Customer Reviews
i’ve been here so many times for bouldering trips to the valley. this place is phenomenal, way better than the motels that are closer to the valley. sure it’s a little further away, but it’s cozier, there are common spaces, a kitchen and the food at the restaurant is way better.
Such a cute and cozy stay!! Even while it was COLD outside, our tent stayed warm and comfortable (even without the space heater!). The bed and covers are very comfy, and we really enjoyed our personal little porch to sit and watch the sunrise on. If you’re visiting in the fall, the colors are absolutely stunning especially in the morning! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and we loved our breakfast at the June Bug Cafe there! Only an hour out from Yosemite, and the drive is a beautiful one. One of the best stays I’ve ever had!! 🍂🪲
The rooms are clean and it feels like a retreat into the forest, you’re basically in a small wooded cabin with a beautiful view in the morning. The reception is right next to the cabins and parking is available and close by. The restaurant offers good breakfast with big portions and the staff is friendly. The location is 10/10, just a 30 minute drive from the yosemite village where you can find the visitor centre and the most popular trails. Waking up in the morning to the fresh air and the rustic wooden cabins was such an experience. I loved it, the restrooms and showers are big and spacious. I recommend
