrigerators with ice makers and water dispensers, all of which our cabin rentals in Yosemite will provide. In the bathrooms, showerheads may be rain shower ones, bath tubs may be jetted, and the thick and fluffy towels, although not technically a modern convenience, will feel soft against your skin.
Continuing the theme in our bedrooms, there may be televisions resting on bureaus and of course, Wi-Fi that will let guests work from the cabin if they need to, or simply allow them to scroll through their favorite social media sites, updating their statuses and posting fabulous pics of their California adventures. And outside, where you park your car, another thoroughly modern surprise may be discovered, that of an EV charger, showing that even as we love the simple life, we appreciate the modern conveniences of today.
More to Explore
The original inhabitants of log cabins didn’t have a lot of time for play, but that isn’t the case for today’s travelers, and our cabins offer many different ways in which you can play. Bookshelves will hold books, of course, but the shelves will also be lined with board games and DVDs, and in the cabins with game rooms, a whole world of fun can be had. Featuring arcade games, gaming consoles, and a wide variety of gaming tables, including pool, ping pong, or foosball, these rooms will be the most popular spaces in the cabin. Outside you may find swimming pools, hot tubs, firepits, barbecues, multiple seating options, and views that will burrow their way into your heart and soul.
