Our cabin room was fabulous, clean and comfortable, with amazing views. The facilities were great and there was a lovely family friendly atmosphere. We enjoyed the pool (sipping a beer from the poolside bar whilst my kids swam!), the games room and s'mores by the fire pit. There was more to enjoy, such as the zip wire, table tennis and climbing wall, but sadly we didn't fit it all in as we were also enjoying exploring Yosemite! I cannot recommend Rushcreek Lodge more highly.

Highly recommend!
New-ish property with a rustic feel but full amenities. Very nice staff. Cool game room and outdoor play area for kids and preteens. Kids buffet dinner choices were a hit with my 7 year old. Guided tour of Yosemite with our guide Chris was great! Highly recommend Rush Creek Lodge.

Staff on numerous occasions failed to take gluten allergy seriously enough, leading to my wife being ill. The manager once told did take this on board and said more training would be done. But for a high cost, high value resort this shouldn't have been neccesary.

Beautiful Property
The staff at reception could not have been more friendly or welcoming. They were a breath of fresh air after a long day of traveling and they greeted us each day as we passed the reception area. Wish the woman working in the area that sells food, drinks, brkfst food etc. was half as friendly as the reception staff. Sadly she should be in a customer facing job.

GIVE LINDA A RAISE IMMEDIATELY
We came to Rush Creek for our wedding and the staff were able to pull off a last minute private dining room for us. I don’t normally write reviews but I had to for our INCREDIBLE waitress (and photographer) Linda. She went above and beyond to make sure my family felt special and celebrated.

Mixed experience
Lovely hotel, lovely pool, great buildings, but eye-wateringly expensive for what it is. Poor choice of healthy options for kids for a family hotel. Also, we had a device stolen from us while on the premises which was not really the hotel’s fault, but extremely disappointing.
