Top Merced Grove Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Yosemite View Lodge

8/10 Good

"Good location just outside the Arch Rock park entrance."

Rush Creek Lodge and Spa at Yosemite

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a place that you don’t want to leave and when you leave you want to come back. It’s unique and relaxing from the dynamic of the world. No TVs in the property and on the end you actually appreciate that. The staff is friendly and helpful. Property is well maintained and they thought about everything."

Curry Village

8/10 Good

"Es un modo accesible y cómodo de estar en el Parque. Las camas eran más cómodas de lo esperado y ofrecen buenas sábanas y abrigo. Si vas con temperaturas muy bajas de noche lleva bolsas de dormir extra por las dudas"

Red Bud Lodge

8/10 Good

"The property had maybe 6 rooms. They were nice. Close to the road but I thought quiet. The best plus I think was no one was around after a day in Yosemite with more people than I would have ever imagined"

Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages

8/10 Good

"We had a excellent experience, the only complaint we have is the mattress on our cabin was way gone, we felt like we slept in a water bed. Other than that it was a pretty cool experience. 15 minute drive to Yosemite"

Riverfront House 5 miles to Yosemite! THE closest to the Hwy 120 gate. 3 bdrm AC

"Dan is an excellent host and was easy to get hold of and quick to answer any and all questions. We highly recommend and the house was great!"

INSIDE YOSEMITE! 10 Minutes From Yosemite Valley. Summer and fall openings!

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin has a lot of attention to detail and is just as advertised. It is conveniently located to access main road to Yosemite Valley and surrounding areas in the Park. The directions to the cabin were perfect and very detailed. Easy to access the owner with great communication. Very clean with well stocked kitchen for essential cooking utensils. Quiet serene property. Comfortable bed- loved the screened in porch. Would definitely stay there again:)"

Inside Yosemite National Park! No separate park reservation required!

10/10 Excellent

"What a great home in an amazing location! We had an awesome time. Just be aware there is not only no wi-fi (due to being in a forest filled with giant tress), but there is also no cell signal. What better place to disconnect from devices for a while!? :-)"

Stay Inside Yosemite National Park! No separate park reservation required.
