Convenient to Yosemite, just 3 miles outside entrance. Great dining options onsite. We ate at the hotel all 3 nights. Pool area and game room had a great atmosphere and the fire places were all around the grounds at night. Really cozy place to hang with family or just your spouse!

Perfect combo of comfort and lodge feel

This property is AMAZING! It combines the perfect amount of luxury with lodge feel. The pool was very large and heated. The amount of activities for kids was wonderful. There was a playground with a little zip line, long slide and tire style swing. Multiple fire pits worn nightly marshmallow roasting. Two jacuzzis. The staff were extremely helpful and sought to make our stay wonderful. The grounds were well kept and very clean. The room was also very clean and comfortable. I would absolutely stay here again and look forward to doing so.

This lodging was a wonderful stay. Whether it be family or a couple, it has everything you need. From the pool to the 2 hot tubs. The Store has most everything you need. I highly recommend staying here when you come to visit Yosemite. The S'More's were off the hook complimentary. Close to the main entrance to Yosemite.

Needs better customer service. We stayed for 3 nights and our room was never cleaned although i requested it couple of times. Front desk service is lacking and they often say there’s nobody to help out. General store is pricey. Spa is lacking in service, pricey but not as expected. No shower room in the spa, could definitely use an upgrade and better customer service
