    Narrow Gauge is the perfect get away that doesn't break the bank. It gives you the cabin feel with all amenities. Some items in the room are outdated however, nothing that bothered me much as the price is right. What I loved most about the room was the terrace. It is located close enough to Yosemite and right next to the Sugar Pine Railway Train. (You can walk over) They do have a restaurant on the property that is a plus. Altogether it's a cute cabin stay.

    DO NOT STAY HERE...unless you get a low rate (under $200/night) or don't mind a roadside, very shabby motel type vibe. The property is NOT well maintained, trash under stairs, very old and outdated rooms that smell really bad. Though staff tries to be nice, they are clueless and you have to ask for basic service multiple times. Very poorly managed and run. Although it's nicely located (10 min to park entrance and nestled in the trees), I would never stay there again.

    Near where you check in, they had an old fire truck

    This is hard because I know the place is rustic. So some might think it's a four. We had a king size bed, and we had access to a nice deck with a stream, but you couldn't open the door and get out because of the bed. Some of the upgrades weren't done very well. We either were too cold or too hot when using the heater. It did come with a refrigerator and there was plenty of room. It's very close to the jazz train so we could walk. The bed was very comfortable. Also, you got hot water instantly. Also, the sink and toilet are fairly new. So we are told that they're gonna do some upgrades to the rooms this winter which will be great. Also, Elena, one of the housekeepers was very helpful in retrieving something that went under the bed. Everyone was very friendly.

    The employees made you feel like you were not a tourist! Great specialty drinks! Fawn was great! We didn't try the food cause we had just eaten but the steak looked good!

    We have been staying at this Inn for years! The property is nice and feels secluded. It's always quite and feels so relaxing... Our favorite room is #40 - it's on the corner next to a little creek and we just love it. If you frequently stay here, call to make reservations instead of doing it online. You may get a better rate! Rates are usually good regardless though! The room is comfortable, clean, and just enough space for a couple. It's got a great cabin feel to it! Also, there is plenty of deck space to relax with a bottle of wine and to enjoy the nature and views!

    Very cute and quaint! I wanted to squeeze in a quick nature getaway for some peace and tranquillity. I checked in earlier than 3pm and the room was ready for me. The room feels like a cabin with a more modernized bathroom. I do have a couple gripes: the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything ! I kept waking up to foot steps above me. I definitely recommend booking the single level room facing the forest. There will be nobody above you and you can hear the creek water better. Also, Their highly rated restaurant was closed! Was really looking forward to trying the food. The skies look great at night and there are cool little paths surrounding the Inn. Sugar pine railroad is right next door to book a train ride and to visit the museum . Yosemite is just 4 miles up the road!

    What a great cute place ~10 min from the park! Cute adjacent store with gear/accessories better than the park. Everyone very nice. Ice didn't work and could hear the neighbor snoring, but would def stay again.

    Great location for Yosemite! Rustic inn that looks like it had some recent remodels. Overall it was clean, quiet place to sleep. Rooms a little small with a large bathroom that included a desk space with coffee maker. Our room had a little balcony with an amazing view of the mountains. I mean really amazing! My main issue was that the mattresses were rather worn and could be replaced. Also the heater was really noisy. Desk staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the grab and go breakfast provided by the restaurant. The portions were huge and the fruit was fresh and delicious. Lobby features a cute gift shop with snacks, sundries etc... Also a microwave fir guest use. Great little place to stay between Yosemite and Oakhurst. PS if you are an EV driver there are a ton of Super chargers up the road at Tenaya and also a charger for other EV's.

    Beautiful location. The hotel is very quaint. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. Staff was very friendly.

    Wow, what a sweet little inn! A group of us got 2 separate rooms for two days for our trip to Yosemite. I was so amazed at how cute the room was and I LOVED being able to drink my coffee on the balcony overlooking the trees and the animal trail. The restaurant had some of the best food I've ever had in my life. Thank you, Narrow Gauge, for making our trip magical! We are definitely coming back!

Shower head with mobile shower head was very helpful to give bath to our toddler There is plenty of parking but you may have to park a bit farther depending upon time of year and day. The pool was full but we still enjoyed in it as well as splash zone. The jenga, corn in the hole, checkers, chess board, cards, gaming arcade, indoor pool with movies playing on the projector- they have perfect vacation package. The star of the first night was shuttle service to the pizzeria and back. Our kid loved the ride in the golf cart. The star of the second night was telescope pointing to moon, open for all the guests. But highlight definitely is marshmallow roasting and s'mores. Everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. We didn't have an opportunity to eat at embers or Deli but both pizzeria and jackalope offered delicious meals. We will definitely be back during Christmas or winter time. The facility is kept clean. The interiors are majestic and inviting. The paintings/ photos are stunning, almost a mini museum walls all around. Tip-There are showers inside the arcade restrooms which I found next day. Four stars only because we found either one of the elevators to be in maintenance mode throughout the stay. Also, the pool gates were left unlocked risking outsiders using the facility.

Stayed in one of the cottages, so a short walk to the Lodge. Beautiful! Heighten ceiling and rafters lobby complete with active fireplace , piano and singer upon our check in. Some restaurants and shops, beautiful artwork of Yosemite, and lots of conference rooms ... Had 2 meals at Jackalopes bar and grill, had fantastic service by Greg ( Wednesday night) and Devon ( Thursday morning), and excellent ancillary service as well. Great location for a wedding. Beautiful pool outside as as one indoors, Several fire pits surround the property as well, with opportunities to roast marshmallows. Well supplied hotel just shop- purchased some books, pins, ornaments, stuffies, etc but they also have lots of other Yosemite merch/ clothes/etc.. Our cottage to queen beds and a lovely fireplace, refrigerator, safe and microwave. Thank you to whomever installed the shower head: finally one I can reach!! ( just over 5 feet high). Also loved the shampoo/ conditioner/ shower gel scents, as I am usually pretty particular to hotel offerings and usually don't like them . Unfortunately, the AC did not work very well. Probably should've called maintenance for repairs, but we were out all day. Would definitely stay here again.

You get absolutely no cell reception, the WiFi is not that great either. No where in cyber space for you to run to. The place forces you to pay attention to it as well as whoever you are there with. I spent 6 nights here, and it felt almost like a lifetime. I laughed, cried, cooked, bathed, relaxed. I got accustomed to the cursed noises that the radiator makes. Got used to the dull knives and the many light switches around the house. I went to bed after a long relaxing bath, and woke up to the trees as my first view. Get dressed, put on my boots, got firewood, and put on a crappy pot of coffee so that I'm prepared to do nothing for the day. Point is, this place has personality; however, you feel free to be yourself. This place is not perfect, but it is great! It sleeps 6 people. Only 2 miles away from the southern entrance of Yosemite. Perfect for family & friends to disconnect from the busy life of the Silicon Valley and go out into the woods. You'll have to bring your own food and drinks, but the kitchen is fully stocked with all kinds of equipments - an amateur home cook's dream!

I enjoyed the balcony, comfy bed, and clean bathroom. I found it beautiful that there are plenty of stellar jays flying over the B&B inn. There was sights of deers, butterflies, and many other creatures to see. The balcony also had comfy rocking chairs which gives a homey feeling. For breakfast there was only a bagel or pastry nothing else. If you're driving there are many restaurants and food places in the towns an hour before B&B inn, but after passing Oakhurst town there will be far drives to be able to go to marts or other food places.

The room we had was the Mariposa room and it was beautiful and large! We were amazed as everything looked clean and there were 2 bathrooms(one had the shower and the other had the toilet). Please make sure to read ALL of the rules that are in BOTH bathrooms that are hanging on the wall(one of them is right near the toilet and the other is in the other bathroom near the hair dryer). Pamela had also greeted us and told us about the continental breakfast and that you are to eat it in your own room. She would later enter your room when you are not there to pick up the dishes. She was also helpful with any questions in regards to what to visit in Yosemite. We loved our private balcony and the view of the stream flowing by. Pamela surprised us by hauling up some rocking sitting chairs on the last night of our stay onto the balcony. We enjoyed that very much and the peacefulness. We also enjoyed the fridge in the room but also wished there was a freezer as well as we had brought our own ice packs. Cons: As much as we did not mind Pamela coming into our room to get the breakfast dishes while we were gone, we did notice a few things that felt odd. First, she took our used shower towels that was hanging on the inside of the horseshoe rack and rehung it on top of the horseshoe rack holder. She even took out the squishy non-slip padding in the shower and rehung it. She made our beds(though we could of sworn that one of the rules was that there was NOT going to be any room cleaning, etc. She took some of our other towels that we had used and replaced it with others(which was fine). BUT, she THREW AWAY my small styrofoam cup that I had left nicely on the sink counter. I had brought it from home and had used it to rinse my mouth after brushing my teeth. Who does that?? Who throws away someone else's things? I was very upset and it kind of made our stay there less enjoyable knowing that someone had gone through your stuff. Overall, it is a nice place to stay with a nice room and view but think about items that belong to you and what things you wouldn't want anyone to touch or throw away. We also suggest you bring your own food as there isn't really a place to eat at except for a place slightly down the street that sells sandwiches(it was good) or at the expensive restaurant at the hotel down the street. If you don't bring your own food, you would need to drive ALL the way back down the windy road into town.

Okay that's fine we know we are early but it was not a warm welcome. When we asked what we can do near the hotel in the meantime she responded "I don't know but I bet you can find something". This was my first time to this city and Yosemite. So we said screw it and drive into Yosemite valley. It is about an hour drive on a road with a lot of tight turns. However it is beautiful! Now fast forward to around 7pm when we came back and there is a new person working the front desk. This man was super wonderful and helpful. He gave us all the info we needed about the area and the hotel. This one man turned out initial opinion on the hotel around. Now the room is not much. Super tiny room with one bed inside. However you can basically park right outside your room, which is super nice. A major downside, the walls are so thin that we could hear the conversations and the tv from the rooms next to us. One of the rooms didn't turn off their tv till 4-5am. A huge redeeming factor of this hotel is breakfast. It's included and is a good continental breakfast. The lady working it was super nice and welcoming. Also another nice thing with this hotel is we saw no kids there. So it was a ton of adventurous adults. Huge bonus. I still wouldn't stay here again but huge bonus. So overall, minus one lady the staff was incredible and so was the breakfast. However the rooms were horrible. The hardest part is in Fish Camp you have only a few options to choose from. So it is this hotel, Tenaya up the street, or going to another town. Personally I would recommend go to Tenaya or into Yosemite and stay at the Wawona Lodge. You will probably have a better experience.

The WiFi speeds are fair and the staff is nice. Made the booking through Booking.com (https://www.booking.com/s/11_6/tujean53 -- if you want a referral). I was in the Fish Camp area region for a weekend wedding and it was the cheapest room I could find on there. Messaged through the booking to ask if I would be able to check in early b/c the regular check-in time is 3 PM. I had a wedding at 4, so I just asked if I could arrive and get a room early and they obliged. One thing that I thought was strange was how the bathroom came with the usual soaps and stuff, but no toothpaste or toothbrush (probs just too used to international travel....). Their Key Drop off is literally a drop off. You just drop the key into a mailbox looking thing that's outside the office that you check-in at. Location: It's close to Tenaya Lodge ( which is where I was attending the wedding, so it worked out for me). It's a little strange b/c to get to WCML, you drive in through a narrow street and it's at the end of the street. It's about a 1 hr drive to Yosemite from here. Breakfast: I've included pictures, but for some reason I was expecting more. But they did an okay job for a small place. They had a lot of beverage options: tea, coffee, apple juice, orange juice, and milk. Wish they had more "food" options other than the toast, waffles, sausage, and hard boiled eggs. I guess that's just because I'm just picky about the food I have for breakfast, but I really shouldn't be complaining b/c the breakfast is included in your stay with no additional cost. Parking: They take note of what car you have upon check-in, but there's ample parking available. You should be able to get the one right in front of your room. Room Condition: Room was fairly clean and the bathroom shower looked like it had been remodeled recently. The room I was in was fairly small (Queen bed), but I just needed a place to sleep for the night before heading to Yosemite the next day so it worked out. WiFi speeds: When I tested it, it was fair. I have T-Mobile and don't have cell reception around that area, so it was useful to route myself from there to Yosemite and it was good enough to download the area offline for future use. TIPS: If you have to check in early, feel free to send a message to WCML when you're making the booking on Booking.com and they'll let you know if they're able to accommodate. Don't forget to bring your ID and the CC that you used to book your stay.

They EV charging stations for vehicles and other things plenty of handicap parking all throughout the facility and also a restaurant right in the middle of this place so you don't have to go very far to get good food Speaking of good food, their breakfast buffet by far put it over the top because a lot of times you go to hotels and you get maybe a continental breakfast just a few items and you're not really interested in those items but this breakfast buffet was overwhelming because it was so amazing and on this trip we finally got to eat a good meal at a hotel They had pancake sausage, eggs, different kinds of bacon, like four or five different juices, six or seven different coffees, bagels plenty of people behind the counter to serve you fresh fruit, all kind of stuff and it was well laid out. A very relaxing environment that you can walk in get your breakfast sit down and really enjoy your time there and go back for seconds and know it was gonna be hot and fresh every time so I truly recommend this place because of how relaxing it was how easy it was to get in and out of and the food quality for breakfast was amazing. The only thing that was a little bit still out of date, but still look good was the rooms they are older style rooms not updated like a lot of other places are, but it was an amazing stay great facilities and we will stay here every time we go to Yosemite

It had a kitchen, with a lot of pots and pans and utensils, some spices, refrigerator, tv with DVD player and Cable (dish).

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 :)

    Rush Creek restaurant inside the spa and resort had excellent reviews, and we witnessed it…read moreyesterday. We arrived earlier than our reservation time and we're seated within 10 minutes. 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.

    I have been trying to make a reservation for nearly an entire month because my friends and I are…read morestaying at Rush Creek Lodge in July. 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.
