The room was clean and had nice amenities. Unfortunately this property had very offensive outdoor lights that they left on uselessly all night long even that ridiculous light on the porch of our cabin which we could not turn off. It made sitting on the porch horrible. You could not see a single star because of the inappropriate offensive bright outdoor lighting. HOrrible. WOuld never stay there again.

We stayed 4 nights at Buck Meadows Lodge. We enjoyed the close proximity to Yosemite. We also enjoyed several meals at the Lucky Buck Cafe that was near our room. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. Would stay here again!
