THE DOGWOOD ROOM AT THE YOSEMITE PEREGRINE LODGE
The Dogwood room will delight and enchant you with its charming decor. This room is located at the Peregrine Lodge in Yosemite West just 20 minutes from the valley floor.
Each of our rooms has a private entrance with private shower & bathroom, outdoor deck, custom gas fireplaces, and more. This room has the added feature of a custom oversized whirlpool bathtub for two.
Please note, we are not a bed and breakfast.
For those of you who love the winter in Yosemite, you will love the easy access to snow and snow activities. We are only 20 minutes by car to the Badger Pass Ski Area for cross country, snow shoeing, snow play, and downhill skiing. On large storms, cross country ski right out from the lodge.
At just over 6000 feet, our lodge will get more snow than the Valley itself. If you want to have a higher probability of being in the snow, you will want to be in Yosemite West.
The benefits of staying at our home inside Yosemite National Park are many. By actually being inside the National Park gates, you avoid the long lines going in and out of the entrance stations. At peak season, this can be an hour or more wait time just to enter the park. This allows you to experience leisurely mornings enjoying the peace and solitude of our quiet community before taking off to see the many attractions in the park.
Returning from a day of rigorous hiking and sauntering in the valley? Ice skating at Curry Village? Cross country skiing on our groomed and un-groomed trails? or Down hill skiing at the local ski resort? You will be happy to know home is just a short drive away.
We offer a clean, well maintained lodge that is the ideal home base for your Yosemite experience. Please, no smoking, no pets.

OUR HOME
The Yosemite Peregrine Lodge is a multi-level 3200 square foot home. We offer the entire home as a vacation rental between April 1 and December 31 each year. During this time the lodge is suitable for couples, families and executive retreats for up to 8 people.
During the winter months, January through the end of March, the individual rooms are available to rent for one or 2 guests each room.
Unusual for most homes in the Yosemite West community, the Peregrine Lodge is situated on a rather level area. This means you do not have to negotiate the steep stairs that earmark many houses.
Entering the home through a door on the same level as the parking, you will find easy access to the lodge and our guest rooms.
PARKING
We have guest parking for 3 midsize vehicles in driveway. We cannot accommodate RVs in the winter due to snow and ice conditions.
SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS
Each bedroom has both interior and exterior entries. They each have their own sink and shower, entry to their own private deck area, and a unique and beautiful floor to ceiling fireplace. One of the bedrooms even has a jet tub.
Our unique and cozy rooms are thematic in nature. The Peregrine Lodge is regarded as a quiet escape and romantic getaway for most of our guests, and we work hard to foster that environment.
Therefore, it is not an appropriate place for children under 14. Persons who are not registered guests are not permitted on the property. Our guests do not have visitation rights.

There are markets, cafeterias, coffee shops and restaurants located in the valley just 20 minutes away by car from the lodge.
HOME ENTERTAINMENT
We provide satellite TV and DVD players in each bedroom. There are also books and board games available.
INTERNET AVAILABILITY
We offer WiFi to our guests. You will find the password in the guest notebook in the room. Due to being at 6,000 feet of elevation surrounded by forest, the internet connection can be challenging at times. Please no streaming or downloading of large files. The internet is meant for you to be able to email, text and stay connected. Thanks for your consideration.
This is an ideal home for those who are seeking upscale cozy winter accommodations inside Yosemite.
