Nice hotel, good location, very friendly and accommodating staff…read more We stayed here 1 night last weekend. The room was a good size and was clean and neat, with a few signs of wear. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were on a scavenger hunt and needed to make a donation to a local charity. I asked at the front desk if they knew where I could do that early on a Sunday morning. The desk clerk asked a few other staff members and they suggested finding the pastor at one of the local churches and donating that way. One of the staff even offered to store the donation in the refrigerator and take it on Monday if it was perishable. I was able to find a church a few blocks away and make my donation. Thank you so much to the helpful and friendly staff!

Yosemite such a beautiful place but don't stay here!!!!…read more Rude front desk lady..we had to wait to check in at 3pm. It was after 3 :35pm we were checked in. The room stinks like crap!! Non smoking .The AC HAD A SOUND AS A WASHING MACHINE!!!! The pool was BROWN!! The worst part of all after hiking over 8 hrs we came back to our room unclean.. no service!!!

I stayed at Yosemite South Gate Hotel & Suites in Oakhurst during my trip to Yosemite. Overall, it…read morewas a clean, cozy, and quiet place -- very comfortable for resting after long days in the park. The room felt well-maintained and the atmosphere was peaceful, which I really appreciated. The main downside for me was the breakfast. It was quite limited and not very filling. I don't eat pork at all, and unfortunately there weren't really any alternative options -- mostly just scrambled eggs and very basic items. After a morning hike, it wasn't enough to feel satisfied. Overall, it's a good place to stay for convenience, cleanliness, and comfort, especially if you're planning to spend most of your time in Yosemite. Just don't expect a rich or varied breakfast.

Quite frankly, we were nightmare guests for this wonderful couple! First, we were all going to stay in one cottage, but upon arrival, Neil observed us trying to get my 88-year-old handicapped mother up the stairs inside. He consulted privately with Carol and very kindly offered us the unit below theirs that had the bathroom, bedroom, and living room on one floor. What a life saver! Mom and I stayed there--at no extra charge! I don't know what we would have done otherwise. Then when our car broke down in Yosemite Village, Neil drove us the almost 20 miles back to the village the next day, waited while we sorted out the car and a place to stay in the village, drove us to our next place, then helped us unload the bags into our lodging!! OMG. We were really astounded at Neil's graciousness, as well as Carol's. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We strongly recommend anyone who wants reasonable rates close to Yosemite Village check out Cozy Bear. You can save a lot of money by bringing your own food, packing lunches, and enjoying this lovely little find nestled in the woods of Wawona.

I stayed in Cozy Bear North with my husband and 3 young children in June. They have online…read morereservations, but I called to speak with Carol personally. She explained the fees and terms clearly and sent all the details by mail. She also very kindly allowed us to arrive before the 4pm check-in time when I explained we would be driving 4 hours from home with a cooler full of perishable groceries and wanted to drop them off in the refrigerator before proceeding on to the Valley for some site-seeing. Location was easy to find because I used Google maps prior to setting out. Good thing because our GPS got us to the road, but not to the specific address. Also helpful is that the entire Yosemite West neighborhood is on Google street view. Neal greeted us upon arrival and was very welcoming and friendly, but not intrusive. He and Carol live next door and invited us to call them if we needed anything and said they would come right over, but we never needed to call them. Location is the closest you can get without being in Yosemite Valley itself. It takes about 30 minutes to drive to the Valley Visitor Center, but is very near destinations such as Glacier Point, Tunnel View, Bridalveil Fall, and Wawona. The kitchen had cooking and baking implements, and a few ingredients, such as cooking oil, coffee, tea, sugar, and condiments, but these are apparently left from previous guests, but looked usable. We brought most of our groceries from home, and bought a few items each day at the Market in Yosemite Valley. There is no place to buy food or gas in Yosemite West. There is a gas fireplace and games and VCR/DVD in the living room, and an outdoor patio with a BBQ grill, but we didn't use any of these much because we were out all day enjoying nature. Beds were comfortable, there was ample storage, and the 3 kids fit perfectly in their own room with 1 double and 1 twin bed. Only slight inconveniences were having 1 bathroom, a dining table that only fits 4, and the many bear-themed decorations which crowded the space on bedroom dressers, counters, and beds. Also be aware that there are 4 separate levels to the house, so you will be going up and down stairs constantly. This is a Duplex, so occasionally we could hear the Cozy Bear South guests moving about or speaking, but it wasn't a problem because they were not overly loud. The neighborhood was quiet at night while we were there. We cleaned the kitchen and took out the garbage as instructed and Carol and Neal refunded our full cleaning deposit before we even got home from our trip. Overall, this is a very comfortable and conveniently located place to stay. It is very good for families with kids and if you like saving money by cooking your own food and don't mind washing dishes while on vacation.

We had a great time visiting Yosemite over Memorial Day Weekend. We stayed at this cabin and…read moreenjoyed ourselves. A few things, this place can accommodate 4 adults but it is not a two bedroom place as advertised. There is one room upstairs that has two twin beds and one queen bed. Has one bathroom downstairs. The cabin is a bit outdated but I'm not sure what else you expect for a cabin in Fish Camp. It had the essentials though. It had a kitchen, with a lot of pots and pans and utensils, some spices, refrigerator, tv with DVD player and Cable (dish). They had a bbq grill but we couldn't figure out if it was charcoal or gas and we didn't have propane or charcoal so we didn't use it. The beds were not that comfortable and the sheets and pillows seemed old. Actually everything seemed a bit old in the place. John was very gracious throughout the whole reservation process and called us while we were there to make sure everything was ok. Overall, we had a lovely time but for how much we paid, we were expecting a little better. The other thing is this is one of the only dog friendly places around Yosemite which made it our go to place.

He was able to accommodate our group of 20. Papa Bear Den was fantastic! It had everything you could think of. BBQ pit, full kitchen, accommodations to fit us all in under 1 roof. The restaurants were close by and Oakhurst was just a short drive down the mountain. The creek water level was very low due to the lack of snow melt but we still managed to catch 1 good size trout. Staying on the south end of the park was a new experience for us and it was just wonderful. John is very knowledgeable on the area inside Yosemite Park as well as restaurants to get a great meal. The locals were all friendly and had loads of information. It was very pleasant to talk to them in the mornings. We are definitely coming back next year for our 5th Annual Motorcycle Road Trip. Thank you John for making our 4th Annual Motorcycle Road trip a success! Take care and see you next year!!!

Just solid hospitality. It's not flashy. It's reliable. And in a place like Oakhurst, that reliability hits. It's giving... post-hike glow-up montage where you shower, recharge, and wake up ready to conquer Yosemite again.

I chilled outside on the hammock and saw lots of little squirrels, butterflies, hummingbirds -- but no bears. Our stay was relaxing, romantic, and comfortable. We stayed in the big room, with the oversized tub, king four-poster bed, huge fireplace. Highly recommended, and we'll do this the next time. We didn't know that there were so many amenities available to us, and would have cooked dinner there instead of getting take out. I felt like I was staying in a good friend's home - it was clean, updated, and had so many cute loving details that you would only see in a place where the owners truly love the home. Oh, we also played chess by the fireplace on their fancy wooden chess set. Fantastic. Breakfast was easy, delicious, and the other guests were friendly. The person who checked us in was friendly, non-obtrusive, and was always available if we needed him, but otherwise no where to be seen. That's magic :) He gave us a great tour of the home, pointing out all things relevant, and had some pretty cool stories. It's a bit of a drive to Yosemite, and also in the middle of nowhere. I felt like I was luxury camping in the wilderness. I would definitely like to come back.
