Vernal Vista - Mountain Views, Deck & Wood Stove

Step inside and the scent of pine follows you in. Knotty pine paneling and beamed wood ceilings wrap the home in warmth, a wood stove anchors the living room, and tall windows frame nothing but tree trunks and sky. Set across two levels in the Yosemite West community, Vernal Vista puts you inside Yosemite National Park with room to spread out. Spend the morning planning hikes over breakfast at the bar, then come back at golden hour to grill on the deck as the pines catch the last light.

Bedroom 1 features a king bed plus a twin bed tucked into built-in wood shelving, making it a natural fit for parents traveling with a little one. Wood-paneled walls, a brick accent, built-in bookshelves, and two windows looking into the trees give this spacious room real cabin character. Bedroom 2 offers a queen bed and a cozy retreat for a couple or a pair of adventurers, with windows that open onto the surrounding pines. Bedroom 3 features a king bed, ideal for a second couple who want their own quiet space after a day on the trails. Throughout the bedrooms you will find Yosemite touches like framed Ansel Adams prints, a mountain tapestry, an exposed wood-beam ceiling, knotty pine doors, a walk-in closet, and windows that fill with forest light. Bathrooms Two full bathrooms keep mornings moving. The primary bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, and a second bathroom serves the upper level. Rustic barnwood walls and ceilings give one bath a true mountain lodge feel, with a long vanity, large mirror, natural light from the window, and a tub and shower combo for soaking tired legs after a long hike. Another bath pairs wood-paneled walls with a vanity and bulb-lit mirror. Living Areas The open living room is where everyone lands. Sink into the large sectional with your feet up on a tiled coffee table, claim the leather armchair and ottoman, or pull close to the wood stove on a chilly evening. Beamed wood ceilings and knotty pine paneling glow in the lamplight, tall windows face the trees, and a flat-screen TV is ready for movie night. A sliding door leads straight out to the deck. Kitchen & Dining The kitchen flows right into the living space, so the cook never misses the conversation. White cabinetry, granite countertops, a cooktop island under a black range hood, and a wall oven make easy work of family dinners, while two stools at the granite peninsula invite early risers to linger over coffee. A large window over the sink frames tall pines as you rinse dishes, and the dishwasher handles the rest. You will also find a microwave, coffee maker, blender, toaster, baking sheet, and wine glasses. An oval wooden table with six spindle-back chairs sits under a chandelier near the wood stove for hearty meals together. Deck Slide open the glass door and step into the treetops. The sunny wooden deck holds a round table with six chairs, surrounded by tall pines and open blue sky, with a BBQ grill for burgers after a day in the park. It is the spot for morning coffee and evening gatherings with distant mountain ridges visible through the trees. Patio furniture and the BBQ are stored away for the season from October to April.
