Yosemite View Lodge

8/10 Good

"One area that could be improved is the dining experience for guests arriving late. The restaurant closes at 9:00 PM, and since we were only arriving around 10:00 PM, we called ahead hoping to place an order. Unfortunately, we were informed that the food had to be picked up in person before closing, which wasn’t possible given our arrival time. As a result, our only option was to rely on the convenience store for a quick snack after a long journey. It would have been a thoughtful gesture if the hotel had allowed the prepared food to be left at the front desk or in the lobby for us to collect upon arrival. While I understand there may be operational policies, a little flexibility in situations like this would greatly enhance the guest experience, especially for travelers checking in late."

10/10 Excellent

"It was the perfect size for the 2 of us. The bed is very soft but did provide enough support. Having internet was necessary are there were many places in the park without cell service. I could plan the day and download maps before heading out. The only issue we ran into was that we couldn't find local channels on the Dish service so we had to watch replays of a couple of World Cup games. I was able to record those replays on the system so we could watch at our leisure the next day."

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and I would rate this property 7/10. The home is spacious, and the kitchen is large enough for a group to gather, cook, and enjoy meals together. The master bedroom and the second bedroom with the queen bed were comfortable, and the master bathroom has a very large shower that was wonderful to use. I also appreciated that the host provided large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, which was a thoughtful touch. Having a washer and dryer was another great convenience, allowing us to wash our clothes before heading home. One thing to keep in mind is that all the bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the lower level. There is no bathroom on the main living area, so guests need to go downstairs to use the restroom. This may not be the most convenient layout for elderly guests or anyone with knee or mobility issues. The bunk bed is suitable for children, but adults sleeping on the lower bunk may find the clearance low, making it difficult to sit up straight. If you’re visiting Yosemite, it’s also worth knowing that power outages can happen in the area. During our second night, the electricity was out for more than three hours after we returned from a full day of exploring. Since there was no cell service or Wi-Fi during the outage, it would be a good idea to bring a flashlight or rechargeable lantern just in case. Overall, this is a comfortable, spacious home in a great location for visiting Yosemite."

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Oak Wood Cabin was everything we were hoping for and more. The location is ideal, and we were truly nestled in nature. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The owner (Laura) and caretaker (Annie) answered any question we had quickly and were helpful with information about the area. We could reach every area of the park, and it’s particularly well situated if you’re spending time in Tuolumne or Hetch-Hetchey. If we’re lucky enough to come back, we already know where we will be staying!"

10/10 Excellent

"We checked in to this property after staying at 2 other properties during our vacation. Stepping in the door and seeing the view was an immediate feeling of ah...we can relax now. It was a great location and a really well kept home. We had the best time and I would 100% stay here again."
