The view along river from our room was amazing. Proximity to park was excellant. 2 restaurants were adequate, not gourmet but good. Be careful about ordering pancakes as they are huge. For some crazy reason, no one else used the hot tubs at pool but us and they were very nice. Only negative was the internet. It was bad. Like something out of rhe 1990s.

Very nice property. Close to park entrance. New clean. Much nicer than properties in park both the ahwahnee and Yosemite valley lodge. Staff was excellent and the river at back door made it. Not sure I’d feel same about highway side. Pools and Hot tubs immaculate. Laundry room 👍. Beds and cooking area perfect.

Very friendly welcome. They had a variety of food and gifts at their store, including vegan soup. We accidentally locked our bathroom door and the maintenance man was there within minutes. Beautiful location and so close to the park entrance!
