Top Tuolumne County Museum Hotel Reviews

Heritage Inn Yosemite/Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice room and very clean. Breakfast was decent and I felt safe from a car break in."

Beautiful Updated Home in Downtown Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great house. Exactly as described, clean, spacious with a beautiful backyard. Host was very nice and responsive to questions we asked ahead of time. The house was perfect for our needs."

Gunn House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a great place to stop on our way to Yosemite. Rooms were clean, front desk staff was helpful, and the hotel was in the perfect location to be able to walk to many restaurants, bars, and shops in the downtown Sonora area."

Steps to Main St! Restored Sonora Bungalow w/ Yard

10/10 Excellent

"Host was very pleasurable and allowed us to check-in early. The house was as described and was close to downtown Sonora where we checked out the farmers market and got dinner. Very cozy stay!"

Historical Victorian with Modern Touch. Garage with EV Charger

10/10 Excellent

"This property is historic, yet modern improvements inside. Access is for those who can navigate historic property’s. Stairs, steep streets, narrow passages can be a challenge to some. Once inside, it’s worth it! Plus great hosts"

The Inn on Knowles Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The host is AMAZING. She is the kindest!! She makes the most delicious breakfasts I maybe ever had. Her decorations are impeccable and the vibes there are great. There are so many cats there!!! If you love animals you will love it there. My boyfriend and I stayed there for two nights and three days and honestly I want to go back. We went during the summer so it was HOT (we knew that before we got there). She told us the best time to go is in the fall with all the pumpkins and fall vibes and I and am definitely going to come back during that time. I highly recommend going to the Knowles inn. It really doesn't matter when you go. You'll have a good time at any point in the year! :))"

Private Balcony Overlooking Washington St in Downtown Sonora - Free Parking

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. The hosts have thought of everything. Would DEFINITELY stay again."

Charming 4-bedroom house with WiFi and AC in lovely Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"The solid house layout with all of the modern appliances was great. A word of caution that the front door is 41 stair steps up from the driveway (15 of which are more shallow) with no railings, making the climb difficult for our mobility-challenged member. But once inside, we all loved and enjoyed the house."

Historic Home in Downtown Sonora!

10/10 Excellent

"Recently stayed here with some friends on a much needed getaway trip. It was honestly everything I was hoping for and more! I get sort of nervous traveling, especially when I’m not familiar with the area, but this lovely house’s location quickly relaxed me. Parking was a breeze because there was a parking structure right next to the house for all us (three cars total). Downtown is literally right next to the house and everything was walking distance! We were able to grab food and drinks during the night time with ease, and wake up early to go grab coffee and shop at the local stores. The house was incredibly spacious, but still had so much detail and charm. It felt fancy and cozy all at the same time, which made hanging out with company easy going yet still special. We definitely will be booking again and can’t wait to explore some more!"
