Cedar Lodge

Cedar Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Nothing to complain about. Clean, quiet, and most important very convenient to the park. It was just a quick drive of 10-15 minutes to enter Yosemite. The only downside, and it wasn't big, was a paucity of restaurants. They did have a restaurant, but when we heard the breakfast buffet was $25/person, we availed ourselves of their little market next to the check-in desk to get our eats for the days that we were there. Those were a tad overpriced, but nothing unusual considering the location. I highly recommend that people consider booking this place. It was great, clean, and location, location, location!"

10/10 Excellent
"We recently stayed at Waybound for 3 nights as part of a California road trip. This was the perfect base for visiting Yosemite being only 2 miles from South Gate. This was the best part of our road trip as we really enjoyed the site. The high standard of the cabin, the newly opened clubhouse/grounds and general setting were perfect. Plus the short walk over to the Tenaya Hotel meant we got the benefit of all the additional facilities. It was a shame some of the restaurants in Tenaya were shut but we did visit outside of the US holidays so maybe simply down to number of customers staying not warranting them being open. If we visit Yosemite again we would definitely book again 💯"

"The pictures do not exagerate--this is literally one room, packed tight. We had three adults and two kids sleeping, and it was cramped. Location is great."
