We were able to hike in Yosemite using the YARTS bus system ($30 round trip) & came home to a freshly made bed & homemade cookies every night after hiking all day. Liz made us a delicious breakfast at 8:30am (although she did ask if we wanted it earlier) & we caught the YART into the park at 9:15- hiking by 10am. Our hosts were fantastic, the room (top floor) was HUGE & definitely cool- even on a 95 degree day (those other reviews are ridiculous- Liz had no issues keeping us comfortable- in both AC use & shade for breakfast). On the last day of our trip the YART busses didn't show up for our trip back & Ron rescued us from the park late at night (we were literally stranded in Yosemite). I will say If you are in your 20s, looking to party this isn't the place for you. If you are a recluse not wanting to socialize, this isn't the place for you. But If you have 4 kids & plan on leaving them at home- this is totally worth it. In every aspect. My husband & I played scrabble at night with white claws & listened to the river... we slept in... someone else cooked for us...we hiked all day & came home to a cozy bed & friendly faces. Ron & Liz are definitely "chatty" as some have mentioned in other reviews, but you're staying in their home- so we felt it was all apart of the B&B adventure/experience. We will 100% stay here again and recommend it to all of our friends.

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.

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 our plans to stay in Curry Village fell through due to the snowstorm closures, we were…read morescrambling to find last-minute lodging near Yosemite. We initially stopped at Yosemite View Lodge, but the rate was far beyond what we expected. Thankfully, we continued down the road and found Cedar Lodge -- and it truly saved our trip. Not only was the rate significantly better (even less than what we were originally going to pay at Curry Village), but the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The rooms were clean, warm, and comfortable -- which was especially appreciated after dealing with snowy conditions. Unlike Curry Village, where we would have had to walk outside to use the restroom and showers, Cedar Lodge offered hot water and indoor facilities, making our stay far more relaxing. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the on-site general store being open late was a huge convenience. Although the lodge is located just outside the park, it was a quick and easy drive into Yosemite each day. Directly across the street is a beautiful picnic area overlooking the river, complete with barbecue grills, picnic tables, benches, and even a swinging bench -- a perfect place to unwind. We were worried we might have to drive much farther to towns like Oakhurst or Midpines to find accommodations, but Cedar Lodge came through for us in every way. I would absolutely recommend this location to anyone visiting Yosemite. It turned what could have been a stressful situation into a wonderful vacation experience.

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 :)

Wow! exceptional vacation rental. This rental is far and above the best VRBO type vacation rental…read moreI have experienced. EVERYTHING in the house is first class. Kitchen is extremely well stocked for preparing meals, very comfortable beds (I have severe spine issues - 13 herniated discs and beds are super comfortable and supportive) and furniture, all wall switches are labeled, directions from the owners are extensive and thorough, terrific welcome notebook with lots of useful info and visitor usable hiking trail info (multiple copies so you can take one with you), snowshoes, excellent kitchen gear. The property is simply 'turn-key' if someone was wanting to rent it for several months - nothing is absent. Communication was ongoing for the duration of my stay, making sure that everything was what I needed. I am hoping to rent this home again next year, same time of year, and likely reason to visit Yosemite annually for years to come. Every word in owner's description is genuine. Awesome rental!

The owners Holly and Jeff are the best. Any questions get answered immediately. This was the first time my family and I come to Yosemite and stay at a vacation rental, and I never felt any concerns because they were so good. Thank you Holly and Jeff for making our trip very special!

But even better, we ordered take out food every evening and brought it up to the patio to enjoy al fresco dining and wine.

Okay, I was skeptical going into this. Glamping? But seriously this place was so rad. My daughter…read morewas in heaven. They have air streams, cabins, and "adventure tents". We wanted the camping experience. But Yosemite is difficult for camping reservations so we went this route. And I have to say it added to the entire Yosemite trip. A couple downsides. One, is that it's an hour from the central hub of Yosemite. And when you consider how crazy finding parking can be in Yosemite right now that is a pretty serious negative if I'm honest. But. It's a gorgeous drive. Two, you have to use wagons to haul your gear to your space. We luckily were not very far, but it did take us several trips. And lastly, I really wish that the bathrooms for the tents was separate from the clubhouse. Basically the bathrooms for the pool and the clubhouse and the adventure tents are all one and the same. Would've liked the adventure tents to have their own bathroom, giving a little more privacy. There were several events while we stayed there (I do think it's a cool place to have an event or even a wedding), but the people from the events were constantly coming in and out of the bathrooms. Shared bathrooms aren't my favorite to begin with. Trying to take a shower while event goers are popping in and out... Not my fave. All that said, I really enjoyed the vibe of the place overall. Some of the air streams and cabins are situated on a cute little pond.. Aaaaand. The pool made us all happy at the end of the day. The entire staff here is so dog friendly. The clubhouse had really cool little areas. And was very clean. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. The clubhouse has a tiny kitchen with a few nibbles. As well as a bar. Highly recommend the margaritas! Pizza was solid as well. Cute little gift shop with some snacks and essentials and souvenirs. I haven't stayed in Curry Village, but we saw it when we did the mist trail and yikes. This place is so much nicer than the tents, the pool, or the facilities there. If you're looking for a glamping/adventure tent situation I would recommend auto camp. We want to check out their location in Sequoia next!

Absolutely amazing experience!…read more Visited for a Saturday evening one night stay in March and was so surprised with all the amazing amenities. The room itself has everything needed: a spacious shower, a sink & toilet with good water pressure, a small fridge and microwave, a kitchen sink, cooking area, a nice bed and a couch that opens up and can fit one more person on there. Got an unexpected upgrade whe checked in and the room was in a more secluded area so that was nice! The common area was so nice and useful: coffee, meals, swings, couches, anything one might need. There was even a free yoga class with high quality yoga mats provided on Sundays, and every day there is a scheduled event. Even the pathways with numbers for the rooms were lit up so to be found easier. Ordered a pizza set (includes 2 pizzas) and it was tasty, with an over offered to us. Each AutoCamp car/bus has an outside area with a table, chairs, and a bench. The atmosphere was so serene, truly a great place. Also pet friendly! Location: 1 hour away from the Yosemite National Park but pretty okay distance considering the other options. Loved it so much that will visit other AutoCamp locations.

The elevator was broken with no near term repair.. in the grand lodge room walls and ceiling art are decayed, with exposed rotting wood and cracks and drips of plaster.

The door to out balcony would not shut, with a large hook latch needed to close it, still with a waving , gaping door seam hole that we had to throw a towel it to keep it from banging back and forth in the wind. The pipes in the wall all night bang --at first I thought it was our next door neighbors! Bed is ok but the springs squeak loudly as does the bathroom door. The view from the balcony is truly remarkable. The staff is friendly and nice. If you use the room phone to call for something, no one ever answers the phone for room service, concierge, front desk, no matter how many time you call. It always goes to voicemail and they must never retrieve the messages. In the remarkable and very grand dinning hall they have beautiful candlelight and a lovey pianist. The food is expensive. The Caesar salad was limp with cheap box croutons. The French onion soup had a vegetable base and so missed the mark. The single deviled egg, $10 was outstanding, the filet and crab was perfectly done and I would do again. The prime rib was generous, the Yorkshire pudding bowl Dubois, but the gravy and vegetables were good. My husband's salad was excellent--crab and butter leaf with a perfect light dressing. My martini was horrendous- all vermouth. But the one we got at the bar at the hotel entrance was great. I enjoyed the Awhanee manhattan. Service was very good. Such a remarkable property.

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.
