Check in was SO simple, and the room was exceptionally clean and quiet-especially the bathroom. I appreciate that the shower head is more than 72" high! It's perfect for tall guests like me! The Idle Hour kitchen had a lovely brunch, which we enjoyed with our dog, and the staff were all welcoming and pleasant! This is our 15th Thanksgiving weekend to stay here, and it gets better and better! Thank you to all the QI/IH Staff!

I recently stayed here for a wedding over the weekend. It’s a cute cabin like inn. The staff is super friendly and everything was clean and the cats at the site are super cute. Their restaurant also had good food. My one thing is to drive down to the property and sometimes parking can be limited depending on time of day but luckily they have parking on the other side of the inn.

The rental cabin itself was nice and clean, everything working as it should, but a bit dusty on a lot of the top portions of the room, the check-in process was hectic, had walked into the office and had dogs barking, and was in the middle of a reception, was told to go to the bar area where the wedding reception was held in order to check in, but not who to talk to at all and was very confusing and offputting. Checkout was a lot smoother and straightforward

Went on a Monday for 1 night. Got the king room with jetted tub. Jetted tub was great but everything else lacked. Check in was easy but unsafe (guest name on envelope with a key) Doors only have 1 handle lock on the handle that can easily be picked or broken No dead bolt no keyless entry. No black out curtains. King bed was spring mats and squeaky with every movement (uncomfortable). The property itself was clean and nice and quiet.

Great place near Yosemite

Charming cabin, pleasing property, free wine tasting. Restaurant and winery are great, owner has homeade bread for sale, and homeade cookies in our room when we checked in. Very close to Yosemite! Restaurant is popular with locals, always a good sign.

Nice but…

River view was over rated on the website. Trailer cabin lacking counter space, storage space, kitchenette was merely a sink, microwave, dorm fridge. No utensils no paper towel, no kitchen towel no sink in the bathroom outdoor end table 2 miniature chairs inside , ceiling fan covered in dust and cobwebs by tv. On the good side the wine bar and associated restaurant were very nice. So was the staff, very quiet, good location good price. No staff in the afternoon no one answers a phone.

Great Stay!

My wife and I had a great stay at Queen's Inn by the River! We were visiting some family in the area and also went to Yosemite while here so the location was perfect for us. Quiet little town with a surprisingly decent array of food options, though the hotel does have its own food offerings. Really happy with the cleanliness of the room, specifically the bathroom was spotless. The staff were all very helpful and service was quick. We appreciated that the property is set a bit back from the main road since it basically eliminated any background noise you'd typically experience. This also granted us few special deer visitors which we were able to observe from window. Overall a very nice experience!
