Looking for the best AirBnB Yosemite rentals that are actually inside the park? If so, this post will help you narrow down your search.
I put together this list of the best AirBnB Yosemite rentals to help you select a convenient location from which to explore the park.
If this is going to be your first visit to Yosemite National Park, I recommend spending at least three days exploring the many attractions inside the park. If you’re short on time, a Yosemite Road Trip is the perfect way to cover a lot of ground in just a day or two.
I believe these 10 Best AirBnBs Yosemite Rentals would all make a perfect base camp while you explore the park, so I hope you find one that works for you.
Above all else, have a fantastic time in Yosemite.

10 Best AirBnB Yosemite National Park Rentals

The 10 AirBnB Yosemite Rentals listed below are all located inside Yosemite National Park in an area called Yosemite West.
Yosemite West is located just off the park’s main road (Highway 41) and just before the turn off for Glacier Point Road. From the AirBnB Yosemite vacation rentals listed below, the drive to Yosemite Valley will take about 25 to 30 minutes.
Yosemite West is about 40 minutes from the Arch Rock Entrance and about 35 minutes from the South Gate Entrance. If you’re making the drive from South Lake Tahoe, the drive will be about 4 hours and 30 minutes.
In putting together this list, I focused on finding both modern and affordable rentals. To be honest, this was easier said than done. Due to their location inside the park, the prices reflect that convenience. Also, many of the rentals available are a bit dated or rustic.
That being said, I think I came up with a decent list of modern meets affordability. This list starts with the most affordable option and ends with the most expensive. Prices range from about $131 per night to about $504 per night, not including taxes and fees.
Please keep in mind prices will fluctuate significantly throughout the year. You should expect much higher prices during the busy summer months, which may not be the best time to visit Yosemite.
For lighter crowds and more affordability, considering planning your visit for spring or fall.
Traveling Soon? Don’t forget your travel insurance.
- Travel insurance is now more important than ever.
- Travel insurance is probably less than you think it is. (Ex. For a week in Spain next month I’m paying less than $62.00.)
- Travel insurance covers a lot more than you think it does.
- It’s better to have it, than need it and wish you’d bought it.
- See for yourself. Check prices here.

Quick Note: Many national park vacation rentals located inside park borders, such as AirBnBs, are managed by rental companies and not individuals. This is also the case here in Yosemite.
With that, you will notice many of the listings above are managed by the same host. It is my understanding this host is employed by the management company and not the owner of all these properties. Or, maybe he’s rich and bought up everything in Yosemite, you never know. 🙂
But just to clarify, I have no personal or financial relationship with this person or company. The properties included above are solely based on what I like and look for in a place to stay and I thought others might like them too.
Additional Considerations
Due to the remote location of AirBnB national park rentals, I’d like to mention a few additional considerations to keep in mind when making a reservation.
- In most cases, you should expect to have no cell phone service inside the park.
- Plan ahead to have printed copies of the address and entry instructions for your AirBnB prior to arrival. There is a good chance you will not be able to access your email once inside the park.
- Keep in mind that when hotels and AirBnB rentals advertise wifi, that it will not be of the speed and quality you have at home. Under most circumstances, you will not be able to stream movies or Netflix. Bring entertainment for the kids from home.
- Most of the accomodations listed have limited amenities compared to AirBnB rentals outside the national parks. For example, do not expect shampoo, conditioner, or a bottle of wine waiting for you when you arrive. This is more of a logistical and cost issue than anything else. It’s not that the host is not grateful for your visit.
- Pick up your groceries, snacks, drinks and alcohol outside the park. You will have limited access to groceries inside the park, and you do not want to pay Yosemite Valley prices. Don’t forget ice.
- Finally, keep an open mind and remain flexible. You’re visiting a remote and rugged environment, sometimes things do not go as planned. Just go with the flow and enjoy your time in this beautiful location.
I hope this post has helped you find the best AirBnBs in Yosemite National Park for your upcoming visit. If you’d like to support this blog please consider sharing this post. Thanks for reading.

Travel insurance is more important than ever. For just a few dollars a day you can protect yourself and your trip. I personally use World Nomads, but whomever you choose, don’t skip out on travel insurance. It can literally save you thousands of dollars.
