The place is really cozy and has a warm cabin feel. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Only complaint was the bed wasn't very comfortable and the pillows were a little flat for my liking. Overall the place was a nice stay and the staff were really friendly.

Conveniently located near Yosemite’s south entrance in Fish Camp, this rustic yet cozy hotel offers easy access to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias and peaceful forest- or mountain-view rooms. My forest-view room made it easy to reconnect with nature as I listened to the nighttime sounds from its patio. The room and bathroom were spacious, although the shower stall was quite small and seemed to meet only the minimum size requirements. Compared with the crowded, pricey hotels inside the park in Yosemite Valley, this felt like a true hidden gem. After a tiring hike, a great meal at the on-site restaurant was especially welcome, and both the front desk and restaurant staff were very hospitable.

I thought the place was great! The staff went out of their way to help in any way possible. The room was clean, bright, decorated perfectly and had a great view from the deck. The location was perfect. I had a great week there, I would definitely stay again. Many thanks to the friendly Inn staff and crew in the restaurant, the chef was awesome.

Great place to stay outside of the park. Around a 20 minute drive to the nearest town where you can get gas and food. Around 13 minutes to the South Gate and around an hour to the valley. Great forest view from the balcony.

It was one of my favorite places to stay in Yosemite. The location was beautiful, and I really enjoyed my time there. The only downside was the beds—they could definitely use an upgrade. The mattress was uncomfortable, and I woke up with back pain after sleeping on it. Overall, I would stay here again, but more comfortable beds would make the experience even better.

Narrow Gauge was a basic mountain motel. Some old charm and basic accommodations. The room we were in (38) was a bit noisy with a wooden staircase and rickety noisy wooden porch outside the door. Bed was comfy and had all necessities. Carpet was a bit grody and small shower but very good water pressure. Staff at the front were super and the restaurant and bar are good.
