"This lodge is one of the best around Yosemite area. We loved the 2-bedroom cabin we stayed in which is nested in a wooded meadow away from the main reception building. Very beautiful surroundings and very quiet - a truly wonderful escape. We were here only for one night and didn't have the opportunity to enjoy all the great amenities - heated pool, jacuzzi, horseback riding, etc. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The indoor/outdoor fireplace in the main bedroom is amazing! In fact, the place was so comfortable that we spent virtually the entire stay in the cabin! We were able to try the restaurant on-site for dinner. That was, perhaps the only disappointing thing about the lodge - we were surprised by the restaurant menu with minimal options for food and they weren't that appetizing. Instead, we ordered food on the tavern menu which was okay. We were expecting a larger selection and tastier fare given the lodge's luxury caliper. The staff were super helpful, warm and friendly. I do recommend reviewing the invoice when checking out to ensure no additional charges end up on the bill! :(We were initially overcharged for an early check in fee, and dog fee) . That said, it was overall a great stay!"

"Host was very responsive and quick to resolve issues that came up. Issues included creaky doors, door handle that fell off, and a fly infestation due to the weather shift and not from uncleanliness. The outdoor space was spectacular. Our group utilized the pond and spent a great deal of time fishing, playing basketball, enjoying the patio space, and using the hot tub to soak our feet. The space was perfect for the four families with children, 18 people total. We even did a murder mystery game and the grand room with the piano was the perfect setting for our game. Bedding was excellent, so comfortable. There are a couple bedrooms on the second floor that were directly under the third bedrooms and some guests claimed they could hear a lot of the walking (sound barrier maybe a bit less in those spaces). Kitchen was so well stocked and we utilized it a great deal and never found anything lacking. Would highly recommend it for a group gathering."
"We had a great time! The house was very comfortable, had everything we needed. The telescope is a plus! The area is great for stargazing, even with your eyes, standing outside, you see so many stars, and the milky way. The house is 10 min from Mariposa, with great restaurants and stores, and a short 1h drive from Yosemite. We will definitely be back!"
"I stayed in a pet-friendly family suite (there were 3 adults and a small dog in our party) in mid-October. Great location to the Big Flat and Hetch Hetchy entrances to Yosemite. The staff is SUPER friendly and nice. There's a park across the street where I was able to walk my dog."
