Room: Sizable balcony with forest view. Bathroom: Large rain shower with aromatic amenities. Bedroom: Comfortable with nice design Facility: S'mores 6 - 8pm are a fun way to meet other guests. Spa: Skillful staff and a wide range of services and amenities. Nice $65 day package with massage included. Restaurants: indoor/outdoor seating with a large wine list and tasty food menu. Pool: Gorgeous, warm enough, towels right there. General store: Lots of coffee options and generous hours. Elevators within buildings. Location: only one mile from the park entrance.

A lot of steps for my husband given the altitude. Pool is maybe too large for lap swimming given the altitude.

We love the whole site, the pool & hot tub, the complimentary s'mores, the games room. Our room was very big and perfect for a family of four. The bathroom was also big, modern with great amenities.

We were disappointed by the bed linen, just a sheet and a light blanket: not very modern and too little for the beginning of January. We expected at least a duvet for this season. There was only one extra blanket so one missing as we used the sofa bed for the kids.

The property is about 40mins to most Yosemite iconic sites. Kids are thrilled about the game room and the outdoor zipline which we used on our first night when it was too snowy and slippery to drive to the park. The pools looked very inviting, though we didn’t try it when we were there. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Shout out to Hunter the assistant manager and the nice ladies in the general store who were very accommodating and made us feel welcomed. There were also some short trails by the lodge if you want to enjoy serenity close by. Overall a wonderful stay. We have recommended the lodge to our families and friends who are planning to go to Yosemite.

The restaurant food was not the best, not a lot of selections. We also asked for our room to be cleaned on the 3rd day but was not cleaned as I expected. Beds were made and towels were changed but tables and counters were not wiped, coffee and teas were not refilled and carpets were left as it is.

We were delighted with this place! The two bedroom villa with balcony suited our fam of four perfectly. Only one bathroom but we managed with our two teenage girls. Balcony with two rocking chairs getting the late afternoon sun after a beautiful long day hiking at the Park was idyllic, the pool, the hot tubs, roasting marshmallows and the smore kits they provide at the fire pits, great drinks at the bar, comfortable and relaxed and generous atmosphere - there are games and books for kids and grownups in the rooms, no tvs and good WiFi which is essential as there is very poor or no phone reception- comfortable beds, spacious, in mid-April it’s got a fair number of families but apparently still pretty calm compared to high season in summer - so there is a nice friendly community feeling but also plenty of privacy - we don’t want to leave!

Property is fantastic with tons of things to do for kids and adults. Has a lovely spa and 24 hours heated pool/hot tubs. Several hiking trails on the property. Staff very helpful and responsive. Kids loved the game room, rock wall and the free smores daily. they were able to run around on their own as property is very safe. rooms were very spacious. Close to Yosemite entrance

one restaurant on site, food was ok for the price. we had a large party and a lot of the breakfast came out cold. however little grocery store had good coffee and sandwiches.

Rooms better than the pictures - newer and cleaner than expected. We had a room with balcony facing pool. The spa was amazing (steam/ sauna/ different hot and cold pools/ weighted neck pillows). Amazing location - right by Yosemite west entrance. Drive in every morning was beautiful - less of a hassle than I thought it might be vs staying inside park. Nice to have the pool to come back and relax in in the afternoon.

Food was fine but not exceptional like everything else at the property - sometimes really good, sometimes average (eg Texan bbq great, Mexican bbq felt like cheap bought meat/ packaged guacamole). Paying extra for the spa - think 1 hour free per person would have been nice.

The facilities are incredible. The heated pool and Jacuzzis are open 24hr. The games room is a nice way to spend an evening. The common room and fireplace are cosy. The highlight were the walking trails which are maintained by the hotel. we had a lovely sunny morning walk through the snow before leaving (would recommend). the Staff are friendly and the rooms are clean and spacious. We didn't go in the spa but it looked amazing. It is only 5 minute drive to the park entrance. So a perfect location to spend a night before heading into the valley.

The restaurant was slightly overpriced, but that is perhaps to be expected. We paid for a room with a mountain view but didn't get one. I did not realise this at the time, so do not know whether this could have been accommodated if i'd raised it with the check-in team.

The location can't be beat (a few miles from the Big Oak Flat park entrance), the staff is super friendly/helpful and the rooms are well thought out and designed. The comfy bed felt especially good after full days of hiking. We appreciated the on-site DIY laundry and the hotel shop, which carried lots of grab-and-go hiking food. And while we didn't use them, the game room and evening s'mores looked like popular amenities.

The restaurant didn't meet expectations for a property of this quality. It had a smart, varied menu, but the kitchen lacked on execution, even for the most simple things. The tomato soup tasted like pizza sauce, and the $18 pancakes were rubbery and tasteless.

Amazing family hotel. The play options for children are plentiful and our son made lots of friends. Really comfortable rooms and lots of well thought out additions including a water feature garden and a great shop and lounge. Environmentally very thoughtful. As described, very close to park entrance but bear in mind the c40 minute drive into the valley and make sure you leave early in the summer to get a car parking spot in one of the main car parks.

Dinner reservations seemed problematic and only managed 1 in our 4 night stay… what was more frustrating was being told there was no space and being forced to sit in the communal bar (which was actually nice as got to meet other guests) and seeing tables outside unused all night. The staff seem baffled when you sought to use a table not being used / reserved and a couple were bordering on rude. Think they really need to consider a more customer friendly approach on this front for those residing in the hotel.

Really helpful staff who could advise on road conditions and park access; also super helpful with advising on fitting tire chains (you can buy these from the lodge if needed to enter Yosemite, if you don't end up using them you can sell them back for £15 - but be aware that we needed them to access the park both days in early March! Comfortable hotel room, good amenities, trails you can do straight from the lodge and little touches like free smores in the evening were great touches.
