First off, we were traveling with our dog Trooper! Hotel Was dog friendly and even welcomed him with a treat on our bed. We were traveling with two kids, two adults and a dog and the room was spacious, clean and had a B&B vibe with an awesome old school tub which my kids loved after a long day on our feet at Yosemite! Check-in was easy and personable, with accommodations for communal fridge, microwave and toaster... there was always access to coffee and tea and hot cocoa! Next to the hotel there is a restaurant open on Thursdays to Sundays, right out on your right is an authentic Mexican restaurant and on your left is an amazing breakfast coffee shop!! Down the street maybe an 8 minute walk is a wonderful creamery with yummy flavors like black licorice and taro!! Thanks Finn for a warm stay!!

The manager and her hostesses were very sufficient and friendly. We got an outdoor table. We loved their selection of mocktaiks and tried a few though their specialty cocktails were also very good. My son tried What the Fig. My wife had Piba-Co- N ada. I had the Magar- Bada. Fior apoetizers, we had the Wild Mushroom Flatbread, which was delicious. We also had a board of Californua Cheese, the Smoked Wings, and the Crispy Cauliflower, which appears just like Firecracker Shrimp. I loved the Bison Chilli, but I got so stuffed afterward and had to oack my Fish n Chip to go. King Salson with bok chop and mushroom was great. Cicopini, which has several seafood with garlic bread sticks in tomato sauce was impressive. Mushroom Regu and Beet Sakad were delicioysly perfect for vegans Our servers were super friendly on a busy night. We were so glad to find this place on our trip to Yosemite. Reservations are highly recommended.

Unfortunately, no one has been able to assist me when I call. I was told that I needed to email the restaurant manager, Rachel T., but she has not responded to any of my emails. I also left a voicemail, which has not been returned. What happened today was especially unacceptable. I called and spoke with an assistant manager named Sarah. I explained my frustration and asked whether she could assist me or connect me with the restaurant manager. I also explained that one of the reasons we chose this lodge was because it could accommodate our group and had an on-site restaurant, which is especially convenient when traveling with multiple families and children. Sarah's response was shockingly rude and unprofessional. She laughed aloud and said, "You booked here for this restaurant, not to see Yosemite?" I then asked to speak with a manager because her response was completely inappropriate. Before the issue could be addressed, the call was disconnected. After nearly a month of unanswered emails, an unreturned voicemail, and this extraordinarily disrespectful interaction, I am extremely disappointed. Rush Creek Lodge urgently needs to retrain its managers and assistant managers on basic professionalism and customer service. This level of treatment is unacceptable.

After hearing the story of Lyle's Room at the Groveland Hotel, my aunt and I decided we had to go…read moresee it for ourselves. We drove over three hours and arrived so excited. We were welcomed by Roy at the front desk, who was such a pleasant and kind gentleman. We asked him about Lyle's Room, and he generously shared the history and stories behind it. To our surprise, he even offered to give us a tour. That was completely unexpected and made the experience even more special. As Roy walked us up to the room, he told us more about Lyle and the stories connected to the room. Being able to go inside was amazing. The room was beautiful, and the entire hotel has such a unique, historic charm. Every part of the property felt warm, peaceful, and well cared for. I stayed in the Orion Room, and after hearing the stories about Lyle knocking things off the dresser, I made sure to keep my things nice and clean while I was there! I will say, though, I got some of the best sleep I have had in a long time. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the hotel has so much to enjoy. They have a great wine selection, a beautiful bar area, and a wonderful restaurant. I enjoyed wine and dinner outside in the back, surrounded by trees, a waterfall, and cozy fireplaces. It was absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be coming back. This place offered a kind of peace that I would love to give my body and mind again. Thank you to Roy and the entire Groveland Hotel team for making our visit so memorable.

I gave my card to the front desk for incidentals. When I got home I looked at my bank account and I was charged $273.19 extra when I got home. I have called but I was told that they did not get the money. I have my receipts right here. I was told the manager would call me. He did not. I was told the manager sent me an email. He did not. The guy at the front desk today told me to message the receipts to the hotel, which I did. He was very rude after telling me they owed me nothing and that they couldn't deal with it over the phone. I tried to get ahold of the owners, to no avail. I'm posting pictures of my receipts. Unacceptable. Never give them your debit card. I want a full refund immediately. I probably will have to fight for my money after leaving this review. I hope the owners do the right thing. The front desk as well as the manager have done nothing. I would like to see the email I was told that the manager sent. I never received one as I never gave them my email address.

And the service was top notch. We also ate at the restaurant for dinner every night, but since we had our dog with us they sat us outside and made sure we felt comfortable. That's probably my only knock, is that if you're marketing it as dog friendly, there should be some better restaurant options for dogs. But honestly they were very accommodating. We thought we were going to be bummed to be so far out of the valley floor, but it turned out to be the perfect escape from the crowds. We will definitely be coming back.

We recently spent five days at Firefall Ranch and had mixed feelings about our experience…read more The property itself is beautiful. The location is fantastic, the accommodations are well designed, and the pools and amenities are excellent. The setting truly feels like a luxury retreat and has the potential to be an exceptional destination. Unfortunately, several service issues significantly impacted our stay. One of the biggest frustrations involved food service at the pool. On multiple occasions, we ordered food that took an extremely long time to arrive, and at times never arrived at all. This made it difficult to relax and enjoy the amenities we had specifically come to experience. We also experienced several billing issues during our stay. Jamie, the manager, was involved in handling some of the charges, and despite our efforts to resolve the discrepancies, the situation became unnecessarily frustrating and time-consuming. Another disappointing issue involved a bag that was left behind. What should have been a simple customer service matter turned into a stressful and difficult process. Communication was inconsistent, and we felt as though we had to repeatedly follow up to get information and assistance. To make matters worse, when we attempted to escalate our concerns, we spoke with a supervisor named Emily. During the conversation, she was dismissive, rude and hung up on us! Insane that this was the person we were trying to get help from. Despite the circumstances, we never received a follow-up call to address our concerns or continue the discussion. It's unfortunate because the property itself is truly beautiful, and we wanted to love our experience. However, luxury hospitality is about more than just the physical location, it is also about service, communication, and how guests are treated when problems arise. While Firefall Ranch has many wonderful qualities, the service issues we encountered left us disappointed. Based on our experience, we would never return or recommend this place to friends or family.

We had an amazing vacation and recommend staying at Evergreen Lodge at Yosemite. The lodge was…read moreestablished in 1921 and has everything you need, from food to entertainment. Our cabin was nice and clean and had board games for kids to play with. I liked the smell of their complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion that the lodge makes. There are also outdoor games like Bocce and ping pong tables. If you want to relax, the lodge has a large swimming pool, jacuzzi, and massage room. They also set up bonfires to enjoy s'mores in the evenings. We really enjoyed their All-you-can-eat BBQ night in the swimming pool area. The pool bar made delicious drinks. That was our hangout!! If you don't want the All-you-can-eat BBQ, there's a restaurant at the lodge to order food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) or you can buy snacks at their General Store. They also sell beer and wine. The General Store has souvenirs as well. Evergreen Lodge at Yosemite also offers glamping tents, a laundry room, bike rentals, and fun classes for adults and children, for example, if you wanted to learn glassblowing. You can also book tours from the lodge. Our toddler enjoyed the kids' playground and I enjoyed the zip-line. The lodge is less than 20 minutes away from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir with beautiful views of a waterfall and it's a 17-mile drive to Yosemite National Park. We look forward to going back next summer and staying at the same location. A must visit Yosemite!! Happy Yelping :)

The 2.5 hour drive from the Bay Area was not overly exhausting and quite enjoyable. The geographical area itself is a natural wonderland with more than enough places to explore. The inn, though extremely secluded in the country, is conveniently located a few miles from Groveland and the amenities the town offers. During these wild times in the middle of mass hysteria and a global epidemic, this sanctuary situated on a large parcel of land was like a travel to a more simple place and time. Gazing at the dark night sky filled with the vast array of brightly lit stars of the galaxy is timeless, reminding us all to enjoy the simple things in life while gaining universal perspectives. We had 3 cabins total. They each had a nice extended deck to enjoy sipping coffee on. My cabin was larger than expected, with two separate living areas and a jack and jill bathroom setup. It worked great, coming with 3 beds and a fridge, for my wife and I and our very active 3 and 4 year olds. The VHS with Disney movies for the kids were a nice rustic throwback which vibed perfect for the experience. The L 'occitane premium bath amenities are a nice touch for those who are particular about these things, or not. The large pool added to the feelings of weightlessness and were a refreshing escape from the hot weather. Cool added bonus that wells situated on the property provide the water. The owners and hosts were very gracious and accommodating. It was fascinating to hear that a local prominent judge owned the property at one time. The history of Hetch Hetchy and the SF 1906 quake, leading the city and county of SF, oddly enough, to run some of the infrastructure in the region was also quite a trip. I noticed certain government vehicles as such too. The owners plan to slowly develop the property over time, while still keeping the classic country charm. I can't wait to come back over time to get away and see the changes made! Maybe next time I'll make smores by a fire!
