Beautifully located and super host Sherlee has a generous soul that guides you with trips for trails, places to visit and it is amazing what her family is doing in the region! The breakfast in the patio is unforgettable, and truly every detail of the cottage -the films and books available of the evening entertainment as well as table games and the fire place- is perfect!!! Every detail here speaks of the love and care they put to build and run it, and I guarantee the same love and care they will give you for your holidays, gifting you the best time in nature. We spent 4days with family and small dog and we didn't wanna leave! Cottages are Fully equipped, mattresses super comfy and the tables outside make even the dinners home very special.

Innkeeper Sherilee is incredibly knowledgeable about Yosemite and can answer any questions you have…read moreabout how to best maximize your time in the park. The Inn and has well-appointed, clean rooms with delicious prix fixe breakfasts for guests in the morning! We have stayed in several of her units and the El Capitan cottage easily accommodates a family of 4, (and can accommodate up to max 6 for an add'l fee)with a queen bed in one room and 2 twins in the other bedroom. One amazing bonus of that unit is it has an in-unit washer and dryer. The entrance is private and the unit has a full kitchen and bbq propane grill so you can save money on eating out and prep your own meals if you want! Vons and other grocery stores are only 16 mins away in Oakhurst. We highly recommend this B&B.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars!! The location is amazing, secluded and quiet and the…read moreoutdoor area is beautiful, it's just a 30-40 minute drive to the park, the rooms are ADORABLE it's like your own little apartment with a kitchen, living room, bedroom(s), very clean, stocked with coffee, dishes/utensils and fridge, but above all I got the most superb customer service I've ever received in my life. My husband and I got married out there a couple weeks ago and my whole family stayed there and Brenda (host) and Val (cleaning/maintenance) went so above and beyond to accommodate us all, she made sure all of the rooms had everything that everyone needed, whenever we had any questions with planning the weekend beforehand we would call her and she was so incredibly helpful with EVERYTHING. She decorated our room adding some special touches for my husband and I. My wedding weekend/week was absolutely perfect and I truly have Brenda to thank for all of the advice and help she gave us while planning the weekend before we even got out there. Cannot say enough amazing things about her and this beautiful hidden gem!!!

Beautiful location but apparently the area is prone to electric outages. We had a power outage and…read morethe only help management gave us was a sole flashlight, despite them telling us that this was the norm in the area. I was shocked. You'd think that if they were use to such occurrences that they may be better prepared. Very unfortunate as otherwise the location and stay was lovely.

We stayed at Posada Mariana recently (second week of July) for one night. Wow, there are so many…read morewonderful things to be said about this bed & breakfast. The proprietors, Rob and his wife Mary Ann, are kind and wonderful people. They were helpful with directions, local dinner suggestions, and ideas about exploring the local wilderness -- even before we arrived! They welcomed us with big smiles and made sure we were comfortable. Our room was charming and pleasant (the Vallarta room), the beds better than home. The bathroom was incredibly clean, the shower the best EVER. Breakfast was delicious and included sausage, eggs, yogurt, granola, fruit, croissants (toasted!) and fantastic coffee (much needed). Conversation with the other guests about travel adventures was really enjoyable. Posada Mariana is a gorgeous Spanish Colonial home, complete with a courtyard, fountains, trees, a pond with fish and running water, and best of all, an INCREDIBLE view and location. We didn't use it, but there is also a beautiful pool & spa and bbq area. We did very much enjoy sitting on the patio and looking out over the valley while the sun set. And then the next morning, after breakfast, we sipped our coffee while sitting on a quaint bench on the edge of the property, enjoying the sounds of nature. If you're considering staying in the area, you REALLY don't need to look any further. Book Posada Mariana NOW.

We have stayed a few times at Cedar Mountain Lodge when visiting family and friends in Oakhurst…read more It's a great location! The cute town of Oakhurst, with its shops and places to eat, is a conveniently central location; near enough to have day trips to lots of interesting places to visit, such as Yosemite, Coarsegold, The Sugar Pine Railroad, Bass Lake, and Mariposa. The apartment is fully contained on the upper floor of a home, with a private entrance. The wonderful hosts live on the bottom floor. They are lovely people, always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The home has everything we need. The kitchen is well appointed to cook meals. We just grab food at the Raleys in town on the way. The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are modern and clean. My favorite room is the great room with all its windows, fireplace, and comfortable seating. Also with a large deck overlooking the trees. The neighborhood is quiet. The house has enough parking space for larger vehicles, like our F450 long bed, and for several cars. We have loved staying at the Lodge so much, that we now will literally try to plan our trips around when they have availability. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for the weekend to celebrate our dear friend's 50th birthday…read more The kitchen have everything. We cooked our meals. We even baked birthday cake. The place have three bedrooms: a bunk bed, queen size bed, and double bed size. There's five of us and bed arrangement worked out for us. There's two bathrooms. They even have washer and dryer. The place is remodeled. We will come back. 20 minutes away to Yosemite National Park.

This place was perfect for our 4 days gateway to Yosemite, the drive is about one hour from here…read moreeither way you take (east gate or south) but the trip is very much worthy, specially if you go via 140. The cottages are clean, peaceful, and relaxing. They offer a full kitchen with all cooking supply needs, minus the spices. The grounds are spectacular and serene with beautiful plants and birds all around. You can sit out on your front porch and gaze at the beautiful stars at night. The bed is firm, which isn't my favorite but I have slept well after having our bottle of wine! They are very attentive and stayed up to wait for our late arrival. I would recommend this place!!!

We stayed in the "Stage Coach" which has a king bed, fireplace & nicely appointed kitchen and decorative tiling throughout. Outside one side of our cabin is a rosemary plant which made the stay even nicer. The owners are friendly, and responsive to our needs.

FOOD: N/A SERVICE: 4…read moreAMBIANCE: 4 VALUE: 4 Let's make it clear, this hotel is in Yosemite and away from the busy/tourist filled valley. If you are for a peaceful stay away from the crowds, this is where you need to be. The place is full of history and when you drive up to check in, it feels like you've been transported back in time. That's especially true because there are no modern creature comforts, not cell service, no room telephone, no TV, no AC, no in room refrigerator and no room internet (although there is WiFi in the lobby/main building). The basics are very good, spacious room, big comfortable bed, traditional bathroom with good shower pressure and lots of storage. There is a full service restaurant on site serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We did not try the restaurant during our short stay. As for things close by, there is a gas station and gift shop just next door. You can arrange for horseback riding. There is a pool but it was being serviced during our stay. And you can hike straight out your front door! There are so many hiking trails around the hotel. A very good alternative in the Yosemite National Park. BTW, with a hotel reservation, you can come and go as you please without having to make a park reservation.

Rooms are decent size and clean. Seasonal amenities include a nine-hole golf course, a swimming pool and riding stables. There are lots hiking trails around the hotel.

This was such a lovely place to stay at!!! My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights while visiting…read moreYosemite National Park and had such a great experience! The property itself is very clean with nice decor (little robins scattered around the house). I loved the blue walls with contrasting brown linens. I will say that the rental is a lot larger than what I had pictured based on what I saw online. Major plus! When you arrive (plenty of parking), you go right around the house, following the signs for Robin's Nest. Shortly after we arrived we were greeted by one of the owners, Trace. He had A LOT of knowledge to offer us given that he was a former park ranger for Yosemite. I'm telling you, he knows everything about the park- best times to go, what hikes to do, where to get the best views, etc. Tell him what your goals are for your trip and he'll help you create the perfect itinerary! We did a hike, Clouds Rest, which we hadn't quite planned for, but turned out to be the best hike we did. Anyhow, you enter the building and there's a closet with beach towels for you to use for either the pool or the Merced River (ask where to go). You'll encounter the bedroom and around the corner is the living room, equipped with TV and tons of space. You'll also see the bathroom (with towels, soap bar, shampoo/conditioner). The kitchenette includes microwave, toaster, sink, coffee pot and dishes for you to use. There's a table outside to eat if you want some fresh air, otherwise, there's 2 bar stools you can eat in the kitchen. There's also an outdoor grill that you are welcome to use if you choose to make something. The rental comes equipped with A/C and heater depending on temps. As for the bed... I thought it was comfortable. After hiking the entire trip we were sure glad to hit the sack. We were out... Cold. They also have Wi-Fi you can use which was super helpful since we had NO reception with T-Mobile in the area. There are local eateries only minutes away, but be mindful many close early and if you make it a long day at the park, you'll have to hit the grocery store instead. If you're planning a trip to Yosemite, this is the place to go. Probably more suited for couples than a trip with kids. Most days it took us about 2 hours to get into the park because of the 2 lane, slow, windy roads. It was worth the drive though, because after a few hours in Yosemite, you will be glad to get away from the crowds. Robn and Trace are the perfect hosts for your stay!! You won't regret it, I promise!!!!!
