Great location outside of Yosemite. The room is clean and updated. Cute property with small playground, pool, hot tub, and several areas for outdoor eating. Lucky Buck Diner next door is great for food and alcohol.

This is an amazing option for a stay in Yosemite. The lodge is clean and modern and only 20 minutes from the best entrance to the park. Do not miss the adjoining restaurant as it is absolutely delicious ams the menu is expansive. .

Checking in receptionist was curt and unfriendly. First room refrigerator did not work. They accommodated our request to move. Room adequate in size. Refresh was limited…we were there for 3 nights. Not all towels were exchanged and soap dispenser was empty for shower. Good location to Yosemite park. Quiet and nice outdoor sitting/pool. Great restraunt next door…walkable!

This property met all the expectations I had from reading previous reviews. The only issue we had was that we couldn't access our T-Mobile cell service without first logging into the property's wireless system. And we had satisfactory service with the wireless, but didn't task it with any heavy lifting.

This small hotel was such a nice surprise on our way from San Francisco to Yosemite! The rooms had been completely upgraded and they have thought of everything… phone and watch charger options by the bed, multiple off-floor places for suitcases, pump products in the shower and even for lotion, clean floor instead of marginal carpets. Cute surroundings with outside sitting options. Last stop before you pay the high prices in the Park! Excellent value too.
