"This lodge was WONDERFUL. The details throughout the property were gorgeous and high end. The staff was helpful and friendly. The location is literally 2 minutes from the Big Oak Flat Entrance and then a scenic 30 minute drive down to the main attractions at Yosemite valley. Also, I didn’t bring my 4 year old, but I SHOULD HAVE! They had playgrounds (indoor and outdoor), s’mores every day, heated pool, games (indoor and outdoor), crafts, on site hikes, etc. I will say the drinks at the bar were pricey. $20+, but they sold beer and wine in the gift shop so that was more up my alley."

"We really enjoyed our stay. It’s a beautiful property in the forest, fun for kids, relaxing for adults. It is an old property, but very cozy. Pretty good restaurant and tavern on site, and great general store with all essentials. Takes about an hour to get to Yosemite Valley. "

"Property was beautiful and the rooms were gorgeous. Food was delicious. However, the service in the 1 dining area was hit or miss - on a busy night, we waited for over 20 minutes and then eventually got the bartender to serve us."

"Keep in mind you're staying here because you don't want to tent camp in Yosemite. The perk of this lodge is the views to the mountain stream out your back door. I'm sure, when it was built, this lodge was gorgeous. It is now very dated and run down. There were a couple pools out of order. The indoor pool was extremely warm. The hot tubs weren't functioning. The restaurants on site are not run by the hotel. Do yourself a favor and don't eat and the restaurant, buy food at their store and make it in your room. There was a lightly stocked kitchen in our room, no microwave, but a two burner stove. The fireplace worked and was wonderful. The bed was comfortable and room was large. Our two person jetted tub and double shower head was functional but the drain didn't work. You have to ask for housekeeping to come by. Again, this is the best option to stay extremely close to the park entrance without sleeping in a tent or cabin. There are no elevators so keep that in mind when booking a room. If you have lots of stuff to carry after hiking all day, request a first floor room. We had adequate wifi. The room served it's purpose but is overpriced for the age of the facility. Regardless, the best option we found. "

"nice location, no breakfast"

"First experience wasn’t great as the staff member that checked us in wasn’t at all helpful. This instantly created a negative impact on the start of our trip. We could hear another staff member being very welcoming, super friendly and giving his guests lots of useful information, it was just unfortunate we got someone who clearly couldn’t be bothered making even the smallest effort."

"Separate duplex cabins scattered on a forested hillside. Rustic stairs between facilities can be challenging for older people. Very quiet. Good food and varied menu, but noisy restaurant during peak hours."

"Clean room, Friendly staff, cute cabin."

"The room and exterior in front of the room were not as clean as we would like. It looked like the photos. Although there were no amenities on site, it was jointly owned with a nearby hotel and guests could use the pool and facilities there. It was the only motel unit, and was close to the road, so after it rained, the cars were loud. Definitely a close location for visiting Yosemite. "
