Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a lovely, old fashioned, hidden gem close to Yosemite; it has been in the same family for three generations which reflects in the service and upkeep of the property. It is nestled next to a beautiful stream which creates a cool green oasis amidst an arid forest area in the hot summer months. We will definitely stay there again next time we are visiting the area.

My wife and I stayed here before heading into Yosemite on our honeymoon, and only regret was not booking more of our days here before heading back to home to Colorado. The portion of the Tuolumne that runs through the property is beautiful, providing a peaceful soundtrack to your stay. While nothing fancy, their Wi-Fi was beyond solid, and they provide the kind of solitude that fancy/modern stays could never give you.

General cleaning was ok, found used cups and small trash under the bed, the wrapped bowls not cleaned and with stains and condensation, floor was mysteriously wet from the bedroom door to the kitchen… other than that, we expect a little rustic and casual setting, staffs were friendly, like the river running at the back of the building…

beautiful one night stay near Yosemite

Our suite radiates the charm of this natural space, by the River and forest. Suite is spacious with few small corners the family can take when need alone time. Clean and nicely maintained. The gentlemen who checked us in late at night was patience and a big shoutout to the helpful Blythe when we called several times before our stay as we were apprehensive bringing our elderly mother. We appreciate Blythe for arranging an accessible room and making our one night stay easy and comfortable. Thank you the property is beautiful and we wish we had more time to explore your area before heading to Yosemite.
