This place was honestly so cute and perfect. We went there to take a little vacation after being diagnosed with cancer, and I'm so glad we did. 10-15 minutes from the entry to Yosemite, 30-40 minutes to Hetch Hetchy, and everything was just gorgeous. The restaurant was good - good food, great service, with a cute lil gift shop. I do wish the store it looks like they used to have was open, but that's okay. Overall, definitely a repeat stay for us.

Good place to stay if going to Yosemite.

It was clean, staff was friendly and very comfortable. Has a nice porch to sit on, activities if you wish to use and a restaurant. Some of the food is good and some not so good, but overall a nice place to stay.
