Great family friendly resort near northern entrance of Yosemite. Most commonly visited park sites are 45-1 hour 15 minutes from the hotel. Great amenities including a game room, pool, outdoor play area. Staff at the recreation desk was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us plan our days. Food is resort pricing but as expected.

We stayed here for my kids birthday wee in April 2026. For 5nights costing 2100$ While everything is great what really bothered me was poor housekeeping . You hike the whole day come tired and your rooms are not cleaned . They told us they will clean alternate days I said ok . But even then it was not. If you’re charging 400$ a night the least you can do is have good housekeeping. Spa was good . Kids play area great . Food obviously expensive and very less to choose from . But they have a store to pick snacks or coffee from. It’s a good 1 time go. Thanks

What a truly incredible experience for a family with young children or for a gathering for a family traveling from different places. We enjoyed staying on the property during the day and were never at a loss for ways to enjoy ourselves and one another. There are many options for food that were healthy or not so healthy depending on what we wanted. The property was quiet, spacious and absolutely beautiful. Only, one suggestion: there was an odor coming from the plumbing that was not pleasant.

Nice heated pool. The food was excellent at the restaurant and the lodge store had a big selection of food, drinks, and souvenirs. The balconies are a great place to relax. FYI, the lodge is 2.5 hours from the west and south entrances to Yosemite. The road is slow and curvy through the mountains.

All around great facility, bar, and restaurant. Most staff really helpful. Some were having a bad day. Ate breakfast daily for 4 days. Always tasty, full coffee cup. Last day not so much but the manager listened and took care of the cold food and empty coffee. This was an exception but including it because of the manager who was great.

Beautiful property. The rooms and common areas were very clean. There pool/spa area was not crowded. There is not much to choose from food-wise. There is only one restaurant and one large bar, but they serve the same food. The menu does not change. Food was ok, but they had a great wine, beer, and alcohol selection. Most of the staff were amazing except Victoria, a server at the restaurant. She was super rude to us when we asked her to split our check. The survey the night before did it with no problem, but Victoria refused. I had 2 rooms, and neither were cleaned/turned-down, even after I had asked. Fro the price you pay, this should not have been a problem for them to do.
