the
Yosemite Trestlewood Chalet
Our house may look modest from the driveway...
...but you'll find it's actually quite large.
It's perched on a steep hillside nestled in the trees ...
...with footpaths winding through terraced gardens.
Sturdy trestlewood beams support the roof and walls...
...leaving room for large windows that face East towards the morning sun.
On the main deck you'll still be among the trees...
...yet up high enough for great views.
You can see all the way across the Lewis Creek valley.
Wake up early enough and you can catch the sunrise!
Our home is located on a steep forested slope just across the highway from the Narrow Gauge Inn and the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. Even on the warmest summer days, up here there is nearly always a cool mountain breeze blowing and plenty of shade all day long.
You can enjoy your lunch on our private decks and enjoy the
nostalgic sounds of the the railroad. It's
a great place to imagine what it was like to live and work in
these hills as the loggers did more than a century ago!
After dinner you can watch a DVD or curl up with a book from our library, perhaps to learn more about the colorful history of the Yosemite area or maybe just to enjoy good stories with family and friends.
Outside features of our property include:
- More than an acre of private, forested hillside
- Conveniently located just off of Highway 41
