Yosemite Shuteye, a most romantic getaway...

"Waking up in the yurt is like waking up in a giant cup cake!" Guest, Thor Arnold 2024 Yosemite Shuteye is as it sounds; a most private out-of-the-way delight of two parts - the yurt connected by cedar decking to a hand-hewn cookhouse with an airy 3/4-bath and a fully stocked kitchen. A seasonal fire pit is a favorite place to star gaze and eat smores to your hearts content. The space is yours and yours alone. Very private, quiet and not shared. Yours alone. "For best results stay longer"
