With route 41 closed for the Washburn fire, there were only a couple other families staying there so it was quiet. The cabin we stayed in was right next to the woods. The breakfast was very good! And we had enough towels and washcloths for the number of people registered for the room. That seems to be a challenge for most other places we’ve stayed recently.

Be weary of this property! The staff is odd/creepy. The room was smelly (mildew). The showery is seriously tiny and the shower head felt like a pressure washer. I wouldn’t ever stay here again.

The breakfast was good, and efficient. The rooms are small and the shower is quite small. It is adequate, and the big draw is the closeness to the Pak south entrance. It is also close to the Tenaya Lodge, which is beautiful (but pricey) but you can enjoy their lobby, grounds and restaurants.

The pro: Very close to the Yosemite Park entrance. But the room was that of a run down motel with the price of a Holiday Inn.

5 minutes from the National Park gate. Whisper soft air conditioners. Silent community surrounds. Super attentive staff. A basic clean and functional property. I'd happily stay again.

Arrived early like before 12pm from a long driving from SD and the staff told us that she is alone and cannot entertain us - I ask her where can we wait and said I don’t know drive around and come back by 3pm…

We were looking for somewhere close to the entrance of Yosemite - this certainly fit that requirement. It is an old lodge but clean and the breakfast was better than what we were provided by a hotel in San Francisco. Also, the lady responsible was so very friendly & helpful. We really enjoyed chatting with her.

The property is somewhere between rustic and decrepit. But they have no doubt been affected by the pandemic, and are trying to hire people and recover. It is two miles from the entrance to Yosemite, the beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was good. I'm hoping they hang in there so that I can use them in the future.

The location is 3 miles to the Yosemite Park entrance and 37 miles to the Valley Floor. There is a nice General store in town and great restaurants in Oak Hurst 11 miles away. The cabins are nice but old fashion and more than adequate

staff was excellent. The gentleman who checked us in was very helpful and had a lot of good information for us. the room was clean and comfortable. The shower was a bit small, and there wasn't a hair dryer, but everything else was great and these items weren't really a problem. Breakfast was good

I've stayed here before and enjoyed the closeness to Yosemite Park. The staff is wonderful and very helpful in planning activities. The breakfast is a full home-cooked breakfast that is wonderful. The room we had was #6 which was away from the main group of rooms. Walking into the room it was very muggy. The vent in the bathroom didn't work, and the carpet was damp in front of the mini-fridge which froze everything we put in it. I like the Lodge, but it does need to be updated. It looked as if the all repairs were done by an inexperienced DIY'er.

Has good wi-fi in room. Has refrigerator and microwave in room. Has private bathroom, in contrast to Wawona where only available rooms at the time had only shared bathrooms you have to go outside in the cold to use.
