An excellent place to stay close to Yosemite entrance! Very nice and very family friendly property. Lots of great family activity opportunities. Great food at their restaurants. All in all an excellent place to stay.
Very nice and relaxing location, near to Yosemite park gate. Lodge rooms are very inviting and beds were very comfortable, we family of four had a very good time especially there was no TV in the room which made us spent more time exploring nature. Will definitely visit again.
This resort was an absolute dream. The property is gorgeous and well-configured, and the staff is beyond kind and warm. The entire experience was rife with wonderful hospitality and we were glad we ate at the restaurant and partook of the day spa. This time was a couples’ trip; but were already on planning on returning with the entire family!
The grounds and rooms were clean and staff was friendly. Went during a slow season so we were able to take advantage of almost every amenity such as the pool, hot tubs, s’mores, rec room, Spa, zip lines etc.
Our stay at Rush Creek Lodge was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and truly attentive, making us feel right at home. The views surrounding the lodge are breathtaking, especially with the beautiful nature and mountains all around.
The amenities were fantastic—there was so much to enjoy, and everything was thoughtfully designed to make the stay relaxing and fun. One of the highlights of our trip was watching the sunset, which was absolutely stunning and made the experience even more memorable.
If you’re visiting the area near Yosemite National Park, I highly recommend staying here. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, adventure, and beautiful scenery. We can’t wait to come back!
Great location for Yosemite sight seeing. Very nice sunset views from all over the property. Most amenities (specifically pool/spa) accessible 24x7! Villa rooms are spacious and comfortable for 4.
Dinner menu was excellent (duck legs, wings, fried cauliflower, Cioppino, salmon, Caesar salad were all standouts). Breakfast though is pretty over priced, and nothing special. Spa was great after days of hiking. Hot waterfall tub was a unique standout.
The negatives were several amenities (2nd hot tub, most of the game room games - pinball, bubble jockey) were broken/needed maintenance, and being in a ground floor villa there was a lot of noise from the room above, so ask for a second floor villa if available.
Great amenities! The views are beautiful! Great location. We had dinner at the hotel in the restaurant and the food was amazing! Definitely booking again
My family and I had a great time at Rush Creek resort and spa. Staff was great! Everyone was very friendly from check-in to the serves at the bar and the restaurant. Highly recommend.
The location of the hotel is outstanding, with beautiful views of the mountains and gorgeous sunsets; and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Sublime on all accounts and one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. The location is breathtaking, facilities as good as they get and I can’t wait to return.
I loved the room, I love the staff, and I love the 24 hour hot tub in pool, I did the spa and that was a beautiful experience. I would say hands-down I’m definitely coming back.
