    Very close to Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove (~35 mins drive), and being inside the park meant avoiding traffic at the park gates. The room itself was very comfortable and clean and perfect for a couple.

Hi there! My name is Alexey. I am in my 40s, moved to US in 2015 for my work in Folsom CA. Few years ago we bought this home in Yosemite to get it up to our vision how perfect vacation should feel like Born in USSR I left to Israel right after the high school. Made my BSc in Electrical Engineering in Technion (in Hebrew!!). I love programming and fine mix of Electronics and Software. There in Israel I met a wonderful girl named Nila. She was born in Ukraine and came to Israel during her school years... We have three kids together now. We also have a dog, Russian Spaniel named Nala and a cat, Maine Coon named Lol. I have been working for Intel Semiconductors for more than 20 years and yet always wanted to have a thing of my own. Hosting is a first real opportunity to create a family business: a right mix of real estate investment, hard work, meeting with different people, hospitality and entrepreneurship. We are committed to our success. Working hard together on our vision and goals brought us closer and we have learned a lot about hospitality and ourselves. We will be happy to help you to make your Yosemite adventure memorable and your stay with us is peaceful and comfortable.
