This place is awesome the staff is great the Villa we stayed in was beautiful we got to se some deer. The only bad thing is there is no other restaurants around the area so you are kinda stuck ordering from the restaurant in the Hotel. The food is ok not great the prices I would say a bit over the edge. But if you can afford it go for it. But I’d recommend bringing food and snack instead.

We loved staying here for our Yosemite visit! Our kids had such a great time between the kids area and the pool! The water pressure in our room was really poor, leaving a film of soap on the tile and making is super slippery but staff said they would address it! Otherwise, the stay was perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at Rush Creek Lodge, and I especially want to recognize Stephanie. She has a rare gift — she took genuine time with every person she interacted with, never rushing and never delaying, making each guest feel like the most important person in the room. Stephanie truly went above and beyond to take care of my family’s needs, anticipating things before we even asked and doing it all with warmth and grace. That level of care made our stay feel personal, relaxed, and memorable. Incredible hospitality, beautiful property, and exceptional staff. We can’t wait to return.

We had a great one-bedroom suite, that was very clean and well stocked. The lodge is beautiful, with lots of activities & gathering places. I love that there are no TVs—our family played games, used the hots tubs and spa, hung out and read in the cozy common lounge, and made s’mores (provided by the lodge) every night at the firepit. The staff was also very pleasant and helpful. The only complaints are the sofa bed (not comfortable) and the finicky coffee maker in the room. 100%recommend the Rush Creek Lodge!!

So many personal highlights! Fantastic pool to swim laps in between hot soaks, day and night. Beautiful mountain setting quite close to Yosemite, with hikes. Very family friendly and also solo friendly. Lodge store full of surprises (like $4 bagels with all the trimmings). Espresso. Cozy balconies. Vast common spaces with many games and lovely ranch furnishings. Friendly staff! Good deals offered at certain times - great value. Free s’mores! Loved the indoor spa which is also full if surprises and is a good value. Love sitting on natural rock “chair” underneath hot salt waterfall.Hanging bed. Many rooms with different ways to offer deep relaxation. Very memorable. Wish I was there right now:)
