We stayed in a standard room which was perfect for our needs with a fridge and microwave. It was clean and comfortable and the Inn setting by the river is lovely. Also in easy reach of Yosemite valley.

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.

The property is not far away from Yosemite National Park. It’s a quiet, peaceful place. The small river behind the property adds its beauty. The owner of the property is very helpful with customer’s questions.

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.

So in love with the cabin style lodging. Excellent addition of the rocking chairs outside each cabin. Greatest idea ever. Easy parking right in front of my cabin. Place is quiet with a flowing river behind. Highly recommend.

Property was adequate for price, bit far from Yosemite itself though. Room was clean and tidy, could have used more amenities such as shampoo/conditioner. Overall a decent experience for the price.

Great Stay Year Round
The stay was great as always. Conveniently near Rainbow pool, 40 minutes from Yosemite park, 20 minutes from Carlon falls and 40 minutes from HetchHetchy. Meditation early morning with the creek flow and nature chirping. Spacious clean and welcoming. I come here often. Converasation is minimal but accomadations are fulfilled

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.
